Bayside Bungalow | Steps to Beach & Old Town | Pet Friendly + Beach Views!

šŸ–ļø Welcome to Bayside Bungalow – Your Pint-Sized Paradise by the Sea! 🐚

Tucked just a few sandy steps from the sparkling shores of Bay St. Louis and the storybook charm of Historic Old Town, Bayside Bungalow is a breezy little beach haven bursting with character, comfort, and coastal vibes. Whether you're on a romantic retreat, flying solo, or packing light for a getaway with your favorite plus-ones (pets included!), this 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom gem is your passport to seaside serenity—with just enough room to stretch out and just enough whimsy to make you grin.

Inside Your Little Slice of Paradise:

šŸ›‹ļø Lounge Like You Mean It
The living room is a cozy dream with a leather chaise sofa perfect for movie marathons, mid-day naps, or dramatic ocean-themed readings. The ottoman? Oh yes—it’s secretly a queen-size bed in disguise. Because magic.

šŸ³ Tiny But Mighty Kitchen
Don’t let her size fool you—this kitchen means business. Equipped with a sleek stainless-steel fridge, microwave, dishwasher, and a 2-burner cooktop, she’s ready to help you whip up anything from beachy brunches to candlelit dinners (just, you know, skip the Thanksgiving turkey—there’s no oven). We’ve stocked it with all the essentials: wine glasses, coffee mugs, cookware, and a Keurig for that life-saving morning brew.

šŸ›ļø Dreamy Sleepy Cove
The bedroom features a cozy queen-size bed that practically begs for late mornings and early nights. There’s an armoire for all your flip-flops, sundresses, and maybe one pair of jeans (just in case).

🚿 Shower Sparkle Zone
A spa-like bathroom awaits with a walk-in shower, LED mirror (hello perfect lighting!), and built-in towel nooks that say ā€œtreat yourself.ā€

Your Beachy Backyard Bliss:

šŸŒ… Screened-In Sunset Sanctuary
Step out onto your private deck and enjoy ocean breezes without the bugs. Dine alfresco at the teakwood table, sip something chilled at the bar table, or kick back and watch the sky turn every shade of wow during sunset.

šŸ”„ Fire Pit & Friendships
As night falls, gather ā€˜round the fire pit under a canopy of stars, toast marshmallows, share stories, and bask in that sweet coastal glow.

šŸ›¶ Adventure Accessories Included
Kayaks? Check. Beach gear? Absolutely. The detached garage is your personal treasure chest of seaside fun.

Fur-Friendly Fun
Bring your pets—they’re part of the adventure! We welcome up to 2 four-legged friends (no restricted breeds, pretty please) for a small pet fee. Just let us know who’s tagging along! **PLEASE NOTE** We have a 2 pet max and there is a $75 non-refundable pet fee per pet.

Local Color, Coastal Charm:

Just a short stroll (or golf cart ride!) from the vibrant streets of Old Town Bay St. Louis, you’ll find art galleries, live music, quirky boutiques, and all the shrimp po’ boys you can handle. Weekends sparkle with festivals, markets, and impromptu dance parties. Seriously.

Book Your Bliss at Bayside Bungalow
This is more than a beach trip—it’s a salty, sunny, soulful escape with just enough sparkle to remind you that life really is better by the bay. Book now and let the memories begin!

Outstanding Rental!

Great location! Wonderful relaxing atmosphere and definitely recommend renting a golf cart for a much easier transportation around the area. House even has a shed that fits the golf cart for safe keeping. Will definitely try to rent this location again!

Bayside Bungalow in BSL

My husband & I enjoyed our stay at the Bayside Bungalow in Bay St. Louis. The weather was a little cool in December to fully take advantage of the spacious screened-in porch and the outdoor sitting area around the fire pit. The house has offers a beautiful leather sectional with plenty of blankets to curl up & watch a movie. The house is quipped with a modern farmhouse sink in the kitchen with updated appliances. The bathroom offers a backlit mirror with a fog-less option and updated shower. The bedroom is big enough to get around the bed with two night side tables and chest of drawers to store your belongings. We enjoyed trying several local restaurants and bars, along the with Silver Slipper Casino over in Waveland. We hope to stay at the Bayside Bungalow again on a return visit to Bay St. Louis. J.A.

Great location

Perfect little house for two. Nice outdoor spaces with view of the Gulf. Walking distance to town and restaurants! A few helpful tips for owner/management: put lamps on bedside tables; add a 2 qt. pot to the only fry pan in kitchen; replace faucet in bathroom… spray too strong for size of sink. Otherwise, excellent stay and very responsive management.

Great home, great location.

Beautiful home, well stocked with everything you need. The screen porch was the best part. Large, water view, gulf breeze, and no bugs. Vacant lots on either side and behind make it feel less crowded and a bit quieter. The only thing this place needs is instructions on how to operate the complicated thermostat, the unique touch panel 2-burner glass cooktop, and how to work your way through the TV setup to actually access something. Every time I turned it on, it seemed to start somewhere different. Otherwise, I would stay there again.

Sweet little Bungalow

We loved that the home was less than a block away from the beach and a very short golf cart ride to restaurants and shopping. The house includes a wonderful screen-in area to read and enjoy our morning coffee. A special thanks to Kristin, the property manager, she was easy to contact and was able to meet all of our additional needs. Which is always a big plus. All and all the fit was great for our 3 day weekend. We will be back.

Great Beach getaway

Great place to stay. Location to beach and Gulf view from screened porch was great. Walking distance to restaurants etc. Bungalow was very cute and nice and well decorated. The bed was comfortable but the linens could be better and fit the bed. The fitted sheet constantly had to be put back on. The bathroom faucet is cute but not practical at all. The stove was inoperable and should be replaced if it's so difficult that it needs instructions it's just stupid to put in a rental property. There was no grill but it was mentioned in the amenities as was a spa/hot tub. Summers on the Gulf are very hot and the air conditioner was not adequate it rarely kept temperature and had to be cut down at night in order to keep a decent temperature during the day. The place is small so there must be a problem with it. We did enjoy our stay but when you stay a week these things became annoying. The fact that we had to eat out for every meal was not ideal either.

Hot

House was what we expected. Being a small house, it was well designed to utilize every available space. The screen porch was the best part. The only negative was when we set the AC, someone or something kept increasing the temperature. Not sure what that was about. In August it’s hot and to increase to 75 was not good. My husband has breathing issues so he likes it cool so he can breathe. Being on 70 to 72 it’s not so bad. I have an app on my phone to adjust my settings at home, so I’m wondering if the home owners has that too. And kept raising it up. Not sure but the amount of money we paid for 3 days should have covered the cost of AC

Amazing space for a (small) family holiday

For my birthday this year, I wanted to go to the beach in a quieter vacation spot, and my son, daughter, and 4-year-old grandson joined me. Kristin, the manager, touched base with me after reservation to make sure we knew sleeping was somewhat limited, so that was a good touch on management's part. The house is as advertised: small, lovely, and easy beach access. The bed was extremely comfortable (some of the softest pillows and sheets I've experience while traveling), and son and grandson said the couch was comfy as well. We all loved being able to eat out on the screened porch and get just a bit more beach in from the view (I think my grandson would have slept out there if we'd let him). There were plenty of towels (regular and beach towels) and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes. There was sufficient soap, trash bags, dish pods, and laundry pods Honestly, the only thing missing from the advertisement was that there were no toiletries, but we all had our own, so we didn't miss out there. We stayed for two nights, and the house will definitely go on my favorites list for a future mother-and-daughter trip back to the area. Bay St Louis is a pretty little town, very quiet and everyone we encountered was as nice as can be. The beach is extremely shallow for a considerable distance, which was perfect for my grandson to enjoy. We managed to squeeze in a trip to the Audubon Aquarium in New Orleans since it was so close by. All in all, a great weekend at the beach.

Not perfect, but close to it!

The cottage was adorable & just right for 2 adults. The location/proximity to the beach & water is even better than the pictures represent, and the screened porch is amazing. I would absolutely make this my regular spot in BSL! That said, there are a few things potential renters should be aware of - to start, there is not 1 single closet in the cottage. There is a piece of furniture in the bedroom which has a handful of drawers & a side with a hanging bar that I guess is intended to take the place of a closet, but it is too short & too shallow to be useful. The drawers do not stay on the tracks at all, so they’re not useful, either. I travel regularly for work & basically live out of a suitcase, so it didn’t bother me, but If you can’t enjoy vacation without unpacking, this will be an issue for you. This coupled with how small the cottage is…I’m not sure it would be comfortable for more than 2 adults & 2 small kids. It was good for 2 adults and would be perfect for 1 couple w/or w/out a baby or toddler, but definitely not for 2 couples. Also, the description indicates the couch becomes a queen size ā€œbedā€ with the ottoman…I’m not positive it’s as big as a queen - seemed more like a long double - and I definitely wouldn’t describe it as a bed. However, I didn’t find it uncomfortable to sleep on, and it would be just fine for a couple of kids or an adult who can sleep most anywhere. Finally, no toiletries & no trolley that we saw. Again, just FYI, all were non-issues for us!
