in a minute’s walk of the inn
Tucked among the beautiful scenery of downtown Ocean Springs, you’ll find a little bed and breakfast, hidden in plain sight. The Inn is within walking distance of shops, restaurants, museums, and the beach— it is the perfect place to stay while exploring this one-of-a-kind coastal town.
