Very charming cottage a block from the beach

The property was clean, comfortable, with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths being an additional plus. About a (short) block from the beach. Brought our two Scottish Terriers and they loved it--enjoyed walking on the beach, but there was also a well-enclosed backyard so that they could easily "use the facilities" when needed (mostly just early morning and right before bedtime). It was a pleasure to work with our hosts--most gracious and concerned about our needs. Look forward to a return visit hopefully soon.

Fabulous Winter Retreat

We just loved Creola Cottage for so many reasons. It's comfortable and cozy; extremely clean; comfortable beds and linens; kitchen well stocked; warm showers to name a few. The natural light in the cottage is gorgeous. Our dog loved the fenced yard. Ceiling fans were clean which is not common in other homes. The neighborhood is so quiet, it makes you want to whisper. Short walk to the beach. Aldi's is in Slidell; Walmart in Bay STL. Kathy and MIke were wonderful hosts. We highly recommend this cottage and hope to return next year. The only negative was that the dryer was super loud and the ceiling light in the primary bedroom should be brighter for safety. A grab bar to get out of the shower would also be helpful. Our stay was perfect! Thanks for sharing your home.

Perfect place for a get away!

This home had everything we needed and a bonus basket of goodies upon arrival! Very easy check in as owner was on the ball with an email greeting before arrival with check in procedure. Walking distance to the clean beach with morning sunshine to enjoy on the porch with your coffee and breakfast looking at the beautiful gulf waves and the full moon nights were amazing! Quiet neighborhood. Photos online are very accurate and the fenced in large back yard is perfect for a family with littles and small dogs. Definitely recommending to others! Thanks for a wonderful stay! The LeBlanc's from Napoleonville, LA

Hi there! We have officially hit the one-year mark as VRBO hosts and continue to enjoy the excitement that hosting brings! Since purchasing this Creola Beach Cottage (already a popular rental) in February 2024, we have met so many guests either in person or through messaging. We have enjoyed listening to their stories and sharing our own, especially as related to the property's history and how we came to acquire it. We live locally and encourage you to reach out with any questions or concerns. We will do our best to make sure your stay with us is everything you hope it to be. Thanks for being a part of our "Year 2" adventure!
Cheers,
Kathy & Mike

Why they chose this property

We live close by and enjoy the quiet, family-friendly, laid-back nature of Waveland. We also have a personal story about the property that we are happy to share! :-)

What makes this property unique

A ground-level house this close to the beach is a rarity! It was rebuilt fairly quickly following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina helping to jump-start the revitalization of the area.

We are also pet friendly (Pet Contract and pet fees are required).
