While Camellia Cottage has welcomed all guests, it has a particular appeal for couples who come here to celebrate life events, like anniversaries, birthdays, and even an engagement. There have been some great sister as well as girlfriend vacations created here too. It has become a respite for people needing to recharge while disconnecting from a demanding world.

The cottage is well suited for 2 adults and a 3rd adult is permitted but requires a 3 day stay. I cannot accept childrendue to the spiral staircase.


The cottage was created to be intimate, tastefully decorated yet comfortable, not fussy, with a new sleeper sofa with a gel foam mattress, and over sized denim chair. Upstairs in the sleeping loft is a king size bed with a deep memory foam mattress, that guests love. The kitchen is fully stocked with a full size refrigerator, cookware, gas stove and microwave. There's wifi, a large movie library and a smart tv. You will have internet access and a smart TV with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and hundreds of others through streaming.


Many of my guests like to travel with their dog (me too!) and I want to make sure the dogs have a good stay providing them with bowls, towels, a blanket, toys and a fenced in yard.
I would like to know if you are planning on bringing your pet in your inquiry, as well as the size and number. The pet fees, usually $50 depending on the size and number are donated to a local shelter or Gulf Coast rescue groups.

Guests often comment, 'This is even nicer than the pictures” and love the unexpected like a seasonal herb garden, easy onsite parking, and especially the privacy. The tin roofed cottage is nestled in to a private place, with live oaks, camellias, and magnolias. While, Camellia Cottage is very close to downtown and a mile to the beach it is much quieter and without the traffic. I keep a list of local restaurants as well as activities, and I’m always available for suggestions. If you like casinos and entertainment it’s just across the bridge in Biloxi and Gulfport.This is the place to stay to give yourself permission to be as active or lazy as you wish.

The cottage is located on a lovely street in a quiet, residential neighborhood. It is not used for a party house or large events.
The minimum age for renting is 25.
One more thing about the cottage to know is, it is a strictly non smoking rental anywhere on the grounds. Also, no candles please.

Ocean Springs is a multi award winning small city known for its friendliness, art, unique restaurants, shopping and music.

I am grateful to have earned over 100 five star reviews and urge you to read them and see if this is the place you are looking for. The reviews start over after 100.

Blue Skies & Great Sunsets,
Jeannie B. Bright

    We enjoyed our stay at Camellia Cottage. It was very quiet and secluded but close to shopping in Ocean Springs. Jeannie was a wonderful host and great about communicating and making sure our stay was good.

    Jeannie was the most amazing host! She thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and convenient. The bed is soo soft too and the location is quiet. We didn’t hear the train that ocean springs is known for. She also decorated the cottage for Halloween which was a cute little twist. There was coffee, welcome candy, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair dryer, box fan. You name it, she had it! We had an amazing quiet stay at the cottage for cruising the coast! Would definitely stay again! We also got to see a little bunny rabbit in the yard just another nice surprise at camellia cottage.

    We had decided to spend this Thanksgiving on the coast, and this was the first place we found that was pet friendly. Us and our Schnauzer Roosevelt thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Camellia Cottage!! We walked downtown and everyone was so friendly and most of the shops are pet friendly, which meant a lot to us!!

    The host was helpful and communicative, accommodating our shifting needs in real time, as this was a stop made on a cross country road trip. Also, she kindly offered us a late check out so we could opt to have brunch before final departure. Sadly we could not accept but her care did not go unnoticed! The bed was beyond comfortable. After 4 days of driving it was a welcome relief and offered restful deep sleep. All conveniences one might need were on hand. The place itself is tucked behind the main house and felt very safe and private. We were enamored with the sweet garden and outside decor. I would definitely stay here again!

    My daughter and I love visiting Ocean Springs and we had a delightful stay at Camellia Cottage! It’s beautifully decorated, cozy and so close to downtown and the beach! Comfy furniture and beds and nice big kitchen. Pretty fenced in yard for our pup with lovely birds and butterflies. Very responsive and thoughtful host as well!

    We absolutely loved our stay at the Camellia Cottage! Jeannie was awesome and provided us and our dogs above and beyond service and amenities. Extremely clean, cozy, and quiet with quick access to downtown. We had everything we needed and will definitely be booking with Jeannie at the Camellia Cottage again!
