This property is clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood is very quiet and safe. The screened porch area is relaxing and keeps the bugs out.
The stay here was amazing and was everything I could have asked for. The place was clean and spacious and will most defintely rent here again! Loved it!
We had a great stay! The property is super close to Downtown OS but far away to feel quiet and secluded. The owner was easy to communicate with and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! Highly recommend!
This is my second stay at Liliiflora cottage and will definitely book here first in the future. The layout is very comfortable; it is well stocked and very clean. Well done!
A great house with a very arty layout. It has everything you need and homeyIt was also very fun to be in a house of different architecture than ours back home in New Hampshire. A great experience!
Kids loved the dog trot “playroom”. Nice cool, clean house. Can’t really walk to the bay with Littles but it is just down the road. Lovely neighborhood and very little traffic.
Beautiful home with unique southern design. View of bayou and bay from the front porch and windows. It had everything we needed for a month long visit. We enjoyed all the art work and books sharing the history of the area. Ocean Springs is a beautiful small town with many shops and restaurants. The house was perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood between the town and the water. Owner was great to work with. 5 stars for sure!
We had a wonderful long stay at the cottage. It was perfect for our family and one of the cleanest, best equipped rentals we've ever stayed in. The location was super peaceful - nice walk down to the beach, lovely views of the marsh across the street, and close to town, groceries, etc. We spent lots of time on the screened porch, front porch and backyard. It was our first time in town and we will definitely be back!
Great cottage in a nice quiet neighborhood supplied well with everything we needed. And very clean!!! Lilliflora is very unique with the screened breezeway between living area and sleeping area and tastefully decorated. My husband and I and our little dog were very comfortable and super happy we found this gem! Stores and the quaint downtown area were close by but we also enjoyed the parks in the area for hiking.
House perfectly designed with a a cool and breezy screened porch between the sleeping areas and the living areas. Great back yard for dogs. Wonderful view of marsh. Good location gracious host
Nicely decorated cottage in a quiet location. It was only an hour or so from Dauphin island which was a great day trip for some beach time.
Communication with property manager was great!
The accommodations exceeded expectations and because we had a lot of rain there were still many interesting things for us to do and see. We more than enjoyed our vacation
