Lovely property ✧ Fantastic location ✧ Very generous hosts

We loved the location so close to the beach. The Shell House bungalow was lovely and comfortable, with all the essentials and lots to please the eyes. Lydia, our host, was friendly and beyond generous. She was welcoming and invited us to join her guests at a dinner party one night and encouraged us to tour her beautiful home. She's a gem. So are her rentals.

The bungalow is in the back of the property. It is not the pool house. The pictures are a little confusing. This was perfect for our group of four people. Very comfortable. Very nice. Very beautiful place right across from the beach, nice pool, covered parking area for one car. The only drawback was the refrigerator is very very small so you might want to bring an ice chest with ice, although there is an icemaker right outside on the patio. Would recommend!

We came in for a week long event at the Biloxi Convention Center. Though it was 18-20 min away the quiet home, inviting neighborhood, nice shops, and local restaurants were lovely and a nice draw to staying outside of Biloxi.

Wonderful place!

The buildings and grounds were lovely. The owners were very nice. The walk to the beach was short. There were lots of games and activities available. I don’t have a lot of reason to visit Gulfport, no family or friends there, but I would come back just to stay at this place.

Perfect winter getaway!

This is truly a beautiful location. I’ve been to a lot of beaches on the Gulf, but never the Mississippi coast. The Live Oaks, the beautiful beaches uncluttered by hotels, restaurants, and condos, the peaceful, calm vibe. This is the one perfect place to RELAX! Also, I guess because it’s so close to N’Orleans, there are lots of good restaurants with GREAT food!
