This is a beautiful house to stay in, with a equally beautiful view. The house is well stocked as well. Each room is so spacious with an adjoining bathroom. We could not have been happier with this home.
The property was wonderful, exactly as advertised. Plenty of room, the outdoor space was our favorite part. The house was stocked with everything we could need and might’ve forgotten during our trip.
For our family, this was the PERFECT location. Adults and children spent countless hours on the beach, which is literally just a few hundred few from the bottom of the steps. Having so many bathrooms was a very nice amenity as well.Walmart deliveries saved us many trips to town. The breezes were perfect for flying kites as well. Highly recommend going to Ship Island for a day!
We had a party of 13 and it was perfect!! The view was amazing and relaxing. Loved the private beach and the back deck area. Can't wait to stay there again!
The house was very comfortable and accomplished everything we looked for all (7) guest. Lots of room for everyone. The large wrap around deck and private beach area with firepit. The host answered all of our questions quickly and was flexible to meet our schedule.
Our stay at this beach property was perfect! Each couple had their own very large bedroom suite with private bathrooms, everything was clean and nicely decorated with beach decor—adorable room for kids with three twin beds and their own bathroom! We loved being right on the sand with beach access and five great chairs by the fire pit (needs some love). Quiet area was so nice and what a lovely drive in a great neighborhood. The host was quick to respond and we just checked in and out with the keypad code. So east! Thumbs way up!
This house is beautiful and clean! It has everything you need to prepare a meal! You can get great views from the balcony, the porch, and the huge windows! My family and I got to see dolphins on our first two days! I would highly recommend this home for your vacation!
The property fit our needs & expectations to a T. We were 10 minutes from the wedding venue that we came to MS to attend. We enjoyed the beach access, the views, the wild life(very different from Iowa wildlife) & the relaxing atmosphere. Our 4 grandchildren loved the house & beach. Very glad that the air conditioning worked so well.Thank you from All of Us, The Riediger Family from Iowa.
We enjoyed our visit. Everything was simply perfect. We had a beautiful view of the gulf and nice walks along the shore. The house was just as stated in the description, though the pictures don't quite do it justice. Thank you for sharing your lovely beach house with us!
Every thing was great, I wouldn’t change a thing. Everything we needed was there. Temperature of a/c was great we never touched the thermostat, the linens beautiful and comfortable, I would definitely recommend staying here to others. Thank you Irene and Clay
This was a perfect place for a friend reunion. Beautiful balcony view to have your morning coffee. Lots of beach fires. House was perfectly supplied for 4 different cooks. Just a great trip.
Beautiful home in a peaceful setting. Plenty of room to take walks out back on the beach or the road out front. About a 20-25 minute drive to get to grocery stores, restaurants, breweries, etc. We were there in February so the weather was hit and miss but the house is designed for all seasons. LOVED the wrap around porch!
This property was amazing! We had 15 family members and we were all extremely comfortable and just as happy with our stay. With 7 adults and 8 kiddos 3 to 11y/o, this speaks volumes. The house is beautiful and well supplied. Although there were no shells, the "Private" beach as well as the ocean were perfect! A great place to "get away"! From the start hosts were great communicators. Highly Recommend!
This beach home was a dream to rent. Not only was the home beautifully decorated and designed, it had every comfort needed for our family. I spent so much time enjoying the thoughtful little design choices the owners have made in each room. From repurposed and salvaged wood to beautiful bedroom furniture, this was a dream. Everything felt personal. We loved how close the beach is- the privacy is unparalleled. We enjoyed evening bonfires, kite flying, and sea glass hunting on the beach. This trip will forever hold a special place in my heart.
It was a beautiful home and the private beach was amazing! Many extras were provided in the kitchen. We would definitely stay there again!

About the host

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.
