Adorable, comfy and quiet

We stayed two nights in this adorable spot. It's close enough to the beach and downtown Bay St. Louis to be walkable, but just far enough away to be quiet, even on Memorial Day weekend. The house is perfect for a couple--one bedroom but plenty of space and a little screened-in porch. Over the years, we have stayed in multiple places all over Bay St. Louis and will definitely be checking availability for this spot first in future.

Excellent choice

Would recommend this cottage. Cozy and clean with a nice garden area to enjoy as well as a screened in back porch for morning coffee. We loved the location. It was quiet, and felt safe and secure. Loved being able to walk 3/4 of a mile to the old town section of Bay St Louis to the shops, bars, and restaurants. Beach and pier were 1/4 away. Joy our host was friendly and helped with recommendations. Will definitely stay here again.

Fell in love

With Bay St Louis Old Town! Compass Rose is a short walk through beautiful peaceful oak lined streets to the beach and restaurants. Quiet and completely equipped for a short or longer stay, the cottage is comfortable and spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed, great shower and bath area. Terrific host and caretaker responded immediately when needed (smoke alarm battery). Highly recommended!
