This property has a perfect location near the beach. A very short walk down the street leads you to the white sand beaches of the Mississippi Sound. (Beware of the jelly fish, though. My nephew found out the hard way! The water in the sound is very murky and you can not see the jellies, fish or rays that are swimming near you.)

The home is decorated very well. There was plenty of space for our group of 6 to feel comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, dishes and ice. All of the rooms were very spacious. Beds and pillows were comfortable. However, the bunk bed upstairs is very squeaky when you add body weight. Our 9 year old weighs 70 pounds and the bed sounded like it was going to fall apart any time he rolled over. That was our biggest issue with the sleeping arrangements. It was nice to have a full size front loading washer and dryer. The owner even provided laundry soap...although, we had already brought our own along. There were kites, beach toys and a couple of beach chairs for us to use.

When we arrived, we found that the home had not been properly cleaned after the previous stay. After contacting the owner, she assured me that she is no longer using that housekeeper. She also compensated us for the inconvenience.

As stated in a previous review, the house does have moisture issues. I imagine that the issues are worse during the very humid months. The owner stated that she is aware of the humidity problems with the home and she is trying to get them corrected. However, if you have mild to moderate mold or mildew allergies, I would probably reconsider this location for your own health.

While staying at the home, we enjoyed some of the local restaurants such as Steve's Marina (fresh shrimp and Po-Boys), Shaggy's (Coconut Cream Pie martini) and Darwell's (Crawfish Etoufee and Red Beans with Rice). They were all very good! We enjoyed the beach too much on our first day (sunburn), so we visited some indoor locations on day two such as The Busted Wrench Museum and Garage in Gulfport, Sharkheads, the visitor center, lighthouse, and Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi. Our favorite part of the trip was the ferry ride out to West Ship Island for a fun filled day on the beaches of The Gulf of Mexico. The water was crystal clear and gorgeous....despite another jelly fish sting!

Overall, we had a very nice stay at the home and hope to return to the area in the future!
