About this property

Come Home to This Shabby Chic Beauty in the Heart of the Gulf Coast

Le Shabby Chateau Vacation Home Rental is located in the heart of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

This beautiful, shabby chic beach home is located in Gulfport, MS just steps from the beach (5 minute walk), 10 minutes from Biloxi, and one hour from New Orleans. It's also just minutes to the Marine Institute, booming Downtown District, Space Center, Historical Attractions, Casinos, and soooooo much more.

Guests can easily walk to the beach and enjoy the fishing pier or wave runner and umbrella rentals. Jones Park is 1/2 block away and features a walking trail and splash pad for the kids. If you're a fitness junkie, then you're in luck! Free gym access is 1/2 block away as well.

Wonderful, delightful restaurants featuring Seafood, Italian, Mexican, Cajun, Coastal, Steak and other sumptuous cuisine is literally less than 5 minutes away from Le Shabby Chateau. You can experience the vitality of the newly-renovated, booming downtown district in Gulfport or mosey along the beach toward Long Beach and Pass Christian and enjoy a beach view while dining.

If you enjoy gaming, Le Shabby Chateau is 3 blocks from Island View Casino and within 20 minutes of 10 other casinos!

Attractions are plentiful and you'll definitely want to 'swim with the dolphins' while visiting the Marine Institute. Or perhaps you'd like to feed an alligator on one of the delightful swamp tours.

Regardless of what activities and sights you choose while visiting the Mississippi Gulf Coast, you'll want to come back to Le Shabby Chateau again and again. She's filled with love, serenity and charm and She's more than happy to share it with your family and friends.

Le Shabby Chateau sleeps 6 (possibly 8) and has 3 bedrooms, two baths, living, dining, built-in front porch, large patio/carport, back porch/breakfast area.

The adorable back yard cottage (Le Petit Chateau - see listing here: vrbo 653151 ) sleeps one to two persons and has a full bed, full bath, sitting area, and kitchenette with a microwave, toaster oven, portable electric cook tops, small sink, and mini fridge. The yard is private, quiet, and features native palms and plants.

You do not have to rent the cottage with the main house. However, if you rent the 3 bedroom/2bath main house (Le Shabby Chateau) with the one bed/full bath cottage (Le Petit Chateau), rates will be discounted.

So what are you waiting for? C'mon on down and give us a visit!

Home Away From Home

From the moment we walked in the door, our entire family felt at home. Everything you'd possibly need was available...from cozy spaces large enough for us all, to smaller spaces to be alone that really felt like you were! The beach was so close and easily accessible which we loved but actually found ourselves just hanging out on the property a lot of the time. And that master bed y'all!!! Slept like a dream!! Will definitely book again! Miss Betsy is an amazing host!

Weekend girl’s trip

The home and property were so well kept, clean and very charming. There was plenty of outdoor space and seating to relax and enjoy your time. The beach is only a few blocks away, and several great restaurants within blocks. The check in/out and “things to know” process was so easy. And last, but not least, the story of Le Shabby Chateau, is so interesting.

Happy Thanksgiving

We came down to spend Thanksgiving with our son. The house was well stocked with a nice large table, plenty of pans and spices that came in handy. We really appreciated all the extras like the shampoo and conditioner, soaps and cleaning supplies. It was nice to walk to the beach and look for shells even though it was cold.

Great place!

This is our second time staying here. We love it. The owner is always helpful and kind. We have met the housekeepers and they have been friendly and helpful. The place is super clean and maintained. The neighborhood is quiet and we enjoy getting out and walking there. The beach and a park are within walking distance. Great place to stay!!

Perfect for families!

We had a great time here. The house is a bit different from what we normally stay in, but was perfect! It is just as described. We had a problem at check-in (not in any way the owners fault), and she was incredibly quick to resolve it! She went above and beyond to fix the issue (even though, again, it was in no way her fault)! She is very easy to communicate with, and super nice! The beds are comfy and it has plenty of space! The kitchen has most everything needed to cook a meal, and the dining room is spacious! Would definitely stay here again!

Girls Weekend

This house is EXACTLY as pictured. So charming and a beautiful place to stay. After the first night we all said to each other "and the beds are comfy too". Has just enough space for everyone to have privacy yet at the same time enough space to gather. A large living area, a dining table for 6, enclosed porch AND a patio outside. It rained every morning for us, but surprisingly was nice because it cooled the weather and we REALLY enjoyed leisure mornings with coffee outside. We pre planned meals (cooked at home and arrived with them ready for fridge). This worked out very well for us. This rental is a SHORT walk to the beach (at most 1/4 mile .. or 7-10 minutes). There is a coffee shop called Perks in Gulfport that is a less than a mile walk from the house as well. The owner of this property is wonderful to deal with. Absolutely the best. Highly. recommend this rental, you will not find anything to be displeased with.

About the host

Hosted by Betsy Modglin

Host profile image
Resident of Gulfport MS for over 5 years while living at Le Shabby Chateau. Love the Coast and everything about it so I decided I couldn't part completely with Le Shabby Chateau so decided to turn her into a vacation rental. I love to antique, junk, restore and repurpose so that fit in perfectly.

Why they chose this property

I bought Le Shabby Chateau in September 2006 after being recruited to the area as a marketing executive. She was a bit of a wreck having just weathered Hurricane Katrina less than a year earlier. Nonetheless, the charm and love within Her walls was obvious from the moment I walked inside. I restored Her and made her my year round home until 2011 when family illness brought me back to Southern Illinois. It wasn't until June 2013 that I decided to share Le Shabby Chateau with the world. See the full story on Her Facebook page, Le Shabby Chateau.

What makes this property unique

Close to the beach! Did I tell you she was within a couple of blocks of the beach?! Close to booming downtown Gulfport, restaurants, casinos, nightlife, area attractions, New Orleans, and Mobile.

The house is quaint, comfortable, and charming. The yard is quiet, private, and in a great neighborhood.
