Great location, just a short bike ride to downtown Ocean Springs. The house has everything you need, most importantly, coffee, which we forgot. Hassle free and would not hesitate to book in the future. A+!!

We had a wonderful time in Ocean Springs and was a perfect location to stay!
The house was perfect and very clean, and we felt at home here. The only thing that would have made it better is if there had been an iron and hairdryer! However the owners, offered to get an iron for us. They were extremely helpful and very nice! We would definitely stay here again!

This little house was a perfect place for our young family to have a getaway to the ocean! It was super clean, well maintained and had absolutely everything we needed including extra beach towels and a little umbrella. The owners were very helpful and Teena even brought over some extra toys for the kids when it was too rainy to go to the beach. We could walk to Front Beach in 20 minutes and drive to the park and splash pad at Fort Maurepas park in under 5 minutes. The Mississippi aquarium 30 minutes away was a perfect excursion and we had the best time at Turtle Crossing!

My husband, son, and I had such a lovely stay! My husband was recently stationed in Pascagoula for a short time and this was a great home away from home. The owners were super attentive and incredibly welcoming. The kitchen was perfect for making home cooked meals and I was even able to do some baking! Children's Park, the beachfront, and downtown are well within walking distance and made for some great entertainment for our kiddo. Not to mention all the great little toys provided at the house for some in home entertainment. Couldn't recommend it enough.

Fantastic vacation! Great owners & perfect spot!
Excellent place to stay in Ocean Springs! Teena & Ken are right next door if you need anything (which you won't) and are wonderful people. They thought of everything and the house is immaculate. All you need to bring is your toothbrush and clothes. Like the other reviewers said the house is well stocked with everything. You are close to everything and can walk to all the great restaurants in the downtwon area. I found my Ocean Springs vacation home and won't even consider staying anywhere else. Thanks again Teena and Ken for a wonderful mini-vacation!

A touch of southern charm
We enjoyed our week at the Turtle Crossing. Everywhere we went we experienced true southern hospitality.
The house was spotless with plenty of room. Everything you needed was provided. A nice touch was the small coffee bar.
The house was located a short walk to shopping, restaurants and the man made beach. It was close to Biloxi and Gulfport for sightseeing trips. New Orleans was also within reach for a day trip.
The owners, Kenny and Teena were very friendly and helpful.
The only detriment was that the internet was occasionally intermittent, probably the fault of the local provider.
We would definitely stay here again next time we’re in the area.

Turtle Crossing HEAVEN! Shhhhh.... Keep it a secret
By far exceeded our needs and expectations! The place, the location, the atmosphere even the weather were great! This place is more than meets the eye. Cozy, comfy, private and close to it all.
Teena and Kenneth are just great. They are so nice and helpful. The house had it all. Every detail and need was met.
We were lucky and got fresh shrimp from the boat at the harbor! Just caught. The billfish classic was happening, the casinos, the downtown OS area and the beach. I could go on for days. I give this place a 6 out of 5!
Book! you will not regret it! We will return for sure.

This location was ideal for our group of three adult friends. It’s within walking distance to downtown Ocean Springs and to the beach. Everything was clean and the we entire experience was excellent. Communication was prompt and helpful. .
Words are not enough to express the kindness and quality of the home we stayed in. Everything about the stay was awesome. Very quiet neighborhood.
The stay felt like home. Thanks to the owners.
Would stay again for sure!!!
