It was the perfect home away from home so comfortable and cozy the bed was very comfortable with South Linens. The location was just right we could walk to the beach or downtown Ocean Springs to our favorite coffee shop. I love the outdoor patio that was fenced in to take my little dog out. The refrigerator helped us keep all our favorite things with us and the extra seating in the room was perfect. We can't wait to return it's our new favorite spot.

Everything was just great! The only problem we had was the drainage in the bathtub and sink in the bathroom. Water did not drain out very well. Water was ankle deep during shower and about 2 inches deep while using the sink. You might want to check that out. Thanks for a terrific trip to Ocean Springs!
