About this property

Spacious 3 Br Beach House, Only 1 1/2 Blocks From The Beach!

It's the location!! Adorable 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom house just one and a half blocks from the beach and Washington St. fishing pier. The best location in Bay St. Louis, with the beach in your view at the foot of the street, and walking distance to Old Town, beachfront, and Depot District shops, bars and restaurants.
This spacious and sunny fully-furnished house has a living room (with comfortable queen size sofa bed), a dining room with a long six-seat dining table, an enormous fully-equipped kitchen with new appliances, a sun room for your morning coffee with a table and four chairs, two large carpeted bedrooms with mahogany queen-size beds, chest of drawers and night tables, and a small bedroom with a double-size futon. There is also a pleasant front porch with wicker sofa, chairs and table, and a large fenced back yard with a patio, covered dinette set with umbrella, and barbecue station. This lovely historic house has intricate plaster molded ceilings and architectural details, ceiling fans in every room, central air and heat, and a newly-remodeled bathroom with a large bathtub. There is also a separate laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer for your use, parking for two to three cars in the driveway, high-speed internet and wifi, and cable television in most of the rooms. Convenient transportation all over town by the free Bay St. Louis trolley that comes by the house every fifteen minutes or so. You can also rent a golf cart to motor around town and along the beach.

Last minute vacation

We decided last minute to take a long weekend trip to the beach. This is the first time not having an available pet sitter, so I found this place that allowed pets. We loved it, the kids loved it, and our dogs loved it! Karen was very communicative and helpful with everything. I particularly loved the quiet neighborhood and location between Biloxi and New Orleans because we were able to do day trips to both.

Comfortable house. Great location.

Can't beat being a block and a half from the beach, which we had to ourselves most days. The house was comfortable and the front porch and back yard added to the experience. Karen was a great communicator and very helpful with any questions we had during our stay. Thank you for a great spring break!

Location, location, location!

This is a very comfortable and attractive home just 1.5 blocks from a fabulous beach. Wonderful neighborhood and street. Had lots of space for visiting with the whole family, including 5 grands. Close to everything in the cute downtown Bay St. Louis. We really enjoyed being able to spend our summer here!

Cute home close to beach and downtown shops

Karen’s place is full of charm and comfort. It is a walk or short ride to shops and restaurants. You can see the water from the 2 blocks it is to the beach. Karen is responsive and easy to work with regarding your stay and details.

The home is a couple blocks from Bay St Louis Beach. A quick Uber ride (under $8) to Old Town for bar/restaurants. Another quick ride 11 min to Hollywood Casino. SlingTV and all the amenities you will need for a comfortable stay. Helps to have a great host as well. We will definitely be back for another visit!

Blue Crab Cottage

A surprisingly large space with a fenced yard in a nice residential neighborhood. Off street parking for 2 cars. Only a short walk to the beach and a short drive to the main drag with restaurants and shops. Really a very nice space! Karen was friendly and accommodating with suggestions and information about the area. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Karen!

Cutest little house in BSL!

We had a family of 8 that stayed here for the weekend. 1-Senior, 3-50+ year old's, 1-19 year old, and 3- 8 year olds. The house is in a great location and probably one of the best in Bay St Louis. The layout is great as are the laundry facilities. The kitchen is huge! The front porch is great! We hope to rent again!

Boho Beachy Cottage

We booked this cottage for a birthday weekend for our 99 year old friend. This cozy cottage has everything you will need: space, comfortable beds, nice kitchen and the most relaxing front porch! We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. This place has a lot of character and charm…… think Nostalgic Bay St. Louis when you were a kid…. We ate at the Thorny Oyster, which has never disappointed us and spent the next day in Ocean Springs. I don’t think you will find a better VRBO host, Karen is a doll, responsive and very informative of the area. I will definitely consider this cottage in the future and recommend to friends.

A month stay to escape the cold!

We enjoyed our second extended stay in the area. This was the first time at this home! Karen was very easy to work with. We got in to town earlier than expected, and she cleaned guests from the previous night to allow us to check in a few hours early! The home is larger than it appears, beds and decor were very nice! Fun listening to the owls in the neighborhood! Sitting on the front porch in 60 degree+ temps was great! We enjoyed visiting with Karen, and learned so much about the area! Great stay!

It feels like home!

It’s a great location, just a nice walk to the glorious beach (almost no traffic, quiet!) The front porch with the casual chairs invites visits, cocktails or tea and writing in my journal, Love the layout of three nice sized bedrooms, a great little kitchen. Love the kitchen table overlooking the BIG backyard and the comfortable living room AND dining room. It’s just the kind of vacation cottage I wish I owned and lived in all of the time. Clean, comfortable and very nice. I’ll be back as often as I can...and it’s out of the way but close to all the incredible Bay has to offer!

This is the first time we have ever rented a property for a short term rental and it was wonderful.

My husband is Captain Longbeard III for 2023. We needed a place to stay near all the action for Pirate Days in the Bay. We were lucky to find this quaint cottage. Just what we were looking for. The owner was easy to work with and very accommodating. I recommend this property to anyone who would like a place near the beach and all the action of old Bay St. Louis. The home can sleep at least 6 people. Large kitchen and bathroom. All the comforts of home. It's even nicer than expected and very clean.

Disappointed

Musty smelling, majority of decorations in closet, dirty furniture and carpet, hair in the bathtub, shoddy paint job and patch work not covered, some faux wood floor tile not attached to floor--kept catching with foot, building materials left in front yard, porch, fireplace insert. Location was good. Appliances in good shape, bed comfortable with plenty of pillow choices. Lots of towels.

Great communication, bad hurricane

Sadly, we had to mutually agree to skip the rental at the last minute due to hurricane Zeta. Karen had wonderful communication and kept us up to date before and after the storm. We were able to later see the property and it is very nice. Karen is just finishing some improvements. The location is amazing - easy walking distance to the beach and downtown, where we did experience the great beach bars. The city appeared to be getting back on its feet quickly - we're hoping to be back soon to see both the city and the house as they are meant to be seen :-)
