Awesome Location!

Had never been to this area before and ended up booking last minute. Thought it might be too far off the beaten path, but the house and location were great! Convenient to both Gulfport and Bay St. Louis, plus Pass Christian has some awesome little shops and restaurants of its own. Easy access to nice beaches away from the crowds and tourist attractions and traffic. Live bait and boat launch right across the street.

Wonderful Stay at Harbor View Cottages!

We recently stayed at Harbor View Cottages-Overlooking Historic Harbor and Beach, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The cottage was well-appointed, providing everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We brought our two fur babies along, and they loved it just as much as we did! The location is perfect—centrally located with easy access to both the harbor and the beach, making it ideal for exploring the area. The view was stunning, and the peaceful atmosphere made for a truly memorable getaway. We are already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!

Wonderful location!

The house is roomy and location great. We loved the view and being able to walk to great restaurants in minutes. What I would recommend is that the mattress in the middle bedroom be replaced and upgraded to a queen size. My brother and his wife said they didn't get a wink of sleep because they felt every spring in the existing mattress. Other than that, perfect stay.

"The View, Location, and Gracious Hostess"

Harbour Oaks was the most perfect vacation location! Comfortable cottage with charming décor that made us want to let this be a permanent get-a-way! Several times a year. The view was beautiful and the location was close to downtown, beach, and harbor. The gracious hostess made us feel so at home. Had cookies waiting for us on the kitchen table, and let us know anything we needed was a call away. Who could ask for anything more...Well, maybe a longer stay.. Thanks for a wonderful week!

Wonderful property owner---Comfy, spacious, clean….

We enjoyed this spacious home with our two kids very much. The home was clean and had lots of room to spread out unlike a hotel. The beds were very soft and comfy. The house felt safe and was ideally located around services. We enjoyed bumming around the many beaches and coastal towns. Our deposit was refunded in a short few days and Diane was kind enough to let me know we had left something behind and mailed it along with our refund check. Thanks Diane.

Excellent location, comfortable cottage with a pleasant and responsive owner.

We loved our experience in Pass Christian and would love to return. The cottage was perfect. While it was just the two of us with our pups; the house has the space for more. We could see the harbor from the front porch and several good and fun restaurants within walking distance. The library was a short block away. We ventured in to New Orleans several times as it was an easy drive to and from. Diane was able to give us reliable references for where to eat and visit in the Mississippi Gulf Coast area. As you can see, we enjoyed our month in the ‘Pass’ and hope to be a regular return renters.

Relaxing, enjoyable

Excellent location. Walkable to restaurants, Pass harbor, arts/farmer's market. Nice splash pad for kiddies nearby. Less traffic, more laid back than Biloxi/Gulfport beach area to the east. Plus, a little closer to New Orleans. Very amenable, very responsive hosts. Responded immediately to any questions. Hard to maintain WiFi signal in back bedroom, but fine everywhere else. Capable of streaming multiple devices. Very clean and functional cottage layout. Note that the owners may be in residence in the cottage next door to the rental cottage. This is not intrusive at all, but, if you have multiple cars, you may want to inquire beforehand re parking situation. Some nice amenities: beach chairs, towels. Overall, all in my family, from toddler to Grandpa, were very pleased with the accommodations. Strongly recommend.

We had a wonderful time at Harbor Oaks last week. Two of the 6 days we were there, we did nothing except relax. It was nice being able to go across the street to get fresh shrimp right off the boat for Saturday night and went again to bring some home. We also spent a little time across the street at the beach. Amber, my poodle, enjoyed herself too, she wanted to come visit the big dogs so bad. The house was very clean and well stocked, Diane even told us if we need any spices to just come get some of hers--we did borrow a big pot to cook the shrimp. We went to New Orleans Sunday, only about an hour away, and spent Saturday at Ocean Springs' farmers market and taste of the city, only 30 minutes away. We were happy to see that so much of the COAST is back after the hurricane. We are looking forward to enjoying Diane hospitality again soon. Only thing we found the might need attention is a blind or shade in the front bedroom--lights from the marina are really bright all night.

This cottage was perfect for our needs. It was very clean, decorated great and had everything we needed. Location, location, location. The hosts were friendly, responsive, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The area is so peaceful. There was plenty of things to do, and great restaurants nearby. I had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this property and these hosts.

Location Location Location!!!This property is conveniently located to restaurants, parks and beach. You can easily arrive park your vehicle and not have to get in it again until you check out. Very spacious clean rooms, and kitchen has everything for cooking family meals.The only downside to this property is the bathrooms, can really use some updates; toilets and shower heads. But overall I would revisit this place.

Excellent Spring Break Trip!

Dinah and Jim are the best hostesses!!! The house was exceptionally stocked and super clean. We didn’t need a thing. We will definitely be a repeat vacationer in Pass Christian, instead of just stopping when we pass thru. Plan on getting your fill of local seafood while there.

Hidden gem!

I cannot say enough good things about this home and the precious owners. They made evacuating from a hurricane seem more like a vacation. Pass Christian is a hidden gem and so is this beautiful home. Super comfortable without being too big. The kids loved the huge yard and watching the boats across the street. We will be back!!!

Love love love!!

Don’t sleep on this golden nugget! View from the yard is beautiful! Location is great and in walking distance of several restaurants and across from a marina is very convenient. House is very roomy and clean and up to date. Perfect for 4 adults and a child. Owner was wonderful and a pleasure to meet. I told her it was our anniversary and later that day she had left us some super delicious cupcakes on our porch! Very thoughtful! Definitely will rent this unit for years to come!

Convenient and cozy stay

We traveled to the Pass for a regatta. This was the perfect spot for getting to and from the yacht club, visiting friends and dining out. The doggies were happy and safe in the fenced in backyard. The house was spacious and had everything we needed. Made for a fun, memorable weekend.

Harbor Oaks is our favorite place to stay!

We had stayed at the cottage several times during previous ownership. The updates that have been made are very nice. Cottage is clean and comfortable. Owners were very friendly and accommodating. Check in was easy. The location is key for us. My husband goes out on fishing charters, he can easily walk across the street and meet up with his captain for the day. The beaches are just across the street and are kept very clean. We love the local restaurants and laid back atmosphere. This is our favorite vacation spot and our favorite place to stay. We will definitely be back again soon.
