Relaxing Getaway
Beautiful little cottage just down the street from the beach. It is very comfortable and quiet and was the perfect place for a Mother-Daughter long weekend. The reclining sofa was great for watching movies. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and feeling the ocean breezes. Loved it! Hope we can come again.

The Cottage was delightful.
The cottage was exactly as described and such a delight. I enjoyed my stay. It was so relaxing. The neighborhood was quaint and the people were so engaging. I just loved everything about it. The host had everything ready and there were no issues during my stay. I have recommended this listing to my friends and will book again when I am in need of a place in the area.

A great place to stay!
We enjoyed our stay here so much! The home was immaculate, and the beds were so comfortable. We really enjoyed the reclining sofa! The kitchen was well stocked - we had everything we needed and more. The location is perfect- you can walk to the beach, church, and restaurants. Grocery stores and other shops close by. Teri and Colin are the best hosts! If we ever travel to Long Beach, MS again, we will stay at Cottage by the Gulf - loved it!

Cozy, clean cottage
Cottage was very clean and check in/out was easy. Owner was very accommodating with pets. Snacks were provided. Cottage by the Gulf is a little misleading. It’s 3 blocks inland. TV service in the cottage was challenging.
