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.

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!

Beautiful home

My brother and I came to Ocean Springs to visit our parents. Communication with host was quick, polite, and helpful. Rose was very sweet and a pleasure to talk to on the phone. The house was more than comfortable and perfect for our dog (All tile floors and fenced yard) Host even provides sheets and towels to use for pets specifically. The back yard was fenced in and BEAUTIFUL! Kitchen well stocked and easy to cook in. The house is very convenient to downtown and a great place to stay if that is where you want to spend time. They even offer a golf cart to rent, although we did not use this. We are already trying to book again here for later in the year. I recommend this place and will be happy to return when needed.

Great weekend getaway

Had a wonderful time visiting Ocean Springs and staying at The Garden Retreat. The home was roomy and comfortable. We spent a lot of time in the lovely back yard with our fur baby. It was a short walk to the downtown area where we walked around at the Peter Anderson Festival and shopped in the many stores. We highly recommend staying at The Garden Retreat. Thank you Rose and Valerie!
