About Us, Our Home and Neighborhood
YOUR HOSTS
Bruno and Linda Schroeder have lived in Ocean Springs for over 20 years. Linda is a native of Ohio and Bruno hails from Texas. They delight in the charm of Ocean Springs and are always ready to extol its unique character to others.
THEIR HOME
The remodeled 1930's bungalow reflects the elegant simplicity of their tastes and life style. A spacious yard, flower beds and an ample deck at the rear of the house affirm their appreciation of outdoor life. A porch complete with swing graces the front of their home and affords a view of their tree-lined street. The location near downtown offers visitors easy access to the quaint charms of Ocean Springs.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
A five minute walk south will take you to the picturesque Ocean Springs Harbor, where shrimp boats are berthed side by side with sailboats and yachts. Walk two more minutes across the harbor bridge and you are at the entrance to Shearwater Pottery, where several generations of the Anderson family have produced masterful works for many years.
A ten minute walk in the other direction puts you in historic downtown Ocean Springs. Restaurants, shops, boutiques and the renowned Walter Anderson Museum of Art are all a short stroll away down oak-shaded Washington Avenue. The works of local artists are on display and for sale in many of the local shops.
Nearby is the Gulf Islands National Seashore, with a visitor's center, nature trails and picnic areas.
