Charming Bungalow in Historic Laurel, Pet Friendly

The Blue Bungalow (Pet Friendly) is located in Laurel, MS / HGTV's Hometown and it is close to everything happening.

Welcome to The Blue Bungalow, a beautiful Laurel property nestled in the neighborhood of HGTV's Hometown. When you're not relaxing in the luxurious comfort of this stylish home, you can enjoy strolling through the area to see the well-known homes renovated on the show. The Historic District is just a mile away, as are several other attractions.

The Blue Bungalow was built in the 1940s and this house is a part of the revitalization of Laurel. It still has the original bones of the house including original hardwood floors, exterior siding, and many of the original interior wall panels. When doing the renovation we kept it as true to the original house as possible. Although this particular house was not renovated on the show it is surrounded by many of the houses that Ben and Erin have flipped.

The entire house is yours while you relax and enjoy our beautiful city.

Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

"Home was nice, and the host was responsive to our needs. Close to downtown. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Laurel." - Brenda

"We had a very pleasant stay at the lovely Blue Bungalow, and Stephen was an excellent host. I readily recommend the house, and I would gladly stay again. Thank you so much for making the return to our hometown a memorable experience." - Norweida

"We really enjoyed our stay here! The house was very clean and comfortable. The location was also great, as we were just minutes from Downtown Laurel. Stephen reached out several times to make sure we were enjoying our stay. We also had fun hanging out in the outdoor spaces at the home." - Caitlin

Although this house was not renovated on the hit TV show HGTV Hometown Long Beach, MS, it is surrounded by many beautiful homes that Ben and Erin have flipped.

☆☆ BEDROOMS ☆☆
The two redesigned bedrooms offer a calming way to unwind after a busy day exploring Laurel's historic downtown. The first bedroom has a luxurious King bed, original hardwood floors, handcrafted furniture, and large windows.

The second bedroom has a comfortable Queen bed, two bedside tables, and a plush area rug. Small details in both bedrooms like the ship-lapped walls, cozy accents, and natural sunlight make both bedrooms a warm and welcome retreat from the rest of the home.

☆☆ BATHROOMS ☆☆
Like many homes built during this time, it features one full bathroom. This space has been revamped with elegant details and has a tub/shower combo, a mirrored vanity, and plenty of high-end towels.

☆☆ KITCHEN & GREAT ROOM ☆☆
The sunny kitchen is the heart of the home and combines original elements with sleek modern finishes. The warm colors, the natural sunlight, and the modern appliances make this a stylish and convenient place to make meals and enjoy them as a family.

Start your morning on the right note with freshly brewed coffee from the coffee maker and enjoy it out on the porch. At meal times, have a field day with the microwave and stove to put together quick snacks to full meals.

The expansive counters provide plenty of room for meal prep. You'll find the drawers are full of utensils and kitchen gadgets, and the open shelves are stocked with cups, plates, wine glasses, and tableware.

You can serve a family-style meal on the dining table with seating for four. When you're not eating here, this table is the perfect place to open up your laptop, connect to the WiFi and get some work done.

The great room is bright and airy with high-end furniture, leafy houseplants, cozy decor, and an impressive flat-screen TV. Settle into the deep blue sofa or kick back in the oversized armchair, and pull a footrest from under the coffee table to elevate your feet. A large window overlooks the front yard, filling the living room with sunlight.

☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆
This cozy bungalow gives you two great options when you want to spend some time outside. The first is a shady front porch that looks out over the neighborhood and front yard. Complete with comfortable lounge furniture, this is a great place to enjoy coffee in the morning or read a book in the shade.

The back patio also has comfortable outdoor lounge furniture and a view of the big private backyard. The fire pit is just waiting to be a part of your evening routine with smores and hearty conversation. The yard is dotted with mature shade trees and expertly landscaped to give it a homey feel.

Blue House
The house was okay. It lacked some finishing in areas. Kitchen windows need blinds, ceiling fans needed up dating. Master bedroom fan had no globes on bulbs. Living room pole lamp did not work properly, toilet seat was loose. Some of these things were addressed immediately. Property manager was prompt and informative. Kitchen chairs were broken, possible because they were inexpensive. The yard was poorly maintained, could barely walk path to front door because of overgrown bushes. bedside lamp in MBR was loose. A guest book would be nice.Would we stay again? Yes. but these things need to be addressed before I could give you a five star rating

2024 trip
The property was very clean, but not as well stocked as other condos/homes that we have stayed in. It was tastefully decorated and the bed was very comfortable. We did not feel unsafe, however I felt the neighborhood was on the edge of nice homes and the “hood”. I would not have felt safe for children to be with us. We knew that it only had one bathroom but for us that would be a deterrent in the future. The owners were friendly and easy to work with.

Cute cottage
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage in Laurel. We were able to walk into town which is almost a 2 mile walk but it was nice weather and great to get out and explore the community. Downtown Laurel is a really cute town and we really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was spacious, clean and in a great area.

The Blue Cottage of Laurel, MS
My Wife along with our three well behaved house trained Dog's, arrived Thursday 28 Sep 2023 for a well deserved 4 day mini vacation and we were NOT disappointed whatsoever! The Blue Cottage is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath with a well appointed eat in large well lit kitchen inclusive of ALL cooking utensils to include a Keurig Coffee maker and gas range and dishwasher! Back porch with covered seating area and front porch complete with a suspended Porch Swing. The entire house was very clean with fresh linens and towels also a washer and dryer in the attached laundry room. Both the front and back yard are well maintained and at nithtime we saw lightening bugs which I haven't seen in years! Great place to temporarily reside five miles from a very busy Historic Area of Laurel, MS made famous by HGTV's Home Town Show! We will happily return in future as the Owners are very thoughtful and responsive, a 5 Star stay was enjoyed!👍👏🐾

Thank you for being pet friendly.
The Blue Bungalow was very clean. The AC was strong and the beds were quite comfortable. We were appreciative to find such a clean place to stay that was pet friendly. However, there are no sidewalks to get your dogs to the Dog Park and the fenced back yard does not have a gate. Having the Dog Park nearby is definitely a plus.
