About this property

Mermaid's Muse - close to beach & downtown Ocean Springs! Includes golf cart!

***NEW LISTING*** Approximately a mile from the water, Mermaid's Muse is a beautiful, three-bedroom property near the white sands and beautiful sunsets of Ocean Springs beaches, as well as just down the road from the heart of the historic downtown Ocean Springs shopping/restaurant district. 

This charming, newly renovated cottage has three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and includes the use of a deluxe electric street-legal golf cart!

Mermaid Muse is the perfect place for a romantic weekend getaway, as well as week-long vacations with the family. 

Loaded with amenities, you will find a clean, artistically decorated space with all the conveniences of home.

Mermaid's Muse features a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances including an oven/stove, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, toaster, blender, Keurig coffee maker, and all the utensils you will need for preparing meals on days you rather stay in the comforts of home, rather than eating out at the numerous Ocean Springs hot-spots.

The living room provides a comfortable place to lounge in front of the large flat-screen SmartTV, and provides an extra place to sleep if needed with the pull-out Queen-size sofa bed. 

In the Master Bedroom, you will find a Sleep Number King bed and SmartTV, with a private bathroom.

There are two guest bedrooms with a full bathroom between them. The entire property is equipped with high-speed wireless Internet.

There is a front porch deck as well as a front balcony that provides outdoor seating to relax in the gulf breezes.

***There should be no more than six people on the property unless prior permission is given. No events or parties are allowed of any kind. We have exterior security cameras for the safety of both guests and property outside of the home. There are no inside cameras.***

Ocean Springs is a golf cart-friendly town, and we provide a four-seat deluxe electric golf cart with built-in radio & Bluetooth speakers for our guests to use to go to the beach and downtown at no additional cost.

While at Mermaid's Muse you will feel completely at home and never need to leave the property to have a fantastic stay, but if you can tear yourself away, you'll find yourself just down the road from the heart of the quaint historic town of Ocean Springs. It has many great restaurants, museums, art galleries, sidewalk cafes, antique stores, and unique gift shops for you to enjoy.

Mermaid's Muse is the perfect place for your vacation. Book your stay today!

Comfortable house, great location

We stayed here with our daughter and 2 grandsons. It was the perfect size for us. The upstairs balcony was the perfect place for some quiet time. We were close enough to the beach to walk our dogs down there, but we also loved having a golf cart to ride around in. Chris (the property manager) was great to reach out and see if we needed anything.

Great location

We've been visitors of OS since the 90's and it is always fun to visit. The location was great and the use of a golf cart made it so much easier to get around than a car would.

Great location and super clean!

We loved this place! So much room and super clean. If we had any questions we got them answered. It’s close enough to the downtown area. Bonus…a golf cart for 4 was included. It was so convenient to get to the shops, delicious restaurants, and the beach area. I’ve been to OS several times and it is a lovely place for an adult trip. My teen enjoyed the shopping too. Definitely recommend and would stay again, if I go back.

Perfect Location, Awesome Space, Golfcart made the trip!

We had so much fun for our little weekend getaway in Ocean Springs! Mermaid’s Muse was perfect for us and we want to bring our friends back to stay - there would have been plenty of room for another couple or kids. It’s right on the Main Street of town but far enough away for quiet and not far from the beach! This town is so cute and fun. The included golf cart access truly made our whole trip.
