The location is perfect for those who would prefer to walk to restaurants and shops instead of driving. I thought the place would be smaller due to the photos but it’s very spacious and comfortable. I loved the layout of the bathroom and screened in back porch.

We absolutely loved our stay and look forward to going back. Very comfortable. Kitchen well stocked. Close to the beach and old town shops. But also far enough away from the train and the bars so very quiet. I’ve stayed in bay St. Louis frequently and this is definitely my new favorite.
