Hi there! We have officially hit the one-year mark as VRBO hosts and continue to enjoy the excitement that hosting brings! Since purchasing this Creola Beach Cottage (already a popular rental) in February 2024, we have met so many guests either in person or through messaging. We have enjoyed listening to their stories and sharing our own, especially as related to the property's history and how we came to acquire it. We live locally and encourage you to reach out with any questions or concerns. We will do our best to make sure your stay with us is everything you hope it to be. Thanks for being a part of our "Year 2" adventure!
Cheers,
Kathy & Mike

Why they chose this property

We live close by and enjoy the quiet, family-friendly, laid-back nature of Waveland. We also have a personal story about the property that we are happy to share! :-)

What makes this property unique

A ground-level house this close to the beach is a rarity! It was rebuilt fairly quickly following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina helping to jump-start the revitalization of the area.

We are also pet friendly (Pet Contract and pet fees are required).
