A Charming Cottage in Historical Bay St Louis ~5 minute walk to restaurants

The Bay Breeze Cottage is a three bedroom, two bathroom home located 2 blocks from the beach and 3 blocks from Main Street in Bay St Louis. It is in the historical district, is walking distance from the marina, beach, piers, restaurants, shops, and bars. This charming historical home has the original floors, original bead board ceilings, and the original doors from The Mockingbird Cafe dating back over 120 years. This home's architecture is referred to as a shotgun house. Shotgun homes were built after the Civil War until the 1920's, and are believed to have originated in New Orleans, but are found all over the South. The Bay Breeze Cottage is decorated with a coastal feel with upgraded luxury details such as complimentary bath robes, toiletries, beach towels, laundry essentials, wifi, and satellite television. You can enjoy your morning coffee on the cosy, screened-in front porch, and walk to some of the best restaurants on the Gulf Coast. Bay Breeze Cottage is also held to a high standard in cleanliness. You will not share a bed with strangers here, because our duvets are washed before every arrival of new guests. The Bay Breeze Cottage is the perfect home away from home where couples can get-away or families can enjoy a wonderful family vacation. Y'all come and see us!

Beautiful home in awesome location
This property was perfect for our trip to Bay St. Louis for the 4th of July weekend. It was clean and well appointed which made our stay very comfortable. Guidelines for our stay were clearly posted and easy to abide by. We could walk anywhere in old town with ease. I would stay here for future visits and recommend it to friends and family.

Perfect Family Vacation
We had a great stay in Bay St. Louis! Heather made the check in process very easy, and she was quick to respond to my messages. The house was plenty of space for me, my husband, one year old, and mother in law and it was very clean. The .2 mile walk to the beach was great! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Stay!
This was our first time visiting Bay St. Louis and the town was so charming! The house was very clean and decorated beautifully. Everything was fully stocked. We were able to walk to Main Street to enjoy the restaurants and even ice cream a few times! We had a few questions before and during our stay, and Heather always responded promptly. She was a great host and we would definitely stay here again!

Great House,Wonderful House
We were looking for an alternative to Florida and BSL is it. The house was clean,and just as you see it in the pictures. It's a short walk to all of the restaurants,bakery and the beach. No need to drive any where except the supermarket. We are already planning to return next year.

We stayed here last year and loved it so much we came back this year and will be back next year too. The house is so comfortable and clean.Walking distance to the beach and the downtown restaurants. For us the only negative is the lack of cookware. Just needs some mixing bowls and a deeper pot for pasta,etc. Certainly not a deal breaker. Heather was absolutely wonderful to work with. Very responsive.
