Fell in love
With Bay St Louis Old Town! Compass Rose is a short walk through beautiful peaceful oak lined streets to the beach and restaurants. Quiet and completely equipped for a short or longer stay, the cottage is comfortable and spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed, great shower and bath area. Terrific host and caretaker responded immediately when needed (smoke alarm battery). Highly recommended!

Joy's Cute Cottage
Joy's cottage house was the perfect place for me to stay to enjoy my family, fun filled weekend in Waveland. The location of the cottage was perfect. Joy was a pleasure to interact with in answering my questions in a timely manner. The cottage was spotless when I arrived, nice comfy bed and treats/snacks left for me to enjoy on my drive home. It was a wonderful weekend with my family and Joy made my stay even more enjoyable and comfortable. Highly recommend a stay here. Great location, close to downtown Bay St. Louis, restaurants and the beach. Hope others will consider staying here and enjoy it as much as I did!

We had a lovely stay here! The cottage was perfect for the two of us and our small pup. It has a lot of charm. Ms Joy is a wonderful host and made us feel right at home. It is also a great location - an easy walk to the beach and a short drive to Main St. We will be back!
