We’ve attended a few events at The Bay Bed & Breakfast, and every experience has been wonderful! The venue is absolutely beautiful, charming, well-kept, and full of character. It creates such a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes any event feel extra special. Everything has always been well organized, clean, and thoughtfully set up. The space photographs beautifully and feels both elegant and comfortable at the same time. If you’re looking for a unique and lovely place to host or attend an event in Hattiesburg, this is definitely a gem!

My husband and I love old house B&Bs- for the beauty of historical homes, for the yummy breakfasts and for the friendly and interesting hosts.

The home was beautiful and our room was comfortable but I have to say something was missing with no one there to welcome us, point us to things (coffee maker for morning coffee?) and no one to tell us about the beautiful home. There was an “on-site” manager but we never saw him or her- we just saw evidence of someone else being in the house (doors left open/ light was left on) which was a bit unsettling. I would

Such a charming venue! The rooms are well appointed and can be used in so many ways - from tea parties to weddings to games nights. Whatever your imagination can conjure up. Oh, and the garden is a wonderful place for a wedding!
