Shearwater Cottage was the perfect stay for our 3 day get away. The property was beautiful and secluded. Donald and Leigh Ann furnished the cottage with all necessities for our stay. We will definitely stay at Shearwater Cottage again.

Beautiful private cottage nestled amongst the ancient oaks on the north shore of the Biloxi Bay. Gorgeous views and a private dock to enjoy sunrise and sunset. Gracious hosts and tasteful decor featuring celebrated local artists. We look forward to our next visit!

I recently stayed here for a weekend, and it was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. The cottage had a cozy charm with all the modern comforts you could ask for. The surroundings were peaceful, offering the perfect atmosphere to unwind and relax.One highlight was the homemade banana nut muffins waiting for us on arrival—absolutely delicious! They were the perfect treat with coffee.Overall, this cottage is a fantastic option for anyone looking for a quiet retreat. I highly recommend it for anyone in need of a peaceful getaway.

I can't imagine there being a better place to stay in Ocean Springs. The cottage is adorable, well appointed, close to the water, set in the woods among oak trees that are hundreds of years old. The property has been in the owners' family for 100 years. The owners live next door, and are the perfect hosts: always available if you need them, helpful and informative, but not at all intrusive. Friendly as can be - you'll want to stay connected with them after you leave. I'll never stay anywhere else if I have reason to go to Ocean Springs again.

The property is immaculate - clean, well-stocked, prime location. The artwork by local artists including Walter Anderson is a delightful extra. Much of the furniture is original and hand made. The location on Biloxi Bay near the Gulf made it like a homecoming for us former Tampa residents. Bird watching is excellent. Kudos to Donald and his team for keeping up such an endearing short term rental. We will be back. Thank you!

This cottage was about a mile from Downtown Ocean Springs but felt a world away. It is nestled in a quiet setting with access to a pier on the Biloxi Bay, which was a great place to watch sunsets. The cottage is pristine and has all of the comforts of home. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return for another visit soon.

The cottage is lovely, set amidst oak trees with a beautiful water view. Homebaked muffins, along with other goodies, greated us upon arrival. We sat on the pier and watched the sunset. Owners were friendly and informative as to options around town. This will be our go to rental for our future stays.

This was by far the best experience we've ever had booking through VRBO. The property exceeds any pictures or descriptions listed, and the owner is the standard for which all rental owners should aspire to be. Could not recommend this place enough!

What a perfectly situated and quaint property this was. It felt like home. To wake up every morning with the view of the water and just the property itself was well worth it. It’s very close to government Street but yet far enough a way to have some isolation from the traffic. I would highly recommend this property.

What a beautiful hidden gem! This cozy cottage is so close to downtown yet seems so far away. With great views of the water. We enjoyed walks along the path through the live oak trees down to the pier. You can see beautiful sunsets and at night an amazing view of the city light across the sound.We will definitely be back!

My wife and I had a wonderful time staying at this cottage. The pictures did not do it justice. If you are looking for a private get away, then this is the place to stay! The communication with the owner was so easy. They were helpful in every way. We will be back soon! Thanks again for letting us stay in your cottage.
