About this property

Castaway Key Beach House

Now with High Speed Internet

Belle Fontaine Beach is the perfect place to enjoy the private natural beauty of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. A beach front community on two miles of live oak lined winding road which follows a beautiful white sand beach on the Mississippi Sound. There is a plethora of wildlife from many species of fish and seabirds to the south and alligators and red foxes to the northern bayou. Get away from the condo crowd and enjoy the privacy of your private beach.

This newly built home features three bedrooms and two baths. The master has ocean views, king bed, and private bath with separate tub and shower with a double vanity. The other two bedrooms feature bayou views and share a bath. Both guest rooms have queen beds. All bedrooms have YouTube TV on Roku devices and 40" TV's. The living room has cathedral ceilings and an open floor plan. It features leather furniture with a sleeper sofa and a 60" TV with YouTube TV subscription on a Roku streaming device. Most streaming apps such a Netflix, Disney +, Hulu, HBO Max, Prime, and ESPN are also available on the Roku if you want to use your own account. We only provide a YouTube TV subscription, which has most of the local, sports, and other channels you are use to getting on cable. Bedrooms, living room, and kitchen have hardwood floors. The kitchen has stainless appliances, refrigerator/freezer, range oven, dishwasher, microwave, and all the pots, pans, charcoal BBQ, utensils, flatware, and dinnerware you need to cook family meals. We also have a full size washer and dryer. Our 600 sqft covered deck has a sitting area and chaise lounges and is steps away from your private beach. There is also a fire pit just before the beach. Kayaks and crab pots (to catch blue crabs) are also included in your rental.

We can arrange day/half day trips to Horn Island to fish or just enjoy the beach that inspired Walter Anderson. Pick up and Drop Off right on the beach in front of the house.

Concierge Service to custom fit your vacation.

Enjoy beautiful views of the Mississippi Sound, Horn Island, sea birds and dolphins while you listen to the waves hitting the beach. It is located west of the southernmost point which provides the best views for sunsets. Conveniently located 20 minutes from Historic Downtown Ocean Springs, 30 minutes from Biloxi and casinos($40ish Uber ride), 40 minutes from Gulfport Factory Outlets, 50 minutes from Mobile, and 90 minutes, from New Orleans. There is a convenience store and gas stations 5 minutes away, a dollar store 10 minutes away, and a Wal-Mart 15 minutes from the house. Known for its artistic community, Ocean Springs has over 100 restaurants and many boutique stores downtown. We would be happy to make recommendations for your stay. You can charter a fishing trip in Biloxi or enjoy wade fishing for speckled trout and redfish right in front of the house or search for flounder at night. Nearby Graveline Bayou has a free boat launch and has close access to fishing & eco tours even by kayak. It also has access to the Mississippi Sound and Horn Island if you bring a motor boat.

Family Beach Vacay
We are a family of 8 from Missouri. We spent a week at the beach and thoroughly enjoyed this property. We spent all of our time soaking up the beach, playing, swimming, fishing and catching crabs. The location was fabulous. We were also able to take in a little sightseeing and shopping.

Lovely property that makes you feel like you're at home. Lots of privacy, but very close to downtown amenities. The house has everything you need for a successful vacation plus extras. The host is very curtious, and she goes above and beyond. My family and I look forward to future stays at Castaway Key.

Coastal Mississippi Trip
We were able to stay at Daisy’s place and drive to the places we wanted to tour. Bellingraff Gardens, Bayou La Batre where part of the Forrest Gump movie was filmed, Orr and O’Keefe Museum in Biloxi, Walter Anderson Museum in Ocean Springs with shopping in Ocean Springs. The architecture of St. John’s Episcopal Church attributed to Louis Sullivan was also a treat. We could go back to our waterfront cottage

Quiet, Private Beach Home
Castaway Key is a lovely home right on the beach. There is no public access to the beach so it is quiet with just a few people using it. The house was tastefully decorated and the kitchen was well stocked with dinnerware, glassware and cookware (with the exception of sharp knives - I sharpened them without success.) all the appliances were newer and worked well. This was our fourth extended stay VRBO in Ocean Springs and was by far the best. One downside is it is located somewhat far from downtown OS and the other is the steps make it challenging for an elderly semi-disabled person.

Great time at castaway keys
It was an amazing week. Everything we wanted & more. From watching the pelicans, Blue Herrings & yes dolphins, all from the front porch or our lucky spot, the kitchen window. The kids, 14, 21 & 24 all enjoyed themselves. The amount of good places to eat was incredibly enjoyable. Everything we did was just a short drive away & after getting the lay of the land, usually a beautiful drive! We will be back!

Annual Christmas trip to beach
The property is very nice, I do suspect that a cleaning service is used. There were candy wrappers on the table and the front breezeway and door needed at least wiped down. The property is in a great location and is very peaceful. No complaints only a couple suggestions for improvement. Great stay!

Our family had a great week staying at this property. The location to the beach was perfect and just steps away. The deck with the beautiful views of the ocean was my favorite spot! Nearly every evening was spent on the beach and deck viewing the amazing sunsets!

Perfect family friendly place on the beach!
We brought our six kids on vacation and this house was perfect! Beach was quiet and not crowded. The house was perfect for families with kiddos. Kayaks, life jackets and toys for the kids! House was very clean and well stocked with kitchen items should you want to cook. Our first night the ac wasn’t working properly and Daisy had someone there super quick to fix it! Couldn’t be happier with our stay here, we only wished we would of booked longer!!

Perfect, quiet getaway
The house was beautiful with just a few steps to the private beach. The deck was perfect for relaxing and watching the dolphins in the morning come up so close to shore!! My son caught some fish with the poles provided. We loved all the beach toys provided. The cons (which aren’t even a big deal) the water is yucky brown. Some people know this, others may not. Also it washed up lots of different things, which is probably pretty common for most places: but during our stay, it washed up a piece of board with nails in it -right next to where my kids weee swimming, I’m assuming from the docks that are still left from the hurricane aftermath. (Obviously no fault of the owners) Also, My husband said the ceiling fans were dusty and under the beds needed cleaned- HOWEVER, the rest of the house was very clean. My one recommendation would be to keep the grassy area cleaned up and maybe widen the walk path a little. The grass was a little taller that I would have liked - which made me nervous thinking of gators hiding in there. The neighbor told me there had been some recent sightings of one on the beach; so always be aware, especially with kids. Otherwise the stay was perfect. Would definitely stay again!
