We had the best time in BSL at the Citrus House. It was perfect…very clean, roomy, decorated lovely, pet-friendly and great location!! Mary Ellen was very easy to work with…we will definitely stay here again to enjoy our Thanksgiving Holidays.
Great location and plenty of space for the whole family. The beds were very comfortable and house was very clean. The kitchen was well-stocked. We look forward to biding this properly again.
Myself and 7 friends rented the Citrus House as a birthday getaway. The house and location were absolutely perfect. I would definitely stay here again!
Great house! Perfect location, we walked to all the shops and restaurants. Pool was nicely landscaped and very refreshing after an afternoon walk!! We will definitely book again!
We had a great trip and enjoyed the Citrus House. The spaciousness and location of the house is perfect for us.
The location is close to everything but also quiet. Everything was spotless and had everything we needed for a great stay! Hope to see y'all again soon!

Kate & her family were easygoing & very respectful of our home. They took care of our home as if it was their own. We had great communication & Kate checked in when she had questions.
We highly recommend Kate to other hosts.
I made an error on her review. She is a 5 star guest all the way around.
Second time staying here and it was just as amazing as the first time! We love this house…the pool is perfect on a hot summer day and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need to make a big family dinner! We will be coming back next year!
A beautiful, charming home with spacious rooms and 3 bathrooms. It was a great place to stay for our weekend getaway with friends and fly. We will definitely use again. Great communication with the owner and the housekeeper.
We had such a great stay. The location of the house is perfect. You can walk to all of the restaurants in old Bay St Louis and the beach. All of the other restaurants that we love in neighboring towns are just a short drive away. Mary Ellen was great and went out of her to make sure we had everything we needed.

There were six of us gals. The accommodations were perfect in every way. For mid July, the a/c was perfect. Great facilities. We will be returning next summer, for sure!
Home is very clean and very comfortable. Walking distance to everything and nestled into a beautiful neighborhood. Owner is very sweet and attentive. Could not have been better.
Wonderful location, could walk to beach, shops, restaurants. House was inviting. Too cold to enjoy the pool, but back deck and patio were great. Town is perfect for biking. Will definitely come back when it is warmer.

About the host
Hosted by Mary Ellen Warner
Mary Ellen and Bob are experienced vacation rental hosts. Their interest in developing property was born after Hurricane Katrina when they purchased a 126 year old creole cottage in Bay St. Louis, MS . They completely restored this historical "Biloxi Cottage" (1 of two left on coast). The Creole Cottage was placed on the National Register of Historic Properties.
It is now the flag ship of our small portfolio of restored luxury properties. Mary Ellen and Bob each contribute to the success of the rentals. Mary Ellen manages the varied properties and gives the guests a special local experience. Bob grew up in Waveland, MS & attended St. Stanislaus College in Bay St. Louis. Mary Ellen and Bob's knowledge and lifelong ties to the area and the people gives our guests a true local experience.
They share a special experience that reveals the "old world" charm, the natural beauty, and unique culture of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. After one visit we hope that our guests will appreciate this beautiful coastal area as much as we do. We welcome you to the Citrus House.
