SHH! The best-kept secret that is Ruth Avenue could be yours. You can reach the sand in minutes from this adorable beach cottage, just a block and a half from the sparkling waters of the Mississippi Gulf. Enjoy Gulf views from your front door and let all your cares melt away. Beach front parking at the end of Ruth is THE spot for so many activities, including kite boarding and kite board watching. Spend a day on the water and then rinse off the sun and sand at your outdoor shower. Enjoy boiled shrimp on your back deck that’s roomy enough to host the whole gang. Beautiful lot with fruit trees — satsuma, pear and olive. A lush collection of herbs awaits you in the perfect shade of an ancient oak. Minutes from downtown Gulfport, downtown Long Beach, the Southern Miss campus, Long Beach Harbor, Jones Park, the Mississippi Aquarium, Island View Casino, the Marine Research Center, and more. Just head down your own street to enjoy annual events like Cruisin’ the Coast and 4th of July fireworks. Roof replaced in 2020. Flood insurance not required.
