Great get away- close to everything

The owners were so accommodating and easy to communicate with! The location gave us peace and quiet with super easy access to the beach (public access with restrooms and shelter at the end of the street), walkable proximity to a park with ducks, and another park with a playground!

Beautiful week at The Bay!

The pictures on vrbo don't do this house justice. It was lovely, very comfortable, and had everything we possibly could have desired! The owners were easy to contact and friendly. We have been coming to Bay St. Louis for several years and look forward to many more!

The very BEST Stay in the most precious home!!

Our family had an unbelievable time and stay in this previous home in Old Towne! It was perfect for my husband and I and our 4 boys! It was incredibly clean, Mario responded immediately to every question! It was close to the beach and a golf car rental was quick and easy! This was the best VRBO we have ever rented and We will absolutely be back!

Couldn’t ask for anything more

We absolutely looooved this place! My wife, baby, and I stayed here for 2 nights and it was absolutely perfect. We were close to everything, the house was beautiful, and it left us wanting to come back. Some main things I loved about the house - Excellent location - beautifully decorated - well stocked and set up (even had phone chargers) - great layout - excellent front and back porches - perfect for dogs (wish I brought mine) - and just a nice homey feel. You can tell the owners stay here too because everything is very well set up and accommodating Definitely coming back as soon as possible

Great house!

Terrific house that is super clean and well appointed. Host made sure there are iPhone phone and watch chargers thoughtfully located throughout. We used the grill and ample charcoal and lighter fluid was provided. We took our puppy who enjoyed the yard, doggie door, dog wash outside, food and water bowls, and even a doggie bed. Our hosts were super and made our trip seamless and peaceful.

Home Away From Home

Very clean home with beautiful decor. Backyard BBQ and great yard for dog. No problems except for the inability for my devices to pair with their tv so we could watch evening movies. Need directions for internet as it can be very frustrating. Waveland beach was the best in area, very clean and plenty of waves. We were there in off season so travelers should be aware of the shortened time frame to eat in downtown area...if you're not there by 8pm, forget it. Close to a variety of activities and restaurants. It is walkable to beach for younger folks, but a bit long for over 60 but there's plenty of places to park for free. A great time. We would like to return at some point.

Serenity Now was just that...with a lot of celebrating

Our weekend stay at Serenity Now was perfect. We celebrated our 15 year old's birthday weekend with friends, and the house and location was everything we needed. The house was outfitted with outdoor fun - cornhole and ping pong, super easy walk to the beach, short ride to the downtown area with shopping, restaurants, coffee and ice cream, and we rented a pontoon boat along the way. The house had phone chargers in every room, tvs, the cutest back patio, sufficient off street parking, a comfortable living space, loaded kitchen with all that you need, and a '10 out of 10' from the teenagers. Communication with the owners was prompt and allowed for an early check-in, and we couldn't have been more pleased and happy with our choice for a rental. We can't wait to return, and we will definitely rent again. Thank you for providing the perfect home for our weekend celebration and escape.

Perfect beach weekend

This was our second stay here and it works perfectly for my family. Great location - easy to get to the beach, dinner, and music. The house has all the amenities- anything we needed was there. We especially love the china - we’ve been inspired to get ours out and use it! The hosts are great and respond quickly to any questions. We rent our golf carts from Bay St Louis Golf Carts - they deliver and pick up and are also great to work with! Thanks for having us!

Perfect place for a long weekend

I booked this house after I realized a previous booked place was in a less desirable part of BSL. So glad because this place was perfect. Cleanliness- this is most important to me and the house could not have been any cleaner. I’d love for their cleaning crew to come to my house! Amenities - the house had everything, including phone and Apple Watch chargers. There wasn’t anything missing that made us think “I wish they had…”. The back yard is super private. Never wondered if we were being watched. Location - less than two blocks from the beach. We rented a golf cart but could have easily walked to restaurants and shopping 10/10 recommend. Would stay here again. .

Charming Cottage, Great Location!

Overall this was a wonderful property and as advertised. Lots of charm and little details, and great for bringing along your furry family members. Only reason we didn't give a 5 star rating were a few little oversights including trash in one of the bathrooms, ice maker didn't work, overgrown grass in the back, etc. But not enough to overshadow the positives!

Convenient and comfortable

Great location within walking distance to the beach, restaurants. Just around the corner is the folk art museum of Alice Mosely (worth the time). House is dog friendly and fenced (for medium sized dogs, little dogs can get out). Beds are super comfortable. Kitchen is well supplied for home cooking. This trip is our second time to stay here and will do so again. Mario is a great host!

Spring get-away

Cute cottage. Roomy. Great fenced yard for our pups. Great parking area. We brought our trike in its trailer to ride the coast and there was plenty of room to unload and park safely within the privacy fence. Definitely recommend to others. Will be our go-to next trip if available.
