About Mississippi Vacation Rentals

The Gulf Coast of Mississippi has everything one could ask for in a vacation destination. The warm winter climate makes this area a year-round vacation spot for enjoying the beautiful coastal scenery. Family attractions, casinos, culinary delights, and gorgeous beaches combine to create a vacation spot that can be enjoyed by all. A day in the Gulf can include fishing, sailing, hiking, swimming, parasailing, or just relaxing on a sun drenched beach.

The Mississippi Gulf Coast was home to the Biloxi Indians and was inhabited by both the Spanish and the French, causing multiple influences on the local culture. For a good example of how this history has intertwined the region, visit the Old Brick House in Biloxi. The museum is a combination of French Colonial and American style and serves as a museum highlighting the history of the region. The Gulfport Centennial Museum depicts the growth of Gulfport from 1898 to the present and contains photographs, an audio/visual room, and historic artifacts.

With more than 26 miles of white sand beaches, Mississippi's Gulf Coast is an ideal spot to work on your suntan. Beach Boulevard (U.S. Highway 90) offers numerous points to pull off and enjoy the sand and surf. If you have a need for more active recreation, there are numerous points along the beach that will rent jet skis, sailboats, canoes, kayaks, and even scuba equipment. The beaches are uniformly gorgeous, but Pass Christian and Long Beach, both located just west of the Biloxi/Gulfport area, are particularly stunning.

More beach time can be spent on Gulf Islands National Seashore, located a few miles offshore. The islands of Ship, Deer, Round, Horn, and Petit Bois make up a series of barrier islands and are all a part of the Seashore. The islands, with pristine, sparkling-white beaches, are known for their remoteness since they are only accessible by private or charter boat. Swimming, fishing, boating, hiking, nature photography, bird watching, and exploring are just a few of the activities enjoyed on the islands.

The Gulf Coast is also the place to find that perfect fishing story. There are over 200 varieties of saltwater fish swimming around these fish-heavy waters including amberjack, bonito, cobia, red snapper, king mackerel, and speckled trout. Sport mixes with fiesta during the Mississippi Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo, the largest event of its kind in the world, which takes place during the July 4th weekend. Other noted competitions in the area include the Kingmaster 100 and the Mississippi Gulf Coast Billfish Classic.
