About this property

"Lil House" Cozy 2-bedroom cottage walking distance to beach and downtown.

This home is the perfect getaway spot. Located in a quiet neighborhood, just a 2 min walk to the public beach and 4 blocks away from Main Street in Old Town Bay St. Louis. It is also just steps from the old Train Depot and a great local BBQ place. Downtown is just 8 min walk away and features local restaurants, night life, marina, coffee shops (you have to try the Mockingbird Cafe), shopping and more.

We recently remodeled this cottage to be better suited for small families of 4 or 2 couples who were looking for that perfect getaway. We hope that when you stay here, you enjoy all the Bay has to offer and can escape back to your own piece of paradise.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This is the perfect place for a small family, two couples or friends. The location is a block from the beach and just down the road from all of the restaurants / bars / music. We had a great time and were very comfortable in the home. We will stay here again and again. Can't wait.

The house was very clean and spacious. Good neighborhood as well. Beats staying away from the crowd of a hotel which are very overpriced these days.

Beach /Mark Benfatti

It was very well maintained, very clean, the kitchen had all items that were needed. Bedrooms and the rest of the house was very nice. Outside was nice. We were able to sit outside on porch and enjoyed the view. Loved it and would rent it again.
