The house was nice and clean with comfortable bedrooms, it had some areas in need of repair but it is to be expected with an older home. The charm and character was very nice and the outdoor area was well equipped.

The property was perfect for our needs. Everyone slept comfortably on the foam mattresses. The location was close to everything we wanted to do, including the beach, Biloxi, and New Orleans. Our hosts were extremely responsive and easy to deal with. It would have been nice to have usable drawers in the bedroom with the laundry machine or at least a much larger number of hangers.

Sandpiper Cottage was an excellent place to stay! It was a cute and comfortable house to stay in! We loved the styling and the feel of the house.
