Harbor View Cottages-Overlooking Historic Harbor and Beach

Harbor View Cottages - (Newly Renovated, February 2022!!)

126 West Scenic Drive - East Cottage
Pass Christian, MS 39571


Overlooking the historic Pass Christian Yacht Harbor (only one of three 19th century resort harbors with Cape May and Newport being the other two) and Gulf of Mexico, this adorable Acadian cottage offers all the amenities one expects of Southern hospitality and charm. The cottage has three large bedrooms, two baths, a very large living room and kitchen plus a utility room with washer and dryer. The back yard is picket fenced and ready for your pet. Sitting on the front porch at sunset watching the boats come in the harbor melts away all tensions of the day.

The sugar white beaches stretch twenty six miles. A boat launch is across the street with trailer storage on the property. Fresh fish, oysters, crab and shrimp are for sale at the harbor on a daily basis. Charter boat fishing or fishing from the harbor gazebos (across the street) avail those interested in sport fishing.

Being in the heart of the Historic District, restaurants abound within walking distance as well as antique shops and boutiques. Historic mansions and centuries old live oak trees line Scenic Drive.

Las Vegas style casinos are minutes away in Gulfport and Biloxi and New Orleans is just an hour away. For those golfers, there are 20 PGA courses on the Coast with three being in Pass Christian: a world class Arnie Palmer couse at The Bridges, The Oaks and Pass Christian Isle.

Many wonderful events occur here on the Coast bringing in people from all over the country. The cottage is located on the Pass Christian Mardi Gras Parade route (the second largest Mardi Gras parade on the entire Gulf Coast) and we always have a huge buffet for friends and guests. St. Paul's seafood festival is in June and right down the street. Art in the Pass is a juried art show in April and Christmas in the Pass is a huge draw. But, best of all is 'Crusin the Coast'. At Harbor View you have a front row seat watching the thousands of antique cars 'crusin' between Bay St. Louis and Biloxi, These are but a few of the many festivals on the Coast.

Whether browsing the library four doors down, playing croquet in the front yard or taking your chances at the many casinos, you will find all the elements for a perfect and fun vacation at Harbour View. We look forward to pampering you.

Pets are accepted upon approval with a 75.00 non refundable pet deposit. Smoking is permitted outside only. Damage Deposits may be doubled for certain events.

Best vacation cottage ever
My boys and I have been renting vacation cottages for 12 years now, and this was by far our favorite. Very clean, and well equipped, and the boys could walk to the fishing pier and beach. We loved it!

Convenient and cozy stay
We traveled to the Pass for a regatta. This was the perfect spot for getting to and from the yacht club, visiting friends and dining out. The doggies were happy and safe in the fenced in backyard. The house was spacious and had everything we needed. Made for a fun, memorable weekend.

Always pleasant
As always, our stay was pleasant and relaxing. The location is perfect for walks or just to sit and relax on the porch viewing the harbor. Diane and Kathy are gracious hostesses who work to make the stay pleasant. Our dogs like those walks also!

Great cottage, great time!
My family and I had a great time. Cottage was lovely and exactly as described. I grew up in this town. It's wonderful to have such a lovely place to go to when I visit. The coziness of this place is so much better than a hotel room. Thanks Diane!

We love staying at Harbour Oaks. This was our second year for staying there. Everything was great and Diane and her daughter were so nice and wanted to make sure everything was ok with us. Hope to go back next year. The cottage was very clean and had all that we needed to make us comfortable.

Wonderful location!
The house is roomy and location great. We loved the view and being able to walk to great restaurants in minutes. What I would recommend is that the mattress in the middle bedroom be replaced and upgraded to a queen size. My brother and his wife said they didn't get a wink of sleep because they felt every spring in the existing mattress. Other than that, perfect stay.

Harbor Oaks is our favorite place to stay!
We had stayed at the cottage several times during previous ownership. The updates that have been made are very nice. Cottage is clean and comfortable. Owners were very friendly and accommodating. Check in was easy. The location is key for us. My husband goes out on fishing charters, he can easily walk across the street and meet up with his captain for the day. The beaches are just across the street and are kept very clean. We love the local restaurants and laid back atmosphere. This is our favorite vacation spot and our favorite place to stay. We will definitely be back again soon.

"The View, Location, and Gracious Hostess"
Harbour Oaks was the most perfect vacation location! Comfortable cottage with charming décor that made us want to let this be a permanent get-a-way! Several times a year. The view was beautiful and the location was close to downtown, beach, and harbor. The gracious hostess made us feel so at home. Had cookies waiting for us on the kitchen table, and let us know anything we needed was a call away. Who could ask for anything more...Well, maybe a longer stay.. Thanks for a wonderful week!

Wonderful property owner---Comfy, spacious, clean….
We enjoyed this spacious home with our two kids very much. The home was clean and had lots of room to spread out unlike a hotel. The beds were very soft and comfy. The house felt safe and was ideally located around services. We enjoyed bumming around the many beaches and coastal towns. Our deposit was refunded in a short few days and Diane was kind enough to let me know we had left something behind and mailed it along with our refund check. Thanks Diane.

Excellent location, comfortable cottage with a pleasant and responsive owner.
We loved our experience in Pass Christian and would love to return. The cottage was perfect. While it was just the two of us with our pups; the house has the space for more. We could see the harbor from the front porch and several good and fun restaurants within walking distance. The library was a short block away. We ventured in to New Orleans several times as it was an easy drive to and from. Diane was able to give us reliable references for where to eat and visit in the Mississippi Gulf Coast area. As you can see, we enjoyed our month in the ‘Pass’ and hope to be a regular return renters.

Wonderful Beach Retreat
We did a Monday through Friday stay with 4 children ages 3-11. Diane was a wonderful hostess. She was gracious and had lots of information on what to do in the area. The beds were comfortable and the house was well stocked. There is a fenced backyard the kids could play in when not at the beach. The front porch has a great view of the harbor and is a perfect location for an early morning coffee retreat. We had been to the beach in Pass Christian before and thought it would a great location to take kids to the beach. They had a great time, the beach was open with only few people there. Thank you Diane, we will be back.

In the words of Robert Palmer ---- Simply Irrestible!!!!
OMG! It was WONDERFUL! Diane made us feel right at home right off. The pictures and description above don't even begin to describe it. If you are looking for a comfortable, clean, relaxing place, this is it! We walked to the beach every day. Playground equipment, swimming and fishing all right there. Restaurants within walking distance, beautiful park, library.....It was great! Don't forget to buy some shrimp in the harbor! We would recommend Harbour Oaks to everyone (Just be sure to leave "our week" alone! LOL) We can't wait to go back next year!

Mary Jo and the Girls from Jackson, MS
We had a wonderful time at Harbor Oaks last week. Two of the 6 days we were there, we did nothing except relax. It was nice being able to go across the street to get fresh shrimp right off the boat for Saturday night and went again to bring some home. We also spent a little time across the street at the beach. Amber, my poodle, enjoyed herself too, she wanted to come visit the big dogs so bad. The house was very clean and well stocked, Diane even told us if we need any spices to just come get some of hers--we did borrow a big pot to cook the shrimp. We went to New Orleans Sunday, only about an hour away, and spent Saturday at Ocean Springs' farmers market and taste of the city, only 30 minutes away. We were happy to see that so much of the COAST is back after the hurricane. We are looking forward to enjoying Diane hospitality again soon. Only thing we found the might need attention is a blind or shade in the front bedroom--lights from the marina are really bright all night.

Oh where to start....Well first, number 1, there is a Great Hostess, Sweet Diane;) I felt as if we'd been pals forever....We felt right at home....The Cottage is spacious, with plenty of room in all three of the bedrooms, as well as a very nice kitchen and living room, laundry room and fenced backyard....Comfy beds and furniture....I felt like I slept on a cloud....The location was perfect for us, the beach, just across the street, was "ours" for the week....Our two children, 3 and 5 y/o, had fun trying to get close to the birds, finding shells with the crabs that claim them, playing in the sand and on the playground at the beach, I did mention the beach right across the street;)....Institute for Marine Mammal Studies, a great place, in Gulf Port....The FOOD....Shaggy's on the harbor right across the street is very tasty/fresh....Fresh Daily Catch available....The area is magnificent, the shoreline wildlife/ spirit/ atmosphere/ perseverance is truly inspiring:) We will visit again:)

Just what we were looking for !
We recently traveled to Pass Christian, MS and met our daughter, her husband & 2 small boys, ages 6 & 2 for a weeks vacation @ Harbour Oaks Cottage. It was a wonderful time for everyone, there was ample room for all of us, the furnishings were great and the kitchen was a great place to cook and visit around the table. One day we bought fresh shrimp and tuna across the street at the Marina and made a low country boil, it was awesome !! Nothing like fresh ingredients to make a meal even more delicious !! We enjoyed the warm Gulf waters and the white sand beaches, we practically had it all to ourselves, so we felt we could safely leave our things on the beach without having to stay with it the whole time. It was great for the boys, because the water is shallow enough & there are no waves, so they could play in it without worrying too much about them being knocked over with waves and getting in too deep. It was our 2 yr old grandson's first beach trip and he had a blast. There were lots of hermit crabs, herons, and even dolphins playing within sight. Across the street from the cottage is Bacchus on the Beach, which is great, as well as Shaggy's seafood at the Marina. There are parks close by with play sets for the kids as well. We also traveled a few miles up the road and took the kids to the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center and to The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies,... both were great places for the kids ( and us big kids too ) with very reasonable admission fees. Diane, the owner, is a wonderful and accommodating hostess, very knowledgeable and a pleasure to get to know,... we hope to make it back that way again, we really enjoyed our time at the Pass !!

Hidden gem!
I cannot say enough good things about this home and the precious owners. They made evacuating from a hurricane seem more like a vacation. Pass Christian is a hidden gem and so is this beautiful home. Super comfortable without being too big. The kids loved the huge yard and watching the boats across the street. We will be back!!!
