Amazing Guest House

This place was like staying at a friends home. The furnishings and finishes were amazing and the location was very private. Having bikes was a plus, once we parked we did not need our car the entire stay. Highly recommend!

Two friends celebrating 60th birthdays

This was perfect for two people. It was a short walk to a pretty white sand beach with no crowds. We basically had the beach to ourselves late May early June. The upstairs apartment had a little deck overlooking a beautiful back yard and pool. All the trees made it feel secluded.

Spectacularly Relaxing

My husband and I stayed here over Memorial Day weekend. From start to finish it was a great stay. We loved being able to bike around Bay St. Louis. The house and grounds provided a restful and serene space for us to unwind and relax. Every detail was considered by the owners down to the great furnishings, linens and soaps. We are already planning our next weekend escape!

Peaceful retreat in the trees

The cottage was beautifully furnished, clean and well equipped. The French doors and floor to ceiling windows create lovely views into the surrounding trees and the pool. I saw an abundance of resident birds, a family of osprey and quite a few migratory songbirds without taking a step outside! Communication with the owners was excellent.

Lovely, Well Cared for Cottage

Our stay in this lovely cottage was very enjoyable and relaxing. My husband and I stayed in the upstairs apartment and my daughter and her family stayed downstairs. The house was large enough for all of us to have our own space. It was beautifully decorated and yet very comfortable. The entire property was clean and very well cared for. We all enjoyed the pool and my daughter and her children loved being able to ride the bikes into town for coffee and sweets. Mary Ellen is a wonderful host and is always ready to help.

Would stay here again.

Mary Ellen was an excellent hostess. Upon arrival, there was a lack of communication from her assistant upon how to access the property however, a quick phone call to Mary Ellen and we had all the information we needed to access the unit. This apartment is large enough for two people and we were pleasantly surprised at just how large it is. We were in town for business and found the internet service to be reliable. The downfall about this property is the bed. It's a full-sized bed so if you are expecting a queen or king, keep this in mind. Also, when we took hot showers, the smoke alarm went off due to the steam. Those were the only drawbacks and while we're accustomed to a king-sized bed, we made the best of it and still enjoyed our stay. The property is very well-maintained and was very clean upon our arrival. My husband and I both agree that we would enjoy staying here again.

Total Package

Our group included 2 adult couples for a 3-week stay. Renting both the upstairs guest house and main house provided us with lots of space, privacy, and the entire property just for us. We really enjoyed breakfasts and dinners cooked in, the grills, and the pool. Super location in quiet neighborhood near to everything - shopping, restaurants, grocery, beaches, and New Orleans. The guest quarters is much more spacious than pictures show. Mary Ellen had great communication and made us all feel welcome. Highly recommend!

This property is very lovely and charming. It is a very comfortable space in a quiet neighborhood, yet convenient to all that Bay St. Louis has to offer. I had family staying in the larger home so we were able to enjoy the entire property. The guest quarters offered a nice space for me and my dog to relax when we needed a little quiet time. This property is as described and even better than the pictures convey.

Charming and Chill Getaway

My partner and I were looking for a relaxing weekend to celebrate our anniversary, and we found the perfect VRBO here. It was probably one of the most charming properties we've ever stayed at. Well appointed and comfortable. We found ourselves spending more time at the property than we anticipated (rather than going out), because it was so relaxing. The location is excellent -- totally walkable to the beach or downtown. Also, NOLA is only an hour drive, and Gulfport/Biloxi is an hour the other direction! So lots of options if you're up for an adventure. Only minor snafu: I wasn't able to receive text messages from the host the day of or check in -- but she was great about using alternate contact methods t (phone/email) to ensure we had everything we needed. Incredible experience, and would absolutely rent again.

Relaxing stay on at the Bay.

We fell in love with this property. The process with the rental, check in and communication with the owner was super easy. The apartment was quaint, comfortable and had everything we needed. It was quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed having access to bikes. We rode to the beach and to the downtown area. We also enjoyed sitting by the pool, which was clean and well maintained. We hope to rent this location again in the future or even possibly the main house with our kids!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Ellen Warner

Host profile image
Mary Ellen and Bob are experienced vacation rental hosts. Their interest in developing property was born after Hurricane Katrina when they purchased a 126 year old creole cottage in Bay St. Louis, MS . They completely restored this historical "Biloxi Cottage" (1 of two left on coast). The Creole Cottage was placed on the National Register of Historic Properties.

It is now the flag ship of our small portfolio of restored luxury properties. Mary Ellen and Bob each contribute to the success of the rentals. Mary Ellen manages the varied properties and gives the guests a special local experience. Bob grew up in Waveland, MS & attended St. Stanislaus College in Bay St. Louis. Mary Ellen and Bob's knowledge and lifelong ties to the area and the people gives our guests a true local experience.

They share a special experience that reveals the "old world" charm, the natural beauty, and unique culture of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. After one visit we hope that our guests will appreciate this beautiful coastal area as much as we do. We welcome you to the Guest Quarters.

Why they chose this property

The owners return to the Gulf Coast regularly for rest and relaxation. They are pleased to have the opportunity to restore and preserve this historical 100 year old cottage, 'La Petite Cachette' (Little Nook). They love their home and want to share this restored piece of coastal history.

What makes this property unique

This Creole home is one of the few 'Biloxi Cottages' to survive after Katrina.The typical 'Biloxi Cottage' is a locally popular vernacular house that is typified by a gable roof, undercut gallery, and four bay facade with doors in two central bays.

'La Petite Cachette' is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This is a special property that seamlessly blends the history of a past lifestyle with the modern luxury of today. The 'barge board' bookshelves and hardwood floors are incorporated with the modern luxury of the private pool, WIFI, and flatscreens.
