Walk to the Beach and Downtown Restaurants, Bars, and Shops!
The Space:
The Benton Beachside is YOUR new home-away-from home. Sunny, comfortable and spacious, this home has everything your group is looking for during your stay including a new oven and fridge in the kitchen as well as a new grill and patio furniture. All beds in the 4 bedrooms are very comfortable.
The Neighborhood:
Located in quaint historic downtown Ocean Springs, The Benton Beachside is steps from the beach and Gulf of Mexico. A short 15-minute stroll through picturesque streets lined with mossy oak trees will take you to the heart of downtown where many restaurants, bars, and shops are located, among other things waiting to be discovered. (Don't miss the Farmer's Market at the Depot on the weekends!) For the more adventurous, located next to the house is the entrance to the 1.7-mile walking path across the Biloxi-Ocean Springs Bridge - ideal for anyone hoping to get in some exercise while on vacation or for catching a glimpse of the stunning sunrise or sunset over the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Or - enjoy a morning walk on the 1-mile boardwalk along the beach which starts at the Yacht Club and ends at the Harbor where you can buy fresh shrimp right off of the boat! On the other side of the bridge are casinos and all of the nightlife that Biloxi has to offer.

This is our 3rd stay here. The host has been amazing. House is perfect. Spacious, 4 bedrooms, clean. But sometimes it’s the little things, bathrooms well stocked with towels, soap, shampoo, extra toilet paper, kitchen stocked with delicious homemade bread, bottles of water, extra trash age, laundry soap, literally everything to make it feel like home. I’ll book this house every time I come back to Ocean Springs!Greg
This is our second time staying here and will be our first choice to book every time we come back. We race our catamaran at the Ocean Springs Yacht Club 2 min down the street 2 times a year.
This home is so close, plenty of room for everyone, clean and the hosts do the small things to make us feel very welcome here.
You will not regret booking here.
Very convenient location to downtown for dinner and the beach.

Could not ask for a better location to the beach and any store you could ask for. Even a 3 min walk to the beach or fishing piers or even the downtown.
We traveled from NC for a week of full of cheer competitions and this place was exactly as pictured & described. We all had fun exploring what we could! I definitely recommend! Thanks Cyndi & Frank!
Plenty of space for hanging together or separate, like when the kids just wanna watch YouTube Minecraft videos, and the parents wanna be close enough to keep an eye, but far enough to have a sane conversation. We all look forward to coming back.
This property was AMAZING!
It was in a perfect location for everything you'd want. Extremely comfortable and clean with LOTS of space to enjoy a relaxing week. Highly recommend and hope to come back!! Definitely 5 STARS.
My family from Mississippi and Alabama gathered together for a wonderful weekend in Ocean Springs. We loved the house and the location. The house is close to downtown and the beach. The thoughtful touches at the house (king cake, toiletries in the bathroom, binder and information about the area) were great and we hope to stay here again.
Great location and great property! We had 7 guys hang out for a bachelor trip and the house is in a perfect location. Walking distance to both the beach and restaurants in Ocean Springs. The house was very clean and we had 0 complaints! Highly recommend!
Our 6yo daughter lives the kids bedroom and the swing in the backyard. She was also a big fan of the hanging papasan chair in the den/TV room. The house was adorably decorated for the holidays and we enjoyed to local restaurant recommendations provided by the hosts and the complimentary snacks for our little one. Overall it was a great place.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience at the Benton Beachside!
We had the warmest welcome with treats and a Birthday surprise! Everything you need for visiting the beach and enjoying your stay from beach chairs, beach towels, games etc. are provided. The recommendations and very informative notebook was an excellent touch. It was just 3 of us staying and we had more than enough space, the Benton easily accommodates a larger group but was more reasonably priced than some smaller places. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will definitely be coming back!
2nd time to stay here. Love the location, can hike the bridge, sit on the beach or walk into town.
This home has 3 gathering spaces Love the tv room and the backyard.
Stayed here as a family of 5 . Great location. Near train tracks but they surprisingly didn’t bother us at all! It actually added to the charm of the home. Personal touches, cozy family hangout made for a great vacation, thank you so much Frank !! We will stay again.
Frank made check in super easy. House was within walking distance to downtown and was perfect. House had everything you could possibly need, decor was exceptional. Lots of room for the six of us. We had fresh squeezed Orange juice from the tree in back yard. Will definitely be back, thanks for the wonderful bread and wine. Terri and Friends
Communications with owner were easy, comfortable beds, very clean, lots of sofa space for movie watching and a well equipped kitchen. Close to beach & historic Ocean Springs.
