Extremely pleased with this house right on the beach! Family-friendly and very well stocked with games, cards, and puzzles, which we loved after a fun day at beach or coming in from sunset walks. The fire pit at the beach was awesome at night along with the comfortableAdirondack chairs provided. The back porch was a cozy option to enjoy morning coffee to start each day. The beds were very comfortable, the house was clean, the kitchen is very well stocked and the coffee bar was amazing. We will be back for sure!

If you landed on this house and it’s open — book it! This is one of the rare occasions that the actual home is even more beautiful than the photos! On top of the beauty of it all you have your own PRIVATE BEACH! We’d never been to the Gulph, so we had no idea until now what we’ve been missing! Clay and Irene could not be more gracious, attentive hosts!! They even dropped me off a bottle of hairspray when I realized I’d forgotten mine! We hated to leave so much that we booked an extra day!! We’ll definitely be back!!

Such a great place to stay! Host communicated well, place was clean and a welcomed escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The private beach brought us and our family many hours of laughter and great conversation around the fire pit and kept our grandkids busy exploring and playing morning and night. Highly recommend!

The house was beautiful and the host had the right stuff for everyday use. We didnt need a thing except for food. We had our annual spring break with the kids and Grandparents. Everyone had a great time, from back porch sitting, to kids playing on the beach, water was a little cold but they didnt mind. We will definitely come back.

Beautiful home. House was very clean and roomy. Beds were very comfortable.The only issue was when we washed our white fabric. The water turned it brown. This was an easy fix but just was not prepared. The quiet beach was a nice peaceful retreat. Biloxi is very close and had plenty to do.

About the host

Hosted by Irene Gillespie

Host profile image

Hi! I’m Clay Gillespie. My wife Irene and I have been happily married for 30 years, and we're parents of four amazing adult children. Originally from Ponchatoula, Louisiana, I’ve always loved the serenity and character of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. After raising our children in Illinois and a move to Franklin, Tennessee, we have found our happy place in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. We take pride in hosting and ensuring your stay feels like a true escape.

Why they chose this property

We own both Sandhill Beachhouse and Seagrass Beach Cottage right next door. We fell in love with the natural beauty and tranquility of this stretch of beach. The private setting, gentle waves, and stunning views from our oversized porch sealed the deal. The Belle Fontaine beach neighborhood is quiet, peaceful, and tucked away from the crowds, yet close to everything. It’s our dream retirement spot—and in the meantime, we’re thrilled to share it with you.

What makes this property unique

What sets Sandhill apart? True oceanfront privacy. You’re not sharing beach access, stairs, or crowded walkways—this is YOUR beach. The elevated porch is perfect for soaking in the views with a coffee or cocktail. Inside, you’ll love the open floor plan, antique wood floors, and luxury touches throughout. Bonus? The elevator makes coming and going a breeze.
