About this property

Beachfront Property in Ocean Springs, Overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Sleeps 14

Whether you’re looking for an intimate setting for your family vacation, or just a beach getaway, you are sure to make lifelong memories with your family and friends at Seagrass Beach Cottage - a beautiful home which sits on its own private beach on the Mississippi Gulf Coast near the quaint coastal town of Ocean Springs, Mississippi.

This spectacular 4 bedroom / 4 bath cottage-style ocean front beach house blends old Southern charm with modern amenities, including WIFI Internet, three flat screen Smart TVs, central heat and air, tankless gas hot water heater and washer and dryer - to name a few. In addition to the 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, the spiral staircase in the living room leads to a Pelican Loft (used as a 5th bedroom) with French doors opening to a private sunbathing deck, with picturesque views of your private beach, the Gulf of Mexico, and Horn Island.

Belle Fontaine Beach showcases the natural beauty of the Mississippi Gulf Coast like no other place can. It's a beach front community with 3 miles of private white-sand beaches on the Mississippi Sound.

Features of the home include:
* Wrap around porches provide plenty of outdoor entertaining spaces, including the large back porch ( 80' x 12’), which overlooks the beach and the Gulf of Mexico.
* ADA-compliant accommodations includes a bedroom, with queen bed and private bathroom.
* 4 total bedrooms, including 1 King, 1 Queen, 1 Double, and 4 Twin beds.
* Upstairs Pelican loft area, with two Twin sleeping chairs and access to upper outside deck.
* 4 full bathrooms
* Separate sitting room with 2 additional fold-a-way cots
* 2 separate laundry rooms, each with its own washer and dryer.
* Built-in outdoor gas grill, bar, and 4-burner cooktop.
* Ample parking

In addition to the beach, Seagrass is close to numerous opportunities for entertainment and recreation, including boat charter, fishing, kayaking, boating, and golfing. Seagrass is also located near Gulf Coast Casinos and cultural events, including the annual Peter Anderson Festival (Mississippi’s largest arts and crafts festival) and CRUISING THE COAST EVENT! If you’re a Boutique shopper you hit the Jackpot with our Downtown Ocean Springs District. With more than 200 local shops, galleries, restaurants and nightlife, the Ocean Springs community captures the small town charm with its walkability, white sand beaches, and year round activity.

We require a minimum 3-night stay for all bookings—but we imagine you’ll want to stay longer. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

The home was as beautiful as pictured! We loved the large deck overlooking the Gulf. The neighborhood is very quiet as is the beach. We very much enjoyed our time at the Seagrass, but also enjoyed time in Ocean Springs!

Book Getaway

Our vacation felt like something straight out of a book. The house was absolutely beautiful, with perfectly curated decor that made it feel like home. The beach was stunning, and our walks were nothing short of magical—most of the time, we had the shoreline all to ourselves.Definitely an A experience!”*

🏖️The ideal beach vacation location🏖️

Our family was so pleased to find this house! The beautiful ocean views on the back porch and convenience to the private beach are a few of our very favorites. This property is fantastic, clean and convenient! Not to mention, the property management team has excellent communication. We are already looking at the calendar to see when we can come back! Highly recommend!

Great Space

We really liked the layout because there was so much room to spread out. There is even a spot to work if one were so inclined. The kitchen is in the small side, but the layout allows for plenty of workspace. We all enjoyed sitting outback to enjoy the view everyday. The location is quiet and peaceful. We all felt it was a great long weekend place to escape to.

About the host

Hosted by Irene Gillespie

Host profile image
My name is Clay Gillespie. My wife Irene and I have been very happily married for 30 years. We have 23-year-old triplets and a 21-year-old.

Why they chose this property

We own both Seagrass Beach Cottage as well as the Sandhill Beachhouse just next door. I immediately fell in love with both of these properties, their charm and character, not to mention the serenity of their own private beach right on the Gulf of Mexico. Our favorite part of Seagrass is the oversized covered back porch, where we can sit all day, taking in the breathtaking views and sounds of the ocean.

Ultimately, Irene and I plan to retire here, but in the meantime, we are pleased to share our home as a vacation rental property.

What makes this property unique

The most desirable benefit of the Seagrass Beach Cottage is most definitely the private, natural white sand BEACH! The sounds and views of the Gulf are absolutely spectacular, whether taking them in from the oversized back porch or from your beach chair right on the water.
