Cozy Cottage with awesome views.
We went for a weekend getaway and the cottage was perfect. The view of the water was so peaceful. The host made sure we had everything we needed. The muffins and snacks were perfect. We will be back.

Mardi Gras escape
What a beautiful hidden gem! This cozy cottage is so close to downtown yet seems so far away. With great views of the water. We enjoyed walks along the path through the live oak trees down to the pier. You can see beautiful sunsets and at night an amazing view of the city light across the sound.We will definitely be back!

Weekend getaway
What a perfectly situated and quaint property this was. It felt like home. To wake up every morning with the view of the water and just the property itself was well worth it. It’s very close to government Street but yet far enough a way to have some isolation from the traffic. I would highly recommend this property.

Bayside Cottage
My wife and I had a lovely four-day stay at the Shearwood Cottage overlooking Biloxi Bay in Ocean Springs. This cottage was cozy, comfortable, quiet, and very clean. We were impressed by the attention to detail that went into the construction and maintenance of this cottage, like small stained glass windows in walls and original paintings and other art work. The owners were easy to work with and even stopped by upon our arrival to see if we had any questions. We will definitely try to return the next time we visit Ocean Springs.
