We absolutely loved our stay and look forward to going back. Very comfortable. Kitchen well stocked. Close to the beach and old town shops. But also far enough away from the train and the bars so very quiet. I’ve stayed in bay St. Louis frequently and this is definitely my new favorite.
Being a retired couple we welcomed the quiet and spacious room…and the luggage cart! Perfect location and distance from beach and also the food and drink establishments by the docks. Pet friendly also.
The cottage was cute, clean, and very comfortable. The amenities were everything needed for a stay. The cottage was close to friends locations and Main Street and restaurants. It was a very pleasant stay. We would definitely consider renting again. Great Place!
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.
What an amazing little cottage! We were there that weekend to celebrate my Aunts Wedding and Mardi Gras. Bay St. Louis has grown so much in the last 10 years, good and bad. It’s such a cute weekend-getaway town, with lots of adorable shops and amazing food. Sycamore House and Mockingbird Cafe will always be my go-to when visiting. This cottage is off the “main path” so you aren’t dealing with the main st. traffic, but still only blocks away from the fun! The cottage was much larger than I anticipated, full living room, kitchen and dining area. Lots of closet space as well as a great built in vanity area. Screened in porch was great and a must with gnats and mosquitos. This is a shared property. Owners lives in the front of the property, with the cottage in the behind. Parking is available, there is a wagon to help with unloading goods as the walkway is gravel. The Hosts were very friendly, welcoming and very accommodating. They left some towels out for our golf cart one morning because of the morning dew on the seats. Very thoughtful. Thanks for such a great stay! It was fun to catch up after all these years and to see the family and friends that still live there
Our stay was very enjoyable. The location to shopping, beach, casinos and entertainment is excellent. The cottage was well equipped, quiet and comfortable.
