Wonderful Stay!

We had such a great stay. The location of the house is perfect. You can walk to all of the restaurants in old Bay St Louis and the beach. All of the other restaurants that we love in neighboring towns are just a short drive away. Mary Ellen was great and went out of her to make sure we had everything we needed.

Wonderful House VERY cold shady pool

Stayed Memorial Day weekend for a girls getaway. Houses is beyond what we expected. It is everything as described, very clean, no hidden negative surprises. All beds are super comfy. Love the huge soft blankets we used to cuddle on the couch with. It is a 6 minute walk to the beach. We walked to get yogurt. It has several Antiques shops very close to house. There are several nice bikes at the house to use, although we did not. There is a bar you can sit outside and listen to live music from the front porch (you can see the bar from the porch), like we did or the deck in the back. The also have an ice cream shop that is attached to the front of the bar. The pool although, was a huge disappointment. It is in no way in bad shape, just surrounded by huge trees and it stays shady, which makes the water very cold. We wanted to stay in the pool, but we were able to swim maybe 1 hour the whole 3 days we were there. Maybe when the weather is over 100 degrees will the water warm up, but as long as there is shade, I really don't think it will. Would love to hear from visitors who stayed later in the year, closer to July or August. Would love to stay again, but maybe weather needs to be warmer than it was.

What a wonderful stay!

We loved our week in Bay St Louis. Citrus Cottage was a perfect fit for us. Mary Ellen welcomed us on arrival day & helped out with the golf cart rental. The place was immaculate..just as the listing said it would be. It was so refreshing to have enjoyable and/or walkable access to Old Town’s dining and shopping venues. We WILL be back.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Ellen Warner

Host profile image
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 Citrus House.
