We had a little family gathering from Kansas, Arkansas, and northeastern Mississippi. Day one we visited the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies, and saw dolphins, sea lions, tropical birds, manta rays, snakes, and alligators, and went on the Dolphin Cruise. Day two we spent at the beach and went to the Outlet Malls. We had wanted to go to Ship Island and visit Fort Massachusetts, but we were disappointed to find the island closed for repairs that week. The property was very serviceable, and fit in well with the title of the property, Birds and Blooms. I would describe the property as leaning more to the"natural" vibe than the "well groomed," as the grass hadn't been freshly mowed. That didn't cause me a problem. They didn't have a grill available as we had expected, but the renters before us had damaged it so I understand. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
