About this property

Castaway Key Beach House

Now with High Speed Internet

Belle Fontaine Beach is the perfect place to enjoy the private natural beauty of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. A beach front community on two miles of live oak lined winding road which follows a beautiful white sand beach on the Mississippi Sound. There is a plethora of wildlife from many species of fish and seabirds to the south and alligators and red foxes to the northern bayou. Get away from the condo crowd and enjoy the privacy of your private beach.

This newly built home features three bedrooms and two baths. The master has ocean views, king bed, and private bath with separate tub and shower with a double vanity. The other two bedrooms feature bayou views and share a bath. Both guest rooms have queen beds. All bedrooms have YouTube TV on Roku devices and 40" TV's. The living room has cathedral ceilings and an open floor plan. It features leather furniture with a sleeper sofa and a 60" TV with YouTube TV subscription on a Roku streaming device. Most streaming apps such a Netflix, Disney +, Hulu, HBO Max, Prime, and ESPN are also available on the Roku if you want to use your own account. We only provide a YouTube TV subscription, which has most of the local, sports, and other channels you are use to getting on cable. Bedrooms, living room, and kitchen have hardwood floors. The kitchen has stainless appliances, refrigerator/freezer, range oven, dishwasher, microwave, and all the pots, pans, charcoal BBQ, utensils, flatware, and dinnerware you need to cook family meals. We also have a full size washer and dryer. Our 600 sqft covered deck has a sitting area and chaise lounges and is steps away from your private beach. There is also a fire pit just before the beach. Kayaks and crab pots (to catch blue crabs) are also included in your rental.

We can arrange day/half day trips to Horn Island to fish or just enjoy the beach that inspired Walter Anderson. Pick up and Drop Off right on the beach in front of the house.

Concierge Service to custom fit your vacation.

Relaxing Low-Key Vacation
Had a great time at this house! My friend, her mom, her 7 year old daughter and myself wanted a place we could enjoy a beach without all the craziness of tourist towns! This house was equipped with everything you need to enjoy the private beach! We used the kayaks and beach chairs and with the beach only a few steps away, we were able to easily go back to house to take breaks. There is a convenient hose on the deck steps to keep sand from tracking into the house. Any questions we had (which was very few), the homeowner was very responsive. The location is close enough to what you need, but far enough away from the city feel to have a lot of quiet time and peaceful moments to enjoy the beach! Highly recommend!

We are three girlfriends that have known each other for over 20 years. After finishing a business weekend we headed to Ocean Springs for some much needed relaxation. Just wished we could have squeezed out a couple of more days.

My husband and I joined our daughters and their husbands for a four summer vacation. The house was beautiful with two spacious out door living spaces. We enjoyed the cool breezes and gulf view. We caught and enjoyed blue crabs and walks on the beach. It was a great summer get away.

Great beach house!
This house was exactly what we were looking for. It’s right on the beach, which is private and we hardly saw anyone there all week. The bedrooms were roomy, comfortable and clean. The deck was fantastic for sipping morning coffee and watching for dolphins. We had a fantastic week & highly recommend this house.

beautiful views
We loved our stay at Daisy's place. The house was spotless and well stocked. We had everything we needed, and indeed, the beach is right out the back door. The sand was clean and great fun for building castles, digging holes, watching crabs and shorebirds and dolphins, flying kites, and walking the surf. It also looks like it would be ideal for fishing. However--and I didn't see this information in any of the other reviews, and I feel like it's important to know--the beach in front of the house isn't great for swimming. The bottom is sandy for a few feet, then drops off into thick, sticky mud that is easily churned up when it rains. Maybe that won't bother your kids, but mine didn't love it. Luckily, there are good swimming spots close by--Front Beach in Ocean Springs has a sandy bottom and stays 2-3 feet deep for quite a distance. It's great for even small kids. The nearby casinos also sell day passes for their pools. We also took the ferry out to Ship Island one day, which was a lot of fun but the sun was very intense. We burned even with 100 spf and frequent applications. (A long-sleeved swim shirt and shorts saved the youngest--highly recommended.) Otherwise, Ocean Springs is warm and welcoming with great food and cute shops. The Walter Anderson museum was terrific. TatoNut has ruined all other donuts for us. Overall, it was a delightful trip.

Lovely property that makes you feel like you're at home. Lots of privacy, but very close to downtown amenities. The house has everything you need for a successful vacation plus extras.
