Immerse yourself in downtown Ocean Springs at the Porch on Government Street. Newly renovated with a fully gated courtyard & multiple firepits , this warm and inviting one bedroom cottage allows a perfect retreat romantic enough for a couple ready to enjoy the night life, walks by the beach, or downtown yet comfortable enough to accommodate a family of three looking to experience the many parades and other family-friendly entertainment within walking distance.
The Porch is centrally located for quick walking access to the beach, shopping, dining, festivals, and galleries. The Cypress Suite consists of 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, a "tiny kitchen" with all you need to cook up some basics, spacious walk-in shower, organic spa products , access to ( by request) laundry and a yoga mat and beach chairs for guest use. The suite also features a separate living room which includes a full-sized futon sofa sleeper. Our tiny kitchen includes such amenities as a toaster oven/air fryer, Keurig coffee maker, two-burner plug-in stove top, and compact refrigerator with freezer.
There is ample off street parking available for guest use. All king beds are enveloped in sanitary mattress covers and all pillows have zipped protectors on them. We also are a carpet free establishment and all area rugs are washable! We have the most wonderful family that has lovingly cared for the cottages for many years and are industrial cleaners. This means we not only clean all units using the most sanitary measures , but deep cleanings and maintenance come with the whole package.
We use all organic spa products:
Farmhouse Fresh shampoo and conditioner
Farmhouse fresh body wash
Beekman organic goat milk facial soap
Terra Pure green tea hand soap
We supply makeup towels along with cotton spa robes.
We even have light scent diffusers hand made with our Porch line using lemongrass, eucalyptus and hints of lavender.
Our charcuterie boards are hand made by a local artisan with locally sourced food grade wood.
You will also find an ice maker, an electric grill on site, lawn games , books and games in our tiny libraries, a large outdoor dining area that seats twelve, and two fire pits in our shared courtyard area.
The spacious bathroom offers a large walk in shower , smart mirrors with lighted and fog technology , spa robes and high end organic spa products. We even added healing chakra crystals in each cottage.
Don't forget to tag us with your photo in front of our memory wall, and remember... Magic happens on the Porch.
We also offer add-on packages for firewood and Smores kits (including electric tabletop option with everything needed for Smores). Sound machines and blackout curtains are provided for an even deeper sleep.
*There are a total of four one bedroom / one bathroom cottages on site and completely fenced in, which make it the perfect venue for larger corporate groups, large families or reunions. All cottages reserved together can accommodate up to 16 guests.
The Porch was dreamed up by a former Publicist who took the best of her travels to New York, Miami and Los Angeles and blended chic amenities of the best hotels and paired them into cozy southern cottages. You will find magical touches infused at our properties such as bistro lights, in room fireplaces and outdoor firepits. A lighted memory wall for photo ops and nooks hidden throughout to invoke the imagination. Magic truly happens at the Porch!
