This former schoolhouse, built in 1913, possesses a rare "wow" factor that delights every visitor.  Restoration began in 2002 by the artist/architect owners with the goal of preserving the simple authenticity of the building.

It's been renovated as a unique duplex. The rental side is a spacious upstairs apartment, nestled next to three enormous live oak trees.   This loft-style retreat features 12 ft. ceilings, clerestory windows, heart pine floors and an art collection by regional artists.

Picture
The main living area has an elegant and expansive feel. It contains separate living and dining areas and a partitioned bedroom area. A wall of windows looks out onto oaks, while three windowed front doors open up onto a classic Southern veranda.

The bedroom area has a queen-sized bed and the living room is furnished with a day-bed. The apartment sleeps three good friends, and is perfect for a couple.

A large full kitchen (with full-sized appliances) and tiled bathroom complete the package. In the back, the kitchen door opens onto a deck beneath the oaks, a perfect place for morning coffee.

The building's grounds cover nearly 3/4 of an acre and are shaded by the live oaks, as well as magnolias, azaleas and bottle brush trees. It's just a two-block stroll to the beach, where a six-mile walking/biking path runs along the coast. "Beach Boulevard" is a two-lane road with a 25 mph speed-limit that helps recreate the illusion that time stopped somewhere in the 1950s here in Old Town.

It's fun to walk or bike through Old Town's Depot District and the Main Street art and shopping district, just blocks away.  Bay St. Louis is sometimes called "Mayberry by the Sea," and you can click here to find out why.

When you have a yearning for big city culture, you're less than an hour from the New Orlean's French Quarter and the CBD, making for an easy commute. If you're not from the area, the owners - originally from New Orleans - can offer advice on day-tripping into the city. 

Many have said that Webb School reminds them of a grand-scale tree house.  Others talk about lingering "kid energy" that makes the heart feel lighter.  Still other say their spirits are buoyed by all the light the building catches.  But pretty much everybody agrees that Webb School is a place they'll never forget.
