Wonderful trip

We had a wonderful time at this property. Lydia went above and beyond even before the trip when we realized we needed one more day added. The pool was what my son went for and it did not disappoint. Beautiful property!

As long as this place is available, this is where we will stay each time we visit the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The property is beautiful…from the ocean view and majestic trees to the charming pool house that literally looks like a home featured in Southern Living. The property is well maintained with tons of amenities. Tom and Lydia are most gracious hosts. The location is perfect, just a short drive to any of the popular tourist attractions but away from the congested areas. We absolutely did not want to leave this slice of heaven, and we will definitely be back, hopefully with more family to stay in the bungalow as well as the pool house.

First of all this house was MAGICAL! It was like staying at your cool, artsy, french grandmas house. The house was packed with all you need and MORE. We had our 3 girls and MIL with us. The only thing that I was not happy about was how the listing was a little decieving. We thought we booked a two bedroom, 2 bathroom. But it was actually a one bedroom, one bathroom and a half bath. It had a living room with two twin beds, and a fold out couch. Sharing one bathroom for 6 ppl was a little frustrating. We made it work but I think they need to be clearer on the layout of the house. The other bathroom that was supposed to be the 2nd bathroom was the outside pool house with a shower and toilet. Next thing was the POOL! It was awesome to have a pool that we could use when we didn't want to do the beach. The grounds were beautiful and well taken care of, the kitchen was well stocked, and our stay was definitely one we will remember!
