8. SUMMER HOME OF MR. AND MRS. MICHAEL BOUDREAUX, 808 South Beach Blvd.. Waveland. Hours: 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. In 1997, the Boudreaux’s purchased a small beach front cottage and set about a total renovation. Within 6 months they owned a colorful, comfortable refuge far from the hustle and bustle of their home in Baton Rouge, LA. Becky had the kitchen moved from the rear to the front of the house to enjoy a beautiful view of the sound through the oak trees. Among the home's many amenities is a lovely sun room added onto the rear of the house overlooking the pool and rose garden. You are welcome to browse through the adjacent guest house where Becky's mother, Jean, now resides.
