Walk to town and beach

Immerse yourself in downtown Ocean Springs at the Porch on Government Street. Newly renovated along with a fully gated courtyard- this warm and inviting one bedroom cottage can comfortably host a family of four. This gorgeous cottage allows a perfect retreat romantic enough for a couple ready to enjoy the night life, walks by the beach, or downtown yet comfortable enough to accommodate the whole family looking to experience the many parades and other family-friendly entertainment within walking distance. The Porch is centrally located in the famed golf cart district for quick walking access to the beach, shopping, dining, festivals, and galleries. The Olive Suite consists of 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, full sized kitchen, two full sized sofa sleepers ,and a spacious walk-in shower. The suite also features a separate living room which includes one of the two full-sized futon sofa sleepers. Our kitchen includes such amenities as a toaster oven/air fryer, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, four burner stove top, oven, and spacious refrigerator with freezer. There is also an electric grill on site and large outdoor dining area that seats twelve. This cottage does have access ( by request ) to an on site washer / dryer . We have also provided beach chairs and a yoga mat for use during your stay. The Porch offers multiple fire pits , in our shared courtyard area, books , lawn games, plenty of books in our tiny libraries, and s'more kits ( by request) along with ample parking in our off street parking lot. Best of all, we are right on the main parade trail! Don't forget to tag us with your photo in front of our memory wall, and remember... Magic happens on the Porch.

We also offer add-on packages for firewood and Smores kits (including electric tabletop option with everything needed for Smores).

We have a helpful staff nearby that regularly checks on the property to ensure a pleasurable guest experience.
