It’s reasonable to assume that the state’s most bookmarked Airbnb is amazing. Luckily, though, you don’t have to assume. You can decide for yourself because we’ve found it – and it’s the Eco-Beach House in the Trees. (Spoiler alert: it’s pretty great.)
Located in Waveland, the Eco-Beach House in the Trees has been making waves since its construction in 2015.
In January 2021, It’s a Southern Thing declared it the most bookmarked Airbnb in Mississippi.

One look at the tiny abode and it’s easy to see why it draws so much attention – it’s utterly unique. Plus, it’s built around a live oak and sits 14 feet off the ground.
At just 576 square feet, it’s tiny, but it doesn’t seem like it. Thanks to its “airy and open” layout, it feels much bigger.
Lots of large windows and towering ceilings that range from 12 – 20 feet also contribute to the roomy feel.

And thanks to careful planning, the house has everything you could want – including a fully-equipped kitchen (minus a microwave) and on-site herb garden.
Some of the home's amenities might even surprise you. For instance, the shower is actually pretty big.
And the bed is a queen size – not too shabby for a quaint 24-foot X 24-foot abode.
Worried there won’t be enough room to stretch out? Don’t worry; there’s additional space underneath the home.
With comfy seating and shelter from the shade, it’s perfect for dining and entertaining.

When it comes to underrated travel destinations, it's tough to beat Mississippi. This state is honestly so much more than just tough to spell; it comes with its very own set of amazing things to do, see, experience, and remember. Should you live here (or especially if you're 'just' visiting), you might get wild hair for exploration - and I don't blame you. This place is significantly more amazing than it gets credit for, and to prove it, I've found a small handful of absolutely amazing Airbnbs in Mississippi - all of which are worthy of becoming a home base for some amazing exploration. Of all the incredible places to stay in Mississippi, these are by far the most wonderful for anyone looking to reconnect with nature.

3. Charming and Spacious Barn, Ellisville
Okay, seriously - I am positively obsessed with this incredible Mississippi vacation rental; quite a bit larger than the treehouses with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, this amazing spot feels so very away from it all while still being reasonably close to downtown Laurel. When I say this barn is beautiful, I mean it's GORGEOUS, and you'll see why as soon as you arrive (or even just thumb through the photos). Please note that nobody under the age of 13 years is permitted to stay here; please see the house rules for more info about that. An idyllic, kiddo-free getaway with your special someone? I think yes.
