About this property

Took the Bayt | Hooked on Canal Views, Sandbar Fun & Old Town Vibes

This 3-bedroom, 2-bath coastal retreat sleeps up to 8 and sits on a navigable canal leading to Bayou LaCroix and the Jourdan River. Whether you're reeling in redfish, cruising to the sandbar, or just soaking in the view, Took the Bayt is the perfect launchpad for your Bay St. Louis adventure.

While there’s no launch on-site, you’re just 6 minutes from Bayou LaCroix Marina (11160 MS-603) — an easy spot to launch your boat, jet ski, or paddleboard. After a day on the water, it’s a smooth ride back to the property, where you can tie off at the on-site boat dock. (Please note: the boat lift is not operational for guests.)

Inside, the open-concept living area invites you to stretch out on the oversized sectional sofa (seats 8+) with a smart TV and tons of natural light. The dining table seats 6, with 4 barstools at the kitchen island — perfect for family meals, game nights, or lazy breakfasts. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the essentials (plus a few extras like an Instant Pot, blender, and crockpot) for whatever you’re cooking up.

The master suite features a king-size bed, private ensuite with tub/shower combo, and a spacious walk-in closet. The second bedroom has a queen bed and walk-in closet. The third bedroom is a bunk lover’s dream — with two sets of twin bunk beds that sleep 4. These two guest rooms share a full bathroom.

All bedrooms include smart TVs, and the home has high-speed fiber internet throughout. For unplugged fun, you’ll find plenty of board games, cards, and puzzles to enjoy.

Traveling with littles? We’ve got you covered with a highchair and portable infant sleeper. The laundry room has a washer, dryer, and starter supplies to help you keep beachwear fresh all week.

☀️ Outdoor Perks

Start your mornings on the upstairs porch swing or rocking chairs with a cup of coffee and sunrise views over the canal.

Downstairs, you'll love the large covered patio complete with:

Individual swing seats
Picnic table
Outdoor bar
Big screen smart TV
BBQ grill
Whether you’re grilling or watching the game this is the perfect spot to relax after a sun-soaked day.

Last Vacation before school starts back😆

We loved the house. It’s beautiful! The outside area was fantastic. It was over 100 degrees on our trip but any other time, we would have loved to be out there cooking and relaxing. Easy check in and Sammie helped us with any need! You will love it!

Family Time!

I can’t say enough about the beautiful home! All of the accommodations were top of the line! The bedding was so comfortable, the kitchen had everything and more that we needed for our large group, from grilling to baking we did it all and had everything we needed to make it happen! The furnishings in the home were beautiful and comfortable! We spent most of our time swinging under the porch and visiting with a beautiful view while the kids enjoyed the canal! The owner was so accommodating and helpful making this the best long weekend getaway with my kids and grandkids! Can’t wait until next time we will be back!

One of my favorite houses to rent!!!!

Wow, wow, wow! This is one of our favorite houses to stay at for SO many reasons! 1. Working with the owner was a pleasure. Sammie was super helpful and made this process easy. I had a good feeling leading up to our trip that everything was going to be in order and ready for us upon arrival…and it was. 2. The house is gorgeous! Beautiful living area and the downstairs was perfect for hanging out. 3. Completely stocked! This sometimes worries me…will I have enough pots and/pans, tupperware (if any), utensils, etc? No need to bring anything…its all there, plus more (all in one ninja, coffee pot, etc). 4. All info given ahead of time or is accessible at the house. Easy instructions for arrival and departure. 5. Close to Bay St Louis (but, honestly, we didnt want to leave the house). Neighborhood is quaint and neighbors are friendly. Took a walk in the morning and enjoy the views and friendly locals. We couldn’t ask for more. This is a wonderful place to relax, read, and enjoy life. Thank you Sammie…we will be back.

Wonderful Vacation Home and Host

We have stayed in this area for years and by far this was the best rental! The host from day one was so easy to work with and provided many great restaurant recommendations. The layout of the home was great with the master suite separated from the other rooms and additional bathroom. The open layout of the kitchen, dining, living area made the home seem large and bright. The bed in the master was comfortable along with the huge den couch. There is plenty of room at the dining table or kitchen bar for seating. The kitchen included all needed items to cook our meals. The decor from the rugs to the furnishings are beautiful and make the home feel cozy. The downstairs outside cooking area was great for entertaining. This included swinging on one of the four individual swings, watching TV, or fishing. The home is located near the Hollywood casino and the wonderful Bay St Louis area. Be sure to eat breakfast at the Mockingbird Cafe and try the barbecue at Murky Waters. Two other favorites include the fish tacos at Trapani’s and tamales and tacos at the Tamale Shack in Gulfport. We will return to “Took the Bayt”!

Great place , everything we wanted and more

Had a great short stay but wish it was even longer in order to enjoy the property. Was clean and the beds were comfortable. Furnishings were perfect for visiting and enjoying a meal. It was cold when we were there, but the outdoor tv, swinging chairs, and bar area underneath look like a great place to enjoy . And if you have a boat , well this is a perfect setup. Has all the amenities needed for a great relaxing trip.

An amazing getaway!

We can’t say enough good about our stay at Took the Bayt! Between the relaxing atmosphere and ideal location, this place offered exactly what we were looking for. The host was very easy to contact, super nice, and quick to help with any needs we had during our stay. The outdoor space was perfect for my husband and me to relax and watch the kids play. The outdoor swing bed was definitely a personal favorite during my morning coffee. We can’t wait to revisit!
