“Great place--great people!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

We stayed 5 nights in the Bellande Cottage, and we loved it. It was very clean and well-appointed. The living room/dining room area was spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen area was also great--loved the gas stove and full sized refrigerator. The main bedroom (with an excellent bed) was huge with a full closet, small sitting area, and its own TV! We were only 2 people, but I can see how a family would be very comfortable. (The second bedroom is smaller and right off the kitchen.) The deck was private and very convenient. The location couldn't be better--close to the beach and downtown and a 500 year old live oak tree and . . . .But we've stayed many places where the accommodations were good to great (these were definitely great), and what turns out to be almost as important is that the people running the place are accessible without being pushy--Cathy and Jason were perfect. We felt very, very well-taken care of without any hovering at all. Can't wait to go back. (I could also rave about Ocean Springs, but that is a different post!)

“CUTE!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

NOLA cottage has a brand-new remodel with full-size fridge, dishwasher, small stove top and microwave. Very comfortable cottage with lots of cutsy decorations, sitting area, and back patio. Patio was nice when we had friends drop by, didn't have to sit on the bed. We didn't use them, but bikes, kayaks, and bar-b-que grill were available. Short walk to beach, which connects to a really nice bike/walkway over the bay, rumor has it that it continues for the entire 26 mile man-made beach. Also walking distance from downtown Ocean Springs with coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping. Friendly folks! Enjoy!

“Cozy cottage with upbeat creature comforts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012 via mobile

Very comfortable and thoughtfully appointed
Easy walk to the beach and short bike ride to the Washington st shops.
Best of all was the warm hospitality of Jason and Cathy around a Friday nite bonfire with other guests.

“Wonderful, relaxing....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 24, 2012

1st time to visit the gulf, perfect location as 'home' to see the area's laid-back spots. Quaint town, friendly atmosphere, inviting hosts. The Key West Cabana was perfect for our needs...well thought out layout and designed beautifully. But we spent most of our time on the side deck...when not at the beach nearby! Thanks Cathy & Jason (Monte, too!)

Room Tip: The Cabana is small; for couples, perfect. There are 2 other properties which the owners have/are r...

“Perfect Mother-Daughter vacation cottage!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 17, 2012

My 9-year old daughter and I spent our first mother-daughter vacation here this summer. One of the best weeks we've ever had! The Key West Cottage is small but functional and comfortable and just perfect for two. The outdoor shower is just plain awesome and such a clever use of space! Loved the decor too--Key West all the way. The innkeepers, Cathy and Jason, are so very nice, thoughtful and helpful. Not only did they leave me a really good bottle of wine but also provided our dog with a souvenir water dish and some tasty treats. The cottage is only two short blocks from the beach and they have a nice assortment of beach stuff you can borrow--umbrellas, chairs, coolers, sand toys. Being able to borrow these items really helped with our packing and allowed us to really enjoy the beach! I can't thank Cathy enough for including my daughter in a movie outing with her girls our last night there. Gave me some much appreciated "Me" time and us a break from each other! I thoroughly recommend taking a mother-daughter vacation and this is the perfect place to do it. We'll be back!!
