This was a wonderful home! We had a blast and loved everything about the property from the inside to the outside! The pool was lovely for small kids. Everything here made it feel like home. The beach was right down the road and you could easily see it from the windows too. We can’t wait to come and back stay longer next time!!

THIS IS AN AMAZING PROPERTY The property is covered in beautiful live oaks! It is directly across from beach access. Incredible views of the ocean from both porches and the living areas! The neighborhood is nice and peaceful and the neighbors are super friendly. There is a nice fenced in yard for your fur babies and a small soaking pool for after those hot days. The Home was clean and well stocked and had everything needed. We had a wonderful time and will definitely consider booking again. It is very convenient to the casinos and only a littke over an hour to New Orleans. The hosts were readily avail but were not needed as everything was flawless from booking to checkout! Thanks for a great stay!

The home was very clean, which is my top priority when renting a VRBO! The host was available and answered my questions in a timely manner. Next time, we hope to stay in warmer weather to use the pool.

My family of 6 had a great time staying here. Great location. Close to just about everything and had all amenities we could ask for. This is the first home we’ve stayed in that actually included a starter pack of things you’d actually need, paper towels, toilet paper and all. Loved that they had enough towels for anything we did. Rooms were super clean and the house is just down right beautiful. While the weather didn’t agree with us this time I wouldn’t mind staying here again. Host was very quick with replies and information. Thanks Kim!

Great house & location for us. Just far enough away in a more layed back location from all of the congestion & traffic around Gulfport & Biloxi. The host for this property was great. They went out of their way to make us comfortable as possible. Believe me, we made them work for it. The neighbors we talked to were great. They didn't mind having us there at all, unlike the property we rented last year. The kids loved the pool and the beach about 1 1/2 blocks away was clean and in great condition. Would I rent this property again? Absolutely yes!

Perfect stay on the gulf coast

This is our new go-to house on the gulf coast. We go to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi frequently for quick trips from New Orleans. As an owner of vacation rental properties, we understand the challenges of maintaining rental property, but let me tell you the owners of this property do a fantastic job. The house was spotless, very well appointed and designed perfectly for a family. The details of this property make it extra special - from the architectural and design details to the availability of basic comforts, entertainment options (all streaming services, books, games, water toys, etc). The pool is a perfect size for lounging and the yard is huge. The owners are close if there are any needs and communicate very well with the renters. The check-in/out process could not be easier. This truly felt like a home away from home!
