We very much enjoyed our brief stay at Joy's cottage. It was cozy, comfortable and just a short walk from the beach and the Old Town historic district. A perfect weekend getaway.

Excellent choice

Would recommend this cottage. Cozy and clean with a nice garden area to enjoy as well as a screened in back porch for morning coffee. We loved the location. It was quiet, and felt safe and secure. Loved being able to walk 3/4 of a mile to the old town section of Bay St Louis to the shops, bars, and restaurants. Beach and pier were 1/4 away. Joy our host was friendly and helped with recommendations. Will definitely stay here again.

Quaint Peaceful Welcoming Cottage

Celebrating 30 years of marriage calls for a comfort, inviting space. We felt embraced by the cottage. The walkable distance to quaint stores, eateries and the beach gave us the easy going pace we needed. Thank you Joy

Fell in love

With Bay St Louis Old Town! Compass Rose is a short walk through beautiful peaceful oak lined streets to the beach and restaurants. Quiet and completely equipped for a short or longer stay, the cottage is comfortable and spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed, great shower and bath area. Terrific host and caretaker responded immediately when needed (smoke alarm battery). Highly recommended!

Restful Respite

The cottage is cute & well appointed with everything you’d possibly need; the location is ideal….close enough to all the fun and excitement of Beach Blvd but quiet & restful and very comfortable. I can’t wait to go back.
