Discover the Secret Coast with us at Front Beach Cottages. Our charming Front Beach Cottages and private courtyard are perfectly situated within walking distance of both the beautiful sands of Front Beach and the many historic attractions of downtown Ocean Springs, including shopping, dining and more. Our four charming cottages are nestled beneath the large oaks of downtown Ocean Springs, and each features its own unique personality and design. Experience the spirit and fun of the idyllic island of Key West right here in our Key West Cabana. NOLA Cottage is named after our neighbor, the "Big Easy", aka New Orleans, and it is filled with French Quarter flare. Our Lagniappe Cottage has a vibe of its own, and it offers our guests "a little something extra". And, our most spacious accommodation, Bellande Cottage, is inspired by the creative culture of downtown Ocean Springs. Originally constructed in the 1940s and 50s as fishing shacks for locals, all of the cottages have been completely renovated and updated, while maintaining the original charm of the era in which they were built. Front Beach Cottages is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway with ample opportunity for adventure. We have creative options for accommodating larger parties, and we tend to stay booked up quite often, so make your reservation today and experience the creative culture of Ocean Springs!

Front Beach Cottages were delightful! We stayed in Nola Cottage which was spacious, comfortable, complete with kitchenette, and a bathroom with shower and soaker tub. There was a secluded screen porch off the back which added to the peaceful serenity. In addition, parking was separate from the backyard which accessed the cottages. If you wish, you can use bicycles and kayaks with no added cost. We washed clothes in the laundry room which made the stay even more comfortable. Bridgette, our owner/host was extremely helpful and friendly and responded immediately to any questions or needs we had. Plus, being on a back street with a short walk to the harbor makes Front Beach Cottages an ideal location for a peaceful getaway. Our daughter recommended that we stay here and she was spot-on. If you come to Ocean Springs, you couldn't do better than Front Beach Cottages…

Great location because it’s very walkable to town and water but it’s quiet. Plenty or space for a few nights of exploring area. Comfy bed, plenty of towels, good communication. Love a Keurig and little refrigerator and microwave in our cabin.

We really enjoyed our cottage and the quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Personal attention was given when booking and clear instructions on check-in. We requested a couple of items and they were furnished promptly. The quiet courtyard and other visitors were very friendly and respectful. Downtown art museums, restaurants and shops were all within walking distance as well as the beach. You can literally park your car and walk everywhere, if you choose. We had visited Ocean Springs in the past, but the two night visit made it really enjoyable and personal. We plan to return and have recommended Front Beach Cottages to several friends!

You can walk to beaches, restaurants, coffee shops, Main Street for a night out. I can't rave enough. The hosts are super reliable and responsive. The parking was off street and easy to use. There was a nice screen porch we enjoyed as well.

This place is like an oasis in a story book town. A wonderful atmosphere and clean pace to call home when out of town. There are plenty of great places to eat and many are dog friendly. The beach is clean and fun in the sun.

These cottages are a hidden gem in Ocean Springs. We stayed in the Key West Cabana. It was great to bring along our pup for the weekend. The cottage is awesomely decorated in Key West theme, and it has a great spacious outdoor area, which includes a shower. The neighborhood is quiet, and it’s a nice comfortable walk to the beach. These cottages are far enough apart to feel like you’re in your own little space. I am looking forward to visiting again.

This is an awesome little cottage! Very clean, cozy and nestled into a great location. The managers are great hosts and the cottage includes all the fun features that make a beach getaway extra special. We especially liked the access to beach bikes that were included in the stay. I would recommend without hesitation!

This was our second time staying at Front Beach Cottages, and it's absolutely one of our favorite places. The cottages offer a convenient place to stay where you can cook, unpack, and feel at home while also being at the beach. Front beach and downtown are both walkable distances. Each time we have stayed, our rooms have been clean and well-kept. The Manager is great to work with and always accommodates any requests we have. She kept us up-to-date on check in procedures, billing, etc. She's wonderful! We booked our young daughter's first beach trip and coordinated with parents/grandparents to all stay in the cottages. It provided such a great area for us to get together, grill out, hand out, and enjoy our trip. We plan to stay here again the next time we visit Ocean Springs!

A little gem hidden away in a private area. The owners are great. It is a short easy walk to the beach and a short bike ride to the downtown area. Great restful spot, shops & night life are available.

So nice to have your own cottage, side terrace, and kitchen. Well appointed and each with their own style. Management is flexible, efficient, and accommodating. Mittens the cat presides over his domain. Easy walk to town.
