Property was great and beautiful. Could have been even better if the back porch area had been swept and need more towels! Host was great and loved it overall.

Really cool home with a beautiful spot on the bayou, and an easy drive from lots of restaurants, etc. Lots of stairs which we didn’t mind. The sunken living room was a great spot to spend time with family, and we would have loved to use the patio had the weather been better. We will likely stay again when we're in town.

We had a wonderful time. We were nervous that it might be noisy being located on such a busy street but it wasn't at all. We loved it. We would stay again.

This home was beautifully decorated and a fun time for a family get together. There were great amenities for cooking both indoor and outdoor. There were a few bugs we caught in the home, but being by a body of water, it’s common. Thanks for the ease of use and quick response times!

A cozy home with lots of creative details! Very clean, original artwork, nicely appointed furniture, great master bath, comfortable beds! Plenty of space for us and two adult children. On a fairly busy street, but surprisingly quiet inside the house. The house manager quickly responded to any questions. A very pleasant stay!

Great Stay - wonderful outdoor space - - very interesting decor. Susie was great. Didn’t understand that this place had 4 levels, so be aware. Also, for us the parking was limited. None of our vehicles (2 pickups and suburban) would not fit into the garage. Drive way is one car length long against a very busy road. Would stay again!

Absolutely LOVED our stay. We sat and visited for hours in the great room looking through the glass at the tranquility of the trees outside. Other things that were over the top included the eclectic art and design, the master shower and master bedroom. We definitely look forward to coming back again. Five-star experience.

Our family of four stayed over Christmas 2022 while visiting my in-laws. My 22 yo daughter was ready to buy it. It’s just a fabulous place - just as pictured! Too bad it was freezing; we would have loved to spend some time on the back deck! Super clean and well appointed. Would definitely stay again. Thanks!!
