Lovely, clean, comfortable and a short walk to town. Home was much larger than we were expecting also with plenty of space for us to lounge together in the living room plus a full dining room. We enjoyed our stay.

We had an exceptionally grand time staying at the Russell Cottage in Ocean Springs. It was very clean, the collection of coastal art on the walls was amazing, great books were available to read. The cottage was roomy and provided privacy as well as everything we might have needed to make us feel at home. The hosts listed local places of interest and recommendations for the best restaurants. We hope to stay there again.

Second year to stay here and just as great as the first year. The cottage is within walking distance of Washington Street and perfect for two couples. The bedrooms are in opposite ends of the cottage so there is complete privacy. It is furnished with an amazing amount of amenities and includes everything you could possibly need (plenty of books, toiletries, sunburn aids, kitchen condiments, etc). Absolutely recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this cottage, the location is excellent to downtown area, and the a nice walk to the harbor and beach. I loved having my coffee in the back garden, so tranquil and relaxing, the home was well equipped, and felt very comfortable, would definitely rent again, plus I was a woman there alone most the time I was there and felt very safe, even walking my dog at night. This is definitely felt like my home away from home.
