Ground level home steps from the beach in Waveland

Located just 600 feet away from the white sandy beaches of the Mississippi Coast, the CREOLA BEACH COTTAGE is an open and airy, family-friendly villa. A short 3-minute walk with easy beach access is all it takes for you to start soaking up the sun. If relaxing in the shade is more your style, ceiling fans and beach breezes provide ideal conditions on the cottage's ground-level front porch. A large fenced yard adds the perfect setting for evening cookouts, stargazing, and plenty of outdoor fun.
