About the host
Hosted by Kathy
Hi there! Our Airbnb owner-adventures began in early 2024 when we purchased The Creola Beach Cottage, and we continue to enjoy the excitement that hosting brings. We are delighted to meet guests (either in person or via messaging), to listen to their stories, and to share our own, especially as related to the property's personally-connected history and how we came to acquire it. We live locally and encourage you to reach out with any questions or concerns. We will do our best to make sure your stay with us is everything you hope it to be. Thanks for choosing Creola! Kathy & Mike
Why they chose this property
We live close by and enjoy the quiet, family-friendly, laid-back nature of Waveland. We also have a personal story about the property that we are happy to share! :-)
What makes this property unique
A ground-level house this close to the beach is a rarity! It was rebuilt fairly quickly following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, helping to jump-start the revitalization of the area.
We are also pet friendly.
