Our newest addition in February 2022, this quaint cottage sleeps six within walking distance of the beach. Private entrance complete with kitchen, dining, living rooms, and bedroom. A comfortable queen bed is offered along with two xl twin bunk beds. The living room contains a queen sofa bed. Smart TVs in sleeping areas and living room. A washer, dryer, and laundry detergent are located on the property.

As our guests, you will benefit from Christies decorating touch. Our beach-themed properties are unique in the area. The Least Tern Nest like our other beach-close properties has been designed to create a welcoming atmosphere.

Guests will receive a code to use our electronic lock, a great way to ensure that all guests can gain access. The house has of course air conditioning and heating. The kitchen is fully equipped with a stove, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, and of course our coffee service. Pots, pans, and everything you need to prepare meals are available for you.

Our pecan trees grace the property and when the nuts are falling, you are welcome to help yourself.

The private yard is all yours and contains a fire pit and a BBQ ready for your enjoyment. The yard is fenced on three sides away from the street. Parking is available for three vehicles just outside the entrance door. Our property is freshly renovated with all new furniture and updated kitchen appliances.

While this is a brick house, you may be interested to know that it was built in 1880 and has gone through some changes since that time. Your accommodation will be located in one of two ground-level units that are part of a single building (a duplex). Each of the two units has its private entrance and a private yard.

This modern property is so close to the beach that there is no need to drive. Great restaurants are within a five-minute drive as are the Discovery Center and Centennial Plaza. The Mississippi Aquarium is ten minutes away. Several casinos offer not only great restaurants but also entertainment.

We named this property the Least Tern Nest after the Least Tern found on the beach near this property. These birds are protected and their nesting areas are fenced off on the beach to protect their eggs. This beautiful bird reflects what we offer at this property. FYI, this building was built in 1880, that’s 142 years ago. It’s as charming now as it was when it was built and the owners pulled up in their horse-drawn carriage.

PETS:  A small dog is permitted upon request and after payment of the pet fee.

The Beach House

SNOWBIRDS, LONGER STAY RATES ARE AVAILABLE AT THE BEACH HOUSE, ASK US

Welcome to the Beach House located in beautiful Long Beach, MS.  You must stay with us and enjoy all of the amenities this terrific home exudes.  Completely remodeled, it reminds you of a new model home except that model homes are not as well decorated or outfitted with everything you need for a great stay on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Let’s start with our bedrooms.   The master offers a king bed with a premium mattress.  You will sleep soundly after a day at the beach.  Our dressers and closet will hold your clothing, no need to work out of a suitcase.

Our second bedroom contains a queen bed plus a double bed with a twin above.  Take a look at our photos which explain the layout of this bedroom.  Plus chest and closet.

Our magnificent tiled bathrooms with quartz countertops make you feel as if you have stepped into a 5-star hotel (you have).  The shared bathroom includes a large tiled shower.  The master bath not only has a large tiled shower, it also has a large bathtub for a long soak after a tough night at the casino.

Your stay would not be complete without a large open space to socialize.  The giant flat-screen TV and ample seating permit family and friends to watch an important game or other entertainment.  WIFI is of course offered free of charge.

For those who would like a glass of wine or other beverage, our bar with seating is a cozy place for an intimate conversation while others enjoy the backyard or watch TV.

Our backyard is a great place to congregate.  Two separate seating areas are covered by the sun.  Why not prepare a meal outside and serve in the yard?   Did I mention our screen patio?  Yet another seating area for you and your guests.  When it’s hot outside, stay on the screened-in porch with a fan.

While there are plenty of places to hang and place your clothing, no need to bring everything, the full-sized washer and dryer will help you keep up with the laundry while you are on vacation.

Regarding the location of the Beach House.  It’s very close to the beach and shopping in Long Beach.  There are some very nice restaurants where you can mingle with the locals and have that great welcoming feeling of Southern hospitality.  There are many events in Long Beach such as the “Taste of Long Beach” held each September and Cruisin the Coast, Scraping the Coast, and one of the biggest, Jeeping the Coast.  Concerts in the park and much more.

You will be located on the Mississippi Gulf Coast which offers so many things to do, that it’s hard to list them here.  So we have listed most of them on our Activities Page.  There are 12 casinos along the Mississippi Gulf Coast all within a short drive from where you are staying.   Of course, there is the beach which is open 24/7.  A great idea is to pick up a Daiquiri from Coastal Daiquiri a block from the beach walk to the beach and drink it.  Adult beverages are allowed on the beach and Mississippi law allows you to walk with an open container in entertainment areas.
