We rented this house due to the home and lake being so close to the Gulf. We came to the area honeymooning and fishing. It was perfect for the two of us. Nothing fancy but clean. The house wasn't equipped with an iron but we donated one so there should be no future problems there. I would suggest bringing your own throw blankets for lounging on the couch in the evenings. Those sunny days make for cool evenings! My only other suggestion would be to bring extra washcloths and towels, if there's more than two people staying in this home. There were 6 washcloths and towels provided, which was fine for the two of us but if there would have been more then I would've been doing laundry almost everyday, just for a clean washcloth. The view of the lake is nice and the geese are friendly. The neighbors were friendly and we felt safe leaving our kayaks locked up under the house. Pass Christian is very friendly little town and seemed like a very safe area. We ended up extending our stay by one extra night! Local recommendations - SHIP ISLAND is a must if you enjoy the outdoors and exploring. We enjoyed Bay St Louis and it's quaintness. Fishing off the seawalls and piers was neat. Really cool to see all the different salt water catches. I watched a man tug with a 6-7 foot shark for 25 mins. He was able to get him to surface for the spectators right before the line snapped. IT WAS GORGEOUS! All in all we had a great honeymoon and visit to the MS Gulf Coast. This house was a resting place for us and it was perfect for it's job. You know the old saying, "You pay for what you get", well that's this house. It's not as expensive as some so it doesn't have all the bells and whistles 'some' rentals have, but you also aren't paying an arm and a leg just to rest your head in a comfortable setting. I'll for sure be staying here again and would recommend it to anyone!
