We loved our week in Bay St Louis. Citrus Cottage was a perfect fit for us. Mary Ellen welcomed us on arrival day & helped out with the golf cart rental. The place was immaculate..just as the listing said it would be. It was so refreshing to have enjoyable and/or walkable access to Old Town’s dining and shopping venues. We WILL be back.

Awesome place and awesome location
We had 4 adult couples that stayed for Jeepin The Coast. The location is 2 blocks from downtown Bay St Louis and only 4 blocks from the nightlife. The home is very well kept with 4 spacious bedrooms and 3 baths. It was well stocked with everything that you might need. The pool was chilly however there is plenty of shade to stay out of the heat. We enjoyed it so much we are renting it again next year!!! Highly recommended!!!!

Great weekend
This rental was very clean and comfortable for 5 of us, my husband, myself and 3 college age adults (our son and daughter and daughter’s boyfriend). Beds were very comfortable and everyone got their own bedroom which was nice. Weather was perfect although too cool to swim in pool for us. Perfect location in Old Town, we walked everywhere day and night to restaurants, shops etc. Having enough bikes for everyone that came with the house was a great touch! Home is well appointed for necessities for cooking large meals. We brought our 2 small dogs and the house/yard was very comfortable for them as well. The owners seemed to have thought of everything you may need. Thoroughly enjoyed this rental and would rent again especially for large group. Owner called to check on us which was a great touch also; have stayed thru VRBO before in Bay St Louis and other places and never had owners call or reach out to us first. Great weekend and Old Town atmosphere and restaurants exceeded our expectations. Even the college kids loved it!

Location was Great!!!!
This was I first time staying at this VRBO. We love Bay St.Louis and love staying at different places. The location of this place is great & very short walk to beach, restaurants & walking around town. Our stay was great especially here because plenty of room. My only thing was that we had planned in using pool. Unfortunately it was not ready to be used. Thank for your hospitality! Very accommodating to our needs. Hopefully pool will be able to use when cleaned & ready so can use it. Loved the place.

Mardi Gras Perfecto
This property is perfect for 8 guests. Plenty of room in the common areas and three full baths for convenience. Clean and comfortable with outdoor areas to enjoy. Too cold for the pool but all that area is landscaped nicely with plenty of seating. Perfect location within walking distance of everything. Fun time was had by all!!

Review Citrus House
Nice older house in a super location. Air conditioning worked well so we were comfortable temperature wise. And the beds slept well.

Very comfy home
We just spent a long weekend at the Citrus House & loved everything about it. Location is perfect. It’s very close to the waterside shops & restaurants, but far enough away to be out of the hubbub. The neighborhood is very charming. There are several restaurants a short walk away. The home itself is lovely & just as advertised/pictured. We were 5 adults & felt like there was plenty of privacy when we wanted that and the common areas were open for when we wanted to gather together. The fenced in backyard is landscaped very nicely & a cool shady area to enjoy your coffee or wine.

Girls trip in BSL
This was a wonderful experience! Five women celebrating our 50th birthdays. We have been going on trips together for more than 20 years. BSL and the Citrus House was a perfect place for us. We loved the house and all of its accommodations. It was so nice to park and spend the whole weekend walking everywhere we wanted to go.., delicious restaurants, shopping, daquiri shop, bars… all of it. We loved that the house came with bikes as we spent the day riding and shopping. We were a little disappointed with the pool, but the owners explained that the pool service maintenance has been challenging with all of the rain in the area. We hope to visit this area again soon, and I highly recommend this house. The owner did a wonderful job keeping us informed of all that we needed to know.

Wonderful Labor Day weekend!
If you are looking for a great place to take your family for a wonderful weekend citrus house is your place! The owners were so helpful and a joy to work with. You don’t always get that with other rentals. The house is in a great location and suited our needs to the fullest!
2.5 / 5.0
We had alreay rented the place for a nice long weekend, by the time we arrived Hurricane Ida was about to take aim on the Gulf Coast. We are from New Orleans and totally expected we would need to shelter in place, why not at this beautiful home. The host went out of their way to make us feel safe and secure both leading up to and after the storm. I am happy to say the hosts were extremely supportive. They were very respectful of our privacy yet went beyond what I would have expected any host to do. The home is huge and very nicely decorated. In fact I stay at dozens of short term rentals each year and I would put this place in the top 5. Super clean, linens were soft and fresh, and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need for cooking. The pool area is an oasis and immediately takes the stress meter down to "chill". The location is near the beach and restaurants/bars yet is a quiet peaceful neighborhood. Please respect this place and treat it well as it is a treasure.
