Peaceful beautiful property

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The house and property were beautifully maintained. It was very peaceful. Enjoyed walking the beach. We even used the fire pit and Adirondack chairs on the beach even though it was cool. Very thoughtful touches and amenities. Kitchen was very well equipped for eating in. Loved the views from the porch and gazebo. Secluded but easy access to anything we needed. Even played some of the board games in the closet. Checkin checkout process was a breeze and Clay was a pleasure to work with. Thank you for sharing your home away from home.

Perfectly Magical

This was our second stay at Sandhill (we've stayed three times at properties managed by the owners) and it was wonderful once again. We were slightly worried this trip might not live up to the first, but that fear was definittley misplaced! The house was very clean, very well-presented and well-appointed. It was the perfect setting for everything we wanted to do for our beach vacation.

We feel like we are coming home , 5 stays in 4 years. Could not ask for a more welcoming home. Great base for bird photography. Exceptional neighborhood of lovely homes. Hosts think of everything. Great Ocean Springs shops, Walter Anderson Museum and shops, Shearwater Pottery all outstanding. Back next fall.

Perfect Getaway

The photos really don't do the place justice- the home is stunning! Such a beautiful place, clean and comfortable amenities, and the layout allows the perfect setup for lots of space, as well as the opportunity for gatherings. We loved the porch views, the private beach, roasting smores on the beach at night, and kayaking with porpoises. We hope to get the chance to return!

Beautiful Home

This beach house was even better than pictured. Beds, furnishings, appliances, many other details that the host has included to make your stay wonderful and seamless.The hosts were easy to get a hold of when needed and very attentive. Beach biting flies were avoided when we realized they only came out when water was still and at certain times of day. Everyone enjoyed their stay!

Great stay!

House was great! Updated and beautiful! Right on the beach! The house was very well stocked, beds were very comfortable and house was very clean! We loved having two refrigerators! The fishing was good! The water was pretty brackish when we were there but I’m told it’s not always like that. Beach was great! So peaceful and quiet! The water is shallow for a long ways out (nothing over 7 ft for as far out as our kayaks went) we enjoyed catching shrimp and crabs in our cast nets! And had a fire right on the beach! Definitely one of our best vacations full of memories!

About the host

Hosted by Irene Gillespie

Hi! I’m Clay Gillespie. My wife Irene and I have been happily married for 30 years, and we're parents of four amazing adult children. Originally from Ponchatoula, Louisiana, I’ve always loved the serenity and character of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. After raising our children in Illinois and a move to Franklin, Tennessee, we have found our happy place in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. We take pride in hosting and ensuring your stay feels like a true escape.

Why they chose this property

We own both Sandhill Beachhouse and Seagrass Beach Cottage right next door. We fell in love with the natural beauty and tranquility of this stretch of beach. The private setting, gentle waves, and stunning views from our oversized porch sealed the deal. The Belle Fontaine beach neighborhood is quiet, peaceful, and tucked away from the crowds, yet close to everything. It’s our dream retirement spot—and in the meantime, we’re thrilled to share it with you.

What makes this property unique

What sets Sandhill apart? True oceanfront privacy. You’re not sharing beach access, stairs, or crowded walkways—this is YOUR beach. The elevated porch is perfect for soaking in the views with a coffee or cocktail. Inside, you’ll love the open floor plan, antique wood floors, and luxury touches throughout. Bonus? The elevator makes coming and going a breeze.
