Excellent stay

We came to Ocean Springs for a quick weekend trip with friends. The Mockingbird Inn is a great property and the wrap around porch was awesome for visiting with friends and just enjoying the surroundings. Nothing beats a southern porch. The Fern suite was very comfortable, nicely decorated, very clean and had everything that you could want for a nice getaway. It is also very convenient to downtown and all of the action but far enough away that it is very quiet. I highly recommend this property

Great getaway

My daughter, my pup and myself stayed two nights in this charming rental. Although the MS heat was a bit unbearable, we stayed cool and were close to all we had planned. The beach is maybe a four minute car ride and quiet. The shops are cool to walk by and experience the locale. Will definitely stay again if we are this way. Our hosts were available when needed and we had a great stay!

Great stay

We visited Ocean Springs for a quick family visit and found this cute little inn. The Fern Suite at The Mockingbird Inn was perfect. This suite was on the back left side of the house and felt very private. We will definitely return next time we’re on the coast.
