The property was even better in person than in the pictures. We loved the floor plan and the homeowners had many thoughtful touches (extra beach towels, dog bowls, etc.). The location was excellent with easy access to the beach and a short ride to shops. We are already making plans to stay here again!
This is a great place to stay when visiting Bay St Louis. The host was great communicating with us and the place was perfect for our family! Highly recommend
This house truly has become a home away from home for us and our kids. It’s the perfect size for our grown kids (all in their 20’s) with each having their own bedroom. Our daughter is able to have her own private bath, our sons share the Jack and Jill bath, and my husband and I have plenty of room in the master suite. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything needed to prepare a hearty breakfast to start the day or a meal if you want to stay in for the night. It makes it easy to return here each summer. The proximity to the beach and Old Town Bay Saint Louis is ideal. And we love being able to utilize the living space under the house with its many seating options and ceiling fans. Homeowners have always been responsive and welcoming.
wonderful Month Stay in Bay St Louis to Visit Family
The Property is Awesome and was everything we wanted for our month stay in Bay St Louis to visit nearby family. A short walk to the Beach. Property is incredible, well-kept and well stocked for everything you want for your stay. Communication is great and the host is very welcoming and accommodating. Wonderful Stay look forward to coming back in the future
Very nice location. Very clean and well furnished with complete kitchen utensils and appliances. Plus and minus with home up on pilings. Nice ground level room and parking, but steps to living area is hard for us old folks but probably good exercise. Owner very responsive to any request.
It is a wonderful property to stay. It is located close to downtown and the beach. One of the few properties with 4 bedrooms plus 3 bathrooms. Have stayed here 6 times over the years.
Grandparents, parents, & grandchildren outgrew my in-law's home for visiting for Christmas. So we found this house and loved it. Close to town and close to the relatives. The home accommodated our three generations perfectly. Loved it and will rent this home again next time.
This house has all the things to make you comfortable. The location is great, and always clean and in order. I think this is our sixth year, coming back, and have just made reservations for next year.
This home was in a perfect location whether we wanted a walk on the beach, or a stroll to restaurants and shops in downtown Bay St. Louis. It is well equipped to make the stay easy.
This is our 4th trip to Bay St Louis and our 3rd time staying at the Petras Ward House. Always well stocked and clean. Beautiful house that's close to the beach.
Lovely home close to the beach with everything we needed! The owners were very accommodating and friendly🙂. This is our second stay in this home and I’m sure we’ll be back!
Quick weekend with my aging mom and adult brothers and their wives. We loved the place. Spacious upstairs and the open downstairs was incredible. Had nearby family come to visit for the days and had so much room. Fun times I hope to repeat next year

About the host
Hosted by Charles Ward
Why they chose this property
This home is a multi-generational property originally purchased by the current owners' grandparents, Thelma and Harry Beyer. This property has been a gathering place with many fond memories ever since. Passed from generation to generation, Charles and Harry Ward owned the home prior to Katrina. Harry lovingly renovated this early 1900's home where he lived with his wife Jamie and young daughter Renee. As was the case for many houses so close to the Gulf of Mexico, Katrina left only the steps to this home and a few small treasures special to this family to this day. Harry and his family relocated to Nevada after the storm and Charles and their sister Ruth Petras decided to rebuild. With so many memories growing up from children to young adults they wanted to build the home to make those memories possible for generations to come. The home was rebuilt late in 2011 and has been a place where many shrimp have been fried, storms enjoyed with our tin roof and sunsets appreciated from our porches. Today it is referred to as the Petras-Ward House.
What makes this property unique
Porches, porches and more porches. Bay St. Louis has offered many generations of our family fond memories that we would like to share with our guests.
