The Fin & Feather. A Gorgeous Seaside Cottage.2 docks. An incredible experience!

Welcome to The Fin & Feather, a true Mississippi Gulf adventure!
Our family found this secret spot years ago and just knew we wanted to share it with folks like you.
This waterfront cottage is a nature lovers dream!
The elevated home offers both Gulf & Bayou access. It’s just the perfect balance of Sea & Wetlands for relaxing, unwinding and experiencing the natural riches of the Gulf of America.
A massive deck wraps all the way around the cottage for incredible views. It’s so incredible to just sit comfortably in the lounge chairs with a cold drink and watch the shrimp and crab boats coast by on their way out to the gulf. The sunsets here are simply stunning.
If you are looking for a protected inlet to launch your kayak or boat for exploring the bayou and some Island hopping, look no further. The Fin & Feathers’ peninsula has 2 private docks & a boat slip.

“An awesome place for some excellent fishing or hanging out on the islands” _Brian

It’s like another world here at the cottage. The fishing & crabbing from our docks is incredible. All of the large water bird species here are amazing to observe. You can even spot pods of dolphins most anytime.

Both docks have lights for night fishing and have direct access to the Gulf of America & Graveline (pronounced Grav-a-Leen) Bayou.

“ We brought our boat and tied up at the covered dock. We fished the bayou every day and the docks at night. Caught a lot. can’t wait to come back next year ” _L.A.

Whether you’re here for fun or for work, we want your time to be comfortable and worry free. So we’ve outfitted the cottage with everything for the perfect stay. From the utensils, cookware and appliances in the new Chef inspired kitchen with seating for 8, to the 3 on-suites with tubs/showers & hair driers in every bathroom! (There are plenty of supplies like soaps, shampoos and paper products too. (You should never have to get to your vacation home and then immediately have to leave again for supplies)
The high speed Wi-Fi is FREE, of course and every room has a Smart-TV for streaming all of your favorites. We’ve added a fantastic new pellet grill too, just right for the BBQ Master in your group.
The large living room has plenty of seating for family game night & there is another large screen Smart -TV above the fireplace. We’ve put together a nice collection of games and books as well.
The Fin & Feather is perfect for all types of weather. For instance,
* The BBQ Station
* Observation Deck
* Hammock
* Dock with Boat slip
…Are ALL under cover. Dry & Cool!

** Please note: The pool and boat launch next door are private for their members only and cannot be accessed by guests.**

"Our engineering team booked for 6 weeks and had an amazing time. We couldn't ask for a better remote work environment" _Tony

So, now that you know how incredible The Fin & Feather Cottage is. What about the rest of the area?
How about Soaking up local culture is easy in nearby historic Ocean Springs’ ART GALLERIES, SHOPS & RESTAURANTS?
If you’re feeling more adventurous, The CASINOS & NIGHTLIFE of Biloxi are right up the road too. (Treasure Bay Casino has an amazing all you can eat seafood buffet)
After a fun day out, just retreat back here for incredible sunsets & great times on the deck.
So, what are you waiting for? Book your stay now!

Amazing experience

This property was everything we were looking for. We were there for the 4th and were able to watch fireworks across the marsh. The fishing was great and the kids loved it. Great access to the gulf to run out to the islands. The boat dock on the back canal was perfect. Very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The host were very quick to respond to any questions we had leading up to our trip. Great experience and looking forward to another.

Perfect Get-away

We were looking for a "last-minute" get-away that we could both enjoy...and this place was perfect! Maria was so helpful in getting us all setup and booked when the App wouldn't accommodate our "last-minute" plans. It was great to be able to sit out on the wrap-around deck and watch the Gulf and the Bayou inlet. The fishing on the dock was fun...lots of bites and caught some fish! Very relaxing and quiet...enjoyed our stay! Will definitely be going back!
