About this property

Castaway's Sunset View Beach House - Available Cruising the Coast

'Sunset View' best describes this 3-bed, 3-bath vacation rental-our guests are treated to a front row seat to the spectacular one of a kind Gulf Coast sunsets. Here, spend your time relaxing on the community's 2.5-mile private beach, experiencing coastal adventures like kayaking, fishing, bird watching, shelling, beach walking and discovering Ocean Springs' quaint downtown artist's colony rich with culture and attractions such as the Walter Anderson Museum and Farmers & Art Market every Saturday. On a clear day, soak up the views of Horn Island as you grill out while listening to the waves crash on the wraparound deck. Walk right down the stairs and step into the powdery white sand. On a clear night you can see all the stars in the sky. Please contact us if you would like assistance customizing your visit to the desires of your party. We live on the street and can provide suggestions uniquely suited to your interests. We can connect you with charter captains who will pick you up on the beach and take you fishing and or to Horn Island for a day trip.

Castaway's Sunset View is newly listed. It is the sister property of highly rated Castaway Key originally listed in 2016 with over 125 reviews and a 4.9/5 rating.

Place was fantastic as far as location in the house
The house and the beach were great. The only exception would be. There are a lot of things within the house that need a little attention and maintenance nothing major kitchen door would not latch Master bath shower, even though no tub there is a tub spout. It will not seal off so that The showers pressure will maintain. Had to keep the deadwood locked. A lot of exterior lighting in all the games for the kids were disarray missing pieces and mixed up A lot of broken or damaged things to use on the beach, including cheers should be replaced or thrown away

Great location and property -BUT
After our visit last year, we intended to return annually but the house and furnishings are not being maintained and is not being cleaned properly. Glass surfaces had smears and fingerprints, chair arms and table top were sticky. Kitchen floor is damaged and splitting apart and the toaster had not been cleaned - ever. It would take at least $50,000 to return this property to good condition. We will not be back. Ed

Our happy place
This is the second year we have stayed at this property. It is everything we want in a vacation experience. The location is amazing. We really enjoy being right on the beach and the sunset views are spectacular. We especially appreciate the screened in porch and the covered porch swing. We hope to make this a tradition and come back again next year.

PERFECT family vacation
Very clean, comfortable and spacious home. My husband, myself, our 7 year old and twin 14 year olds were in this home comfortably. It has everything you need for your stay. First time ever being able to sit and read an entire book listening to the waves! Would recommend for anyone! Dolphins right in front daily. Hermit crabs, pelicans, crabs were entertainment for the kids! Owner is the best communicator and very responsive. We drove over to Biloxi to eat at KingJacks 3 times during the week- it was a perfect compliment to this home!

Quiet getaway
If you're looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway, this is it. We enjoyed sitting outside on the swing while listening to the soft waves. The house is clean and the beds are comfortable. Unfortunately, the owners would not allow additional family from out of town to visit us briefly, so for that reason we will need to find a different place next time.

Spring Break 2024
This was our first trip to Mississippi and we had a great time. The location of this property was perfect end of the road and secluded. The house is dated and could us some fixing up in places especially the floors in the kitchen and living room. I am giving this a 4 star overall rating because of the house condition. But don't let that fool you I would definitely stay here again. We enjoyed riding bikes, kayaking, fishing, and the sunsets were amazing. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Excellent Beach House
Perfect beach-front house. Just what we were looking for. House is at the end of a narrow, two-mile road along the beach, so the only sounds we heard were waves from the Gulf. Beautiful sunsets over the water. Beach is visited by herons, egrets and pelicans. House is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Never figured out the TV options, but were able to use our own accounts for NetFlix and Max. Highly recommended if you want to be in a beautiful, natural setting.

Great Beach House
This is a beautiful property right on the Gulf of Mexico. We saw pelicans and dolphins in the back bay. Sandy beach, and nearby marsh to kayak in. Rooms have beautiful views. Lots of stairs, so it would be difficult for physically constrained guests. Very quiet neighborhood at the end of a narrow road - area was hit hard by Katrina so lots of new build construction. Ocean Springs is a great town with all amenities - less glitzy than Biloxi but more genuine. The drive into downtown Ocean Springs takes 17 minutes from the house. Clean house, lots of TV’s, decent kitchen. Would stay again.

Very Peaceful and Relaxing
The house is beautiful and the location is so peaceful! There is everything you need to relax and enjoy yourself. We loved watching the sunrise over the ocean from the porch while drinking coffee. We enjoyed the swing in the evening watching the sunset and pelicans. House is located at the end of a long, quiet and beautiful road. The beach is just steps from the house. We also had the pleasure a few times to watch a dolphin fishing! Highly recommend!

Perfect getaway with family and little's
My family will def. be returning to this wonderful home! We had 3 under 3 years old with us and it was very family friendly. They had beach toys and chairs for us. Fire pit and a grill to cook some steaks. The location was perfect and secluded. We were at the end of the road so one side of the beach was a dead end (great for wondering kids) and the other side, hardly no one on the beach. They had cleaning supplies, dish detergent and clothing detergent. Very clean. Screaned in porch was perfect again, to contain the littles. We had access to Disney plus and other streaming services when we needed to entertain inside. Truly the best time! Thank you again so much!!

Another wonderful week
We have stayed at this beach house on several occasions over the past few years. As always, Daisey addresses any and all questions promptly. The house is always clean and well stocked for cooking meals if you wish. I have learned the area pretty well and the fishing is always top notch. This trip we caught redfish, speckled trout, and flounder right in front of the house. We brought our son and his family with us this time and the grandkids spent hours on the beach and in the water taking advantage of the beach toys and kayaks. I'm sure I should spend more time rating the house, but the outdoor activities are the reason we keep coming back. WE WILL RETURN!!

Family Fun
We were very impressed with this property. The proximity to the beach was a definite plus. We enjoyed kayaking with the dolphins and watching the birds. We spent every morning and evening on the screened in porch. It gave the perfect view of the water and spectacular sunsets. My only con was the water was so warm, it felt like you were swimming in a hot tub, but I am not sure if that is the case most summers or if it is just because it has been an exceptionally hot one. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

It was great. Location was exactly as described. Beautiful backyard beach, very private road. There were 8 people in our group. Everyone loved the kayaking, chasing the crabs, fishing and the dolphins even swam close to us. The water was perfect depth for the 8 year old in our group. We will definitely want to go again.
