You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Walk to Government St! 6 guests, pet and family friendly, close to the beach!

The Agave House in Ocean Springs is the perfect place to experience the beauty of Ocean Springs. Come experience the laid-back atmosphere created by a community of well-preserved historical homes and cottages, only blocks from beaches and a picturesque harbor. Situated within walking distance of downtown, there is no better place to be. Being just steps away from Government St, you have access to culture, entertainment, nightlife, shopping, and restaurants, providing all the right ingredients for a memorable stay. There are so many incredible places within walking distance, so be sure to ask us for recommendations!

Are you here for an art festival or Cruising the Coast? Are you bringing a boat or a trailer? Take advantage of the 31-foot fenced-in part of the driveway, perfect for storing whatever you are pulling.

Want to relax, kick back, and be together as a family? Use the grill for a backyard BBQ and enjoy some fun times with family and friends under the party lights of the gazebo, and roast some s'mores in the firepit. Let your pet run free in the large fenced-in back yard. Or, enjoy the interior of our clean two-bedroom, one-bath home. Watch your favorites on the 43-inch Roku TVs or treat yourself to a relaxing bath in our vintage claw-foot tub.

Spread out in the bigger bedroom, which includes a huge walk-in closet and a large dresser with a mirror- perfect for getting ready for a night out on the town or at the casinos! The bigger bedroom is furnished with one comfortable queen and one double bed. The smaller bedroom is furnished with one double bed to ensure a restful night's sleep.

Take advantage of the microwave, oven, glass top stove, full-size refrigerator with ice-maker, coffee maker, and toaster in making your favorite meals.

Easy access to exercise is available at Freedom Park, located only one block away. Keep healthy during your stay by going for a walk, jog, or run on the modern track with a rubberized surface, work out at the exercise stations, or head a few blocks south and go along the sidewalk path by the beach, or if really ambitious, go over the 3-mile Biloxi bridge on the pedestrian path. If you have a taste for yoga or pilates, check out some of our local studios!

Ocean Springs offers a wide range of activities, including art museums, local lounges, sailing, festivals, and even ghost tours! Ask us about whatever you're interested in, and we bet Ocean Springs has something for you! We hope you enjoy your stay and come back to visit us again!

Great location. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Host was very good with communication and offered recommendations for restaurants. We asked for her recommendation for a breakfast spot and one that she recommended was Blue Dog Bistro. The food was delicious and got our day off to a great start. Would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved this VRBO! It was perfect for a weekend getaway with friends, small children, and dogs. The fenced in yard and dog door were great. The location was a 10/10–walking distance to many, many places to eat and shop. A family friendly beach was a 5 minute drive. The larger bedroom closet was plenty big for a pack and play to fit extra space for littles who need a darker space to sleep. Check in has been updated, and the host reached out to provide updated information. She was amazing too! Kitchen had anything and everything we could’ve needed. In a great neighborhood!

The house is in a very convenient location to the downtown location. It is little older home but has everything you would need, except a dishwasher. The A/C does a really good job keeping you cool. The beds are comfortable too. The property manager does a really good job with communication. We would consider staying here again.
