A fishing haven! The House is on a private canal leading directly into Bayou Barataria. You can fish right off the dock in the back of the house. The dock is a great place to have your fishing charter pick you up. If you have a boat, there is a ramp located directly across the street at Joe’s Landing (for a minimum fee). Joe’s also offers bait, tackle, gas, ice & convenience store items. Then you can tie up the boat at the back of the house for the duration of your stay. The dock can accommodate 2-3 boats. The City of New Orleans is about an hour away. There you can eat at great restaurants, visit museums, and listen to some amazing local music. Don’t want to go to the city? The huge, covered space down under the house is equipped with sitting areas, gas grill and gas griddle for your use. Directly adjacent is a large greenspace for family fun. You can just sit back and enjoy the slow pace of the bayou, eat at one of the local restaurants in Lafitte, or visit hiking trails in the Jean Lafitte National Park. Nearby Park De Families has picnic area, play equipment and splash pad for the younger ones. If you need a break from cooking, some of the local restaurants will cook your catch for you, after you clean it.
