Very cozy and clean! Excellent space to spend Thanksgiving week alone with just the two of us and our four-legged princess. She loved laying on her bed and watching all of the wildlife out the full-length back wall glass. We ran into the owners while we were out for a walk one day and the are very nice and genuine. Communication was great - all questions answered in a very imely manner. Ocean Springs is a wonderful town and we look forward to our next visit and stay at the Bayou Bungalow!

Host was responsive, friendly, and informative. We felt very welcomed. The Bayou Bungalow was a PERFECT stay for us! Its clean, angular architecture appealed to my mom while the natural wood accents and ample outside viewscapes were my favorite elements. Cozy, comfortable, and unique!

Perfect artist retreat

We had a lovely time enjoying all the natural light in this house. It’s situated in a peaceful area right by the national park. The back deck is perfect for relaxing. A red cardinal and butterflies came to visit us daily. The host was super gracious about our pets and responsive. We loved learning about Carroll Ishee and the impact he has left on the art and culture of Ocean Springs. Every detail of this place was a joy- down to the Pendleton mugs and blankets!

Lovely home tucked in lush surroundings

This is one of the nicest VRBO rentals we have stayed in. It's a great, simple design with everything you need to relax indoors and outside on the big covered deck overlooking bamboo plantings. It's very private though located in a traditional neighborhood. Close to East Beach. Everything you might need is provided. Look forward to returning.

Peaceful retreat

We spent a week at this charming bungalow. It was just as pictured and very clean. The bedroom and living/dining room are spacious and light. The furnishings are comfortable and there is ample storage in all the rooms for an extended stay. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and is just a short drive to the beach and the downtown shops and restaurants. Since it is nestled into a wooded lot it doesn’t even feel like you’re in a residential area. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the deck listening to the birds and watching the squirrels. It was a very peaceful and relaxing place to stay.

Good for a couple

It’s a great little bungalow for a couple. We had a teenager with us and there wasn’t really a place for him to sleep or extra linens. But it’s a cute place. We loved the back porch. We would come back again without any kids.

Quiet and peaceful

We had a fantastic time here celebrating our anniversary together with our little one. The hosts were top notch. On our stay we talked about how cool it would be to build something like it for our own. The area is lively with no shortage of things to do. We just were short on time. We will most certainly be back.
