Beautiful home

My brother and I came to Ocean Springs to visit our parents. Communication with host was quick, polite, and helpful. Rose was very sweet and a pleasure to talk to on the phone. The house was more than comfortable and perfect for our dog (All tile floors and fenced yard) Host even provides sheets and towels to use for pets specifically. The back yard was fenced in and BEAUTIFUL! Kitchen well stocked and easy to cook in. The house is very convenient to downtown and a great place to stay if that is where you want to spend time. They even offer a golf cart to rent, although we did not use this. We are already trying to book again here for later in the year. I recommend this place and will be happy to return when needed.

Great location

The house was plenty big for the 3 of us and had all of the equipment we needed. The washer and dryer were really nice to have. Ocean Springs is such a nice town. I recommend renting the golf cart. It's such a great way to get around downtown and to the beach.

Great weekend getaway

Had a wonderful time visiting Ocean Springs and staying at The Garden Retreat. The home was roomy and comfortable. We spent a lot of time in the lovely back yard with our fur baby. It was a short walk to the downtown area where we walked around at the Peter Anderson Festival and shopped in the many stores. We highly recommend staying at The Garden Retreat. Thank you Rose and Valerie!

Perfect Retreat Space

Rose and Valerie were great hosts from the moment we arrived. Property was exactly as listed-very clean and well furnished. Garden space was perfect for our pets to have room to sniff and stretch their legs a bit as well as a relaxing spot for their humans! Quiet neighborhood, suited for morning walks. OS didn’t disappoint. Really enjoyed our long Easter weekend.
