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 cottage itself is one of the few original styles of cottages that use to dot the coast line. The screened-in front porch, the oyster shell driveway (which is now crushed cement), the hundred year old Live Oak tree that sits on our property next door, the size of the cottage, etc, etc. are all exactly the way cottages along the MS Coast were built in the 20s to 50s. Our cottage was rebuilt back to it’s original state after Hurricane Katrina (with the exception of an added on bedroom and laundry room). The cottage had upwards to 6 feet of water during Hurricane Katrina…that is a remarkable amount given the distance to the gulf shore.
