Just like Grandma’s House

We felt like we were at Grandma’s house, it was perfect for our stay we came from Texas to see my husband family and a few of them came and stayed with us! We had a family Dinner on Sunday and we had plenty of room for everyone! Plus side was Friday was my birthday and I got to go to the beach it was so close by!

Pictures and description deceiving

House is very old and has a musty smell.House has not been updated in years if not ever. Host was easy to communicate with but was not forthcoming about condition of the house. She did send a welcome letter a day before check-in explaining that the house’s foundation slopes causing the floors to have a slope as well.

Great old style Vacay spot!

If you loved staying at grandma's house, this is for you! Yes, it's old, but so unique and some great qualities. Super hot water with lots of water pressure, big private yard and plenty of outside covered sitting area. Easy parking for trucks and boats. Yes, I mean plural. It's also updated with new w/d, smart tv's everywhere, and plenty of sitting areas. AC worked great, host was quick to answer and was over accommodating a request. Family of 8 was never crowded. Top pick for us!

Beach house

We loved our stay, the house had plenty of room for all us. We loved that the house was close to everything but yet was secluded and quiet. The host were great to deal with on everything, if we plan a trip down there again this is where we would stay.

The house is in a safe quiet neighborhood that’s close to the beach, Walmart, and good restaurants. It was clean and had everything we needed. The kids enjoyed playing in the front and back yards. It’s 100 years old, so not perfect, but very comfortable and cozy. We had one small issue that was very promptly addressed. I recommend this house for large families.

Good stay

Pretty good lil house had plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed our stay there. Just need some touch up on some stuff an a new Grill. We didn't use it bc it was full of junk. Some of the TV's in bedrooms we couldn't watch bc everything wasn't there. For the most everything was good deal.

Perfect spot to hide away

We just wanted to hide away somewhere warm this Thanksgiving with our close family. And Birds and Blooms was perfect that! With the nice long yard the kids age 6-16 could play without worry and us adults could sit and visit outside. We used the beach toys on our multiple visits to the beach! And cooked a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen. If we ever want to hide away in Long Beach again this is the place we will hide away at!!

Cruising the Coast

I will start with check in: PM was slow to respond. House was very non-handicapped accessible. Bathrooms were old and out dated, main bathtub had a missing handle on the cold water. Both had child size toilets and not set up with an handicap accessories. Towels were old and worn. I use better towels to wash my cars! Though stated, there were no instructions on how to operate the TVs in the house and several of the remotes had dead batteries . We never figured out how to watch local TV to monitor the hurricane coming to the coast. The bedrooms were at best poor, The beds were old and worn out, Linens were also old and thin. Curtains were not enough to keep the lights from the businesses next door out at night. In one of the bedrooms the ceiling fan was missing one of the chains so it was fan with light on or no fan at all. The kitchen was only used to make coffee in the morning but everything seemed to work. There were burned out bulbs through out the house and switches everywhere, some that didn't seem to turn anything on or off. Front porch light was burned out. On the good side, there were no bugs but there was a big green lizard in the dining room on the window above the AC unit that had one of the grills missing. The main AC unit worked well. Kitchen was stocked with coffee supplies. Bottom line, the house was livable but not what was expected for the price charged. Would not stay there again.

MS Coast Family Getaway

We had a little family gathering from Kansas, Arkansas, and northeastern Mississippi. Day one we visited the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies, and saw dolphins, sea lions, tropical birds, manta rays, snakes, and alligators, and went on the Dolphin Cruise. Day two we spent at the beach and went to the Outlet Malls. We had wanted to go to Ship Island and visit Fort Massachusetts, but we were disappointed to find the island closed for repairs that week. The property was very serviceable, and fit in well with the title of the property, Birds and Blooms. I would describe the property as leaning more to the"natural" vibe than the "well groomed," as the grass hadn't been freshly mowed. That didn't cause me a problem. They didn't have a grill available as we had expected, but the renters before us had damaged it so I understand. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Cozy comfortable home

This home is exactly that. It feels like home. It is an older country style home with plenty of comfortable indoor couches, cozy beds, seemingly endless hot water and spacious yard for kids to play. The location is 5 minutes from the interstate, beaches and popular dining. There is also plenty of beach toys, chairs and 2 umbrellas you can use. The floor is uneven but that is the charm of an older home. The temperature is comfortable witha central AC and has a few window units to use if needed. I would gladly stay here again.

We had a great time. Loved the house.

Only problem we had, was could not locate remotes for the tv's, but had plenty to do, and the kids all have phones to watch videos on, so not a real problem. House is old, but very cute. Plenty of room for all our group. and for family in the area to hang out and visit with us. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your cute house.

Quality family time

I was surprised at the size of the house. The pictures don't do it justice. It was bigger than I expected. We came down to spend the weekend with my son while he is in tech school and the house was perfect for our time. We enjoyed a lot of time outside on the patio. There were movies and a few games to play. We added a few to the pile as well. If you are looking for a quiet, roomy place to spend quality time with the family, this is it! PS. I HIGHLY recommend the model train museum!!!
