About this property

The Nest - A waterfront cottage sitting high above the tree tops

One of the most unique homes located on the Mississippi Gulf Coast! Imagine drinking your coffee or an evening glass of wine on the spacious front porch while overlooking the breathtaking gulf! This charming beach cottage is the perfect place to relax while being near great restaurants, bars, nightlife, and the beach.

Home features include: an open floor plan, granite counter tops, rustic hardwood floors, wrap around front porch, and a huge master suite with a walk-in closet. The home is well decorated and immaculately kept. The home also features an electric fireplace, washer and dryer, well-stocked kitchen, plenty of parking and an elevator for your luggage and groceries.

The home has two bedrooms and is recommended for four but can accommodate up to six. Great for a girls weekend, family getaway, or a relaxing couples trip! We are located in Long Beach, approximately 10 minutes to thriving downtown Gulfport nightlife and a quick five minute drive to downtown Long Beach, which is full of restaurants and boutiques! Also, conveniently located a half mile from Wal Mart and approximately 10 minutes to Bay St. Louis. This home is truly located in the center of it all while remaining private on a beachfront lot.

Home Away From Home

Our trip was perfect. We enjoyed all the extra little touches...a bottle of wine, soaps, shampoo, conditioner, beach chairs. There was even coffee in case you don't make it to the store the first night. There's great views from many spots in the house. We rented the beach fire pit and made s'mores on our final night. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Hostess with the Mostest

Can’t say enough about this property.Every detail was thought of- including beach reads, binoculars for bird watching, cozy blankets in the living room, beach towels, sand toys, BBQ grill etc etcThey even had a basket of welcome snacks and wine waiting for us, and filtered water in the fridge.The kitchen is stocked and ready for any type of meal you could possibly cook.There is ample seating on the deck overlooking the gulf.The beds are quite comfy andThe decor throughout the house is beautiful.The host is very responsive.The only downside is the road noise. During the day and at night the car/truck noise is distracting.I suggest earplugs and sound machines in the bedrooms for sleeping.Other than that- this place gets a 5 star from me.

Family beach vacation

The Nest was wonderful! The house was beautiful and perfect for our family our vacation. It was clean, really well-stocked, and had amazing views of the Gulf from the living room, front deck, and primary suite upstairs. Loved starting/ending the day on the deck. The luggage elevator was a huge help. The area is close to supplies/groceries and also activities/restaurants in Gulfport. Highly recommend the Ship Island Excursion as the beaches are better for swimming there. The only negative is the road in front of the house. There can be quite a bit of road noise and cars going fast, but not so busy that you can’t cross to the beach. Would not prevent us from renting again as the benefits of the house and location far outweigh the road issue.

House was very clean, had everything we needed and then some. Great location right across the street to the beach. Close to Walmart and lots of great restaurants if you drive a short distance to Gulfport. Owners were great at communication.

Awesome Beach House!

The beach house was very nice. Beautiful views off your private covered deck right across from the beach! Everything was decorated beautifully and had literally everything you need for your stay. In the storage area below the house there were also lots of beach gear.. umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards, sand toys etc. It also has a cargo elevator, a big plus! Our host was wonderful and even surprised us with a sign telling my wife happy birthday!! Another plus is it's in Long Beach, which is about in the middle of Bay St Louis and Biloxi/Gulf Port. So it's a short drive to go either way! Being its in Long Beach, things are quiet away from the busy city. Absolutely perfect for relaxing and basically have your own private beach!

Loved!

The house was perfect for our family of 4. The extra personal touches were noticed and appreciated, such as snacks and drinks. Because we have 2 teenage kids that would not both fit comfortably in bed, one slept on couch but said it was very comfortable and roomy. The location was great and they had beach chairs, toys, and towels. Bonus for the luggage elevator! Definitely recommend!
