Listing highlights

Elevated cottage with soaring ceilings

A 576 sq ft cottage elevated in the trees with 19-foot ceilings and a private patio

A peaceful, private retreat

Guests describe it as peaceful and private, with many returning for repeat visits
Wake up in the midst of coastal pines and live oaks. An elevated one-bedroom retreat 14 feet up (stairs only), offering simple comforts, local art, and a relaxed, real-home feel.
This is a thoughtfully cared-for space designed for guests who appreciate character, nature, and easy living rather than a hotel-style stay.

The space
Modern design meets coastal comfort in this 576 sq ft home. 15' in the trees with 19' elevated ceilings, creates a unique environment for a coastal retreat. "Relaxing", "open", and "inspiring" are a few words we regularly hear from visitors. Our native garden, is full of birds, hummingbirds, and butterflies! Please help yourself to the herbs.....rosemary, mint, and basil! Two block walk to beach, 2.5 miles to Bay St Louis, MS with historic artist downtown with shopping, dining, bike and kayak rentals.

Guest access
Keyless code with manual thumb bolt.

Other things to note
It's a small home and we've limited the capacity to 2 (ADULTS ONLY). There is NO TV, but according to my son, really fast internet. Due to severe allergies and wildlife preservation, we have a strict NO PETS and NO SMOKING policy.

From the host

Named "Waveland" because people use to sit on their porches and wave to passer-bys, most locals will still greet you on the beach path with a 'morning' or 'hi y'all!' Waveland was almost completely destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. While the city is still struggling to rebuild, there remains plenty of green open spaces for us to still enjoy. Our property is .75 acres and only have neighbors to the east. Bay St Louis, a 3 mile bike ride east, offers locally owned restaurants and shops. Very quaint. There are festivals throughout the summer and a Second Saturday Artwalk every month in the evening with local musicians, free food/drink, and shops open until 8pm. Our beach is "bay-like" so great for fishing, kayaking, and sunning.

My work: Enjoying life
We are so fortunate to have this home. Last year, a major network TV show helped us build and featured our story. We are a busy family that loves nature, biking, gardening, and a nice glass of wine at the end of the day. We play tennis while my son plays the internet :). We are positive people that are hope you find your stay in our home as pleasurable as we do!
