The Fin & Feather – Waterfront Fishing Retreat & Long-Stay Coastal Escape Welcome to The Fin & Feather, your private, peaceful waterfront getaway on Graveline Bayou. Designed for anglers, snowbirds, remote workers, and families, this elevated 3-bedroom home blends comfort, wildlife viewing, and effortless access to some of the Mississippi Gulf Coast’s best fishing. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend tournament, a festival in nearby Ocean Springs, or a multi-month stay, The Fin & Feather offers space, privacy, and a setting that keeps guests returning year after year. Wake up to sweeping views from the 360° furnished wraparound balcony, where guests regularly spot dolphins, pelicans, bald eagles, and herons gliding over the bayou. Many enjoy full days without ever leaving the deck—casting a line, checking crab traps, grilling dinner, or simply relaxing with the coastal breeze. With calm, protected waters leading directly toward the bay, this location is ideal for inshore fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and crabbing right from the property. Inside, the open-concept living area is bright and welcoming, designed for both short getaways and long-term living. The kitchen is fully equipped with full-size appliances, cookware, and extended-stay essentials—perfect for guests who plan to stay for weeks or months. The comfortable, coastal-inspired living room offers plenty of seating and natural light, making it easy to unwind after a day on the water. All three bedrooms are private ensuites, each featuring its own full bathroom with both a shower and bathtub, providing unmatched privacy for families or groups. Every bedroom includes a premium memory-foam mattress, nightstands, and clothing storage, ensuring a deep, restorative sleep throughout your stay. An extra half bath for guests adds convenience, especially for larger groups or gatherings. With high-speed WiFi, a full laundry room, ample parking for vehicles and boats or trailers, and a quiet residential location, the home is exceptionally popular with snowbirds, remote workers, and guests staying 30+ days. Many long-term visitors choose The Fin & Feather for work assignments at nearby shipyards, military facilities, and industrial sites, or simply for the slower pace of coastal living. Just a short drive away, the charming arts community of Ocean Springs offers festivals, live music, dining, galleries, and beloved annual events. Guests often plan extended stays for Cruisin’ the Coast, the Peter Anderson Festival, Mardi Gras celebrations, cook-offs, and seasonal coastal gatherings—enjoying the peaceful retreat of The Fin & Feather at the end of each day. * Why Guests Love This Home * Direct waterfront with fishing & crabbing on-site Three private ensuite bedrooms (rare in this area) Memory-foam beds in every bedroom 360° wraparound balcony with furnished seating Abundant wildlife: dolphins, bald eagles, ospreys, herons Perfect for extended stays (45–90 days encouraged) Fast WiFi & full laundry room Ample parking for boats, trailers, and multiple vehicles Close to Ocean Springs festivals, dining & entertainment Peaceful, private, elevated coastal home * Perfect for Long-Term Stays * The Fin & Feather is thoughtfully equipped for extended visits, offering: Full kitchen and pantry space Comfortable areas for work or relaxation Multiple private bedroom suites Laundry room & storage Calm, quiet neighborhood Convenient access to shopping, groceries & boat launches Whether you’re staying a week or the entire season, this home provides the comfort, privacy, and waterfront lifestyle long-term guests value most.
