The house was equipped with everything you could ever want. Everything was super clean, and the house was decorated as nicely as anything you would see in a magazine. The host communicated extremely well, and you could tell she took pride in her property.

The cottage is perfectly located - easy to walk or golf cart to restaurants and shops but not to close to noise and crowds Decore is lovely and welcoming and most important comfortable. Even my little pooch was welcomed Nikki was accessible to answer any questions that I had. I would definitely recommend

This house was the perfect place for 3 couples to spend a long weekend. Clean, spacious, everything we needed AND 3 king beds! We rented a 6 seater golf cart for our stay, our vehicles never moved. I would recommend staying here and would stay here again.

The perfect getaway
We booked for a weekend getaway not knowing the jeeping the coast and the Bayfest would be going on. It’s close enough to the the beach and local shops to walk but far enough away to have peace and quiet when you are done for the day. We will be back.

Diamond in the Bay
This home is truly the most precious place I have stayed. It is beautifully decorated and so clean. The king beds in each room were a plus. The living area was very spacious and comfortable to hang out in with family and friends. The back yard is fenced in with patio furniture , swing and outdoor party lights that are so pretty at night. The location is so perfect and close to everything in town and the neighborhood was very nice. The host Nikki was so helpful and quick to respond to any question I had. She was so easy to work with during our stay . I will definitely stay here every time I come to BSL if it is available. Loved It All!!

This was our second stay at this property and once again it was perfect for us. It is very comfortable, in a great location, super clean and well appointed. The three kings beds are the crowning touch. We enjoyed every minute and highly recommend Castaway Cottage. Can't wait to come back.

Great Stay!
The cottage is very nice and in a nice neighborhood right near the heart of downtown. It has all the little extra touches that you don’t always see, extra outlets in the bedrooms for charging devices, tons of mirrors, and plenty of kitchen utensils. We had a great stay!

Beautiful fall getaway
we were two couples in our 50s who went to St. Louis to celebrate a birthday. The fact that this house had all king-size beds was a selling point for us. Communication with the host has been the best I’ve ever had with very quick replies to the couple of questions I had. look forward to staying here again

Charming Castaway Cottage
This was an impromptu trip but Nikki made everything easy & seamless! The cottage is CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN & has a cheerful beach decor with has absolutely everything you need! The beds were super-comfortable, the layout of the home was perfect with the den where everyone could be together to watch TV, but then go to our rooms (each w/a tv as well) for some down time. It was a typical hot muggy Mississippi week but the AC was 100%! Will definitely return to this lovely home in the future!
