Beatnik - Hotel in Ocean Springs - 402 Porter Ave, USA

We loved our stay at the Beatnik! We enjoyed a last-weekend-before-school-starts hoorah with three other families, each family in a cabin. The kids had a wonderful time, the cabins were excellent, and the parents enjoyed the time too. Highly recommend, especially with a group.

Not safe. I was robbed on Beatnik Hotel property the 1st night. Predators are lurking and walking the streets here to rob unsuspecting tourists. I strongly encourge would be guests to search crime statistics for Beatnik Hotel area. The owners are in denial about the lurking threats in their community. We rented all four units and had the entire property to ourselves. Owner wife lives nearby and came to look our family over having a good stare with little to say, the 1st morning as we sat at her outdoor garden. Odd. This strikes me as the perfect opportunity for her to give us/ her guests a cautionary alert, warning, heads up, to caution us to be mindful and vigilant of securing our property. Nothing. Their property manager said this has never happened before, (hard to believe given the lurking dangers) and she would look over the camera footage and asked me specifically when I thought it happened so she didnt have to watch the footage from the entire day to locate thief. Now she is avoiding my phone calls. Unclear, the cameras are likely props and useless. She asked if I would report to police. Im a tourist and dont care to spend my vacation engaging the local police dept. No southern hospitality here. No concern for Beatnik Hotel guests safety. ||||Owners care more about aesthetic of their garden than the comfort of their guests. There is an outdoor table but no sun umbrella for shade. The sun umbrellas are used to anchor another section of the garden. I moved these umbrellas to cover the dining table during our stay. THE OWNERS CLEARLY DID NOT APPRECIATE MY MOVING THEIR SUN UMBRELLAS. On our last morning we wanted to sit in the garden at the dinning table for a time before our departure. This was not possible unless we cared to sit in the blistering sun. In the wee hours the owners had moved the umbrellas back to the other side of the garden. We did not have the use of garden our last morning due to the umbrella issue.||||The coffee systems in all 4 unites are useless unless you like drinking coffee with coffee grounds.||||The 4th unit television broke and just displayed colored horizontal lines on the last night, so no television. ||||As we were packing our car to depart the Beatnik Hotel property the husband owner rode up on his bike and asked how we enjoyed our stay. I shared I had been robbed. He didn't seem to have a clue. I told him post robbery I learned statistically the Beatnik Hotel area had the highest crime rate for the entire state. He disputed this fact. He said the statistics are wrong. My take away this husband/wife owner team care only to have renters pay their mortgage, and nothing for the safety of their guests. As an unaware tourist I was never afforded the opportunity to be hightently mindful and vigilant about my property at the Beatnik Hotel property, because the owners are in denial about the high property crime rate in their area and lack any concern for their guests safety suppressing the dangers lurking about their property. Guests should be alerted to this fact.||||Alert!!! Predators are lurking to rob you in the Beatnik Hotel area! You won't learn this from the Beatnik Hotel owners.

Modern, floating cabins with spacious kitchenettes featuring indoor & outdoor showers, porches with screens, and artsy decor. There is plenty of plush towels, hot water, and amenities that offer comfort. There was an Amazon Alexa Echo Dot and Hulu on the television. The bed was comfortable, communication with staff was efficient, and I loved the keyless entry door.

We loved our 3 day getaway! The location was between downtown and the beach. We had no issues the entire time and even got to meet some of the kind staff! We will be back!

Enjoyed the stay. Would welcome a handrail for the pool to assist getting in and out. The water feature makes the grounds lovely. Enjoyed screened in porch. Bed was very comfy but low. Nice get away. Adding a small microwave would be nice. Mini fridge was great . My husband enjoyed being able to make his coffee. It s close but off the beaten path. We didn't t take our pup but it is nice for pets.

The experience was so nice. The trip was supposed to be kid-free, but at the last minute we brought our kids. They easily switched our room to one with bunk beds. The rooms were excellent and the setting was very relaxing. It was quiet and peaceful and super close to downtown Ocean Springs. We look forward to going back just the two of us.

So peaceful and close to everything I wanted to see in this area. Comfortable bed and beautiful layout. I loved the Indoor and outdoor shower. I wish I had more time to lay in the lap of luxury

Just finished up with my 6th night at the Beatnik. I can’t recommend this place enough. If you like being in the mix of downtown Ocean Springs and enjoy the peacefulness of the oak covered streets then this is your spot! It was a little too cool to enjoy the pool this time around, but I did take advantage of the outdoor shower that’s part of each cabin. I work from my laptop and the built in work area in each unit is perfect for that daily deep work section we all need! And the reading nooks have me wanting to remodel my house just to make something as equally cozy. This is a 6 start stay out of 5. Do yourself a favor and book the stay!
