This place was the complete vacation package for our stay in Ocean Springs/Biloxi MS. We were able to travel with our 2 small dogs with a big fenced in back yard to roam, small ride over to all the casinos, charming village to discover and a relaxing home with backyard pool to boot! We could not be happier with this stay. It had everything we needed. All the kitchen supplies, bathroom needs, washer/dryer and televisions in every room. Home was ready early and host responded quickly to everything even down to the smallest detail. On our drive over, I placed a grocery delivery order with the local Walmart and it arrived promptly. Our dog had a health issue during our stay and we found the nicest vet 10 min down the road that saw us same morning we called and took care of us. Many restaurants and grocery stores within driving distance. We had an issue with the coffee pot and she delivered a new one within the hour. Home was so relaxing with beautiful art throughout. I spent most of my time on the enclosed back porch every morning watching the squirrels play. I cannot say enough nice things about this home. So much thought has been put into every crevice of this place. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to stay and will always keep this one as our choice spot when we travel to Biloxi again! Thank you so much fpr having us!

Our stay in Mermaid Dreams was absolutely perfect. The home is so well appointed. We met our college kiddos in town for Thanksgiving and we had everything we needed to make dinners and spend lot's of quality time together. Our kids enjoyed there being a tv in every room. We enjoyed the 4 season room and beautiful pool deck. We didn't get to swim since it was November but the pool looked very inviting. The property is in walking distance of the ocean and great restaurants and shops in the golf cart district. Mermaid dreams was clean and well maintained. The neighborhood is pretty quiet minus a barking dog early in the morning and train horns in a distance. I recommend bringing a power strip or two if your family has lot's of devices like ours to charge up.

Everything was perfect for our stay. The amenities were all well stocked, the pool was clean (a bit chilly, but understandable given the time of year!) and we had plenty of space to relax and socialize or to even just take a nap or some time to ourselves. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and easy to find. We did not rent the golf cart, but if we had, it would have been great to take to downtown Ocean Springs. We would definitely recommend this property to there visitors to Ocean Springs. It has everything you need for a great stay, the host was amazing to work with and the paintings inside- beautiful!

5 Star Stay
As a local, I can confidently say this home is in a good neighborhood—safe, quiet, and just a 5-minute golf cart ride to both Government Street and East Beach. We felt incredibly comfortable and secure throughout our stay.The house was spotless—amazingly clean for a pet-friendly place (you’d never know pets are allowed). Everything was thoughtfully arranged, from perfectly placed decor to plenty of towels. The A/C kept us cool even during a record-breaking heat wave, and the water pressure in the master bath is next-level strong!The pool was a huge bonus and ideally gets some shade by around 3pm, making it perfect for summer afternoons. There's plenty of space to spread out and relax.Communication with the host was easy and seamless—they truly went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We will definitely be staying here again when we visit our family in the area!
