We loved our stay!! It was an exceptionally clean home with all the extras!! Fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds with great linens, and a well designed floor plan to add to the comfort of our visit. We were in BSL for a wedding weekend and this property was ideal for us. Not only was it close to the locations of the wedding festivities but also close to the beach, shopping, and night life in BSL. Close enough to enjoy it all but far enough away for quiet and privacy. Our host was easily accessible and made sure we had everything we needed. A true joy she was!! If you are heading to BSL as a couple or small group, this is a property I highly recommend!! You will be happy here!!

What a lovely review - thank you so much! I’m so glad that y’all enjoyed your weekend in the Bay and we hope you come back to visit soon. Next time we’ll try to plan for sunnier skies!
This host makes it so easy and so comfortable to stay as long as you like. We were there for more than 2 weeks and hated to leave. Everything is about as perfect as can be. The home is beautiful, feels brand new and spaciously makes staying there just like being at home. Our dogs loves it there with the special laundry room gate and fenced in yard. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, so close to the beach too. It's an easy walk to old town center where all the excitement is. And, it's an easy walk to the beach. Rent a golf cart and you can leave your car parked. For us, this is definitely 5 stars!!! Thank you.

Thank you for choosing to spend your holiday with us. We look forward to being able to welcome you into our home again.
This was our 2nd stay at this property and we loved it just as much as the first time. The location is wonderful, and it’s a quick walk to a more private part of the beach that was ideal with us having our dog this time. The fenced area of the yard was perfect too.
This was our 2nd time staying at Life on Easy. We had another wonderful stay! Everything is as pictured and Lisa is quick to respond to any questions. We come to BSL several times a year and will book here anytime it is available!

Thanks for staying with us! We look forward to hosting you again soon.
The home was very comfortable absolutely beautiful and very spacious. The mudroom and side yard made it very convenient to take care of our pets. Great host. Lots of amenities. We would not hesitate to book it again. Very close to downtown Bay St. Louis. Five star!!
The house was clean, comfortable, and just as described. Communication with the host was smooth and easy. I’ve stayed here a few times now, and it’s always been a consistently positive experience. Highly recommend!

Thank you for spending Easter weekend with us! It was a pleasure to welcome you and your family back to Bay St. Louis.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Cleanliness is always my number one requirement when vacationing and this house was immaculate. As a designer, I enjoyed every inch of this well decorated house. It is in a quiet, peaceful area which made unwinding and relaxing a breeze. This was a completely new location for us to vacation and we absolutely loved it. I highly recommend this rental and hope to stay again in the future!

You made my day! Designing the home to be a place where our guests could relax and enjoy was a labor of love. Thank you for your review!
We had an amazing time at this property! It was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The outdoor area was great for relaxing, and the location was perfect—close to attractions but peaceful. The host was very responsive and made sure we had everything for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

About the host
Hosted by Lisa I.
We can't wait for you to experience what Life on Easy is like, and we are confident that you will fall in love with Bay St. Louis just like we did. The cottage was designed to be "coastal calm"... a break from your busy days where you can unplug (or plug in just a little bit less in the home's office!), grab a drink, and rock the afternoon away on the front porch. While you're at it, give a wave to our wonderful neighbors while you enjoy the Gulf breeze!
