It’s time to book your beach vacation but where should you go? Start by searching through Christies Gulf Beach Rentals website for the perfect property on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. No need to fight the crowds in Florida or pay higher prices in Alabama or the Carolinas. Beautiful white sand beaches stretch for miles and are open 24/7. Check out our blog articles about the area. We often call the Mississippi Gulf Coast, the forgotten coast. Come visit us and see Southern Hospitality firsthand. Most of our properties are within a short walk to the beach.
Before I dive into your vacation plans, you should know that the Mississippi Gulf Coast is a bargain compared to other beach areas in the South. 2024 rates are about the same as 2023 rates and below rates charged in other states. See the chart below. Given the sad shape of the overall economy and the high cost of eggs and other staples, you need a break and Christies is offering you our best rates so book soon.
We project that 2025 will bring more people to the Mississippi Gulf Coast than 2024 which has been better than 2023. It seems (and this is my opinion), that people took too much vacation during COVID and held back in 2023. More people are taking vacation in 2024 and at this rate, 2025 will be an even better year to take a beach vacation.

Our great restaurants
Our great restaurants are one of the best-kept secrets of the Coast. Take Ocean Springs with its downtown full of pubs, bars, and great restaurants. The big chain restaurants have a place but you want to try our privately owned small specialty restaurants. Sample the great Southern food culture here that includes Cajun and Creole. Similar restaurant scenes have popped up in Biloxi, Gulfport, and Bay St. Louis.
There there is Long Beach, a quaint Southern beach town with a delightful downtown and marina. If you would like to stay in Ocean Springs, look at the High Tides Cottage vacation rental. This property is one of our most popular.
How about staying in a historic house right on the beach in Biloxi? The Lighthouse Sands Serenity offers four bedrooms and a large porch with beach views all day. This house is more than 120 years old and is large enough to accommodate 8 guests. The companion property on the North side is a separate rental called Beachfront Beacon Bliss. This property can accommodate 8 guests in four bedrooms. Book both properties for a total of 16 guests with seven parking spaces and nearby extra parking.
Want a sea view?
If it’s sea views you want, check out our Paradise Tower condo with views from the 16th floor. Of course, if you want great beach access, all of our properties are located near the beach. With comfortable beds, kitchens to prepare meals, and even fenced yards, we have it all. Some properties are pet-friendly and near the beach.
Several of our properties have a large deck and views of the beach. Check out Gulf View Haven and the Sand Dollar. The Gulf View Haven accommodates up to 12 and is pet friendly. The great deck is often used in the afternoon catching the last rays of the sun off of the beach. Many of our properties have barbeque so you can pick up some fresh gulf shrimp and enjoy the family at home.
Outdoor activities all year
There are plenty of outdoor activities on the Mississippi Gulf Coast so staying at any of our great properties will act as a base from which to enjoy your favorite pastime. Did I mention that most of our properties have plenty of parking for your vehicles? If you are coming to the Mississippi Gulf Coast for an event, ask us which property is best to park your trailer, we have properties with extensive parking areas.
Want a nice condo for two? If you are coming to the Mississippi Gulf Coast to attend a concert for a special weekend getaway, we can accommodate you at one of our condos a short walk to the beach. Some even provide a beach cart for your towels and things.
The Happy Flounder has two bedrooms and the community has two swimming pools for your use. This gated community is located within walking distance of shopping and restaurants. Check out the Cozy Condo by the Sea. Perfect for two. It has a single king bed and a kitchen. This is a great property to relax and enjoy the two swimming pools, and walk to the beach or restaurants. Some of the best restaurants on the beach are just a few minutes by foot. The community is across from the Biloxi Boardwalk.
Need a house with a fenced yard? No problem.
Looking for a house with a fenced yard within walking distance of the beach? Book your stay at Sea la Belle Beach House. Three bedrooms can accommodate the whole family. Located in a quiet Gulfport neighborhood it is close to everything. Drive less than a mile to the Rouses grocery store, pick up some Southern food, and cook it at home or on the BBQ. We have several properties with fenced yards along with a fire pit plus BBQs.
Christies Gulf Beach Rentals is the property manager for many great properties on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Our management company specializes in connecting guests with owners’ properties so that both parties benefit. If you want a great stay, check out our website for all of our properties.
Use search criteria to narrow down the property you are looking for. Some guests are looking for a first-floor property, others do not mind walking up steps near the beach. All of our properties have easy access, either drive in and park or go through a security gate and park.
Your rental property is well cared for. The property owner has selected Christies to be sure their beautiful beach house is well cared for and their guests receive a 5-star stay. We love working with guests who have a large family. More often our properties are booked by guests who are reuniting with other family members for birthdays, anniversaries, or other events.
Weddings, birthday parties, we can help
Weddings and birthday parties are perfect for vacation rentals. A vacation rental property is a perfect place for people to choose overcrowded hotel rooms. The cost to book a vacation rental with Christies is usually lower than accommodation at hotels and motels. Our properties have plenty of room and lots of parking to accommodate your party.
Did I mention Pass Christian? A delightful small city located on U.S. 90, Beach Blvd. It has a small downtown area and a very nice marina. What stands out are the magnificent houses that line Beach Blvd. I love driving by these houses that seem to stretch forever. Even driving at the 45-mile-per-hour speed limit, it takes a while to pass them. If you want to take a good look, there is a street just to the North of Beach Blvd that parallels Beach Blvd in front and you can drive slowly by.
Have you ever stayed on a Bayou? Book the Peaceful Bayou and see what it is like to view beautiful waterways in several directions. Property owners in the area have their boats tied up at their homes. The bayou next to this property goes out to the Gulf of Mexico.
You can fish from your yard
This means that you can fish from your yard. Many varieties of fish are located in the water including shrimp and crab. Pop down to Walmart and buy a fishing license. You can cook your freshly caught fish on our BBQ located on the large patio under the house.
Our properties have some important amenities which include a laundry room (or closet), and keyless entry (no lost keys) and when you book on the Christies site, you receive free vacation travel insurance at no additional charge. The private pool that some of our properties have including the Octopus Garden, a 3 3-bedroom condo located in Gulfport near the beach, is a bonus.
Be sure to book your next vacation at one of Christies Gulf Beach Rentals properties if you want great customer service. Brian Logan, our property manager is highly rated. Ask him to tell you some stories of midnight calls for TV remote control batteries.
A topic that many people don’t consider when traveling is medical care. I bring this up because the great news is that medical care on the Mississippi Gulf Coast is some of the best in the nation. Our hospitals and many clinics are highly rated, and several hospital groups hire only the best doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals.
Great medical care for those in need
Don’t be concerned about visiting us for an extended stay if you have medical issues. Or even if something were to happen while you were here for just a weekend. Check out this article for more details.
Some guests ask about the best time to visit the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The honest answer is anytime. That said, I prefer the shoulder season when the temperature is in the mid-70s and the mornings are cool for that nice walk on the beach. From mid-September through April.
Another reason is that this is the slow season when bookings are easier and prices are lower. The Mississippi Gulf Coast is not normally crowded even at the height of the summer. Winter days on the beach are beautiful. Sunny skies with a bit of a nip in the air are great for getting out.
Fishing season is great in the Fall, Winter and Spring
Fishing season if there is one, would be in the cooler months when some species come into the shallower waters to spawn. Speckled trout is great to eat and from what I have been told, fun to fish for on a fall evening.
