We absolutely loved our stay at Emily’s place. It was exactly as pictured, communication was excellent, and it was close to everything we needed. It was perfect for families with young children and babies! We didn’t have to bring a pack and play, baby monitor, or high chair which helped SO much!! This was our first time to Ocean Springs and it definitely won’t be the last. We look forward to staying with Emily again.

We came in town for the weekend for a concert and fell in love with Emily’s condo. It’s so comfortable and adorable. And organized! Literally obsessed with the hardwood floors. And Emily was a fantastic host. I can’t recommend her or her place enough.

Emily was helpful and friendly. We had a drainage problem in the bath tub but she had a plumber over quickly to fix it. It was a good place to relax for a few days.

1000000/10 would recommend. Emily was a fantastic host and the other adults along with me on this trip agreed, we will likely look her places up to stay again before going anywhere else for availability. Hands down a 5 ⭐️ experience all around.

We loved staying here and would definitely come back! Emily was a great host, she was super responsive, friendly, and made everything really easy for us. The place is so cute, clean, and had such a cozy feel. The location is amazing too. It’s super walkable with great shops, restaurants, and coffee spots just a short stroll away. We also had such a good time just hanging out and relaxing by the pool. It was quiet and the perfect spot to unwind. Definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a fun and relaxing getaway!
