Welcome to The Oyster Shack! The Coast's cutest coastal cottage!
This perfect little getaway is just a short walking distance from the beach and a few minutes drive from everything the Gulf Coast has to offer! The cottage was renovated in 2018 with no expenses spared. The interior of the home expresses those eclectic qualities expected from a renovated antique cottage such as beadboard ceilings, heart pine floors, cypress cabinets, and stained glass windows. The home features two small bedrooms containing queen beds, one bathroom, a living area (w/pull out couch), high end kitchen, and delightful porches. The home is preferably placed in West Gulfport, south of the "tracks" as we locals say. This lends easy access both east and west along Highway 90.
The Mississippi Gulf Coast is a locale rich with fascinating history that has become a melting pot of culinary expression and regional customs. The intent of The Oyster Shack is to share the many joys of the Coast that my family holds dear with those that wish to experience the "Coasty" way of life.

We love the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Very relaxing and beautiful, Oyster Shack is very clean and in a quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Close to the beach and restaurants. Our old dachshund loved the spacious backyard. Looking forward to stay there again.
I’m so happy that I chose the Oyster Shack for our weekend stay! It was perfect for my family and I! Amy was a sweetheart and communicated well with me, and made our stay so relaxing. We definitely are already in the process of planning another trip!
The Oyster shack is a great place to stay on the Gulf coast. It has everything you need for your vacation. It is sparkling clean and well decorated with comfortable beds.There are porches at the front and back so you can sit out and enjoy the sun or shade. It is a pleasant neighborhood and the beach is only a block away.

Just a block from the beach and minutes to everything made this home the perfect rental! We absolutely recommend this rental to anyone and would definitely love to come back to enjoy The Oyster Shack!
The Oyster Shack was wonderful. It is a charming home so close to the beach and downtown Gulfport. It has everything you would need for your stay and more. Amy was great and communication with her was a breeze. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would return to The Oyster Shack in a heartbeat.
