Discover the Secret Coast with us at Front Beach Cottages. Our charming Front Beach Cottages and private courtyard are perfectly situated within walking distance of both the beautiful sands of Front Beach and the many historic attractions of downtown Ocean Springs, including shopping, dining and more. Our four charming cottages are nestled beneath the large oaks of downtown Ocean Springs, and each features its own unique personality and design. Experience the spirit and fun of the idyllic island of Key West right here in our Key West Cabana. NOLA Cottage is named after our neighbor, the "Big Easy", aka New Orleans, and it is filled with French Quarter flare. Our Lagniappe Cottage has a vibe of its own, and it offers our guests "a little something extra". And, our most spacious accommodation, Bellande Cottage, is inspired by the creative culture of downtown Ocean Springs. Originally constructed in the 1940s and 50s as fishing shacks for locals, all of the cottages have been completely renovated and updated, while maintaining the original charm of the era in which they were built. Front Beach Cottages is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway with ample opportunity for adventure. We have creative options for accommodating larger parties, and we tend to stay booked up quite often, so make your reservation today and experience the creative culture of Ocean Springs!
Just like your favorite fishing hole, you don't really want to tell people of your best discoveries, you want to keep it all to yourself. That's how we feel about The Key West cottage at Front Beach Cottages. Our Hosts made us feel completely at home, lots of privacy and close to everything we care about. We hope to return soon, but for a longer stay.

We stayed in the Lagniappe cabin during the last week of August 2023. It was very clean and comfortable. Bridgette is a lovely hostess and so accommodating. We didn't use the kayaks, bicycles or golf cart, but it was nice that they were available. I did use the laundry room and I appreciated its availability. The mattress on our king size bed was softer than ours at home, but we slept very well. Ocean Springs is a nice little town with a number of boutiques, and good restaurants. We would definitely love to come back sometimes.

The perfect get away for anyone! This place thought of everything you could want. We enjoyed riding bikes, the fire pit, and the outdoor shower after the beach. The bed was ultra soft and the air conditioning was the best. This couple thought of everything- from a bottle opener to two separate shower heads. I will love to go back again. The newest addition was the golf cart. We didn't use it, but plan on it next time. Thanks

What a fantastic hidden gem! We stayed in the Key West cabana and it did not disappoint! We were provided with everything we needed. The exterior and interior were very clean. It was cozy, quiet, and relaxing. We loved the option of having bikes to use if we wanted. We only stayed for a quick day trip, but we will certainly stay again! Thank you Bridgette and Mark!

Our family rented the Bellande and Lagniappe cottages for a long weekend as an alternative to the monotony of a hotel. Everything could not have been more perfect! We’ll appointed, pristine and extremely comfortable. We reserved the golf cart Sunday for downtown fun and beach trips which gave our experience added pleasure. There’s also an outdoor fire table to sit around as you “wine down” for the evening. The owner, Bridget was so friendly and answered our texts within minutes! On your next stay to Ocean Springs, this is where you should stay for a “perfect “ experience!

Front Beach Cottages were delightful! We stayed in Nola Cottage which was spacious, comfortable, complete with kitchenette, and a bathroom with shower and soaker tub. There was a secluded screen porch off the back which added to the peaceful serenity. In addition, parking was separate from the backyard which accessed the cottages. If you wish, you can use bicycles and kayaks with no added cost. We washed clothes in the laundry room which made the stay even more comfortable. Bridgette, our owner/host was extremely helpful and friendly and responded immediately to any questions or needs we had. Plus, being on a back street with a short walk to the harbor makes Front Beach Cottages an ideal location for a peaceful getaway. Our daughter recommended that we stay here and she was spot-on. If you come to Ocean Springs, you couldn't do better than Front Beach Cottages…

Great location because it’s very walkable to town and water but it’s quiet. Plenty or space for a few nights of exploring area. Comfy bed, plenty of towels, good communication. Love a Keurig and little refrigerator and microwave in our cabin.

We really enjoyed our cottage and the quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Personal attention was given when booking and clear instructions on check-in. We requested a couple of items and they were furnished promptly. The quiet courtyard and other visitors were very friendly and respectful. Downtown art museums, restaurants and shops were all within walking distance as well as the beach. You can literally park your car and walk everywhere, if you choose. We had visited Ocean Springs in the past, but the two night visit made it really enjoyable and personal. We plan to return and have recommended Front Beach Cottages to several friends!

You can walk to beaches, restaurants, coffee shops, Main Street for a night out. I can't rave enough. The hosts are super reliable and responsive. The parking was off street and easy to use. There was a nice screen porch we enjoyed as well.

This place is like an oasis in a story book town. A wonderful atmosphere and clean pace to call home when out of town. There are plenty of great places to eat and many are dog friendly. The beach is clean and fun in the sun.
