Very cute house! Renovated and kept up very well, not walkable to the main restaurants and shopping downtown but perfect with a golf cart!!!! Stocked well with towels and other amenities. Check in was easy and property manager checked in with us to see how our stay was going. Would rent again.

Would definitely choose this property again

The house was perfect for us. It was immaculate and the beds were some of the most comfortable I have ever encountered in a short term rental. The open kitchen/living room area were very comfortable. The decor was pleasant without being over the top. The property is close to downtown Bay St Louis and an easy drive to Pass Christian. I would definitely choose this property again next time I am in the area.

Short week-end get away

Clean, beautiful, and quite!! Although it was almost 90 degrees, sat on the shaded front porch and it was wonderful! Harold made the check in very easy and provided a lot of extra information regarding the area. He was a joy to work with. Loved It!!! We will return!!

Bay St. Louis

We loved our stay in this sparkling clean cottage. It had everything we needed. Our only problem was the television. We were not able to get any channels to “work” and there were no instructions.

Week stay in BSL

We were escaping our construction zone repairs from hurricane Ian. This place was perfect for some down time. House was clean, comfortable beds, nice appliances and a well stocked set up. Perfect for a couple or a small family. Pet friendly too.

Bay St Louis Cottage

This property was newly renovated and in perfect condition. It was equipped with all the essential kitchen utensils and cookware. We really enjoyed the front porch and fenced backyard. It was conveniently located - a 3 minute drive to restaurants and beaches. We will definitely stay here again !!!
