We stayed over our Spring Break during the last week in March and had a great stay. I debated spending the extra dollars since there were other properties without the pool that were a bit cheaper, but I'm so glad I did. The soaker tub was nice after a long drive, the beds super comfy, and the decor homey and welcoming. We luckily had fabulous weather and though the pool isn't heated, my two little girls enjoyed the pool daily in the afternoons since the water warmed up nicely. The property is very much as pictured. It felt clean and well-stocked with games and activities for the kids. The outdoor porch is awesome! We ate all our meals outside and enjoyed roasting s'mores on our final night on the gas hibachi. The owner was quick to respond to my initial questions about the pool and hot water and other initial issues on arrival. The neighborhood is very safe and quiet and within walking distance to the Cypress Cafe, parks, and downtown. We drove into New Orleans twice (about 50 minutes) and I was so glad we choose to stay with the kids out of the city. Bay St. Louis felt like an imitation of a real town, very resorty, probably because it's all brand new construction and missing some of the local flavor I was hoping for, but the north side of town's grocery stores and neighborhood had a more authentic feel. The locals were very friendly. It was a great base to visit Gulfport (awesome children's museum and more authentic restaurants), area beaches, and New Orleans. We would definitely stay again!
