About this property

Welcome to The Oyster Shack! The Coast's cutest coastal cottage!

This perfect little getaway is just a short walking distance from the beach and a few minutes drive from everything the Gulf Coast has to offer! The cottage was renovated in 2018 with no expenses spared. The interior of the home expresses those eclectic qualities expected from a renovated antique cottage such as beadboard ceilings, heart pine floors, cypress cabinets, and stained glass windows. The home features two small bedrooms containing queen beds, one bathroom, a living area (w/pull out couch), high end kitchen, and delightful porches. The home is preferably placed in West Gulfport, south of the "tracks" as we locals say. This lends easy access both east and west along Highway 90.

The Mississippi Gulf Coast is a locale rich with fascinating history that has become a melting pot of culinary expression and regional customs. The intent of The Oyster Shack is to share the many joys of the Coast that my family holds dear with those that wish to experience the "Coasty" way of life.

NOTE: This property features a Ring Doorbell device located beside the front door. The camera actively records video and sound when motion is detected by the device or when the video doorbell button is pressed.

NOTE: In an effort to maintain the yard to the highest quality groundskeeping takes place weekly at the discretion of the landscape contractor.

We Will Be Back
A hidden jewel of a property. You can tell the owners did a great job at the remodel and upkeep. Peaceful and quite neighborhood 2 blocks from the beach. Can't wait to stay again.

Weekend getaway
The house and amenities were great. Exactly as advertised. Very clean and tidy. It was perfect for the weekend getaway for my wife and me. The 4 star overall rating is only due to the bed being uncomfortable for us (we are in our 50s). It was a little too firm for our comfort level. But it would in no way deter me from staying there in the future. I highly recommend the Oyster Shack!
