Short-term rental living room interior, Pass Christian lodging stay

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What did a typical Pass Christian listing earn last year?

AirROI's trailing twelve months through July 2026 puts the typical Pass Christian listing at about $27,560 across 199 active rentals, with an average night near $308 and occupancy around 33.0 percent. Revenue per available night came in near $104, with year-over-year revenue down 2.9 percent and active supply up 39.2 percent. That is a small sample size, so treat it as directional rather than a per-address guarantee.

Can Ocean Springs numbers stand in for Pass Christian's?

No. Ocean Springs posted about $28,820 across 320 listings on the same extract, a different town on a different desk. Cite Pass Christian's own $27,560 figure from its 199 listings rather than blending the two into one Gulf Coast average, and confirm the parcel's actual town before advertising.

Which months are strongest in Pass Christian?

June, March, and October are the three strongest months, with June the single busiest and January the slowest month of the year. Occupancy for the full year sits at 33.0 percent on the $27,560 typical-listing figure, so price the named peak months and the January lull as two different products rather than one flat rate.

Where do Pass Christian's guests come from?

Most guests arrive from New Orleans, followed by Baton Rouge, with a typical stay of 4.0 nights booked about 58 days in advance. Superhost share on this extract is 63.8 percent. Listing copy that speaks to a regional Gulf Coast trip from those origin cities tends to match the guest who is actually searching for Pass Christian.

Does a "low-regulation" label mean there is no local permit to worry about?

No, that label comes from an aggregator scrape, not the city. Pass Christian requires a city short-term rental license, published at $400 plus a $20 privilege license; call the city planner at 228-452-3316 to confirm the current fee before you advertise, since sales tax can still apply to stays under 30 days.

Is a 30-night minimum the same as occupancy?

No. About 30.2 percent of listings, 60 of them, set a 30-night minimum on the platform, but that is a booking-window setting rather than a measure of nights actually filled. The market's typical stay is still 4.0 nights, so a long minimum is not proof of a filled month.

Is Port Isabel the same market as Pass Christian?

No. Port Isabel published about $24,192 across 259 listings, a separate market on its own desk. Pass Christian's figure is $27,560 across 199 listings with January as its slowest month; confirm the city planner's line at 228-452-3316 before treating another town's numbers as this one's.

What should a buyer or lender packet cite for Pass Christian?

Cite $27,560 across 199 listings, the June-March-October strong months, January as the slow month, New Orleans as the top guest origin, a 4.0-night typical stay with 58 days of lead time, and the city planner's line at 228-452-3316 for licensing. Keep Ocean Springs' $28,820 and Port Isabel's $24,192 on their own separate lines rather than averaging them in.

How large is this Pass Christian sample, and why does that matter?

The extract covers 199 active Pass Christian rentals, a small enough pool that a handful of listings can shift the average meaningfully. Treat the $27,560 typical-year figure as directional rather than precise for any single address, and pull a fresh extract before finalizing pricing or a purchase packet.

Does Pass Christian charge sales tax on stays under 30 days?

Yes, sales tax can still apply to short-term stays under 30 days in Pass Christian, separate from the $400 city STR license and $20 privilege license. Confirm the current tax and fee stack directly with the city planner at 228-452-3316 rather than relying on an aggregator's regulation label.

Work with Crest & Cove Creative

A market report that files Port Isabel's numbers as a Pass Christian leftover hides more than it reveals. The two towns sit on different desks and different sample sizes and should never share one line.

Crest & Cove writes market reporting that keeps each town's numbers on its own line instead of one blended coastal average.
