NEW JUNE OPENING for DOWNTOWN BEACH COTTAGE in OCEAN SPRINGS!

We had a last minute cancellation for end of June. You can book now for great rates! This cottage is so close to the beach and has perfect reviews!!
If you are looking for a quiet place for some R & R on the Gulf Coast to enjoy the season, then Ocean Springs may just have that quaint little town atmosphere you are looking for! This cottage is about location, location, location!! Guests love Butterfly Cottage not only for its' amenities & cleanliness, but the location is ideal! Front beach and downtown are both within 2 & 1/2 blocks of the cottage. The weather is beautiful, the sand and beach chairs are waiting, Tatonut is making the best donuts ever, and the restaurants are serving up great food and music!!!

This beautiful little cottage boasts a fully equipped kitchen, appliances, bathrooms & fixtures along with a stackable washer/dryer. The location is perfect for your beach vacations or weekend getaways and ready for your enjoyment and pleasure as you spend time around the beautiful and quaint town of Ocean Springs, Mississippi. You can enjoy the back porch where you can relax outside listening to birds and watching butterflies. The dining and living room give comfort and relaxation after a day at the beach or exploring downtown. The master suite has a queen bed and master bathroom that also houses the stackable washer/dryer unit. The guest room also has a queen bed and its own bathroom.

Butterfly Cottage is a private home located in a quiet neighborhood near the downtown Historic Ocean Springs. I have enjoyed getting to know our neighbors who are fun and interesting people whose friendship, privacy and quiet enjoyment of their homes and community are very important to us. Please treat our home and neighbors with the same respect you would your own. We hope you enjoy your stay.

No partying, no smoking, no pets allowed inside or outside. Please limit your guests to 4 guests except by owners permission. I certainly accommodate families; just list your guests accordingly. Please feel free to message me with your requests or questions.

Butterfly Cottage is quite comfortable. The property is extremely well maintained. The decoration of the interior is top notch and laid back for a cottage. The exterior is really great in keeping with a Gulf Coast feel. Location was key factor in staying here. Cindy is great to communicate with as a true host. This was our second visit and we look forward to returning next year.

October Escape
This bright and cheerful cottage is well equipped and has the distinct advantage of an excellent location… literally a couple of blocks from town center and south beach. It’s very walkable which is important considering the scant parking in downtown Ocean Springs.

Butterfly Cottage Home away from home
We enjoyed our stay during Memorial Day weekend! Cottage is clean, I loved little houses as decorations around the Cottage, all the little touched, you can see that it is cared for and by extension, I as a guest am cared for. We’ll be back in July and can not wait. Within walking distance from beach and downtown, and of course a little park for the kids!

PRECIOUS COTTAGE
The cottage was easy to find. Everything was just like I read in the description. I, my husband, and another couple stayed here. Loved having 2 bathrooms. The place was clean, quiet and so close to everything. I recommend this precious place. Our host answered all our questions. She was very sweet. Hope to go back soon!
