The cottage was everything that was stayed, our two Aussies loved chasing the squirrels and sunning on deck. The pool was great. Definitely would love to come back!

Loved the house. The additions to the old house flow and increase the space nicely. Updated amenities and decor were very nice. The backyard and pool fantastic. The side yard with the trees and gravel made for a quiet, cool relaxing setting. It was 97 degrees most days and we spent a lot of time in the pool.

We loved our stay at this house! We’ve been to Bay St. Louis many times, and this place is definitely one of our favs. The layout was great, full kitchen, living room space, two bathrooms, and wonderful sleeping areas. The backyard though is the very best feature! Absolutely fantastic landscaping, seating, and an exactly perfect size pool for the two of us. Loved this place so much. We had our two furry kids with us, as well, and they enjoyed sniffing around the backyard and hanging out.

The house is really great I have no complaints big yard swimming pool totally furnished couldn't ask for anything else only wish I could have stayed longer

My wife, our Golden Doodle, and I much enjoyed our week long stay in BSL. The highlight of our stay was the home which we rented. Our hosts were wonderful, supportive, helpful, and wanting to make our stay perfect. We were very comfortable. We loved the nostalgia of the train sounds daily off in the distance as we sat out on the porch where there was always a coastal breeze. The pool was a perfect spot. It is very private. The fenced in yard was truly just a beautiful well groomed and developed garden. The home was perfect for us. It was very comfortable with many unmentioned amenities. The bed was so comfortable that after sleeping in it two days we drove to New Orleans and purchased a new mattress of the same type. There was great TV reception. BSL is a special place. Eating is varied and all good. The quaint shops were fun. And of course the Gulf and beaches are right at hand. The beaches were beautiful white sand and well groomed. Everything is dog friendly and our Maggie had a great time especially at the beach. Many people get around in golf carts. The carts are rentable and on our next trip we will rent one for a week. This was our first VRBO experience and it was perfect and inviting us to return. We will be back. Thanks to our hosts for everything. Lester and Teri Jonesboro, AR

We truly enjoyed staying at this lovely home. The back yard and side yard are gorgeous!! The pool was clean and very enjoyable! The kitchen is fully stocked with all appliances and cookware/utensils. The home is in a convenient location, close to restaurants and shops. Julia responded very quickly to our messages and was a joy to work with. We highly recommend this home and would definitely stay there again!

The good - this property really works well for travelers with dogs. The yard is beautiful and fully fenced. The pool is cute with lots of outdoor seating. My dog loved exploring for the short 7 hours we were on the property. The bad - we were recovering from COVID and our lungs were sensitive. There was a pervasive smell on the interior - a chemical smell and a smell that I identify as cigarette smoke and some sort of strong cleaning agent. By midnight, we were both coughing (again, recovering from COVID) to the point where we couldn't sleep (we were fine outside and at home, it was definitely something inside the cottage). We decided to pack up and drive all night to go home. I wasn't going to leave a review at all but it was my communication with the owner that was so disappointing that led me to write this review. I emailed to explain why we left at 1:00 in the morning, after less than a day. I was not asking for a refund. The owner was very dismissive of my concerns and basically said "no one has ever smoked on this property" and that their maintenance person "didn't smell anything." Maybe, but they could have been kinder in their response. I've rented a LOT of VRBOs over the years and unfortunately this one was not a good fit.

Our vacation dreams were simple: -fabulous pool -must love dogs This place exceeded expectations on both. My husband, myself, and our XL lap dog needed to get away and wanted a place that had it all so we would never have to leave if we didnt want to. The house was adorable and the yard felt like a mini wildlife sanctuary. We definitely enjoyed ourselves!

Am looking forward to going back. Loved it! Charming, and comfortable. Gilligan my dog loved it too. Hated to leave. Will be back next year

Was a nice home base for visiting family in LA and MS coast. Perfect yard for my 10 year old GSD. Loved being able to walk to beach. Enjoyed our stay in BSL!

We have stayed several times and LOVE the cottage! Rick & Julia go out of their way to ensure a great experience! It was the hubby’s birthday & they even got bakery recommendations for me! It was too cool for the pool but we enjoyed the yard and of course my GSD’s enjoyed the squirrels! Can’t wait until next time!

Really clean and comfy.

I believe this is our 4th stay and by far our favorite BSL getaway choice. We love the house, pool and our 2 GSDS love the yard. Hopefully we can return soon.

The house was very clean, well stocked with everything you would need. It was nice to have pool to relax in or come back from beach to cool off. Dogs loved the yard and beach. We loved the fenced yard and doggy door so the dogs can come and go as needed. Doggy bags available all around the yard to keep up with the doggy messes Just enough room for me and my two adult daughters. Beach is close but we choose the 2 beaches further down the road due to challenge of getting all your things through 3 wires and cement barrier wall with 8 steps. Has white soft sand and overall pretty clean. Water orange due to being so close to Mississippi river can walk out quite a ways and still be waist deep. Would make sure you take bug repellent mosquitoes. nats and flies are bad. stay was very relaxing and we enjoyed our stay it was like being in our own home. Train tracks close by but got use to it going by frequently after a few days did not keep us up or wake us up at night. The stay was very relaxing and we enjoyed our stay it was like being in our own home. The owner always got back with an answer within a few hours if I had a question. I would recommend renting the house it is everything that was described plus more.

What a cozy nest. Loved the way they made us and our pups feel welcomed. We look forward to visiting again soon.

Love, love, love this Beautiful Cottage! Immaculate! Clean and beautifully decorated! The neighborhood was so quiet and peaceful. The pool was lovely and so inviting! So nice to have coffee by the pool and bird watch in the mornings. The beach is an easy walk down the road, and Old Town just minutes away! Check in was so easy, and Rick, the owner, was ready and waiting to field any and all questions I had! Super friendly and helpful! Can’t wait to get back to my Sweet Little Cottage! Don’t miss out on this one, such a Gem! Thanks again, Rick and Julia!♥️

It was our first time to visit the gulf and this place a nice little getaway in a small town. The pool was great when the beach was too windy. Recommend with people with dogs.

This is my second time visiting BSL during March. The weather was very mild and cooperative again . We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the 418 Bookter st cottage.. it was very charming, conveniently located and perfect for us and our fur baby. Julia and Rick couldn’t have been nicer hosts!

When we walked into the house, we said to each other., “Yeah, this is going to be perfect!!” The house is just the right size for a couple with their large dog (us). It was absolutely immaculate and well maintained. We loved sitting in the back yard and just enjoyed the warmer weather. We’d walk to the beach or to Old Town; it was very convenient. We tend to cook at home, and the kitchen was well equipped for us to do that. There is also a great fenced in yard for our dog to roam about. All in all, a very relaxing and positive experience!

Great location, great food options and friendly atmosphere!

House was clean and well equipped. Beautiful yard and pool was a refreshing addition. Pup loved the yard and the doggie door ( his first experience with one). Good location and easy in and out.

We really enjoyed our stay, especially the dog friendliness of the property. The pool is really nice and so is the backyard landscaping and mature trees. We loved being able to observe the birds at the backyard feeders. The Bay St Louis beaches are close by too. We hope to return for a second visit.

This cottage is adorable. Very clean and well stocked. Back yard is great. Very close to Old Town area.

This is a lovely cottage in Bay St. Louis. The owner’s creative touches are apparent throughout the home and yard. This property has anything a guest might need and is much nicer than many rental properties. It was perfect for our stay with our dogs.

The house is adorable and larger than appears in pictures. Close to the beach and downtown Bay St. Louis. We would highly recommend this charming property!

I love this little cottage and the fact that it’s dog friendly. It’s so hard to find places to stay where you are allowed to bring your pets. Our pets are family to us and go with us every where we go which includes vacation. Thank you for allowing them, we are looking forward to our next visit!

Huge back yard and pool make this cute house a good choice.

Enjoyed house, yard, and pool.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this cottage. It was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we could possibly have needed. This was the first time taking our dogs on vacation and they absolutely adored the trip! It was very relaxing. We DID NOT want to leave. We are hoping to book the same property next year!

We had a great stay!! The cottage is clean and spacious and very comfortable & well decorated. Very pet friendly place with a fenced yard and plenty of room to play. Walking distance to the beach and when you are tired of that you have your own pool to relax and enjoy. Would highly recommend ! Great location for day trips to New Orleans or Alabama.

The property is very clean, has everything you could possibly need & perfect for a getaway with large dogs. This is our second stay. We really enjoyed the pool this visit. We hope to visit again soon.
