This property was amazing! We had 15 family members and we were all extremely comfortable and just as happy with our stay. With 7 adults and 8 kiddos 3 to 11y/o, this speaks volumes. The house is beautiful and well supplied. Although there were no shells, the "Private" beach as well as the ocean were perfect! A great place to "get away"! From the start hosts were great communicators. Highly Recommend!
Beautiful home in a peaceful setting. Plenty of room to take walks out back on the beach or the road out front. About a 20-25 minute drive to get to grocery stores, restaurants, breweries, etc. We were there in February so the weather was hit and miss but the house is designed for all seasons. LOVED the wrap around porch!
We had a wonderful stay! The location couldn’t be better—beautiful beachfront and incredibly convenient, just steps from the sand. Our kids had a fantastic time, and we even enjoyed a couple of cozy bonfire nights. The home had plenty of space for our family, and we appreciated the extra blankets and rollaway beds. The fully stocked kitchen made it easy to cook most nights, and the sunsets were absolutely stunning. Such a relaxing getaway. We’ll definitely be back!
What a great place. The view of the sunset over the Gulf is amazing. This house has plenty to offer and the owners have made the whole process easy. The Shed BBQ and Bacchus on the Bayou were fantastic. I kind of wish our schedule hadn’t been so busy so that we could have spent more time out on the deck and beach.
Property is gorgeous. Enjoyed peaceful mornings overlooking the Gulf and lots of space for everyone. Property owner was easily accessible and quick to answer when there were questions. Highly recommend this property for a peaceful get away!
Lovely setting and great house. We ended up with two more children than we planned on and there was still lots of room for everyone. The kids had fun fishing and crabbing!
What a beautiful getaway! This little home away from home stood out above all the others for its beautiful interior design, amazing amenities, and breathtaking setting with a fire pit right on the beach. It did not disappoint. Every room had an adjoining bathroom with plenty of clean towels. What a great idea for a beach home. The kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of pots and pans and everything we needed for a low country boil, and cooking every day of our stay. We loved the fire pit and seating right on the beach and took full advantage of the sprawling porches overlooking the gulf. We also loved the long expansive dining table with extra chairs so all 12 of us could dine together. It made for a beautiful place to celebrate milestone birthdays for two of our family members. There was a storm one night of our stay and a grounds crew came and cleaned up the beach. The owners thought of every detail and we all said we would love to return to stay here again- something we do not say often. Thank you so much for the opportunity for this beautiful experience that will last a lifetime.
Great place for family get together. The kids loved the big yard and the beach area. We had a bonfire every night! Porch area was lovely refuge any time of day!
The house layout was perfect. Everyone was able to have their space. The view of the beach was fantastic. We loved making s'mores on the beach at the fire pit.
Perfect for what we needed. It was awesome that each bedroom had its own bathroom. The house is absolutely beautiful! We had a great stay. Would definitely stay here again

Thank you so much for the nice review Tiffany. We look forward to having you back. next year.
The home was as beautiful as pictured! We loved the large deck overlooking the Gulf. The neighborhood is very quiet as is the beach. We very much enjoyed our time at the Seagrass, but also enjoyed time in Ocean Springs!
An excellent place to experience all sorts of things the Gulf Coast has to offer. Being located on a sort of peninsula provided privacy and an awesome beach experience just steps from the back door. Yet we were still close enough to Biloxi, Mobile or even New Orleans to experience those amazing cities over the course of a week. Would absolutely recommend this house to a friend!

My name is Clay Gillespie. My wife Irene and I have been very happily married for 30 years. We have 23-year-old triplets and a 22-year-old.
Why they chose this property
We own both Seagrass Beach Cottage as well as the Sandhill Beachhouse just next door. I immediately fell in love with both of these properties, their charm and character, not to mention the serenity of their own private beach right on the Gulf of Mexico. Our favorite part of Seagrass is the oversized covered back porch, where we can sit all day, taking in the breathtaking views and sounds of the ocean.
Ultimately, Irene and I plan to retire here, but in the meantime, we are pleased to share our home as a vacation rental property.
What makes this property unique
The most desirable benefit of the Seagrass Beach Cottage is most definitely the private, natural white sand BEACH! The sounds and views of the Gulf are absolutely spectacular, whether taking them in from the oversized back porch or from your beach chair right on the water.
