Fabulous place
5/5 This cottage and location were prefect. Communication and hospitality of the hosts was above and beyond. Quiet. Clean. Lovely view. Close to all the great places in Ocean Springs yet you feel like you’ve discovered a hidden gem. Will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful cottage!!!
5/5 I can't imagine there being a better place to stay in Ocean Springs. The cottage is adorable, well appointed, close to the water, set in the woods among oak trees that are hundreds of years old. The property has been in the owners' family for 100 years. The owners live next door, and are the perfect hosts: always available if you need them, helpful and informative, but not at all intrusive. Friendly as can be - you'll want to stay connected with them after you leave. I'll never stay anywhere else if I have reason to go to Ocean Springs again.

Artist's Gulf retreat
5/5 The property is immaculate - clean, well-stocked, prime location. The artwork by local artists including Walter Anderson is a delightful extra. Much of the furniture is original and hand made. The location on Biloxi Bay near the Gulf made it like a homecoming for us former Tampa residents. Bird watching is excellent. Kudos to Donald and his team for keeping up such an endearing short term rental. We will be back. Thank you!

Weekend getaway
5/5 I recently stayed here for a weekend, and it was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. The cottage had a cozy charm with all the modern comforts you could ask for. The surroundings were peaceful, offering the perfect atmosphere to unwind and relax.
One highlight was the homemade banana nut muffins waiting for us on arrival—absolutely delicious! They were the perfect treat with coffee.
Overall, this cottage is a fantastic option for anyone looking for a quiet retreat. I highly recommend it for anyone in need of a peaceful getaway.
