Mississippi Rentals By Owner

Named after Old Man River himself, the coastal state of Mississippi is a state perfect for a down home vacation rental experience. With a moderate climate and a richly diverse Southern culture, The Magnolia State can be enjoyed year-round. Bordered on the South by the Gulf of Mexico and the West by the Mississippi river, Mississippians have easy access to plenty of water based activities. On any given day of a Gulf Coast Mississippi vacation rental you can be sure to see sailboats, fishermen, or children splashing around enjoying the southern sunshine.
 
Mississippi is perhaps best known for its historical place in music and literature. The Southern state is a prominent feature in many novels by William Faulkner and John Grisham, and has long-fostered a thriving music scene. The King himself, Elvis Presley, was born in Tupelo and Mississippians are very, very proud of this fact. The Mississippi Blues Trail is currently under development – when completed it will consist of markers detailing various sites in Mississippi’s musical delta and blues history. One such site is the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Mississippi.
 
Along with musical history, museums, and concerts, Mississippi offers many opportunities for gaming. Driving along Highway 90 in Biloxi or Gulfport and you can view dozens of casinos – all rebuilt since Hurricane Katrina struck this coastal state in 2005. Tunica, in Northern Mississippi is also a growing gaming haven with several casinos in the area. With the delay of Biloxi casinos being rebuilt, Tunica has enjoyed a sudden surge in casino tourism.
 
Mississippi also is home to several thriving college towns, among them Oxford and Hattiesburg. As with any town housing a major university, Oxford and Hattiesburg offer many cultural and recreational opportunities. In Oxford, head down to “The Square” to experience the downtown scene or tailgate at “The Grove” with dozens of other Rebels fans. USA Today has ranked Oxford as a top college town and one of the "Best 100 Small Towns" in recent years. And Hattiesburg has been named Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation for over 10 years running. These Southern college towns can boast culture and a pleasant environment alike!
 
So whether you’re going to the coastal state of Mississippi to stop by Beauvoir, the home of Jefferson Davis, or the Tupelo Automobile Museum, your Mississippi vacation rental will be informative, eventful, and fun!
