The Cottage was delightful.

The cottage was exactly as described and such a delight. I enjoyed my stay. It was so relaxing. The neighborhood was quaint and the people were so engaging. I just loved everything about it.

A great place to stay!

We enjoyed our stay here so much! The home was immaculate, and the beds were so comfortable. We really enjoyed the reclining sofa! The kitchen was well stocked - we had everything we needed and more. The location is perfect- you can walk to the beach, church, and restaurants. Grocery stores and other shops close by. Teri and Colin are the best hosts! If we ever travel to Long Beach, MS again, we will stay at Cottage by the Gulf - loved it!

Cozy, clean cottage

Cottage was very clean and check in/out was easy. Owner was very accommodating with pets. Snacks were provided. Cottage by the Gulf is a little misleading. It’s 3 blocks inland. TV service in the cottage was challenging.

Great cottage in a great beach town!

We loved our time here! This house is well kept & in a great location. The neighborhood is quiet, but just blocks from fun restaurants and the beach! On our arrival, we happened upon the “First Fridays” night in town square with lots of music and cool old cars. The owners are very accessible for questions and I appreciate the amenities (coffee in filters, snacks, Netflix and a handwritten note). We would definitely stay here again if we pass through!

Adorable Beach Cottage

It was so nice to see what a warm inviting beach cute cottage this house was where you could literally see the beach down the street. We had a basket of snacks and a bag of ice waiting for us which was a nice treat. Each room has a television as well which wasn’t stated and I need to hear the sound of a tv when I sleep so that was a big plus for me. The house was super cute!!! Perfect get away and much nicer than being in a hotel. Thank you so much for allowing us to bring our little dachshund. We found out she thinks she is a Labrador. We already knew she liked playing fetch and now she also loves swimming. 😂

If I could give this place more stars, I would in a heartbeat!! It is a very clean, cute, comfortable cottage a short walk to everything you need! The beach, groceries, restaurants, beautiful USM campus, it is incredibly convenient!! Teri and Colin are kind and helpful hosts. We spent mornings on the comfortable porch enjoying the peaceful setting, afternoons on the beach or exploring, and evenings at a some delicious restaurants. We highly recommend this cottage and plan to return ourselves.

Beautiful little cottage just down the street from the beach. It is very comfortable and quiet and was the perfect place for a Mother-Daughter long weekend. The reclining sofa was great for watching movies. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and feeling the ocean breezes. Loved it! Hope we can come again.

In general, the cottage was clean and pleasant. One bed was comfortable and one bed was hard as a rock (personal preferences though). I felt safe and comfortable. The active train tracks were closer than anticipated but a white noise app took care of that. My only suggestion would be to add a pizza cutter in the kitchen 😊
