The perfect costal cottage
The Claire was absolutely perfect. It is in a wonderful and safe location. The house is full of charm and history. The house is furnished with everything one could possibly need. The fruit trees is an added bonus. My family enjoyed spending our summer in this beautiful home. Tammy is exceptional and so easy to communicate with. This house felt like our home away from home. We will definitely be back!!

Would Give More Stars If I Could!
You will not regret a stay at The Claire! It is even cuter than the pics! Our family of 7 felt right at home for our long weekend stay. Plenty of space to spread out, comfortable beds, nicely furnished. It is an older house but updated to feel so cozy. Everything was clean and fresh! There were so many little touches that made the place special: detailed, easy-to-understand instructions on everything, extra soaps and shampoos, plenty of plush towels, basket of welcome snacks, the list goes on. We had absolutely everything we needed. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, and we enjoyed walking to the beach one afternoon using the handy wagon that we found in the closet, along with beach chairs and towels. And the porch swing! So relaxing. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that we all loved this place and felt right at home in it! Tammy was awesome to work with! She is very friendly and responsive. The next time we are in Biloxi, I hope we can book this place!

Spectacular rental!
My stay was fabulous! The house was sparkling clean with comfortable beds, and had everything you could possibly need for a long term stay. My friend and I love to cook and really appreciated the large oven and outside grill. The location was ideal - one block from the beach, a variety of very good restaurants within a few miles, nearby stores and Casinos. Tammy is a great host and answered any questions I had promptly. Definitely coming back!

About the host

Hosted by Tammy Eakes

Host profile image
My name is Tammy Eakes. My husband and I have 2 daughters; one is in college and one is in high school. We are from MS, went to school in MS, and plan to live out our days in MS.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I purchased 145 St. Francis in December of 2021. Years before that, I fell in love with it the moment I saw it while driving my children to school at the Biloxi Upper Elementary each day. I would stare as I drove by and just dream of what it must look and feel like inside.
The first time I walked inside the home in November of 2021 I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and calm just as I had all of those years before when I'd ride by and stare at it from the outside. My husband and I are absolutely in love with the home, the location, and the beautiful live oak trees in the front yard. We plan to move there when our 2nd daughter goes to college. In the meantime, we want to share it with you!

What makes this property unique

Unique Benefits that 145 St. Francis offers include:
It is one of the very few Historic homes located less than 1 block from the beach that survived Camille in 1969 and Katrina in 2005. Large beautiful Live Oak trees adorn the property. These treasures also survived both storms.
There are very few historic homes such as this one that are available for rent.
The home is an easy and relaxing bike ride to downtown Biloxi.
The home is located within a 3 minute drive to Keesler Airforce Base.
The interior of the home still has most of it's original features such as hardwood floors, built ins, trim, doors, door knobs, etc.
The home is fully furnished and ready for you to enjoy!
