Disliked: Cleanliness
The location to beach and downtown as well as the communications with the host were outstanding. The suite was not in great shape. I didnt read the post well, so for clarity there is no cooking facilities and the fridge is similar to a dorm fridge. We were staying for 10 days, it was tough to clean up dishes in the bathroom sink. The furniture was scuffed, it was very dirty (stains on bathroom floor, rugs stained, underbed was full of dust - identified while retrieving a shoe). The bed was foam, two pieces, base was about 6", top was another 2", but in two pieces, so had a gap. it was not a mattress. Bathroom linens were frayed, sheets basic thin material. Glasses were mismatched. Ice tray had holes so emptied into the freezer (learned the first time). The toilet seat was loose and broke fully during our stay, they "fixed" it but just a bigger screw and glue. The primary ceiling light in the BR didnt work - only the one over the mirror, which made bath area dark. Be aware, the tub is tall, so short or folks with leg issues can be challenged. You should also be aware (especially for long stays), there isnt a refill on supplies, so if anything empties you will need to purchase. I did notice this footnote before departure and asked them to add extra, and they were very accomodating. The bath soap was only about 1/4, and was gone through our stay. This is a prime spot and prices were prime, I expected the inside to match, and it didnt.

Staying at any of the Oak shade suites & house is always a good experience. Cleanliness of bathroom could’ve used some improvement. Not sure what was on the surface of the tub. Extra blanket had large burn hole. Replacing it would be good. I would definitely stay again. Very comfortable bed. Excellent location. Thank you so much.

Great location

The location, booking, communication were all great. The description of the space was accurate. The problem was the cleanliness of the room and property. Also we needed more towels and the towels that were there smelled mildewed, like they had been left wet in the washer for too long.

Perfect Location!

We loved our stay at this property. The location was absolutely perfect for easy beach and town access. The bed was comfortable and the place had everything needed for a long weekend trip. The place is nicely decorated, very clean, and the communication was very good. Couldn't have asked for more and will book again if in the area.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Disappointing

The property is in need of considerable updating. It shows its age. The online pictures do not match actual furniture. Also, it was not as clean as it should have been, The bed sheets were either not cleaned or were stained. The floor is some type of cement mixture which was rough and thus impossible to clean. It seemed like a patio surface. The bathroom exhaust fan is caked with black dust and the light was burnt out. Finally, they supplied a Roku television which greatly limits your ability to watch local and national channels without creating a Roku account.

This property is a wonderful place for a couple. The king sized bed is so comfortable. The location is so quiet and felt very safe. We rode our bikes to the beach and walked to dinner. The nearest restaurant is about a half mile away, but it was an easy walk and better yet on a bike. We would definitely book this property again.

Really enjoyed the little town of Ocean Springs. The walkability for the location of the cottage was perfect. My only negative to keep me from giving an overall five star rating is that the room was over perfumed with a plug-in scent deodorizer- it was just too overwhelming.

We booked last minute to come stay for birth of our granddaughter in Ocean Springs. Chris the host was super helpful in assisting with my booking. Very clean and super comfortable furnishings, met our needs perfectly. We work remotely and WiFi was worked well. Location is perfect.
