About this property

Steps From Sand! BEACH VIEW, 1 Blk to Park, 2 Blks to Restaurants, Pet Friendly.

Stay at the Mermaid's lair while she's away, frolicking with the Pirate! She created the perfect oasis for those times when one just needs a little peace, quiet and relaxation away from a crazy world that begs escape. Don't worry, the lair is thoughtfully stocked with all the amenities bipedal folks require. There is a fully equipped kitchen (dual ice maker in the fridge), all linens, including beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels, etc... Just grab your suit, throw on your flip flops and make a RUN FOR THE COAST! This is a classic beach house with views of the water from Historic Seal Avenue. Covered, off street parking available for vehicles. Ideal for two couples or two small families (one king size bed, one queen size bed plus two inflatable mattresses available) - If you need more space than 2bdr/2bath, check out our other listing - also at this address, a separate 1bdr/1bath/kitchenette cottage which can be booked in addition (if available on the calendar- property listing number #371550)

The stay was awesome. We were greeted with delicious cupcakes and a nice note. The location was great just a block off the beach and the hosts were easy to contact and quick to answer any questions we had. Would recommend The Mermaid to anyone looking to enjoy the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

If you want to get away from the crowds of the Gulf Coast this is a wonderful place to stay. A short walk to the beach and an easy drive to some wonderful shopping and restaurants. The house is very well appointed, comfortable with secure parking. Our hosts were very easy to work with.

Great Stay

We loved our two nights at this home. It’s furnished with lovely things and it’s competently run by friendly, prompt people. The fresh flowers and bakery treats left for us were such a thoughtful element. The proximity to the shore is perfect and the surrounding homes are beautiful to see. We slept well on firm mattresses and enjoyed our time immensely. We would stay again.

Amazing stay!

My best friend and I were looking for somewhere to meet for a short weekend beach get-away. This property was everything described and more!!! The house was just lovely and so well equipped. The owners even left us a delicious tray of chocolate covered strawberries for our weekend. We will definitely stay here again!

Anniversary Weekend

We spent two nights at this lovely cottage for an anniversary trip. The location is great, very short walk to the beach and even a beach view. Lots of great restaurants close by too! The cottage was so clean and very well equipped. We had fresh flowers and the yummiest chocolate covered strawberries on the table when we arrived. I would definitely recommend this property!

Great Location and fully stocked

The owners were super easy to contact. The house is so well kept and fully stocked including beach toys and dog crate. I just wish that the yard was fully fenced. Walking distance to eating, and the farmers market was great on Saturday. We will return.

Happy as a Mermaid!

This amazing property was absolutely perfect for our week stay in Pass Christian. The home was so much more than the listing could ever suggest; truly a home, not just a house. The kitchen was perfect for cooking multiple nights and had everything we needed. The home is just off the beach - the white picket fences made the stroll delightful! The beds and pillows were the most comfortable we've slept on (yes, we even googled the brands to buy for home!) I work remote, and enjoyed sitting on the front porch with my laptop. I can see why this rental has five-stars for everything. It's as perfect as they come!

Friends Fun

Lovely property, lovely home, lovely town…the quaint quiet atmosphere of Pass Christian was perfect. The home and hosts were wonderful. We were greeted with fresh flowers and chocolates. Necessities were provided. The home was in a safe area and we felt it easy to nest for the week. Kurt was quick to respond to an air-conditioning concern even on a Sunday evening. The beach was perfect to walk in the morning and the location made it easy to travel to neighboring towns for touring sights and shopping. The check in and check out process was simple. What more could you want for a vacation stay?!

Upon arrival we knew we had made a fabulous choice for our Thanksgiving getaway! Fresh flowers and a sparkling clean home. What a thoughtful touch to have left a gift card to the local bookstore/coffee shop, which is within walking distance of this precious home. We enjoyed the gorgeous beach view while drinking our coffee! The owners were amazing to work with! Thank you again for a relaxing, non stressful getaway! We will be back soon♥️Lee and Pam Smith

About the host

Hosted by Kurt Strange

Host profile image
We are a military family who fell in love with the coast when it was time to retire. Original southerners by birth, we find the gulf coast offers not only famous southern hospitality, but a rich blend of the various coastal culture from New Orleans to Florida (not to mention fantastic foods) that cannot be duplicated anywhere else on planet earth. We know this because we have traveled all over planet earth! The gulf coast is a special place and we consider it a privilege to be able to share it with others.

Why they chose this property

Our home was built post-Katrina in 2010 when the area was still struggling to revive itself. We've seen significant growth in the past decade.

What makes this property unique

Pass Christian is unique in its stately and peaceful setting among the considerable activities on the coast. It is the perfect quiet beach getaway with easy access to nightlife, casinos, water sports, shopping, museums, restaurants...you name it.
