Butterfly Cottage is the perfect place for your trip to Ocean Springs or the surrounding area. It is sunny and bright with everything you'll need. An adorable, well-equipped kitchen allowed us to make coffee and breakfast for a leisurely start to each day. We had a hard time deciding whether to sit on the front porch and watch the joggers and bikers traveling by or to relax in the privacy of the back porch. The hammock beckoned but unfortunately on this trip we didn't have time to linger there. Very comfy beds. Sparkling clean bathrooms with plenty of hot water with good pressure. The location could not have been better. We could have walked easily to downtown with plenty of restaurants and shops. Cynthia was extremely easy to communicate with and gave good instructions about getting into the cottage as well as what to do when we left. The listing description and pictures are very accurate. My only complaint is that we didn't have enough time to enjoy the cottage. We had a wedding in Pascagoula so were bouncing back and forth most of the weekend. Hillyer House is a fabulous gift shop/gallery right on Washington Ave. Down a couple of blocks you'll find the Walter Anderson Museum of Art. While you're there, consider buying a Gulf Coast Museum Pass which gives you entrance to 8 museums for $35--a great deal. We visited the Maritime & Seafood Industry Museum in Biloxi for the first time and it's fascinating. We also spend some time at the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art in Biloxi and the Visitor's Center. We had lunch at the Government St. Grocery--fabulous burgers and cold beer. The Bayview Gourmet restaurant has a great brunch with lots of choices of various eggs benedicts, omelets and quiches as well as regular breakfast food. Watch the sun set over the bayou at McElroys and check out their chargrilled oysters. So much to do and so many great places to eat and shop in Ocean Springs and you can walk to most of them from the Butterfly Cottage. My husband and I loved our stay here and we will definitely be back. We definitely recommend it. Thanks Cynthia for sharing your vacation home!
