We really enjoyed staying here! The location can’t be beat, just a short walk to the sights and sounds of downtown Ocean Springs. The house was beautiful and the manager was so helpful and easy to get in touch with. I hope we get to stay again!
The location was amazing and we will rebook in September 2026. The house was very comfortable and accomplished everything we looked for. Beautiful high end appliances and the backyard was enjoyed by us and our dog, Gemma.
Great location! Lovely backyard for our pups. Beds are comfortable and the area is quiet and peaceful but just blocks from lively downtown Ocean Springs. Kari was informative and easy to deal with. highly recommend.
This was the absolute perfect pet friendly rental. So convenient to everything. The host is so helpful and accommodating. We will definitely book again for our next visit.
Location is unbeatable. Walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, donuts, ice cream, playgrounds, library, and bars but far enough off the Main Street that noise is not an issue. House was great as well. Excellent backyard kids can play in and great front porch as well. This was our first time visiting Ocean Springs and this house is perfect for exploring all the city has to offer.
Spacious home with a large backyard. Close proximity to dining, shopping, coffee, etc. We walked almost everywhere! Host was also super communicative and accommodating, would definitely rent again for our next trip to Ocean Springs.
Host was wonderful. A small problem with a fire alarm battery led to a super sweet visit from a cleaning staff member who really brightened our day as well. Such a great location and house. Will come again!
Great location! The house is within walking distance of the restaurants and shops on Washington and Government. The beach is less than a mile away. The front porch with the locked gate was great. Our dog really enjoyed people watching from the porch. The host answered all of our questions quickly and was flexible to meet our schedule. Would definitely stay here again!
Everything was great, we enjoyed every minute of our stay. Very clean and peaceful. Loved drinking coffee on the porch and waving at neighbors. Walking to restaurants was fun. We plan to stay again and again.
Perfect home for families with small children. Plenty of parking, very clean with all the accommodations you need for a family with kids. Walking distance from everything including the downtown and park
Great location, walking distance to all the great shops, food, farmers market and church. Safe and quiet neighborhod. We had 5 ladies this weekend and we never ran out of hot water, towels or wash clothes. Shampoo, conditioner, and soap dispensers were a great plus! Spice cabinet fully stocked, even had crockpots! Full of natural light and simple but nicely decorated! Nice porches for gathering on front and back. The host always responded quickly to any questions. Definitely recommend this property amd we will be staying here again!!
This house is only a 5-10 minute walk from shops, bars and restaurants in downtown Ocean Springs. The house was nicely furnished and the appliances were newer and all in good working order. There were plenty of dishes and glassware. It’s an older home and we had a couple minor issues, but the property manager was exceptionally prompt and the issues were quickly resolved.

Mildew and Pet Smell and Overall NOT clean......
Unfortunately, we were VERY disappointed in the CONDITION of this property and highly surprised since all of the current reviews are positive. I did look and noticed there no reviews for the past few months. As we drove up to the property we immediately noticed how badly it needs to be pressure washed, there is green mold/mildew all down the side of the home. As soon as we unlocked the front door and walked in we immediately noticed a pet/mildew smell, it had the smell of a wet dog. The online write up about this home is LONG and has a lot of capitalized words to stress how nice this home is. I so wish that had been the case. The newly remodeled master bathroom with the mirrored dresser in the bedroom was not what I expected. The bathroom cabinet was old and still had items in it from previous guests. There was black mold at the bottom of the shower sliding door. The dresser was short, I am 5'9" and I was at least 2 inches taller than the mirror and my husband is 6 foot. The large rug in the master is very dirty. The furniture on the back porch was dirty also, I didn't even want to sit on any of the cushions without a towel down first. I went and bought Lysol and plugins to at least help with the pet/mildew smell while we were there. The poor condition of this home is what we were given, and we made the best of it. I did not mention the smell nor the lack of cleanliness while there to the manager, as it was New Years and moving was not an option.

We are so sorry that this was your experience. We would like to note that none of this was brought to our attention during your stay, so we couldn't try to make it right. If photos had been supplied during your stay, we would have happily offered a refund of some kind. As can be seen in the rest of our reviews, we take good care of our property and would be more than willing to rectify negligence on our part. However, it is difficult to secure a refund when complaints are not communicated during the stay.
That being said, we have addressed each of the items brought up in your review.
The rug in the master bedroom was old and did need to be replaced, so we replaced it. I am also embarrassed to say that there was a small spot missed on the inside of the track of the sliding door in the shower. Our cleaning team has been briefed on your complaints. For the furniture that was not to your taste, we will replace it when it becomes unusable.
To specifically address the concern about the dog smell: though we are a pet-friendly rental, I have checked our records, and the guest before you did not bring any pets, and the property was cleaned before your stay. We do not typically use strongly scented cleaners because they can be irritating. Perhaps the lack of scent was the issue. As you stated, you like the scent of Lysol and plugins, so we will consider having these on hand for future guests who also require scented spaces.
As for the outside of the house, we have the house pressure washed each month. However, unfortunately, we are located in a humid climate, and the green on the outside of the house is difficult to combat. In favor of keeping our prices as low as possible, we have not added extra pressure washings to our upkeep. We will be repainting the outside of the property this summer, though. You also mentioned that the outdoor furniture was dirty. Though the outdoor furniture is regularly cleaned, unfortunately, we are also unable to prevent the elements that our outdoor furniture is exposed to.
Finally, we are reviewing the listing to ensure there are no mistakes. We will also do our best to make it more concise. It was mentioned that there are no other recent reviews, and the reason for this is not that there are no recent reviews for this property; it is that our property is listed on multiple sites, and VRBO is not our primary source of bookings. Thank you for the feedback.
Absolutely loved EVERYTHING about our stay! Great location, very comfortable home, loved the back yard area and just overall totally satisfied! Will definitely

This is a great property. Very close to downtown. The house is as described. We had plenty of room to stretch out. Our pups enjoyed having the fenced backyard.

About the host
Hosted by Dani Zwerg
The owner was born and raised in Ocean Springs. He wishes to share his love of Ocean Springs and the local area with visitors to the area. I, Dani, the property manager, was also born and raised in Ocean Springs and am happy to share recommendations of all my favorite places to go in our little town. I love where I'm from, and I love showing guests how awesome Ocean Springs is.
Why they chose this property
This location is perfect, just a block from downtown and only a few blocks from the beach. And it is in the part of town of with the well-preserved historical houses and cottages which gives Ocean Springs its character and charm and laid back atmosphere; a step back in time.
What makes this property unique
The Stroll Home is truly unique - there is no other like it! It is nestled in the heart of downtown OS with a huge, completely fenced-in backyard full of giant oak trees and a pecan tree that provides a perfect escape into nature. It also has an old bomb shelter, cellar, and/or possible sauna at one point with a stove inside for those who are brave enough to venture into it. The kitchen is unique, with bright blue kitchen tile for the counters and backsplash, with local Shearwater Pottery tiles incorporated into the design, giving it a very coastal, local look and feel. The house is painted with historical colors approved by the local historical society. It has all of the original pully-style windows, some original solid doors, and key locks. It has been remodeled on the inside with a coastal look and design and artwork to accent its uniqueness. It is where Old Southern Charm meets up with Ocean Springs' new-school nightlife.
