Mermaid's Muse - Includes GOLF CART! Close to beach & downtown Ocean Springs!
Approximately a mile from the water, Mermaid's Muse is a beautiful, three-bedroom property near the white sands and beautiful sunsets of Ocean Springs beaches, as well as just down the road from the heart of the historic downtown Ocean Springs shopping/restaurant district.
This charming, newly renovated cottage has three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and includes the use of a deluxe electric street-legal golf cart!
Mermaid Muse is the perfect place for a romantic weekend getaway, as well as week-long vacations with the family.
Loaded with amenities, you will find a clean, artistically decorated space with all the conveniences of home.
Mermaid's Muse features a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances including an oven/stove, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, toaster, blender, coffee maker, and all the utensils you will need for preparing meals on days you rather stay in the comforts of home, rather than eating out at the numerous Ocean Springs hot-spots.
The living room provides a comfortable place to lounge in front of the large flat-screen SmartTV, and provides an extra place to sleep if needed with the pull-out Queen-size sofa bed.
In the Master Bedroom, you will find a Sleep Number King bed and SmartTV, with a private bathroom.
There are two guest bedrooms with a full bathroom between them. The entire property is equipped with high-speed wireless Internet.
There is a front porch deck as well as a front balcony that provides outdoor seating to relax in the gulf breezes.

While at Mermaid's Muse you will feel completely at home and never need to leave the property to have a fantastic stay, but if you can tear yourself away, you'll find yourself just down the road from the heart of the quaint historic town of Ocean Springs.

Loved the Mermaid cabin. It is beautiful! We had a very relaxing stay. easy golf cart ride to the beach and downtown. If you can, highly recommend the Walter Anderson Museum with the audio tour. Sipping coffee in the morning on either of the decks. Also Easy to work We’ll be back!
This was and adorable and immaculate cottage! Shopping and dining was all very convenient and the icing on the cake was having the golf cart! 10/10 recommend. We would definitely go back!
This cottage is cozy and elegant. The half bath off the living room is extremely convenient. Fun places to visit nearby, natural beauty, and a relaxed pace of life make a getaway to the mermaids muse well worth it.
The house was perfect. Close to everything, easy to find, and very comfortable.House was very clean, stocked with everything we needed.Layout was perfect, main bedroom on ground floor, two bed rooms and bath up stairs. Great separation. Bonus powder room was a plus.Close to all the restaurants and bars, but far enough away to be peaceful. Golf cart was convient and fun.E
The Mermaid's Muse was the perfect location for our girls weekend away. The place was exactly as pictured and was in a great location. Close to everything but still quiet. The golf cart was a great bonus and we used it a lot.
We had the best time at Mermaid Muse. Our family of 4 loved the quaint and cozy style of the house. It was beautifully decorated and accommodating. The bedrooms and bed were so comfortable! We had the best nights of sleep there and when you are traveling - that’s important! The golf cart was a great and convenient feature for hitting the downtown and restaurants. The house was so close to everything - it was just perfect. The host was very attentive and provided great communication. We will definitely stay again in the future!!
Cute place near everything in downtown Ocean Springs
We loved this place and the golf cart! Adorable cottage nestled in a safe area amongst other cottages. It was close to the beach and everything in the downtown area and the golf cart made it easy for us to get around with our 6 month old. We truly enjoyed our stay!
My husband and I had a great time! We got out for a much needed date night & decided to get a place to stay for the night. The Mermaid Muse did not disappoint! Beautiful, clean, and comfortable stay!
This property was better than the pictures show!!! All the little details inside are spectacular and the golf cart is top notch! This is, by far, the best place and experience we’ve had!!!!
This house is a great place to stay -super close to downtown and a short golf cart ride to the beaches. The golf cart was a BIG bonus with the town having plenty of parking for the carts. I wouldn’t stay anywhere without a cart. The only draw back is house is on main road so you do hear some traffic at front of house but not enough to keep us from staying here again. Nice property!
We had a great time here. The house was perfect and beautifully decorated. It was close to everything and having the golf cart was the cherry on top. I would absolutely stay again.
The place was super cute and clean. My daughters absolutely loved the look of this place. The golf cart being included was fantastic and made getting around so much easier. Look forward to staying here again.
Beautiful cottage. Clean and very functional. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed using the golf cart much more than anticipated. The porch was nice, but was next to street traffic, and a Keurig coffeemaker was not available as indicated. But overall, an excellent place to stay. We would definitely recommend.

Thank you so much for the great review! We’re so glad you found the cottage clean, comfortable, and enjoyed the golf cart even more than expected — it’s definitely a guest favorite!
Being close to the Downtown Entertainment District does mean there’s a bit more activity and traffic at times, but most guests love the convenience of being just steps from all the great restaurants, bars, and shops.
As for the coffee maker, the Keurig gave out on us recently, so we replaced it with a drip machine — most guests actually prefer being able to brew a full pot to enjoy on the porch.
We’re so happy you had a great stay overall and really appreciate the recommendation. Hope to host you again soon!
We enjoyed our stay at Mermaid Muse! Beautifully decorated with modern southern furniture. This place was perfect in the heart of downtown Ocean Springs!
