Come enjoy not only a vacation but a way of life on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The Gulf Palms Cottage is located on a quiet and safe street in Long Beach just three blocks from the beach and harbor. With huge Live Oaks, the balmy sea breezes and plenty of outdoor space the cottage is situated in the center of everything the Coast has to offer. Our comfortable 3 bedroom, 1 ½ bath cottage is just moments from great restaurants such as Steve’s Marina, Bulls, Harbor View Café and Darwell’s. The exciting night life of Biloxi with its casinos and entertainment is only a short drive down the beach. For the “Salt Life” there is great pier fishing, Charter boats, beach volleyball, beach fire pits and the longest beach front on the Coast are just blocks away. With the free splash pad, City Park that features outdoor movies and music and the developing city center two blocks from the cottage there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Grocery stores and Walmart are a few minutes’ drive with Edgewater Mall , Premium Outlet Mall, Crossroads Mall and numerous boutiques all less than 20 minutes from the cottage. For those that desire more adventure there are several outstanding day trips within an hour from the cottage………New Orleans, Mobile, Ship Island and scores of historical and interesting destinations around the area.

Great place to relax!

We love nature experiences and there are many outdoor things to do within an hour's drive of here. The cottage was a great place to relax at the end of the day. Good eating options very close. The beach was a short walk as well. A well equipped kitchen for preparing meals.

Short gulf Beach getaway

This place was very "homey" we enjoyed our stay as there was plenty of space and plenty of things to do while in the home and plenty of things to do within walking distance of the home. Very nice neighborhood. Great restaurants nearby. The home was very well furnished with everything we would need plus some. All in all in was a great stay. 👍

Sisters vacation

My sisters and I go to the Mississippi coast (specifically the Long Beach area) every fall to get away and enjoy each other. Gulf Palms cottage has been a favorite of ours for the last 3 years. It's a cozy set up and just 2-3 blocks from the beach, as well as being close to good food and entertainment. The hosts are top notch!!

Great Quiet Getaway

We wanted a relaxing getaway with our family pet do do some fishing with our boat. Weather was fantastic, house was comfortable and relaxing with everything needed to cook and not have to eat out. Loved the screen porch. Reminded me of the many years in my childhood visiting the coast. The host is very accommodating to your needs. Highly recommended
