What a perfectly situated and quaint property this was. It felt like home. To wake up every morning with the view of the water and just the property itself was well worth it. It’s very close to government Street but yet far enough a way to have some isolation from the traffic. I would highly recommend this property.

My wife and I had a lovely four-day stay at the Shearwood Cottage overlooking Biloxi Bay in Ocean Springs. This cottage was cozy, comfortable, quiet, and very clean. We were impressed by the attention to detail that went into the construction and maintenance of this cottage, like small stained glass windows in walls and original paintings and other art work. The owners were easy to work with and even stopped by upon our arrival to see if we had any questions. We will definitely try to return the next time we visit Ocean Springs.

We’ve stayed in many, many VRBOs, both domestic and international, and this adorable, quiet, little cottage ranks at the top! It’s set in a beautiful location and it’s even better in person than the pictures. Every little detail was thought of and provided. Homemade muffins, fire pit ready for a match, coffee, interesting books, and all the kitchen conveniences needed for a wonderful stay! The patio and front porch were favorite spots for us, as well as the comfy living room area. Don and Leigh Ann were very helpful with restaurant suggestions and hospitable in every way! We will definitely be back!

If you are looking for a true Mississippi experience with the bells and whistles, look no more!
The family history, artwork, front porch, and lastly the beautiful design of the cottage…I could have stayed here forever!
The owner Donald was wonderful! Not only did they leave fresh baked banana nut muffins in the cottage for us, Donald communicated with us and made sure our stay was perfect!
The decor was astounding and I can’t say enough about the bed! I haven’t slept that well in a very long time!
Having coffee on the front porch under the magnolia tree looking at out the water, and watching the blue birds and cardinals play was priceless!
Thank you again Donald! See you soon in Mississippi!

Everything about this property exceeded expectations. From the comfortable accommodations to the lovely view of the gulf and the graciousness of the hosts there was nothing left to be desired. Everything was provided that we could possibly need. The quaint cabin was spotless and tastefully decorated with local art, many items having been framed by the host himself. The furnishing were clean and comfortable. The wifi worked great. We were within easy walking distance to beaches, the downtown area, wonderful restaurants, museums and places of historic interest. We highly recommend this property and hope to return in the future.

The cottage is recently built, beautifully designed and decorated. Nice view of the water from the porch and a short walk to the waters edge. Host is friendly and very knowledgeable with local history and recommendations. Cottage is stocked with everything you need, plenty of towels and all the kitchen stuff you could need.
You will not be disappointed. Nicest place to stay in Ocean Springs. We will be back as soon as we can.

We had such a wonderful stay at this gorgeous little cottage. The hosts were extremely helpful and kind with check in. They asked the age of the children and set up a coloring station with copies of great pictures to color that the host drew. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.
