Overview
Set Sail
Have your own beach on the bay, great views, and access to the Mississippi Sound at Set Sail! This bayfront home offers lovely rooms with sliding glass doors that open to the wraparound deck. Step into Set Sail with its high ceilings, open floor plan, and tons of windows drenching the house with the Island's natural light! Admire incredible views of the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and the gentle waters of the Mississippi Sound (Bay) to the north. The great room offers two separate living areas with the kitchen and dining area in the middle. On the Gulf side, gather around the comfy sitting area and fireplace. On the Sound (Bay) side, you'll find ample sofas, board games, and a Vizio Smart TV with DirecTV, a DVD player, and a stereo. The functional kitchen offers plenty of prep area for the cook, a side-by-side refrigerator/freezer with an icemaker and water dispenser, a dishwasher, a microwave, a range/oven, a coffee maker and all dishes, glasses, pots/pans, and silverware. Four bedrooms flank the home. On the southeast, the Gulf-side bedroom offers a set of bunk beds and a sleeper sofa, with a DVD player/monitor for movie watching - perfect for the kids. The northeast Sound-side bedroom is furnished with a king bed and extra seating. The other two west-side bedrooms are also furnished with king beds and DirecTV.

This property is so comfortable and right on the water with all of the amenities and space that you could ask for. We fit nine people in there without a problem and we’re all able to relax and cook together and have a great holiday.
Great house
We loved the breathtaking views, the layout of the house, and all of the amenities. All twelve of our family members (and the two dogs) agreed that we definitely want to stay here again! Vacasa staff was so nice to work with (responded to my texts immediately). Take note that the current pictures of house and description of construction next door is outdated as of July 2025. Nothing about this stay disappointed me! Bring some crabbing nets. The hermit crabs were all along the shore!
We had the best time during our stay. Having the water in the backyard was so nice and relaxing. We did have an issue with the air conditioner going out, which we know happens, but we wish it would’ve been handled differently. However, we didn’t let it ruin our vacation & everything else went smoothly.
We love Set Sail! It has become a family tradition to stay here for summer vacation. Beautiful location with perfect access to a private beach.
We had the best time. Super kid friendly!
