PLEASE READ OUR REVIEWS. This is a comment from one of our guests
This is one of the only homes we saw in the entire area that is ground level and not up on stilts. I can't explain how valuable it was to our family to have her able to participate in every activity indoors and out! The accommodations were bordering on luxurious. Due to the small size of our group, everyone had plenty of space in this very large home. We spent a lot of time outdoors enjoying the property. The hot tub was used every evening as was the fire pit for smores. Days and nights were spent fishing and crabbing off the dock. The dock is a very substantial dock with several chairs and a covered bench swing. Fishing was excellent, especially when the tide was moving, during outgoing tides we caught freshwater fish including loads of bluegill, catfish and gar and during incoming tides we caught a mix of redfish, croakers and even sheepshead. We caught a lot of crab in the traps, unfortunately they were mostly undersized. A small alligator frequented the water in the little inlet in front of dock. He was easy to spot and get photos of as long as you approached the dock quietly. Meals were a pleasure to cook, either in the very well-appointed kitchen or on either the gas grill or the green egg just off the back deck (which runs the entire length of the home). Many hours were spent relaxing on the deck with a book, by Grandma, while watching outdoor activities take place. The kitchen had all of the necessities and then some, we brought staples and ended up leaving them unopened because the pantry was so well stocked. There are two grocery stores with in a 10–15-minute drive and we got fresh seafood from fish market daily.
If there are any problems, we or our families' members are usually close by. Minimum stays vary by season and decrease as open dates approach. Prices especially weekdays reduced drastically about two weeks prior if vacant. If you want us to notify you of those reductions let us know. We honor all rates that we post intentionally (we were hacked once in ten years). IF YOU BOOK WITH US OR ANYONE, BE SURE AND SPEAK WITH A LIVE PERSON AFTER BOOKING FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION. if you book with us, we usually call within minutes to verify and always within 24 hours.
Some extra restrictions and rules on motorcycles and motorcycle noise. The neighbors can explain why.
The first one third of a cord of firewood is provided. After that we charge $50 per one third of a cord. That is our cost.
If you purchase insurance, you are responsible for filing claims.
No smoking or vaping inside the house. Smoking permitted on exterior porches and in extremely bad weather in the garage with the garage door open. EXCESSIVE NOISE COMPLAINTS FROM NEIGHBORS will yield full or partial forfeiture of your security deposit of $200 to the charity of the neighbor's choice. Security deposit of $1000 may be required for large bookings. Arrival with more guest than the amount booked for IS GROUNDS FOR cancellation and forfeiture of rent. (A couple of folks, no big deal. NOT TWENTY). Renter must inform owners of extra day guests on the property. Failure to do so is grounds for eviction with forfeiture of rent..............NO HOUSE PARTIES!!!!!!!
For last minute bookings in winter pool may not be 80 degrees but hot tub warms up in 5 hours. Pool will be 80 and hot tub 98 unless we notify you otherwise. Hot tub has been out of service only 2 times in 10 years. House cleaners may still be present if your booking is last minute.
We are quite easy to work with but if you book for 5 people and show up with 32 we are not going to see eye to eye. If we ask a lot of questions when you book, we have been there and have all the T Shirts. We are actually very easy to work with as long as you are not trying to pull one over on us (see reviews).
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About Richard East
Pass Christian Waterfront Vacation Home by Dick East 228.547.0286 text or call Retired Southwest Airlines Pilot and Music Teacher. We bought this home gutted after Katrina and rebuilt it with contractors and family help. We have five kids aged 31 to 39 and we wanted room for them and their friends. They are in Texas and on the West Coast and do not visit often. We thus decided to turn it into a short term rental and it has turned out extremely well. We have a permanent residence eight minutes away. The home is extremely kid and family friendly. We try to make sure everyone has a memorable visit and of course strive to build repeat business. Why they chose this propertyIDEAL FOR LARGE FAMILIES OR GROUPS. Quiet, on the river, spacious rooms, pool table, , hot tub, lots of room. Awesome sunsets. Wildlife. Large Big Green Egg for BBQ enthusiasts. JENNAIR GAS GRILL. Large parties and gatherings are allowed...... but loud music is allowed by written permission only so there are never any misunderstandings and neighbors can be informed. If you are planing a wedding or large party (more than 25 people) , please write us to discuss it before booking. What makes this property uniqueHot Tub. Fish/boat dock in back yard. Great fishing right on the property. Beach Chairs, Tent, Wagon. Large Big Green Egg Ceramic Cooker. Should you need additional accommodations for large group we know other home owners that do short term rentals and know the area well.
