About this property

WALK TO BEACH, 5 BEDROOM, PRIVATE POOL,

This home is a fun, relaxing place only a block away from the beach. Everything you need to have a truly great vacation. Enjoy the beach, relax by the pool or ride bicycles to the main street in town (about a mile away) and visit the town green and local shops. Every Saturday morning is the farmers market with fresh vegetables, bread and flowers.
Fully equipped kitchen with everything you need. Beautiful formal dining room seats 8. Large table in the den seats 6 and table in the Tremont Room seats 6. Can seat extras at the bar and island in the kitchen. Great for large family gatherings, Thanksgiving, Christmas or reunions.
The Tremont Room ( or game room) is in the back. Named so because one wall is old lumber from Tremont, MS. These came from the owner's Grandfather's mill. The room has 3 sides of windows allowing the morning sun to shine through as you look out over a huge back yard, large swimming pool, goldfish pond and much more. The Tremont Room is equipped with air hockey and other small games. A pool table is in the pool house just outside the pool area. Large flat screen TV and a very comfortable futon that sleeps 2 along with a great table for playing cards or board games.
The home has a Cruisin bedroom decorated for the week long event that takes place on the MS Gulf Coast every October. A GMC headboard is over a queen bed with a flat screen TV and other memorabilia. Room darkening drapes are in all bedrooms for late sleepers.
Corner bedroom features a king bed with a unique antique headboard and flat screen TV.
Master bedroom and bath is very soothing with pastel colors. Great mantel headboard with all beach decor. Flat screen TV and French doors lead out to the patio and pool area. Great place to have a morning cup of coffee or quick dip in the pool.
Kids and adults will love the nautical suite upstairs. Features 4 twin beds, large flat screen TV and of course room darkening drapes. French doors lead into another bedroom with a double bed. An entire family can sleep upstairs. Charming spiral staircase is outside of this bedroom.
The piano room has a modern digital piano that can be played just as a piano or can play by itself. Kids and adults alike love playing the piano and sounding like a professional. Really is lots of fun!! All tv’s are smart tv’s with capability to log in to your favorite subscriptions.
It's all here at D D's By The Sea.

If you want a brand new perfect resort type place, this is not your place. But it's our second year and we adore the place. Very, very family friendly. Kids love the big bedroom upstairs. Neighborhood is so fun. Go walking in the evening and people are on their porch or riding their golf carts. We love the beach! But our kids never got out of the pool. So very easy to deal with the Walkers.

Friends Mini Weekend Getaway

I rented DDs by the Sea from Franky for a friends getaway. Our friend group is spread across the country and we wanted to rent a house big enough for us to hang out in catch up and relax. We enjoyed the property and having a private pool to relax in. The pool toys were a great addition and suprise to find during our stay. I highly recommend this property for large groups.

Beach Week

We arrived to a clean house and very easy check-in process. We enjoyed the pool and ease of reaching the sun and sand which were a block away. The kitchen was well-stocked with utensils and. Oil ware including a cast iron skillet and crock pot. The living and dining areas easily accommodated our party and the kitchen was large enough for several of us to prepare meals simultaneously. I highly recommend for families.

Great Beach Retreat

Overall, the stay was fantastic. The house is comfortable and well setup. The pool was definitely the highlight on the trip. Very clean, peaceful to just sit around and relax which was exactly what we needed. The beach is right down the road and we enjoyed that as well. Make sure you bring your own soap/toiletries but if not, the walmart is super close and convenient. I would definitely recommend this property if you want a peaceful beach retreat with a small town feel but having the options to drive into biloxi or new orleans super easily.

Family vacay 2023 - for the win!

Our family of 7 adults and 2 littles visited the Mississippi shoreline in July 2023 and being able to stay in this home helped to make our vacation stress free. The house was clean. The pool was great! Communication with the homeowner was also great. The departure requirements from the homeowner for us was also really nice as the list was short and made going home stress free, too. Thanks so much and should we visit the gulf again, we will definitely consider staying here again.

Our Family Stay

Our stay was average, because we made it okay. However, this is a beautiful older house but we notice these things; the night lights at the drive entrance was not working and the front was very dark. The house do not have many inside updates (example: bathrooms, living room, and patio furniture, sleeping room beds, etc.), and back yard sitting areas in need of pressure cleaning. I don't like giving bad reviews, but it's importance to be honest about our experience to help you make renters vacating stay enjoyable and wanting to return. Thank You.

Mississippi getaway

Overall, the house was fine. Did have to get use to areas where you had to step up or step down. Kitchen was well stocked. Bedding and towels were more than satisfactory. Did have some trouble with clothes dryer, but manager sent someone quickly to solve the problem. Several roaches made appearance by midweek.

Great house, pool, close to beach

Our group of 12 (ages 2-65) loved our stay at Franky’s house. We were an easy drive to the beach (it was possible to walk but we choose not to with the small kids because of a busy highway). The pool was awesome, and Franky had extra safety features that allowed us to keep the kids from the pool when needed. Bedroom setup was great with the upstairs perfect for a kid or teen hideaway. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had ample equipment for cooking, and it was very clean. The area was more residential giving us some quiet and relaxing vibes but plenty close enough to more commercialized areas with lots to do. Franky also provided some extras for small kids like a pack-n-play, baby gate, and step stool. Truthfully the kids would have stayed in the pool the whole time with a few trips to the beach if we let them. We did bring a pop up tent that worked well near the pool for some extra shade. There was also a big front yard for games. Walmart was just down the road for all the things that were forgotten. Thanks to Franky for letting us enjoy your home at an affordable rate so our kids could see the ocean for the first time!

We have booked this property twice. It is the perfect accommodation for a family vacation. There is enough room for everyone to have their own space. We will definitely book a third time! The pool is the biggest plus of all. The check in is effortless and the host is easy to communicate with. You will not be disappointed.

Family trip to visit son and family that is in the navy

We had plenty of room for everyone. However, the ‘pond’ out back should have been cleaned. The holes in the walls were a bit concerning. And the dish towels definitely need to be replaced.

Plenty space for our group of nine

Pros: Good location - very convenient to restaurants, casinos, and Walmart. Short drive to the beach. The host was quick to fix a small issue we had. Big dining room table to play board games. We appreciated the sand toys provided. Beautiful back yard. Cons: Several of us commented that the King and twin mattresses were too hard. The queen beds were comfortable.. The house was tidy but needs a deep cleaning (baseboards, floors, and vacuum between sofa cushions. A dead roach greeted us upon arrival at inside entry. The next day there was a live one there. Perhaps replacing weather stripping all along the front door would prevent roaches from entering. The teflon nonstick pans need to be replaced due to scratches. The metal pans were rusted.

Long Weekend Getaway

This house is outstanding for a larger group or family. Easily sleeps 8 and can accommodate up to 12 or so. Pool was outstanding and outside area is large and shady in places for any outside activities you may have. Inside is much more open than pictures indicate. Only one block from the beach as well. Great location. Already booking again for next year. Owner, Franky Hasty, is extremely accomodating and helpful
