We really enjoyed our stay. Love the house. Everything was just perfect. The backyard. The vegetation was awesome. But it was just a little too cold to enjoy that hopefully the next time it won’t be so cold and we can sit out back a little bit more, but the whole place was fabulous.

We were in the Ocean Springs area for an 80th birthday celebration for my cousin. Several members of our family drove from Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee and Texas for the party The house was conveniently located and spacious enough for us all to visit on Sunday. Rosa was very easy to get in touch with and always responded in a timely manner. The house was very clean - with no issues. We will definitely rent this home again when n the area.

Garden Retreat Perfection

Do yourself and favor and stay here! It has everything to offer, plenty of space, good sized bedrooms, beautiful backyard to enjoy coffee in the morning or beverage in the evening and room for kids to play, or fully enclosed patio with AC, and walking distance to restaurants downtown Ocean Springs. Just overall perfect for our stay. Rose is absolutely sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again! Thanks for a wonderful time at the Garden Retreat!
