Don't forget to tag us with your photo in front of our memory wall, and remember... Magic happens on the Porch.
The Porch was dreamed up by a former Publicist who took the best of her travels to New York, Miami and Los Angeles and blended chic amenities of the best hotels and paired them into cozy southern cottages. You will find magical touches infused at our properties such as bistro lights, in room fireplaces and outdoor firepits. A lighted memory wall for photo ops and nooks hidden throughout to invoke the imagination. Magic truly happens at the Porch!

Great time in Ocean Springs staying here. Wonderful location. Short walk to restaurants, shopping and the beach. Accommodations were perfect for us and our 11 year old Boykin Spaniel, Molly. Thanks for a wonderful time.
It was nice and clean. Great location to the downtown and great walking area. A microwave would be a nice addition to the kitchenette. The dark colors made it seem really dark inside. A different light fixture in the bedroom would really help the darkness.
We loved everything about this place. The location was perfect and our dog, NovaLee loved joining us on our trip. It was a great little getaway/anniversary trip before our first baby arrived. My husband wants to remodel our house now. It felt like home and we can’t wait to come back with more family & friends.
Loved it! My only issue was that it was advertised as pet friendly but not a lot of space for pets. That said, we had a great time, there is a park right behind the property to walk dogs, and the owners were communicative and welcoming!
