Cozy Living Close to the Beach – A Relaxing, Well-Located Gem

I had a fantastic stay at Cozy Living Close to the Beach! The home was just as advertised—immaculately clean, tastefully decorated, and stocked with everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway.The location was ideal: tucked away in a quiet neighborhood but still just a short walk or quick drive to the beach, with great local restaurants and shops close by.Communication with the host was smooth and responsive throughout, which made everything even easier.If you're looking for a peaceful retreat that's close to the action but still feels like home, this is it. I’d gladly stay here again!

Just as described and pictured

What a quiet and peaceful stay! Joy was a “joy” to work with. This cottage is nicely equipped and beautifully furnished. The nearby restaurants and recommendations were delicious! We loved drinking coffee and eating breakfast on the enclosed patio. If given the opportunity, we will visit this cottage again. Thank you, Joy!

Joy's Cute Cottage

Joy's cottage house was the perfect place for me to stay to enjoy my family, fun filled weekend in Waveland. The location of the cottage was perfect. Joy was a pleasure to interact with in answering my questions in a timely manner. The cottage was spotless when I arrived, nice comfy bed and treats/snacks left for me to enjoy on my drive home. It was a wonderful weekend with my family and Joy made my stay even more enjoyable and comfortable. Highly recommend a stay here. Great location, close to downtown Bay St. Louis, restaurants and the beach. Hope others will consider staying here and enjoy it as much as I did!

What wonderful space to stay in! Plenty of room for a couple and to have a couple over for drinks. Everything about this cottage is top notch: the furnishings, the kitchen, the decor and….the art work! The outdoor garden-entrance is so charming. All close to the historic area and Washington Street pier. We hope to return.Thank you Joy and RJ !

Adorable, comfy and quiet

We stayed two nights in this adorable spot. It's close enough to the beach and downtown Bay St. Louis to be walkable, but just far enough away to be quiet, even on Memorial Day weekend. The house is perfect for a couple--one bedroom but plenty of space and a little screened-in porch. Over the years, we have stayed in multiple places all over Bay St. Louis and will definitely be checking availability for this spot first in future.

Excellent choice

Would recommend this cottage. Cozy and clean with a nice garden area to enjoy as well as a screened in back porch for morning coffee. We loved the location. It was quiet, and felt safe and secure. Loved being able to walk 3/4 of a mile to the old town section of Bay St Louis to the shops, bars, and restaurants. Beach and pier were 1/4 away. Joy our host was friendly and helped with recommendations. Will definitely stay here again.
