Biloxi Vacation Rentals

What you'll love about Biloxi

Biloxi has more historical depth than its casino reputation suggests—Beauvoir's Confederate history, the Civil War story of the Biloxi Lighthouse, and the extraordinary Frank Gehry-designed Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art give the city a cultural substance worth exploring. 

The Gulf's freshest seafood, barrier island ferry access to Ship Island's pristine National Seashore beaches, and a Mardi Gras season that's authentically local rather than tourist-facing round out a Gulf Coast destination that rewards visitors who go beyond the resort corridor.

Fun things to do

• Ferry to Ship Island for pristine National Seashore beaches and historic Fort Massachusetts.
• Visit Beauvoir, the stunning Gulf-front estate that was Jefferson Davis' final home and a fascinating Civil War landmark.
• Tour the Biloxi Lighthouse, one of the Gulf Coast's most iconic and historically significant structures.
• Visit the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art, designed by Frank Gehry and showcasing legendary local potter George Ohr's work.
• Cast a line or book a deep-sea charter fishing trip from Biloxi's Small Craft Harbor.
• Stroll the Biloxi Back Bay for a quieter waterfront perspective and excellent bird watching.
• Experience live entertainment, dining, and gaming at the Gulf Coast casinos.
• Day trip to neighboring Ocean Springs for its acclaimed arts community, galleries, and dining.
• Take a dolphin-watching boat tour from the Small Craft Harbor.
• Catch a game, concert, or event at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum.

Local tips

• Ship Island ferry tickets sell out fast in summer. Book well ahead for weekend trips.
• Ocean Springs (just across the bay) has one of the Gulf Coast's finest independent arts and dining scenes. Combine both cities for a full day.
• Biloxi Mardi Gras parades run in February. They're family-friendly and genuinely local; a very different experience from New Orleans.
• Casino resort restaurants offer surprisingly good dining options. Not just buffets.
• The Biloxi Lighthouse is one of few cast-iron lighthouses in the South and well worth the visit.
• Deep-sea fishing charters run year-round but peak in spring and summer. Book in advance. 
• The seafood is freshest April through October when the local fleet is most active.
• Cruisin' the Coast in October is one of the Gulf Coast's biggest annual events. Plan months ahead.

Gulf Coast history, fresh seafood, and waterfront energy

Biloxi rewards the explorer. Cross the bridge to Ocean Springs for dinner, take the ferry to Ship Island, eat at a seafood shack with no pretensions, and let the real Biloxi reveal itself. Book your vacation rental and let the adventure begin.
