Took the Bayt | Hooked on Canal Views, Sandbar Fun & Old Town Vibes

This 3-bedroom, 2-bath coastal retreat sleeps up to 8 and sits on a navigable canal leading to Bayou LaCroix and the Jourdan River. Whether you're reeling in redfish, cruising to the sandbar, or just soaking in the view, Took the Bayt is the perfect launchpad for your Bay St. Louis adventure.

While there’s no launch on-site, you’re just 6 minutes from Bayou LaCroix Marina (11160 MS-603) — an easy spot to launch your boat, jet ski, or paddleboard. After a day on the water, it’s a smooth ride back to the property, where you can tie off at the on-site boat dock. (Please note: the boat lift is not operational for guests.)

Inside, the open-concept living area invites you to stretch out on the oversized sectional sofa (seats 8+) with a smart TV and tons of natural light. The dining table seats 6, with 4 barstools at the kitchen island — perfect for family meals, game nights, or lazy breakfasts. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the essentials (plus a few extras like an Instant Pot, blender, and crockpot) for whatever you’re cooking up.

The master suite features a king-size bed, private ensuite with tub/shower combo, and a spacious walk-in closet. The second bedroom has a queen bed and walk-in closet. The third bedroom is a bunk lover’s dream — with two sets of twin bunk beds that sleep 4. These two guest rooms share a full bathroom.

All bedrooms include smart TVs, and the home has high-speed fiber internet throughout. For unplugged fun, you’ll find plenty of board games, cards, and puzzles to enjoy.

Traveling with littles? We’ve got you covered with a highchair and portable infant sleeper. The laundry room has a washer, dryer, and starter supplies to help you keep beachwear fresh all week.

Start your mornings on the upstairs porch swing or rocking chairs with a cup of coffee and sunrise views over the canal.

Downstairs, you'll love the large covered patio complete with:

Whether you’re grilling or watching the game this is the perfect spot to relax after a sun-soaked day.
