Welcome to Took the Bayt â your coastal home base in Bay St. Louis!
This 3-bedroom, 2-bath getaway sleeps up to 8 and sits right on a boat-friendly canal with easy access to Bayou LaCroix and the Jourdan River. Whether you're fishing for redfish, cruising to the sandbar, or just enjoying the water views, this spot is the perfect place to launch your next adventure.

The open living space is light-filled and inviting, with a huge sectional (seats 8+), smart TV, and plenty of room to unwind. Gather around the dining table for 6 or grab a seat at the kitchen island (4 barstools) for meals, game night, or a casual breakfast.
The kitchen is fully stocked with all the basics, plus some extras like a blender, crockpot, and Instant Pot for easy vacation meals.
