Quaint, quiet, cool & close. The cottage was clean & well equipped. It was in a quiet area when it was time to rest. The A/C worked great on a hot weekend! We were about a block from all the Ocean Springs shop’s & restaurants!!

Great cottage that is well appointed. Very clean and comfortable, in the perfect location to enjoy downtown and the beach. The only negative is the unevenness of the floors and a few soft spots. Would definitely rent again.

October Escape

This bright and cheerful cottage is well equipped and has the distinct advantage of an excellent location… literally a couple of blocks from town center and south beach. It’s very walkable which is important considering the scant parking in downtown Ocean Springs.

Cosiest Cottage in OS

Cottage is perfect size, backyard is small and cozy, street is friendly and quiet, all are a must to us as we travel with kids. I always enjoy the kitchen as it is always stocked with everything you’ll need to cook some delish shrimp right off of the shrimping boats that we usually just walk to (under 10 min walk with kids). Two thumbs up for our 2024 stay at Butterfly Cottage and we’ll see you in 2025.

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Hokenbrough

Host profile image
My daughter married a long time resident of Ocean Springs. They settled into a quiet life here on the Gulf Coast this past decade and invited me to come enjoy this wonderful little town. I fell in love with the relaxed life style and warm winters, but it also is allowing me to enjoy the cultural experiences of Walter Anderson Museum, Shearwater Pottery, and the entire historic Ocean Springs community. Front Beach and Fort Maurepas Park, ONLY 2 blocks from Butterfly Cottage, are just a few of my grandsons and my favorite places to play, ride bike, and relax. And at the end of the day, walking less than 3 blocks to downtown we can enjoy some of the finest restaurants and shopping on the Gulf Coast!

Why they chose this property

This cottage is easily at the center of all the activity and experiences Ocean Springs has to offer. One can easily walk to the center of town in one direction and to the beach in the opposite direction. Everything is very close and convenient.
