The Cottage made our visit to Pass Christian extraordinary. It was lain out exactly as the pictures that are posted on VRBO, clean and immaculate inside, and so close to the beach. We will be coming again to stay at the Cottage!

Friendly meetup

This was a short meet-up with a friend from Texas. Pass Christian was a convenient mid-way meeting point. February is a really nice, relaxed time to be there. We loved the well-appointed kitchen, the comfortable open plan of the kitchen/living room area, and the privacy of the two bedrooms. A perfect place for hanging out, and then walking along the beach or Scenic Drive.

Lovely getaway!

Book this cottage and get away from at all! Such a quaint lovely place. You feel like you’re living your Pinterest dreams in this cottage! Caroline has thought of everything from coozies and coffee to detergent pods and shampoo! Such a great hostess with great communication skills and obviously a very considerate, accommodating property manger! Can’t wait to go back and stay longer!
