About this property

Clean & Charming Backyard Cottage 2 Blocks From The Beach!

Our "Backyard Bungalow" has received rave reviews from our guests over the past three years, and now we are offering it as a stand-alone accommodation (earlier, it was only available to rent as an add-on if the main house was also rented). This 700 square foot cozy backyard cottage was completed in March of 2018. Located in a prime neighborhood of Bay St Louis, the property is a 2-block walk to the most expansive and pristine white-sand beach on The Bay, and is very convenient to old town Bay St. Louis shops, restaurants, and bars. The space can comfortably accommodate six guests and has it's own patio and outdoor seating area.

The cottage is clean, charming and well-appointed with many designer touches. There is a common living space with two queen beds as well as a twin daybed with an additional twin trundle bed underneath - all of which are topped off with luxury linens. The bathroom includes granite countertops and custom cabinets and tile work. The kitchen also has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances including a gas range, side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, and microwave oven. There is a pantry and laundry room just off the kitchen with a large capacity washer and dryer, coffee maker, toaster oven, cooking and cleaning supplies and lots of storage. There is complimentary high-speed internet throughout the property, as well as a 4k smart TV with DirecTV service. Outside, there is a patio with an umbrella-table and seating for four.

The bungalow (cottage) is it's own stand-alone building with its own private entrance and a single vehicle private driveway. There is also room to park three additional vehicles on the street in front of the property. The Bungalow is completely separate from the main house, yet both buildings sit on the large lot which is nearly 3/4 of an acre, and is adorned with several mature fruit trees (oranges, lemons, pears, peaches, satsumas, figs, pecans, kumquats, and more!). It is truly a special place to make memories with your family and friends!

Very cute space! Plenty of room for all 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids).
The place was very clean and nice. Spacious for all of us. Location was close to the beach (we walked there). Close to town but not too close. The ONLY negative I would give is the parking. I did not enjoy parking on the street. There is a small gate to the left of the property that could easily (in my opinion) be opened and set up for at least one car parking so that we weren’t parked in the grass on the side of the road. Other than that it was a great stay!

Quiet Bungalow located close to beach and old downtown Bay St. Louis
A great weekend spent in Bay St. Louis. Quiet bungalow situated in an inviting backyard setting off from main house. Great property with easy access to beach with a short walk down St. Charles street, and you can take a short ride in car to Old Downtown to enjoy to coastal vibe, good restaurants, and great shops. Make sure to stop in the Ugly Private for pizza, Old Creamery for ice cream, and don’t forget to eat at Trapani’s for dinner. Great place for a family get-away or a much needed girls weekend. Property owners give clear instructions, great price, and respond quickly to questions.

Great Backyard Cottage!
The cottage was perfect for our weekend! Quiet neighborhood, but close to the beach and all that Bay St Louis has to offer. The cottage is well maintained and super clean! The hosts, Michael and his wife, are wonderful - prompt communication, facilitates an easy checkin/checkout experience, and very attentive! The cottage sleeps 6 comfortably, is well appointed (great beds and linens), and the kitchen has everything you need! I would definitely stay here again!
