The Neighborhood:
A day at the beach is just one of the many options our MS Gulf Coast has to offer. Among all of the possibilities, here a just a few of our favorites:

* A 15 min walk to Jones Park for a fun day of splash pads and picnicking. Jones Park also offers scheduled entertainment including a Fishing Rodeo in July and an annual Festival of Lights during Christmas.

* In season, walk to the Gulfport Harbor for a ride on the Ship Island Excursion Boat. The excursion provides plenty of time for touring Historic Fort Massachusetts, relaxing on the barrier island beach, and beach combing. For more information visit https://msshipisland.com/.

* Hop in the car and you’ll find more fun with outlet malls, discount stores, golf courses and the Gulf Island Water Park.

* Need a night out? The MS Gulf Coast is home to a variety of night life opportunities including casinos, fine dining, and dance clubs. Hop on google for a quick search of "MS Gulf Coast Nightlife" to learn more.

Other Things to Note:
**PETS**

We love fur babies and welcome pets; however, pets MUST be approved! If you plan to bring a pet, please send an inquiry prior to booking your reservation. Let us know about your fur baby (size, breed, personality). There is a non-refundable $300 pet fee. This fee will be added to your pre-approval and sent to you for booking. We love animals and we want you to bring your fur babies; however, there are additional cleaning standards and charges from our cleaners for cleaning once there has a been a pet so it is imperative that we are aware that pets are coming and collect the pet fee. If you do not make us aware that you are bringing a pet, do not receive approval, and do not pay the pet fee, upon your arrival with pets you may be asked to leave with no refund issued or you may be asked to pay a $500 non-refundable pet fee. If you do not pay it, you will be asked to leave and will not be refunded for your stay.
