About this property

Welcome to The Oyster Shack! The Coast's cutest coastal cottage!

This perfect little getaway is just a short walking distance from the beach and a few minutes drive from everything the Gulf Coast has to offer! The cottage was renovated in 2018 with no expenses spared. The interior of the home expresses those eclectic qualities expected from a renovated antique cottage such as beadboard ceilings, heart pine floors, cypress cabinets, and stained glass windows. The home features two small bedrooms containing queen beds, one bathroom, a living area (w/pull out couch), high end kitchen, and delightful porches. The home is preferably placed in West Gulfport, south of the "tracks" as we locals say. This lends easy access both east and west along Highway 90.

The Mississippi Gulf Coast is a locale rich with fascinating history that has become a melting pot of culinary expression and regional customs. The intent of The Oyster Shack is to share the many joys of the Coast that my family holds dear with those that wish to experience the "Coasty" way of life.

NOTE: This property features a Ring Doorbell device located beside the front door. The camera actively records video and sound when motion is detected by the device or when the video doorbell button is pressed.

NOTE: In an effort to maintain the yard to the highest quality groundskeeping takes place weekly at the discretion of the landscape contractor.

This was one of the best experiences I have had with a vacation rental. The cottage was clean and well stocked, in a nice neighborhood and not far from the beach. Communication with the owner was great. We enjoyed the seating area outside and the off street parking.

Will definitely stay again! This was the perfect location and perfect house for me and my husband. I walked to the beach every morning for a 3-mile walk and it was the best way to start each day. The house was clean and tidy and so welcoming. We’ll definitely stay again!I’m glad there were 2 beds. My husband is 6’5” so we didn’t fit very well in a queen bed. But a whole bed to myself for a few nights was kind of awesome. Haha
