About this property

Walk to the Beach and Downtown Restaurants, Bars, and Shops!

The Space:

The Benton Beachside is YOUR new home-away-from home. Sunny, comfortable and spacious, this home has everything your group is looking for during your stay including a new oven and fridge in the kitchen as well as a new grill and patio furniture. All beds in the 4 bedrooms are very comfortable.

The Neighborhood:

Located in quaint historic downtown Ocean Springs, The Benton Beachside is steps from the beach and Gulf of Mexico. A short 15-minute stroll through picturesque streets lined with mossy oak trees will take you to the heart of downtown where many restaurants, bars, and shops are located, among other things waiting to be discovered. (Don't miss the Farmer's Market at the Depot on the weekends!) For the more adventurous, located next to the house is the entrance to the 1.7-mile walking path across the Biloxi-Ocean Springs Bridge - ideal for anyone hoping to get in some exercise while on vacation or for catching a glimpse of the stunning sunrise or sunset over the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Or - enjoy a morning walk on the 1-mile boardwalk along the beach which starts at the Yacht Club and ends at the Harbor where you can buy fresh shrimp right off of the boat! On the other side of the bridge are casinos and all of the nightlife that Biloxi has to offer.

Spacious house great for family with kids

Our 6yo daughter lives the kids bedroom and the swing in the backyard. She was also a big fan of the hanging papasan chair in the den/TV room. The house was adorably decorated for the holidays and we enjoyed to local restaurant recommendations provided by the hosts and the complimentary snacks for our little one. Overall it was a great place.

Perfect beachside getaway

I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience at the Benton Beachside! We had the warmest welcome with treats and a Birthday surprise! Everything you need for visiting the beach and enjoying your stay from beach chairs, beach towels, games etc. are provided. The recommendations and very informative notebook was an excellent touch. It was just 3 of us staying and we had more than enough space, the Benton easily accommodates a larger group but was more reasonably priced than some smaller places. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will definitely be coming back!

Great family spot

Plenty of space for hanging together or separate, like when the kids just wanna watch YouTube Minecraft videos, and the parents wanna be close enough to keep an eye, but far enough to have a sane conversation. We all look forward to coming back.

Wonderful weekend getaway

My family from Mississippi and Alabama gathered together for a wonderful weekend in Ocean Springs. We loved the house and the location. The house is close to downtown and the beach. The thoughtful touches at the house (king cake, toiletries in the bathroom, binder and information about the area) were great and we hope to stay here again.

Perfection

We have stayed in many VRBO properties, but this one stood out far above the rest. The house was spotless, comfortable, charming, well stocked with anything you could need and located wonderfully. The hosts went above and beyond in every way. If you need an Oceans Springs get away, this is the house you want!! Thank you for the best stay!

We will keep coming back!

We stayed 4 days there this past weekend with 2 adults and 6 kids from 3 years to 16 years old and we had PLENTY of space. It never felt crowded. This was our second stay so we knew that we didn't have to bring beach supplies, games, play pen, highchair or outside toys. They are all already there for us to use. SO convenient! This home is also very conveniently located to downtown area and front beach. My kids loved the netflix and youtube TV. The fresh banana bread and flowers in the window seal topped it off!
