Beach house

We loved our stay, the house had plenty of room for all us. We loved that the house was close to everything but yet was secluded and quiet. The host were great to deal with on everything, if we plan a trip down there again this is where we would stay.

Loved our stay!

Property is very clean and well taken care of. The yard is huge, and the area it's in is very family friendly. Owner was a pleasure to work with; she responded quickly to emails and texts, and was readily available if needed. If we were to visit the Biloxi area again, we would definitely book here again.

Perfect!

This property was perfect for our stay in Long Beach. Birds & Blooms is very roomy, clean, and has a very well stocked kitchen and plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets. The location is very convenient to the Sportsplex and was the perfect place to stay for a weekend softball tournament. Nancy is so quick to respond and helpful!! We will definitely book here for future visits.

The house is in a safe quiet neighborhood that’s close to the beach, Walmart, and good restaurants. It was clean and had everything we needed. The kids enjoyed playing in the front and back yards. It’s 100 years old, so not perfect, but very comfortable and cozy. We had one small issue that was very promptly addressed. I recommend this house for large families.

Great old style Vacay spot!

If you loved staying at grandma's house, this is for you! Yes, it's old, but so unique and some great qualities. Super hot water with lots of water pressure, big private yard and plenty of outside covered sitting area. Easy parking for trucks and boats. Yes, I mean plural. It's also updated with new w/d, smart tv's everywhere, and plenty of sitting areas. AC worked great, host was quick to answer and was over accommodating a request. Family of 8 was never crowded. Top pick for us!

Pictures and description deceiving

House is very old and has a musty smell.House has not been updated in years if not ever. Host was easy to communicate with but was not forthcoming about condition of the house. She did send a welcome letter a day before check-in explaining that the house’s foundation slopes causing the floors to have a slope as well.

Our Winter Respite

We stayed at this great home during our semi annual trip to the beautiful gulf. Our stay was only marred by one negative and I will save that till last so that my entire review will be read. We found the home very comfortable, fully furnished, and with all the essentials to move in and live very comfortably. All that was needed was our clothes and a toothbrush as all else was provided. I would highly recommend this spacious home, with privacy and plenty of land for whatever type of getaway desired. There was only one negative that I have to inform you of, and that was the terrible weather. However, I am certain that the owner was not responsible. Rick & Paula Golding Tennessee.

Good house, great location

Pros: We really enjoyed our stay visiting family on the coast. My kids really enjoyed the bunk beds. The pillows and mattresses are great and allowed us to sleep great while away from home. The house was well stocked with kitchen items and bathroom towels and wash rags were well provided. My kids loved the variety of things to do outside, especially the mini trampoline. My kids are 7, 5, and 2. We had plenty of space and a great time. Cons: There are a few things that could be improved: the venthood is just awfully low. (To Nancy's credit, she mentions this in her guest book log.) The curtains/drapes could be better, especially on the front (bunk) bedroom and the one before the master. We were able to rig something up to help with too much light, though. The other thing is that some sort of alarm clocks should be placed in rooms. I don't like relying on my phone at night to see what time my kids wake up. The street noise is a loud during the day, but by night time, it was no big deal. Overall, I'd definitely recommend the house and will probably stay again in the future.

Pretty good lil house had plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed our stay there. Just need some touch up on some stuff an a new Grill. We didn't use it bc it was full of junk. Some of the TV's in bedrooms we couldn't watch bc everything wasn't there. For the most everything was good deal.

Perfect spot to hide away

We just wanted to hide away somewhere warm this Thanksgiving with our close family. And Birds and Blooms was perfect that! With the nice long yard the kids age 6-16 could play without worry and us adults could sit and visit outside. We used the beach toys on our multiple visits to the beach! And cooked a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen. If we ever want to hide away in Long Beach again this is the place we will hide away at!!

Cruising the Coast

I will start with check in: PM was slow to respond. House was very non-handicapped accessible. Bathrooms were old and out dated, main bathtub had a missing handle on the cold water. Both had child size toilets and not set up with an handicap accessories. Towels were old and worn. I use better towels to wash my cars! Though stated, there were no instructions on how to operate the TVs in the house and several of the remotes had dead batteries . We never figured out how to watch local TV to monitor the hurricane coming to the coast. The bedrooms were at best poor, The beds were old and worn out, Linens were also old and thin. Curtains were not enough to keep the lights from the businesses next door out at night. In one of the bedrooms the ceiling fan was missing one of the chains so it was fan with light on or no fan at all. The kitchen was only used to make coffee in the morning but everything seemed to work. There were burned out bulbs through out the house and switches everywhere, some that didn't seem to turn anything on or off. Front porch light was burned out. On the good side, there were no bugs but there was a big green lizard in the dining room on the window above the AC unit that had one of the grills missing. The main AC unit worked well. Kitchen was stocked with coffee supplies. Bottom line, the house was livable but not what was expected for the price charged. Would not stay there again.
