Our family stayed here for a few days after Christmas and it was wonderful! We would have coffee on the porch every morning and look out at the beautiful view, visit New Orleans during the day and relax back at the property in the evening. The host was helpful and responsive! I would recommend this property!!

This is a beautiful and newly redone house on the bayou with a stunning view of the water and lots of herons and pelicans from the elevated porch. The owner , who lives in New Orleans, could not have been more welcoming and helpful to our family and our dog.

Peaceful, incredible location!!! Sunrise was our favorite and the whole family loved the hammock and amenities! We used the kitchen for breakfast and having a full size fridge was the best! Henry was so accommodating and recommended a GREAT bayou tour! The people in nearby Slidell were so friendly and we enjoyed having everything we needed just a short drive away. But really… the location!!!! Being right near the water was so peaceful and the weather in early November was terrific!!! Thank you for sharing your property with us!

Staying on Lake Catherine was just what we needed. We were in to see the Saints v Titans and enjoyed staying away from the city. It was a short drive to Bourbon street but being able to come back here and unwind was ideal. Great communication with the property owners, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We will definitely be back!! Thank you for opening up your home to this crazy bunch from TN.

We loved staying here. It was a very good location with lots of things to do with in an hour and a half drive in any direction. The house was very clean and spacious and of course a beautiful view

My family of five stayed at the property for a week and we really could not have asked for a better place to stay. We were 30 minutes from downtown New Orleans for 10 to 15 from Slidell. The property was just far away to not have any of the drama and hustle that comes with the city, but also close enough that it made trips Easy. Absolutely will be, and would stay there again.

This house is amazingly perfect for a family. One of the most beautiful views I've ever seen. The home had everything you would need, minus some cleaning supplies. They even had equipment for a seafood boil! Our family loved it and we will for sure stay again!

The home was very nice ! It was perfect for our family ! We enjoyed fishing during the day and cooking together in the evenings. Kitchen is well stocked . Marina is right there to buy shrimp to fish with and ice. We used Walmart delivery for our groceries. Very pleased and we would love to come back again.

This property was beautiful and very peaceful. It was exactly as described. The only reason for the 4 star cleanliness was because the crab traps that were left for our use had old bait left in it. That was our only issue, the rest was amazing. I spent a lot of time in the hammock reading. Thank you so much for sharing your little piece of heaven with us. I would maybe suggest a small table of some kind in the master bathroom, to put your clothes or towels on. Overall we loved it and had a great vacation we would definitely come back.

We come to NOLA yearly for a week long conference. We decided to get away from the city the weekend before and it was amazing. House was located right on the water with beautiful views. Very clean, easy check in process and the restaurant recommendations from the property owner were amazing! Can't wait to come back next year!

Positives:
The private property is located on an island and the host was very proactive in communicating the location and other instructions. It is also close to food places (about 20mins). Good place to come and enjoy with friends and family.
Negatives:
Bedrooms are fine but the living room is not clean and I don't even want to mention about utensils. We had to clean them before using them. There is no dishwasher and so we had to leave the dishes in the sink.
You would expect the toiletries to be provided but none of the bathrooms had any of the toiletries except for hand wash.
Overall, the house offers bare minimum to stay but doesn't make you feel comfortable.
5.0
We absolutely loved this house! Hated leaving and can't wait to come back! It was beautiful, spacious and the ambience and vibe was incredible. 360 water views with excellent variety of birds and wildlife! Aldi is less than 20 minutes away in Slidell! Grab groceries then relax! Excellent and helpful hosts! Thanks for sharing your awesome home with us!

We loved everything about this VRBO, by far the most fun and unique place we have ever stayed. We went to downtown New Orleans 3 times while we were there, close to everything we wanted to see and do. Henry the owner went above and beyond what he needed to, even offered us a extra day because we were supposed to fly, with southwest and that didn’t happen, we drove 14 hours from Iowa. We loved staying there. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

We were on our way from SC to Houston for medical treatment and wanted a relaxing respite for a long weekend. We could not have wished for a more perfect place. The house was very welcoming and dog friendly! The views are amazing and the house is an easy drive to New Orleans for a fun day trip. If you want peace and quiet plus a beautiful setting, you will love this house!

LOVE this place! Felt like home to us! We wanted to rent a home for Thanksgiving week while our kids were on break but we were looking 2-3 hours away. Why we have never thought of a home like this only 40 minutes away, not sure? For our family this was EVERYTHING and our kids LOVED it. We fished (we brought poles because our kids would have probably broken any poles provided, but they have poles for you to use!), we caught PLENTY of fish from the backyard using live shrimp, brought a fire pit and made smores every night, kayaked (they are provided!), met super friendly guys from the shrimp boats who gave us AMAZING deals on crabs and shrimp, we boiled crabs and shrimp downstairs (downstairs is AMAZING)(bring your pot and set up if you want a big boil or they have plenty of regular pots upstairs), and you can walk to get bait right next store! Our kids said HANDS DOWN they would come back here over going to the beach. Thank you for opening up your home to us!!!

This was a last minute get away that turned out wonderful. The home was beautiful, very comfortable and had everything we needed. The fishing was good and the water right next to the home one two sides allowed our six year old to run and plat in safety while we fished. The owner was very friendly and helpful and made sure that we were having a good time and didn't need anything. We will definately be coming back.

Great spot for a last minute family trip. Close enough to the City and beautiful private location for our group.
We watched the sunset as we caught a full moon on the polar opposite of the horizon. It was the most impressive contrast I’ve seen in a while . . . all while watching birds and boaters and shrimpers pass by.
We caught a couple fish from the backyard with one of the loaner poles and some dead shrimp.
The address is a little tricky due to it coming up in GPS in two locations depending on app, only about 5 miles apart. Even though the host informed us we still made the mistake. Fortunately, he was available to walk us through it.
We will definitely be booking again.
