Centennial Oak

The Acorn Cottages of Centennial Oak are the perfect rental property for those who are looking to lay back and relax during their vacation.  There are two (2) cottages on the property, both which come completely furnished and are conveniently located only minutes away from shopping, the sandy white beaches of the Mississippi Gulf Coast and the action packed casinos of Biloxi.

Steve and Lana Robinson purchased their five (5) acre tract in March 1992, during Ocean Springs' Centennial year. Steve was serving as Chairman of the City's Centennial celebrations that included planting 100 Live Oaks throughout the city (and a Kiss The Pig Contest which you simply must ask him about). Upon planting their oak tree, they decided to name their property Centennial Oak!

Conveniently located only three (3) miles from downtown Ocean Springs, Centennial Oak is a wonderful property that many years ago was a pecan orchard. The Acorn and Acorn Too provide their guests with privacy and restful relaxation.  In the quiet of the evening, you will hear the song of the NightJar (Whip-poor-will) or the hoot-hoot-hoot of the Great Horned Owls. During the day, you will awaken to the beautiful songs of any number of other bird species.

Ocean Springs is a delightful little town of about 17,000 and is located just off Interstate 10 (I-10) between Mobile Alabama and Gulfport Mississippi on the beautiful white beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.  Ocean Springs has the highest per capita income in the State and is known for its quaint downtown shops and its local artists. Restaurants and eateries abound.  While visiting,  you won't want to miss Tato-Nut, Bayview Gourmet, Salvetti Brothers, Martha's Tearoom, Al Fresco's or Jocelyn's.  In addition, Wal-Mart, major grocery and drug stores, medical clinics and Ocean Springs Hospital less than a mile away from the cottages.

And for those who want a little more excitement, there are the action packed casinos of Biloxi just minutes away from the cottages.  Great food, fast moving gaming and a fantastic night life can be found among the many miles of white beach. 

The cottages are rented by the night, weekly or by the month and are both smoke and pet free.

The main residence of Steve and Lana Robinson

is located on the same property as the Acorn and Acorn Too,

where they oversee day-by-day activity..
 

Gulf Shores Surf and Racquet Club

Gulf Shores is more than just sun, sand, and surf. Discover why golfers nationwide rank Gulf Shores as one of their favorite spots in the country. Dive into deep-sea fishing. Savor succulent seafood fresh from the Gulf. Shop till you drop at our discount outlets and boutiques. An abundance of local attractions guarantees that you'll never be bored.

Coastal life may be relaxed, but it’s not sleepy. Chances are you won’t have nearly enough time to do everything that strikes your fancy. But you’re welcome to try.

Of course, you can enjoy our magnificent beaches anytime, but if you’re in the mood for a play, a parade, a plate of barbecue or just about anything else, Alabama’s Gulf Coast can satisfy your cravings.

To start your day off with a splash, a visit to Waterville USA is in order. Ride the waves in the 25,000-square-foot wave pool and experience the 55-foot drop of the Kamikaze waterslide. Other exciting activity parks and arcades such as Adventure Island and The Track offer mini-golf, go-carts, carnival rides and much more.

Perdido Key Parasail lets you soar above the water on a parasailing adventure, swim with the fish on a snorkeling trip or get in gear on a waverunner. The Orange Beach Charter Fishing Association links you to fishing adventures and area marinas. Don’t miss out on exciting dolphin tours and shrimping escapades, which also go out from area marinas.

If you’re more of a peace-seeker than a thrill-seeker, you’ll marvel at the sugar-white sands and emerald waters of the public beach. Hunt for seashells, catch some rays and let the gentle water tickle your toes.

Perhaps you prefer to experience Mother Nature. The Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge offers many amazing trails for birding and nature viewing, while the Gulf State Park boasts miles of biking trails and the glistening Lake Shelby.

History buffs enjoy Fort Morgan, where costumed guides tell the fort’s tale from the 1500s (when the Spanish fought there) through the Civil War. A ride on the Mobile Bay Ferry brings visitors to Fort Gaines where the story continues. While on Dauphin Island a visit the Estuarium/Public Aquarium for a lesson in underwater life.

With so many area golf courses you’ll be able to spend all day on the green. Check out our golf page for information on yardage and par or to book a complete golf vacation.
