Beautiful Cottage for Quiet Getaway
This cottage was perfect for a relaxing time in Ocean Springs. It was beautifully appointed with local art, custom woodwork and charming hosts. They thought of everything you might need while staying here, including the delicious muffins that were provided on the first day. It was close to museums, shopping and restaurants. The view was wonderful and we enjoyed the pier. We will definitely stay again when visiting Ocean Springs!

Beautiful cottage
This cottage was about a mile from Downtown Ocean Springs but felt a world away. It is nestled in a quiet setting with access to a pier on the Biloxi Bay, which was a great place to watch sunsets. The cottage is pristine and has all of the comforts of home. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return for another visit soon.

Lovely cottage with gorgeous views
The cottage is lovely, set amidst oak trees with a beautiful water view. Homebaked muffins, along with other goodies, greated us upon arrival. We sat on the pier and watched the sunset. Owners were friendly and informative as to options around town. This will be our go to rental for our future stays.

Weekend getaway
What a perfectly situated and quaint property this was. It felt like home. To wake up every morning with the view of the water and just the property itself was well worth it. It’s very close to government Street but yet far enough a way to have some isolation from the traffic. I would highly recommend this property.

Ocean Springs Cottage
This was the cutest most comfortable cottage we have ever rented. It is equipped with everything needed for an enjoyable stay and the grounds were so tranquil and serene that you can’t help but feel calm and relaxed. It’s only a short walk to the pier on the bay where we saw porpoises on our first day and beautiful sunsets. While sipping our coffee on the porch we saw squirrels, cardinals, bluejays, a woodpecker and oddly enough a box turtle. It’s only a short drive to East Beach or downtown Ocean Springs. The bed was super comfy and everything was in working order. Can’t wait for a return visit.

Mardi Gras escape
What a beautiful hidden gem! This cozy cottage is so close to downtown yet seems so far away. With great views of the water. We enjoyed walks along the path through the live oak trees down to the pier. You can see beautiful sunsets and at night an amazing view of the city light across the sound.We will definitely be back!

Absolutely Perfect Experience!!
Our "Historic Biloxi Bay Cottage" could not have been more perfect! The property was lovely. Several times during our stay, we enjoyed relaxing on the private pier. The cottage is immaculate. Donald and Leigh Ann are attentive to every detail. The kitchen is well-stocked, the living area is so wonderful, bedroom is extremely comfortable. Be sure to read Donald's notes about the furnishings and art within the cottage. We loved Ocean Springs, and we loved Historic Biloxi Bay Cottage w/ Beautiful View! We couldn't be more pleased!

Ocean Springs cottage
My wife and I had a wonderful time staying at this cottage. The pictures did not do it justice. If you are looking for a private get away, then this is the place to stay! The communication with the owner was so easy. They were helpful in every way. We will be back soon! Thanks again for letting us stay in your cottage.

Bayside Cottage
My wife and I had a lovely four-day stay at the Shearwood Cottage overlooking Biloxi Bay in Ocean Springs. This cottage was cozy, comfortable, quiet, and very clean. We were impressed by the attention to detail that went into the construction and maintenance of this cottage, like small stained glass windows in walls and original paintings and other art work. The owners were easy to work with and even stopped by upon our arrival to see if we had any questions. We will definitely try to return the next time we visit Ocean Springs.

Great cottage, great location, great view, great hosts
The cottage is recently built, beautifully designed and decorated. Nice view of the water from the porch and a short walk to the waters edge. Host is friendly and very knowledgeable with local history and recommendations. Cottage is stocked with everything you need, plenty of towels and all the kitchen stuff you could need. You will not be disappointed. Nicest place to stay in Ocean Springs. We will be back as soon as we can.

Absolutely Delightful
We’ve stayed in many, many VRBOs, both domestic and international, and this adorable, quiet, little cottage ranks at the top! It’s set in a beautiful location and it’s even better in person than the pictures. Every little detail was thought of and provided. Homemade muffins, fire pit ready for a match, coffee, interesting books, and all the kitchen conveniences needed for a wonderful stay! The patio and front porch were favorite spots for us, as well as the comfy living room area. Don and Leigh Ann were very helpful with restaurant suggestions and hospitable in every way! We will definitely be back!
