The Orchard House -close to beach & only two blocks from downtown Ocean Springs!

Nestled just a couple of blocks from the heart of downtown Ocean Springs, The Orchard House offers a peaceful, cozy retreat surrounded by fruit trees and lush greenery. Whether you're visiting for a weekend getaway or planning an extended stay, this charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is the perfect spot to relax, unwind, and enjoy all the beauty that Ocean Springs has to offer.

The moment you step inside, you'll feel right at home. The large, fully equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing meals with ease, whether you’re cooking up a family dinner or reheating leftovers from one of the delicious local restaurants nearby. It has all the essentials – from a coffee pot and tea kettle to a microwave, toaster, and cookware. If you're in the mood for grilling, a propane grill on the side deck is ready to go, making it the perfect spot for a sunny afternoon or a casual evening cookout.

The Primary bedroom is your personal oasis. With a king-size bed, two spacious closets, and a private bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and large soaking tub, it’s designed to help you relax after a long day of exploring or lounging on the beach. You’ll also find a Roku TV here, perfect for catching up on your favorite shows or winding down with a movie. The second bedroom has a queen-size bed, and the guest bathroom is just outside the door.

The living area is designed for relaxation, with a leather sofa, chair, and ottoman, all arranged around a large Smart TV. The room is spacious, and the ceiling fan keeps things cool when you want to relax and watch a movie or enjoy a good book. Speaking of books, the home features a cozy reading/yoga room where you can stretch, meditate, or simply enjoy a moment of peace. Yoga mats, blocks, and straps are provided for those who like to start their day with a bit of mindfulness.

The deck off the kitchen is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or evening drink. It features a small table and the grill, making it an ideal spot to relax and take in the surrounding greenery. A newly built fire pit area is perfect for enjoying outdoor space in the Gulf breezes.

While The Orchard House offers a tranquil escape, it’s also conveniently located just a short walk from downtown Ocean Springs, one of the cutest coastal towns in Mississippi. In just 2-3 blocks, you’ll find a variety of unique shops, cozy bars, and delicious restaurants. If you’re in the mood for adventure, the beach, parks, and casinos are just a short drive away, offering a wide range of activities and entertainment.

Great stay

The house was very clean and perfect location to walk to everything downtown. I didn’t realize the house was right next to very active train tracks; but even with that, I would still stay again. Beds are comfy. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided.
