My family of 5 and my sister's family of 4 stayed in The Porch House for the weekend of the Oyster Festival in Pass Christian. The house was within a 1/2 mile of the harbor where the festival took place, so we could easily pile our crew into the car or walk to the festival. The house is also in easy walking distance to the beach, the park, and a very short drive to the downtown area, where we enjoyed delicious food and unique shopping. We also drove over to Bay St. Louis for lunch and ice-cream one afternoon, and what a charming town that is (the drive is about 5 minutes).

The three bedrooms accommodated our families perfectly. Each couple had a nice plush bed and the kids all shared the room with the trundle bed. The porch was perfect for sitting and chatting, reading a book in the afternoon, or watching the children play. The hard wood floors were my favorite feature of the house, but watch out for the large door jams (true to the time of the home), they took some getting used to, we tripped over them a few times. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed. Lots of pillows, towels, extra blankets...all was so nice!

After our trip to the Pass we are seriously considering purchasing real estate in the area, it's just absolutely charming. Scenic Drive is breath taking, and my run along the beach was the highlight of my trip. I would highly recommend Pass Christian to anyone, and The Porch House was so charming and comfortable...truly a 5 star trip!

The location of the property is just a short block from the beach. We were able to walk down to the beach at night and go look for hermit crabs and blue crabs, which we caught both of. The house is very open and the porch is to die for. We had to take turns in the hammack on such a beautiful day and just lay and listen to the wild life that surronded the area. The house and yard were very clean and well maintained. The herbs growning by the second porch off the side of the house were nice for cooking. If you are looking for a great place to go back in time and get away from the hussle and bussle of your busy life, staying in The Pass is what you are looking for!

This was the perfect spot to relax after Mardi Gras and the only regret was that the stay was too short. Next time will be longer. Thanks for letting us share your lovely house. We loved both porches.
