Belle Fontaine Beach showcases the natural beauty of the Mississippi Gulf Coast like no other place can. It's a beach front community with 3 miles of private white-sand beaches on the Mississippi Sound.

Lovely Home on the Gulf

An excellent place to experience all sorts of things the Gulf Coast has to offer. Being located on a sort of peninsula provided privacy and an awesome beach experience just steps from the back door. Yet we were still close enough to Biloxi, Mobile or even New Orleans to experience those amazing cities over the course of a week. Would absolutely recommend this house to a friend!

Great Family Place

This house was perfect for our annual family get away. All the bedrooms were on the 1st floor — divided by the kitchen and living space. The younger family could walk/play on the beach while my husband and I sat on the porch. Loved the town on Ocean Springs — small town feel with just the right amount of retail and restaurants.

Great Space

We really liked the layout because there was so much room to spread out. There is even a spot to work if one were so inclined. The kitchen is in the small side, but the layout allows for plenty of workspace. We all enjoyed sitting outback to enjoy the view everyday. The location is quiet and peaceful. We all felt it was a great long weekend place to escape to.

We had a great time on my Birthday trip. The house was very nice. The bath towels could have been better and we could have used another boiler in the kitchen, otherwise everything was great. Had a great time fishing, walking the beach, and enjoying sunrise, sunset and fires on the beach.

Steak judging weekend

Four couples stayed this weekend and we cooked hamburgers on the grill one day and just enjoyed sitting on the deck and the view. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom and it was nice having the living space in the center but quiet in the bedroom if you went to bed early or slept in. Will stay here again. Has everything you would need.

We had to empty refrigerator that had alot of open containers from previous renters. There were two cabinets full of open food from previous renters. We had to clean an antique cabinet that was filthy and line with paper towels so we could use for our food storage. Deck was covered in black sticky stuff where stuff had been spilled and tracked over entire deck. Furnishings were a bunch of old antiques. Sheets and towels not of good quality. Bath towels were like drying off with a sheet of rubber. Kitchen pots and pans coated with cooked on grease and not in good condition. The whole kitchen was unorganized. This bouse did not meet the VRBO standards of other houses we have stayed.

Away from it All

The perfect place to recharge! The scenery wax beautiful… the waves, the wildlife, the private beach. A nice addition from the last time I visited was the fire pit on the shore. It doesn’t get much more relaxing than a chilly evening, a roaring fire, and lapping waves. Looking forward to next time!

About the host

Hosted by Irene Gillespie

Host profile image
My name is Clay Gillespie. My wife Irene and I have been very happily married for 30 years. We have 23-year-old triplets and a 22-year-old.

Why they chose this property

We own both Seagrass Beach Cottage as well as the Sandhill Beachhouse just next door. I immediately fell in love with both of these properties, their charm and character, not to mention the serenity of their own private beach right on the Gulf of Mexico. Our favorite part of Seagrass is the oversized covered back porch, where we can sit all day, taking in the breathtaking views and sounds of the ocean.

Ultimately, Irene and I plan to retire here, but in the meantime, we are pleased to share our home as a vacation rental property.

What makes this property unique

The most desirable benefit of the Seagrass Beach Cottage is most definitely the private, natural white sand BEACH! The sounds and views of the Gulf are absolutely spectacular, whether taking them in from the oversized back porch or from your beach chair right on the water.
