About our property

The ground floor offers a very large porch with a view of the Gulf of Mexico.  Just inside you will find a living room on the right of the foyer and a large formal dining room on the left.  Our kitchen is fully stocked with implements including cups, dishes, pans, pots, and coffee service.  Everything you need to prepare meals at home.

A second living area includes a sleeper sofa and another flat-screen TV.  Clearly, the ground floor is for entertaining.  A bathroom with sink and toilet is available between the dining room and kitchen.

The second floor is our sleeping area.  A king bed is located in the master with access to a full bathroom.  A bonus is the private enclosed balcony with views of the beach.  The next bedroom has a queen bed with its own private enclosed balcony again with views of the beach.  The third bedroom has two double beds and the fourth bedroom has a queen bed.

The laundry room is located on the second floor through one of the bedrooms.  We know this is unusual but considering that when the house was built people did not have indoor laundry rooms, it had to go somewhere.  A full-size washer and dryer are yours to use.

This is a very large house with lots of doorways and character.  Your BBQ is located on the side of the house.  The large fenced front yard can be used for sports or watching your children play.  During events, this property is in demand as a location where you can watch floats and participants drive down Beach Blvd.

Parking is no problem.  We have a fully paved parking lot that will accommodate up to seven cars.

Rent our companion property, Beachfront Beacon, a townhouse attached to the North side of this historic house.  An addition was made to the original house designed to accommodate up to eight people in four bedrooms.  This property can be booked along with the Lighthouse Sands Serenity to accommodate up to 16 people.  Contact us if you would like to book both properties at the same time.

Christies offers a 5% discount for a single booking entity for both properties at the same time.  While we will permit events such as birthday parties, guests must have prior approval after agreeing to terms and conditions including noise, parking, alcohol, etc.   Contact us for special events or to book both properties at the same time.

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.

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.

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.
