IMMEDIATE AREA
Walk 1.5 blocks to the beach with bath house, fire pit, and fishing pier. Located in the historic Depot District (future Amtrak station) with The Blind Tiger Butcher & Seafood Market, Lagarde's Fine Wines...plus a pet store, pizza/draft beer place, boutique clothing shop and Pilates studio. Or just walk around the Depot District park to see the duck pond. Catch a play at the Bay St. Louis Theatre or a concert at 100 Men Hall. Close enough to walk to the big downtown restaurants/bars, but far enough where they won't keep you awake at night...that's why we love this area!

BSL CITY PROPER
The downtown area is just a few short blocks away. Rent a golf cart to get back and forth or on a nice day it's an easy short 10-minute walk to the antique shops and boutiques on Main Street.

RECAP
Incredible area, cute little old standalone home but new rental. We look forward to hosting you at the beach with a private historic cottage that brings all the comforts of home.

Loved everything about this house

We saw this house on a prior visit and chose it for location and the porch swing. It is now one of our favorite rentals. The inside decor is interesting and fun. The house is comfortable and has everything you could possibly need. Hosts were great to work with. We will be back.

Amazing Place!

The perfect house! This place is so well thought out, every detail! Love how you have modernized, yet kept the integrity of the place. We really enjoyed all the personal touches and fun and quirky artwork, beautiful windows, floors and doors. I don't think there was anything we needed during our stay. The location was perfect also for walking and exploring the great town! Everyone is so friendly. We definitely would recommend your place and would love to stay again! Kudos to a great job on the details and for sharing your lovely place with others!

Another Wonderful Week

This is our 2nd time to stay in this sweet cotage in less than 6 months and we were not disappointed . If you are looking for a perfect place this is it. Everything you need is waiting in this charming place. It is close to downtown and all kinds of restaurants. And the front porch is a great place to enjoy your coffee in the mornings. We hope to visit Bay St. Louis again and we dont have to figure out where we will stay…we have for sure found our “Happy Place”

Stay Here While in BSL

Very affordable, clean and super comfortable. It has old home charm with modern conveniences. It has been renovated in the best way. The lights are on motion detectors and timers so they gently come on when you enter a room. The pictures on VRBO did not do justice to the beauty and funkiness of this place. It is in a great location as well.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica and Greg

Host profile image
We're from New Orleans and have been coming to the Bay for 20+ years. We enjoy living life, and spend all of our spare time on historic renovation, travel, music, dining, and hunting for vintage treasures.

Why they chose this property

You're a stone's throw to the beach, a tennis/pickleball court, restaurants...and a short walk away from the loud but fun! downtown scene. The block has many old restored homes including our old shotgun sandcastle.

What makes this property unique

Our home was just 100% renovated, is super spacious with tall ceilings and big rooms, and has all the modern amenities you expect nestled inside a historic home with beautiful old original features.
