Great location! Close to beaches, restaurants, fun, etc!

Tonda was a great hostess and we enjoyed every minute of our stay! She offered to check into things of interest for us ahead of time, was available whenever needed (which was not often since everything was so great), and made our stay easy and enjoyable. The house was great, exactly as described and the pool was awesome too! Tonda had everything we needed (and even above and beyond that!) and made sure we knew we had access to everything. Highly recommend this stay!

Welcoming small house

Well stocked! Dishes, Teapot, cookware, ziplocks, Aluminum foil, plastic wrap. Great for children. WiFi is slow for IT work but would be OK for checking email. I would definitely stay again. Hostess trusts guests with a China display cabinet. Hostess is lovely.

Excellent property and host!

We were in town for a family reunion. Normally, we stay with my aunt but needed other accommodations this trip. The location was perfect for us. Very convenient to shopping, restaurants, and the beach. The home was lovely! It was clean, quiet, and well-stocked. We lacked for nothing! The bedrooms are well spaced apart and I slept soundly every night. Tonda is an excellent host and was very responsive to any questions. The pool was perfect for my crew and we enjoyed our time swimming! We are highly likely to stay at McCarter Guest House on our next visit as long as it's available. I highly recommend this property in Long Beach!

Would definitely stay here again

This is a sweet, perfectly located house in a quiet environment near everything you'll need, and not far from wonderful restaurants in Long Beach as well as the Gulf Coast. The kitchen is fully equipped and well-stocked with basics. The house is very comfortable. The hostess, Tonda, could not possibly have been more accomodating and gracious. When I arrived she walked through the house with me explaining where everything was and how everything worked, then checked with me the next morning to see how things were going. I would definitely stay here again!

Charming guest house near beach!

We recently rented from Tonda as we were seeking refuge from Hurricane Ida. Her precious guest cottage could not have been more perfect! The pictures do not do it justice. It is well arranged and the perfect set up for a small family. She had everything we could possibly need and more! In addition, while there, we locked ourselves out and she happily walked over to let us back in. Great experience and we hope to come back in the future! Lovely spot to relax!

About the host

Hosted by Tonda Yandell

Host profile image
Born in Union City, Indiana to Ed and Mariellen McCarter. When I was 6 years old family moved from the north to the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast. We moved to a home on three acres of land in Long Beach where my parents remained until retirement. Upon retirement they chose to travel the county and it was at that time my late husband, Norman Yandell and I purchased the family home.
After several years of traveling Ed and Mariellen made the decision to return to a permanent location and built their perfect retirement home on the family property. Their retirement home that brought them so much joy is now McCarter Lane Guest House.
Ed and Mariellen passed away in 1992. After a lot of soul searching and because they both loved vacationing , seeing new sights and meeting interesting people, we decided to honor them by making their special home a inviting vacation destination . In 1994 McCarter Lane Guest House welcomed our first guests. It has been an absolute pleasure to welcome hundreds of guests from all over the world. And It is especially rewarding to see the same guests return year after year.
With great joy, I take pride in making our guests feel as if they are entering the perfect home away from home, making a point to keep them informed and updated about all local opportunities and always on hand for any services I can provide.
