Loved the proximity to the downtown area. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was nicely updated and efficient. The backyard was great for us and our dog, Gemma. I will stay here again.
Do yourself and favor and stay here! It has everything to offer, plenty of space, good sized bedrooms, beautiful backyard to enjoy coffee in the morning or beverage in the evening and room for kids to play, or fully enclosed patio with AC, and walking distance to restaurants downtown Ocean Springs. Just overall perfect for our stay. Rose is absolutely sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again! Thanks for a wonderful time at the Garden Retreat!
You can walk downtown and earn your TatoNut. There are beach supplies which was nice to have as well. Very quiet street and very convenient. Definitely a great place to stay with your family.
Great property, everything as promised. Rose was an excellent hostess and super easy to communicate with. The house is great, loved the quiet of the area and the birdsong while having coffee on the porch.
Perfect name! The pictures did not do justice to the beautiful trees and landscaping. Truly relaxing just sitting outside!The owner and her asst manager were helpful with getting me oriented to the new town...
The house was perfect. Very clean. Close to downtown & convenient to getting around the surrounding areas. Would look to stay here if we visit again in the future.
The house was plenty big for the 3 of us and had all of the equipment we needed. The washer and dryer were really nice to have. Ocean Springs is such a nice town. I recommend renting the golf cart. It's such a great way to get around downtown and to the beach.
We’ve stayed at various VRBOs in the US and Europe. This one was the very best for cleanliness and quality. Rose was super responsive and helpful. And Jessie (the dog) loved the back yard. Thank you Rose for keeping the property in such good shape.
This house is great for relaxing, enjoying the beach or exploring all the shops of downtown. The location could not be better and my dogs enjoyed the fenced yard. Definitely want to return!

Great stay in Ocean Springs. Clean, comfortable, close and convenient to all that Ocean Springs and the Mississippi Gulf Coast has to offer.
We had a wonderful time in Ocean Springs in spite of the weather. Rose recommended places to eat and things to see and do, she was spot on! What a lovely and convenient place to stay, so comfortable and everything you could need. Rose is the best host!!
The Garden Retreat was just the right place for us to stay during our visit. Close enough to feel part of the action but far enough away to not feel overwhelmed. Beds were comfortable and neighbors were friendly!
Great location for visiting the area. Close to downtown Ocean Springs for shopping and restaurants. A short drive to Biloxi. Love the all season room. We'll stay again when we visit.
Quite place, great for visiting family and the back yard was great for the dogs! Thank you!
