Love this place

We love this place, 1st time we stayed in the pool studio, then planned a family vaca to stay in the guest house. The vibe is great, the pool is the place we always wanna hang out at, such a cool pool, literally being shaded, it's so nice, and definitely helps you beat the heat. We're look forward to staying again in the future as often as possible.

Amazing Place

We loved our time at Adobe! Having the mother in law suite was awesome! Pool is magical and house has charm for days. We rented a golf cart and had the best time driving around Bay St Louis. It’s like a Hallmark town, cute artsy places and the friendliest people and great restaurants, can’t say enough, we looked at possibly buying a house down there it was so memorable! You’ll love everything about the house and town! A++++

Girls' Trip

We had a wonderful stay at the Abode! We traveled from Central Louisiana with our group of ladies who have been friends since elementary school. The house was lovely, like a comfortable museum. We laughed and visited by the beautiful oasis and pool. It was a short ride to the shops and restaurants in our golf cart. The property was clean and had everything that we needed. The host Vanessa was easily accessible and we talked several times.

Wonderful vacation

This Abode was such a gem to find. In the heat of the summer it was wonderful to just relax in the courtyard pool. It was very transporting with the open roof to see the sky, with it completely closed in for privacy. All the potted plants around the pool make one feel they are in a hidden tropical paradise. The thing I loved the most was the fact that all my kids from 15-21 never watched TV, even though there are TV’s in every room, they are not the focal point, so they just forgot about them, and swam and played many games of pool in the pool table room. Just lovely!!!

Enchanting and Historic Home

Our Easter weekend at the Abode was wonderful. We relaxed in the pool (perfect temp) with guests from one of the studios. Everyone and everything was perfect! The beds were very comfortable and linens soft and upscale. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Very cool and unique house

There are many positives about this place, including the location, the AMAZING pool, the layout, the fact that you can bring dogs, the history of the building, and the pool table. Due to CV19, my family of 4 rented the whole place (main house + 3 studios out) so we had tons of room which was great. The check in process wasn't the smoothest I had experienced, and there weren't instructions for checkout. But given the positives, we would rent again.

Paradise!!!

This is our second trip back to this spectacular house and it wont be the last. It accommodated our entire family this year, including young children. All four bedrooms were full and yet, we still had so much room. The house is located in walking distance to the beach, the Fourth of July Crab Fest, and downtown. My mother doesn't get around to good, so thankfully we were able to rent a golf cart from the property manager by just making a call. The owner also has contact numbers listed, which worked out in our favor, we called and they responded!!! Very gracious staff, Tammy, Kevin, and Mr. Charlie. Thanks again for making our stay so pleasant, looking forward to next year.

Exceeded our expectations

This is a wonderful place to stay that makes you feel right at home. A relaxing getaway that our family truly needed. We could have stayed at the property without leaving and would have been completely satisfied. When we did venture out, Old Town was right there and had charmiing restaurants and retail shops to explore. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we are already discussing a late summer or early fall return. The management was very courteous and helpful.

Had everything we needed!

The home exceeded all our expectations. The open floor plan allowed our family with more than enough room to accommodate everyone comfortably. It was definitely an oasis setting with indoor/outdoor space and the pool was awesome. We were able to walk or ride the golf cart to everywhere we needed to go. The home was located at the end of the first block and had plenty of parking to accommodate all vehicles. The owner and mgmt company went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable and memorable. Thanks, Donna

Very unprofessional group to deal with

I've rented from VRBO over 10 times, and this was by far my most frustrating experience. Communication with the management group was poor from the get go. We stayed for two nights and the group required a very expensive security deposit. They won't refund, or give you any details, on your deposit for 30 days after checkout. After 30 days the group stopped responding to my phone calls and never communicated again about the deposit. I ended up having to file a dispute with my credit card to get the deposit back.

A wonderful setting!

My family rented this home for a family reunion and loved it. The home is spacious, the pool is awesome and the kitchen is great. There was enough space for us all to be together and also have our privacy. The house was so well thought out and a great way to spend a long weekend. It is also very close to the beach!
