Great place to stay especially for the fishermen. Having a boat launch and a dock to tie up to are a win win. Plan to come back in the future

Wonderful private home.

Great vacation home. We vacation in this area every year and had a wonderful time. The house had great amenities for our 8 guests. The boat dock and small ramp was perfect for jet ski trailer. We had a 25 foot trawler tied to dock with no problems. Host was wonderful. Would definitely stay again. Best house for the money ive stayed in since booking this trip 8 years in a row.

Our family had the best stay at Cajun Cottage in Ocean Springs! We came to town for a wedding and this home was the perfect gathering place. The views were absolutely beautiful — peaceful marshes, gorgeous sunsets, and plenty of room for everyone to relax. The kitchen quickly became our favorite spot, filled with humming, laughter, and lots of cooking together.The kids loved fishing off the dock, and even our toddler had the best time exploring the property and playing on the breezeway. The house itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and the bedding was so comfortable after long days spent outdoors. The owner was incredibly accommodating and quick to respond to any questions or concerns, which made our stay even more enjoyable.We made so many special memories at Cajun Cottage and would love to come back again — it truly felt like a home away from home!

Response from VrboOwner on 11 July 2025
Thank you so much for using the Bayou Bell. The lighting in the back turned out to be a little more of a challenge than I thought. I’m sorry I couldn’t get them lit for the first night you were there. I hope you enjoyed them the rest of your visit.
