About this property

Spacious 3 Br Beach House, Only 1 1/2 Blocks From The Beach!

It's the location!! Adorable 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom house just one and a half blocks from the beach and Washington St. fishing pier. The best location in Bay St. Louis, with the beach in your view at the foot of the street, and walking distance to Old Town, beachfront, and Depot District shops, bars and restaurants.
This spacious and sunny fully-furnished house has a living room (with comfortable queen size sofa bed), a dining room with a long six-seat dining table, an enormous fully-equipped kitchen with new appliances, a sun room for your morning coffee with a table and four chairs, two large carpeted bedrooms with mahogany queen-size beds, chest of drawers and night tables, and a small bedroom with a double-size futon. There is also a pleasant front porch with wicker sofa, chairs and table, and a large fenced back yard with a patio, covered dinette set with umbrella, and barbecue station. This lovely historic house has intricate plaster molded ceilings and architectural details, ceiling fans in every room, central air and heat, and a newly-remodeled bathroom with a large bathtub. There is also a separate laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer for your use, parking for two to three cars in the driveway, high-speed internet and wifi, and cable television in most of the rooms. Convenient transportation all over town by the free Bay St. Louis trolley that comes by the house every fifteen minutes or so. You can also rent a golf cart to motor around town and along the beach.

Great Anniversary trip.

We booked this cottage for our 40th wedding anniversary and had a great time. The home was very comfortable and convenient to the beach. Loved the neighborhood and area. The owner was extremely helpful checking with us that everything was ok. She also gave us advice on restaurants in the area and what to see on a day trip to New Orleans. Would definitely book again.

Comfortable house. Great location.

Can't beat being a block and a half from the beach, which we had to ourselves most days. The house was comfortable and the front porch and back yard added to the experience. Karen was a great communicator and very helpful with any questions we had during our stay. Thank you for a great spring break!

Everything we needed.

The front porch allowed us to watch a thunderstorm come in and stay dry. Easy to walk to the beach, which we did every day. Was very quiet in town while we were there. Weekend picked up.

Cute home close to beach and downtown shops

Karen’s place is full of charm and comfort. It is a walk or short ride to shops and restaurants. You can see the water from the 2 blocks it is to the beach. Karen is responsive and easy to work with regarding your stay and details.

SlingTV and all the amenities you will need for a comfortable stay. Helps to have a great host as well. We will definitely be back for another visit!

Last minute vacation

We decided last minute to take a long weekend trip to the beach. This is the first time not having an available pet sitter, so I found this place that allowed pets. We loved it, the kids loved it, and our dogs loved it! Karen was very communicative and helpful with everything. I particularly loved the quiet neighborhood and location between Biloxi and New Orleans because we were able to do day trips to both.

Blue Crab Cottage

A surprisingly large space with a fenced yard in a nice residential neighborhood. Off street parking for 2 cars. Only a short walk to the beach and a short drive to the main drag with restaurants and shops. Really a very nice space! Karen was friendly and accommodating with suggestions and information about the area. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Karen!

Boho Beachy Cottage

We booked this cottage for a birthday weekend for our 99 year old friend. This cozy cottage has everything you will need: space, comfortable beds, nice kitchen and the most relaxing front porch! We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. This place has a lot of character and charm…… think Nostalgic Bay St. Louis when you were a kid…. We ate at the Thorny Oyster, which has never disappointed us and spent the next day in Ocean Springs. I don’t think you will find a better VRBO host, Karen is a doll, responsive and very informative of the area. I will definitely consider this cottage in the future and recommend to friends.

A month stay to escape the cold!

We enjoyed our second extended stay in the area. This was the first time at this home! Karen was very easy to work with. We got in to town earlier than expected, and she cleaned guests from the previous night to allow us to check in a few hours early! The home is larger than it appears, beds and decor were very nice! Fun listening to the owls in the neighborhood! Sitting on the front porch in 60 degree+ temps was great! We enjoyed visiting with Karen, and learned so much about the area! Great stay!

This is the first time we have ever rented a property for a short term rental and it was wonderful.

My husband is Captain Longbeard III for 2023. We needed a place to stay near all the action for Pirate Days in the Bay. We were lucky to find this quaint cottage. Just what we were looking for. The owner was easy to work with and very accommodating. I recommend this property to anyone who would like a place near the beach and all the action of old Bay St. Louis. The home can sleep at least 6 people. Large kitchen and bathroom. All the comforts of home. It's even nicer than expected and very clean.

Blue Crab Bungalow

This was our second stay at the Blue Crab Bungalow. My husband and I stayed here with my daughter, son-in-law and grandkids. We love staying here! The house accommodates all of us very well. LOVE the front porch. We sit out at night and enjoy a wonderful breeze. The grandkids had a blast on the beach, catching crabs and going fishing. Super location, only 1-1/2 blocks to the beach! Also close to Main Street, with nice antique shops and The Creole Creamery, our favorite ice cream shop. Local restaurants are good as well. You can also get to Gulfport and Biloxi easily from here. We are never disappointed when we come to Bay St. Louis and stay here. We are looking forward to next year already!

Surprisingly bigger than expected

The booking of the property and communication with the owner was seemless. Not once were there any awkwardness that is sometimes experienced with owners. The house is lovely, and without a doubt one of the better stocked places I've stayed. We didn't have to make unnecessary trips to town to grab little items one might forget, as if the owner planned, smartly to cater to those needs. The house is much bigger than advertised. The area is big enough to accommodate a large family. Or multiple couples. It sits on a quiet street, but close enough to the beach and restaurants that doesn't make travel difficult. The town is golfcart friendly, therefore renting one, if you didn't bring your own, is a MUST. The locals are incredibly friendly. The outside has a nice sitting area equipped with a gas grill and a fire pit. The area is fenced, to provide privacy and the yard has an array of different flowering tress and shrubbery. We enjoyed our stay, and will rent again.

Feels like home

My family really enjoyed our stay in BAL. The house was perfect for my husband and I including 3 teens. The house is bigger than it appears in the photos. It has a cute front porch and close to Gulfport and Biloxi. It's walking distance to BSL stores and resturants. We have a great weekend. Karen, the property owner was an excellent communicator and very responsive. She made sure we had everything we needed. We will be staying again and recommending this rental to others.

We really enjoyed our stay and could not have asked for a better place. The house is beautiful, clean, cozy and well appointed with everything you could need or want. We really enjoyed sitting out on the front porch while our children played in the yard. Karen was absolutely wonderful to deal with and incredibly accommodating. Best of all, the location is second to none. Steps from the beach and 2 minutes to Old Town. Look no further. This is the house for a stay in BSL. We will definitely be back.
