Neighborhood

Experience the serenity of Pass Christian's stunning beaches and majestic oak tree-lined shores. Affectionately known as "The Pass," this tranquil community cherishes simplicity and a carefree lifestyle. Immerse yourself in the local coastal vibe by exploring unique shops, friendly restaurants, and unspoiled beaches, or venture a bit further to Historic Bay St. Louis or the lively casinos of Gulfport & Biloxi. Nestled in the heart of Downtown Pass Christian, our property is part of a charming Cottage community, surrounding a picturesque courtyard. Each Cottage contributes to the warm, welcoming atmosphere that defines our community, making it a tranquil haven for guests seeking rest and relaxation. At The Pelican's Nest, you'll be a stone's throw away from the charm of Pass Christian's downtown area. Take a brief 5-minute walk to the beach or explore an array of unique shops and delightful restaurants. With a different restaurant within walking distance every night, your culinary options are vast. For a change of scenery, consider a day trip to the nearby towns of Bay St. Louis, Long Beach, Gulfport, Biloxi, and Ocean Springs.

Guest Access

You’ll have the entire cottage to yourself. Entry is secure—codes are changed between each guest for your safety. While the home is fully independent, it shares exterior stairs with the neighboring cottage. The peaceful neighborhood atmosphere makes this a great place to slow down and settle in.

The cottage was a perfect spot to stop and relax with my husband and baby for a couple days for a little getaway from the hustle and bustle. The restaurants are amazing and close by! The cottage was cozy and clean and had plenty of linens, we loved sitting on the porch and taking in the quiet of the community and beautiful scenery.

Caroline’s place was just as described and in a great location. I walked my dog in the neighborhood and to downtown from the cottage. Caroline was super responsive and extremely pleasant! I hope to return when I have more time to spend in The Pass!

Our second time staying in two months! It’s officially our “go to” spot on the coast. I don’t remember what I said in my last review, but all of that plus more. I woke up each morning to take the pup on a walk. It’s such a safe neighborhood and everyone we met was so friendly. It’s the perfect location to relax and walkable to so many places. Just a few minutes of a beachside drive and you can be at casinos or anything else the coast has to offer. Caroline goes above and beyond to make it feel like home away from home! You will want to come right back like we did!

Me and my mom took a weekend trip to The Pass and enjoyed this cozy cottage so much. It was just enough space for us without it feeling too overwhelming. Great location and charming neighborhood. We’ll definitely be back and staying here on our next trip! Thanks Caroline!

We had a nice weekend getaway at this quaint cottage. It was spotlessly clean, generously equipped with linens, coffee, water, and all the basics. The porch was a lovely spot to enjoy morning coffee, observe the local birdlife, and relax in the evenings. The short walks to nearby shops and restaurants were a bonus. We look forward to coming back. Thank you Caroline for your quick response to our questions!

We really enjoyed our stay and are appreciative of the small details that made our stay that much more enjoyable. The host was very friendly, responsive and she also helped provide details about things to do which helped contribute to our local itinerary for the area. A great, peaceful place to stay!
