About the host
Hosted by Emily
We are from New Orleans and wanted a quick, weekend getaway for our family. We immediately realized how wonderful Ocean Springs, MS is for families and wanted to share our space and experiences with other families.
Why they chose this property
Our first time visiting Ocean Springs, MS was Summer of 2023 with both of our kids and we immediately fell in love with the city! It reminds us of a wholesome, smaller version of New Orleans. Unique artist community with great food, coffee and lots of kid-friendly activities.
What makes this property unique
Our property is located in the heart of downtown Ocean Springs. Walking distance to Front Beach and Washington Ave, where all of the restaurants and shops are located. Our property features a pool and game room for lots of family fun. We chose eco- friendly and family- friendly touches such as pack-n-play, kids utensils and dinnerware, sound machine, baby monitor, beach toys and so much more. We also offer organic coffee and teas and only use Branch Basics for cleaning.
