Beautiful Back Bay Biloxi Waterfron Home

Review submitted: March 27, 2013
Date of arrival: March 16, 2013
My husband and I from Georgia, along with his 4 siblings and spouses and an 83 year old aunt from Oklahoma enjoyed a wonderful time at this beautiful accommodating and hospitable home. It is right on the water with a beautiful view from the veranda (porch). We visited, cooked in the beautiful, large, well supplied kitchen and also enjoyed a low country boil (we brought our own pot for that). We fished like crazy - just a few feet from the house - great bunch of catfish! Our goal was to just hang out with each other at the house for four days, which we mostly did, but some of us took a drive up the coast over the new Biloxi Bridge for beautiful beach scenery and where a casino or two are located for those of you who induldge. All of this is very close by, along with grocery stores, shopping and restuarants. This house also has a lift (like and elevator) which really helped for our aunt who does not do well with stairs. We highly recommend this home and this area of Mississippi as a quiet get-a-way and vacation spot.

This was very lovely house. We had a family gathering for a funeral and the house and setting were perfect for bringing calm and tranquility to the group. It was so private, yet close to everything. We spent several hours watching the sea birds fly and dive for food. The evenings were made magical by the lights of the casinos on the Back Bay. The owner could not have been more helpful and responsive to our questions. I certainly hope to get another chance to stay here under different circumstances. Truely a great find.

This was a family vacation in which we had the absolute best time together because of the house and the location, it was so very relaxing and quiet with the beautiful view of the Back Bay yet so close to the main strip and the beach.
Everything about this house and vacation has been such a great memory for us and for me, Brian was awesome to deal with,
Thanks Brian!

Family reunion in Ocean Springs

Shared this house with 9 people (5 adults and 4 teens/Tweens). Spacious and well appointed. Had beautiful view of the Biloxi fireworks from the deck on the 4th of July. So nice that owners left coffee filters, seasonings and some pantry items in the kitchen so renters don't have to start from scratch. Big bonus that paper goods, laundry and cleaning products provided! Excellent value and location.

Family Wedding in Ms.

Date of arrival: June 7, 2012
Thank you for such a lovely home, that we rented. We all traveled from out of town to attend a Wedding in Gulf Port. Couldn't have ask for a better place to have spent out time. Lots of family fun on the lovely wrap around porch, and what a view we had. Could see Biloxi across the bay.Saw many of beautiful sunsets and took lots of great pictures too.
The house is beautiful and there was everything we could have needed for our week long stay. The Amenities were great. The Owner got back with us right away, if we had any questions.
This house is good for all ages. We ranged from 5yrs to 72yrs old and everyone really enjoyed themselves.
It rainied the entire week we were there, but didn't matter to us, we had a great time, laughing, enjoying each others company,and with that porch, who could ask for anything more. :)
I can't say enough nice things about this house.
If you get down to Ms. and need a wonderful rental home with plenty of space for every age group. Be sure to contact this owner, and hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did. Thank you !!

Great stay at the Southern White House waterfront

We walked up to a breath taking view of Biloxi, MS back bay. This home was very clean and roomy. Each bedroom had very nice bath and amenities. The master was gorgeous! Even the beds were comfortable. The Kitchen was the star with an awesome island that the whole family could sit around for meals or a crazy card game called spit on your neighbor. The view from the huge glass kitchen sink window draws you in. The porch was awesome for sitting and watching the water, birds, boats and shooting the bull. It was perfect for our family. The owners are very helpful and easy to get along with. We went to Half-Shell Oyster house and had royal reds (shrimp that taste like lobster) wonderful meal. The speed boat races were awesome. We had an awesome time at the Great Southern Club, Biloxi Yacht Club and sunset dinner cruise on the Biloxi Schooner sail boat. This area of the Gulf has the most white beach we have ever seen.

We rented the Back Bay house for a family re-union and could not have been more pleased. The furnishings were lovely and very comfortable with plenty of sleeping accommodations to fit our group of 10 adults. The den / living room / kitchen area is large and open with full length window views of the bay. There was plenty of room for all of us to hangout in the main room and enjoy our meals together. We spent a lot of time on the back porch overlooking the Bay just relaxing and talking. The house is private and secluded away from the hustle and bustle of the Hwy 90 strip, but still only 5-10 minutes away from the Ocean Springs downtown tourist area and 10-15 minutes from the Biloxi casinos. The owner was very personable and a pleasure to work with on the accommodations. Everyone in our group was extremely impressed with the Back Bay House and we plan to return. I highly recommend the property to anyone that would prefer to stay at a relaxed, secluded bay front location and still have quick access to the beach, casino, and tourist areas.

This house is amazing! Each of the three bedrooms were very spacious and very clean. Everything we needed was right at our fingertips. The kitchen and living area is very roomy and nice. We can't stop raving about this house. We watched the sunset and enjoyed the gentle breeze as we relaxed on the back patio. The location is secluded but so serene. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay at this property. We will definitely stay here again!

We very much enjoyed our stay at this lovely house. It was very nice that the 3 couples each had their own bathroom and everything was provided. We especially enjoyed our relaxing time sitting on the porch in the rocking chairs watching the dolphins. The house is in a nice quiet neighborhood but close to good restaurants and the casinos.
The house is furnished comfortably and the owners were very nice to deal with. We highly recommend the house.

Perfect Southern Sunshine Getaway

We can't say enough good things about this house, the owner, or our family's experience here over our Spring Break. The house is located in a lovely, well-kept subdivision, less than a ten-minute drive from the action of the casinos but down a long driveway on a quiet bay that kept things blissfully peaceful. The grounds are lovely, and we saw all kinds of birds, fish and even two dolphins in the bay, all while rocking away on the balcony. A couple of walks around the neighborhood kept us entertained, not to mention watching the golfers on the Gulf Hills course.
The house is spotless, gorgeous, comfortable and has everything you could possibly need for a week's relaxing vacation. It really seems brand new, but is very thoughtfully and comfortably furnished with great light. We were even impressed with the small details, like the quality of the towels, the availability of throw blankets and extra sleeping spaces, and the generous amounts of cutlery and dishes that prevented us from having to run the dishwasher more than once (!) in the entire week.
The owner was accommodating, responded to all of our questions and requests within minutes, and did everything he could to make sure we felt at home while we were there. He and his son even carried our bags to the car when they were in the area as we left! Recommended, enthusiastically.

Our party consisted of 3 couples. The house was absolutely perfect. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. The house was very well maintained and clean. We enjoyed our time on the deck observing the dolphins and night lights of the casinoes. The owner was very flexible and easy to contact. We went into New Orleans for the day. I would definetly recommend this and hope to make another stay here and bring my two college-age boys.

8 of us rented this place for our annual golf trip. This place has all you want. It is in a great location right on the water. You can even see the casinos from the back porch. The owner is a great person to deal with and this property is in such a nice, serene, PRIVATE location. This is a steal at the price being offered. Dont miss your chance to experience Biloxi in a way that just so unique.

We loved every minute of our stay at this home. The weather was perfect and allowed us the opportunity to enjoy relaxing on the balcony (in the rocking chairs) each morning and evening. The back balcony of the home looks out over the bay - - and at night, the casinos in Biloxi light up the horizon....really pretty! The house was immaculate and very well-kept and the flowers planted all along the front had just started to bloom - lovely!
Our family consisted of my parents, my husband, our son (10) and daughter (17) and her best friend. Our son enjoyed countless hours exploring outside, fishing off the pier with his grandfather and playing a round of golf on a course just minutes away from the house.
We drove to New Orleans twice for a Post Katrina tour and a swamp tour (Tours by Isabel) - - they were both wonderful! We ate lots of seafood and even managed to spend a few afternoons enjoying the nearby beaches and renting jet skis. And, to top off a fabulous week, I actually won a nice bit at the Grand Casino!
The owners of this home were very kind and even called to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay after we had arrived - - true southern hospitality.
