Vickie, thank you for your comment regarding the pool. We have been having some challenges with our pool service. We have been looking for other options & after reaching out to several businesses, we have finally found the correct person. The pools we have are clean, clear & very inviting.
I apologize for the disappointment. Sincerely, Mary Ellen Warner
It would be nice to have ice trays to make ice but that isn’t a deal breaker.

Barry, I apologize that the icemaker was not working during your stay. I wish you had let us know during your stay & would have had a serviceman stop by to see about the problem.
Thank you for the suggestion to have ice trays as a backup.
We stayed in the Guest Quarters on the second floor of this beautiful home. It was the perfect size, perfect location, what more can I say. Mary Ellen, the property host was extremely helpful and attentive. Would def stay there again!
Sweetest little tree house. Enjoyed our stay, cozy, clean and the pool was so nice. Mary Ellen was fabulous and quickly responded to every need! I would love to stay again.
This place was like staying at a friends home. The furnishings and finishes were amazing and the location was very private. Having bikes was a plus, once we parked we did not need our car the entire stay. Highly recommend!
My sister and I enjoyed staying in the Guest Cottage.
It had everything we needed along with having an interesting history, amazing pool and being in a great quiet location. Mary Ellen was friendly and personable!
Looking forward to returning soon.
A very comfortable & adorable antique place to stay, in a quite neighborhood within walking distance to the beach. It was a joy to have bikes to use to ride into town for breakfast or to the gulf for beautiful sunsets. The private pool was a bit cool but very refreshing on a hot afternoon.The kitchen could use a non-stick fry pan but other than that, everything was there & the place was spotless!

Bay St.Louis Historic Cottage
The owners are very nice,helpful and friendly! My sister and I had a wonderful stay.I love the historic feel of the house.The house was very clean and had everything you need! We were close to the quaint shops and restaurants and to the beach! We also loved having our own pool to relax! The pictures really reflect the way the cottage appears!
The little guest house was very charming and cozy. Perfect for a weekend getaway. The owner Mary Jane was so pleasant to work with. Loved the way she took the time and gave us a welcome call. Wish we could have spent more time there but we will definitely be back.
The stay was good. Very quiet neighborhood. Did not get a chance to use pool but very nice. Kitchen fully stocked with necessary dishes. Bathroom big! Only downfall for me personally is the stairs to it and step up to get into bathroom. Also living room furniture not that comfortable.

Spectacularly Relaxing
My husband and I stayed here over Memorial Day weekend. From start to finish it was a great stay. We loved being able to bike around Bay St. Louis. The house and grounds provided a restful and serene space for us to unwind and relax. Every detail was considered by the owners down to the great furnishings, linens and soaps. We are already planning our next weekend escape!

Thank you Kim for your kind remarks. You and your husband were great guests and very easy to work with in setting up your reservation and during your stay in the Guest Quarters. You all were very respectful of our home and that is greatly appreciated.
You all are welcome anytime. Thank you.
This was perfect for two people. It was a short walk to a pretty white sand beach with no crowds. We basically had the beach to ourselves late May early June. The upstairs apartment had a little deck overlooking a beautiful back yard and pool. All the trees made it feel secluded.
The cottage was beautifully furnished, clean and well equipped. The French doors and floor to ceiling windows create lovely views into the surrounding trees and the pool. I saw an abundance of resident birds, a family of osprey and quite a few migratory songbirds without taking a step outside! Communication with the owners was excellent.

Thank you for sharing your experiences in the guest quarters. We are big admirers of wildlife, especially in our yard.
We rented the guest quarters for extended family while we stayed in the main house below. This adorable apartment was perfect for our family who came to visit from New Orleans and join our little vacation in BSL. It allowed them privacy when needed but we could all be together for meals, games and family fun time. The apartment provided everything you would need and more. Just pack a bag and you feel right at home. Pool was a blessing during the hot July weather!

About the host
Hosted by Mary Ellen Warner
Mary Ellen and Bob are experienced vacation rental hosts. Their interest in developing property was born after Hurricane Katrina when they purchased a 126 year old creole cottage in Bay St. Louis, MS . They completely restored this historical "Biloxi Cottage" (1 of two left on coast). The Creole Cottage was placed on the National Register of Historic Properties.
It is now the flag ship of our small portfolio of restored luxury properties. Mary Ellen and Bob each contribute to the success of the rentals. Mary Ellen manages the varied properties and gives the guests a special local experience. Bob grew up in Waveland, MS & attended St. Stanislaus College in Bay St. Louis. Mary Ellen and Bob's knowledge and lifelong ties to the area and the people gives our guests a true local experience.
They share a special experience that reveals the "old world" charm, the natural beauty, and unique culture of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. After one visit we hope that our guests will appreciate this beautiful coastal area as much as we do. We welcome you to the Guest Quarters.
Why they chose this property
The owners return to the Gulf Coast regularly for rest and relaxation. They are pleased to have the opportunity to restore and preserve this historical 100 year old cottage, 'La Petite Cachette' (Little Nook). They love their home and want to share this restored piece of coastal history.
What makes this property unique
This Creole home is one of the few 'Biloxi Cottages' to survive after Katrina.The typical 'Biloxi Cottage' is a locally popular vernacular house that is typified by a gable roof, undercut gallery, and four bay facade with doors in two central bays.
'La Petite Cachette' is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This is a special property that seamlessly blends the history of a past lifestyle with the modern luxury of today. The 'barge board' bookshelves and hardwood floors are incorporated with the modern luxury of the private pool, WIFI, and flatscreens.
