We really enjoyed our stay at the house in Bay St Louis, Ms. Enjoyed the nostalgia of the place. Neighbor was nice and a close walk to the beach. My mistake, thought the pool was heated. Mary Ellen was just a phone call away to answer any questions about the house. Only thing that caught us off guard was using the oven it cause the smoke alarm in dinning area to go off. We opened door leading out to the screened in porch and that helped a lot. It was located to high on the wall in dinning area for us to reach it. Over all very nice place and we enjoyed our stay.
We enjoyed staying at this lovely home several times. The owners are very responsive to any requests.
Such an adorable, historic little house in a quiet neighborhood of Bay St Louis. Had everything we needed PLUS a swimming pool (bonus!). Beds were very comfortable furnishings were very beautiful and cozy. Huge front porch with rocking chairs and lots of great amenities available (bicycles, golf carts for rent… and lots of games and books inside too!). Great communication with the owner and responded promptly to all our queries. Just an overall great time and place!
Nice place great location.
The home was very charming and had lots of character. We had 2 adults and three kids ages 6-17yrs old and had plenty of space. Short walk to the beach area and the golf cart available to rent was a huge plus. We enjoyed rides into town on the golf cart to have a meal and enjoy all the great shops around Bay St. Louis. The pool was a huge plus. Mrs Mary was great and always a phone call away. We will be back!
We have stayed in this lovely house several times and always look forward to going back! And the owners are wonderful hosts.
We took a trip here for my daughter’s birthday. It was the perfect get away. There was plenty to do if we wanted to hang around in the cozy, charming cabin, it was walking distance to w beautiful beach as well as cute, boutique shops and restaurants, and driving distance for adventures in the Big Easy. The owner was so accommodating and welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed for the perfect family vacation. The pool was clean and spacious and the property was very well maintained.
We discovered the Mississippi Gulf Coast a few years ago. It’s the perfect way to extend a Florida beach vacation. Bay St Louis has become one of our favorite get away places. Creole Cottage is lovely. The location is super convenient to restaurants and shopping. The decor is so interesting. We enjoyed the beautiful pool, the screened porch and the sunroom. Tip: rent the golf cart. This area is undergoing so much restoration, it’s enjoyable riding around the streets.
Our family had a lovely time during our stay in this home. We loved that it was on the National List of Historical Places! Plenty of outside living area including a very nice pool. We enjoyed the closeness to the beach and town and were able to navigate easily with our golf cart. Would recommend this home to anyone desiring to stay in the old Bay St. Louis area.,
This was a great house in a great location. This was our first time to this area and we were pleasantly surprised. House was convenient to everything. Beach was family oriented and not crowded. Homeowner was great with communication. Highly recommend!!!
