About this property

Dogtrot Cottage Near Downtown, Shearwater Pottery, and East Beach

Liliiflora Cottage is a modern “dogtrot” style home.
The home is provisioned with all of the necessities and conveniences to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The “Dog Trot” design allows each of the two bedrooms to open onto a large, screened breezeway, which is great for sleeping with the doors and windows open on cool nights. The porch is a great place to relax in one of the hanging hammock chairs and read a good book. The main house has vaulted ceilings, a full kitchen, half bath, laundry and a living area with large screen TV and wireless internet.

Liliiflora Cottage is conveniently located within a short walk to East Beach and only a short bike ride to Ocean Spring’s charming downtown area. Downtown Ocean Springs is host to the famous Walter Anderson Museum and the Mary C. O'Keefe Cultural Center, you’ll also find unique shops, art galleries, museums, the best restaurants on the coast and lots of friendly people. There is almost always something going on downtown, farmers markets and festivals during the day and plenty of night life with great live music at night. The Inner Harbor is only a couple of minutes away and is a great place to buy fresh shrimp right off the boat or book a fishing trip to the barrier islands. The area offers plenty of great fishing that is easily accessible if you prefer to bring your own boat (parking available on site). Shearwater Pottery is just east of the harbor and is an interesting place to stop in. Just a little further up the road is Front Beach. Here there are sandy beaches, picnics tables, bonfire pits, and a community fishing pier. Ft. Maurepas Park is located just across from Front Beach, which is a great place for younger children. There is a new splash pad, playground equipment and a covered picnic area. The parks amphitheater is often host to concerts and other events. Further west is the Ocean Springs/Biloxi Bridge, a very popular and scenic place for walkers to take advantage of the nearly two-mile pedestrian walkway over the Mississippi Sound. On the other side of the bridge, Biloxi offers plenty of Casinos and restaurants, the world famous Ohr O'Keefe Museum of Art, the Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum, Beauvoir, the Biloxi Aquarium, and the MGM Park (a 5,000+ seat baseball stadium that is home the Biloxi Shuckers). Ocean springs is also a great jumping off place for a day trip to New Orleans, which is only about 90 miles away, or to Mobile and Dauphin Island, 50 or so miles away.

We had a great stay! The property is super close to Downtown OS but far away to feel quiet and secluded. The owner was easy to communicate with and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! Highly recommend!

Gem Near the Water

Beautiful home with unique southern design. View of bayou and bay from the front porch and windows. It had everything we needed for a month long visit. We enjoyed all the art work and books sharing the history of the area. Ocean Springs is a beautiful small town with many shops and restaurants. The house was perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood between the town and the water. Owner was great to work with. 5 stars for sure!

Lovely place in Ocean Springs

We had a wonderful long stay at the cottage. It was perfect for our family and one of the cleanest, best equipped rentals we've ever stayed in. The location was super peaceful - nice walk down to the beach, lovely views of the marsh across the street, and close to town, groceries, etc. We spent lots of time on the screened porch, front porch and backyard. It was our first time in town and we will definitely be back!

Relaxing and Quiet

Great cottage in a nice quiet neighborhood supplied well with everything we needed. And very clean!!! Lilliflora is very unique with the screened breezeway between living area and sleeping area and tastefully decorated. My husband and I and our little dog were very comfortable and super happy we found this gem! Stores and the quaint downtown area were close by but we also enjoyed the parks in the area for hiking.

Beautiful Cottage

This cottage is simply breathtaking! If you are looking for a quiet retreat, this is it! The home has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. I loved how the sleeping area is separate from the main house. The yard was nice for our pets and the middle area was great for napping!

Great House walking distance to the water

We had a great stay last week at the house. It is very cute! We love the style of the house and the screened porch between the living room/kitchen and bedrooms. Our dog loved it too! Lots of rabbits and other dogs in the neighborhood to chase and play with. The neighbors were very friendly and helpful. You could walk to the beach, but there is no sidewalk, so you have to be careful. It’s a very short and scenic walk. We would definitely stay there again.
