Cottage lodging exterior, Pass Christian vacation rental

Most Pass Christian listings get marketed as a generic Gulf of Mexico stay. That pitch could describe a dozen other towns, and it wastes what actually sets City of Pass Christian, Harrison County, Mississippi apart. Guests who typed Pass Christian are looking for Pass Christian Beach, Old Town, War Memorial Park, the harbor — not Ocean Springs, and not Port Isabel. 199 active listings sit on this extract. Write the town you can actually walk. Keep the listing specific. A vague water caption loses the booking.

Typical listings here earned about $27,560 last year from 199 active rentals, AirROI trailing twelve months through July 2026. The average night was $308. Occupancy was 33.0 percent. Revenue per available night was $104. Year over year is minus 2.9 percent. Active supply moved 39.2 percent. Do not average in Ocean Springs at $28,820 on 320 listings. That is a different town. Leave Port Isabel as a different market. Do not mix those towns. Treat this as a small sample, not a blended coast.

The three strongest months are June, March, and October. June is the busiest. January is the slowest. Most guests arrive from New Orleans, then Baton Rouge. Typical stay is 4.0 nights, booked about 58 days ahead. Call the city planner at 228-452-3316. City STR license. Published as $400 plus a $20 privilege license. Confirm the live fee at hall.
