Mermaid's Muse - close to beach & downtown Ocean Springs! Includes golf cart!

***NEW LISTING*** Approximately a mile from the water, Mermaid's Muse is a beautiful, three-bedroom property near the white sands and beautiful sunsets of Ocean Springs beaches, as well as just down the road from the heart of the historic downtown Ocean Springs shopping/restaurant district. 

This charming, newly renovated cottage has three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and includes the use of a deluxe electric street-legal golf cart!

Mermaid Muse is the perfect place for a romantic weekend getaway, as well as week-long vacations with the family. 

Loaded with amenities, you will find a clean, artistically decorated space with all the conveniences of home.

Mermaid's Muse features a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances including an oven/stove, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, toaster, blender, Keurig coffee maker, and all the utensils you will need for preparing meals on days you rather stay in the comforts of home, rather than eating out at the numerous Ocean Springs hot-spots.

The living room provides a comfortable place to lounge in front of the large flat-screen SmartTV, and provides an extra place to sleep if needed with the pull-out Queen-size sofa bed. 

In the Master Bedroom, you will find a Sleep Number King bed and SmartTV, with a private bathroom.

There are two guest bedrooms with a full bathroom between them. The entire property is equipped with high-speed wireless Internet.

There is a front porch deck as well as a front balcony that provides outdoor seating to relax in the gulf breezes.

***Pets are allowed for a $150 non-refundable pet fee. Please select that you will be bringing a pet when making the reservation, or we will need to send an additional payment request after booking***

***There should be no more than six people on the property unless prior permission is given. No events or parties are allowed of any kind. We have exterior security cameras for the safety of both guests and property outside of the home. There are no inside cameras.***

Ocean Springs is a golf cart-friendly town, and we provide a four-seat deluxe electric golf cart with built-in radio & Bluetooth speakers for our guests to use to go to the beach and downtown at no additional cost.

While at Mermaid's Muse you will feel completely at home and never need to leave the property to have a fantastic stay, but if you can tear yourself away, you'll find yourself just down the road from the heart of the quaint historic town of Ocean Springs. It has many great restaurants, museums, art galleries, sidewalk cafes, antique stores, and unique gift shops for you to enjoy.

Mermaid's Muse is the perfect place for your vacation. Book your stay today!

We really enjoyed the outdoor porch and balcony, the close proximity to town, the availability of the golf cart which we used repeatedly, and the ambiance of the house. It would have been a tight fit with three couples, which we had first considered, but it worked very well for the four of us.

Comfortable house, great location

We stayed here with our daughter and 2 grandsons. It was the perfect size for us. The upstairs balcony was the perfect place for some quiet time. We were close enough to the beach to walk our dogs down there, but we also loved having a golf cart to ride around in. Chris (the property manager) was great to reach out and see if we needed anything.

Perfect Location, Awesome Space, Golfcart made the trip!

We had so much fun for our little weekend getaway in Ocean Springs! Mermaid’s Muse was perfect for us and we want to bring our friends back to stay - there would have been plenty of room for another couple or kids. It’s right on the Main Street of town but far enough away for quiet and not far from the beach! This town is so cute and fun. The included golf cart access truly made our whole trip.

Mermaid Muse - OMG

One word......fabulous. Mermaid Muse and Ocean Springs did NOT disappoint. We did a short trip not knowing what to expect. We will definitely make a return for longer next time. Cottage was beautiful. Town was beautiful. Golf Cart was an added sell for us. We really enjoyed it.

Lovely and charming

Mermaid’s Muse is a beautifully decorated small cottage, two stories, just on the edge of a vibrant and interesting downtown area and just a few blocks from the beach and the harbor.We loved the photos, but when we drove up, I didn’t see how the space we saw in the ad would fit into the cottage I was seeing. But it does. Beautifully. The three bedrooms are comfortably appointed and large enough to accommodate a couple in each room. The master has a king bed, and the others have either a full or queen. The kitchen is up-to-date and includes everything you’d need to feel at home, including a corkscrew and serving pieces. The living space is cozy and great for hanging out. The upper and lower porches are quiet and pleasant for coffee in the mornings and a glass of wine in the evenings. It felt like home, except I can only wish my home was a tastefully and comfortably decorated as the cottage.The golf cart was a fun addition, and access was easy. We absolutely would stay again and would (and will) recommend it to others.

Great location and super clean!

We loved this place! So much room and super clean. If we had any questions we got them answered. It’s close enough to the downtown area. Bonus…a golf cart for 4 was included. It was so convenient to get to the shops, delicious restaurants, and the beach area. I’ve been to OS several times and it is a lovely place for an adult trip. My teen enjoyed the shopping too. Definitely recommend and would stay again, if I go back.
