Located just 20 miles from the heart of the French Quarter on Historic Lake Catherine Island, this coastal retreat has it all. Enjoy the coastal breezes while on the elevated sun deck, screen porch, boat dock or private fishing pier. This Lake Home is well appointed with a completely stocked kitchen (4 different coffee makers!) and high-quality linens. We even provide the following: 6 fishing rods and tackle, crab traps, crab nets, ice chests, boiling equipment, canoe with paddles, 12 ft. johnboat, 2 inflatable/rigid stand-up paddleboards (SUP), and life jackets of all sizes. Bring your boat and dock in the private protected canal or book a charter and they can pick you up on the dock. Fish at night under the dock lights and use the wheeled wagon for hauling in your catch and freezing your filets in our dedicated fish freezer prior to your return. This place has it all! If you miss the magnificent sunrise in front, be sure to catch it set on the west side over Lake Pontchartrain. The perfect retreat for family and friends. Early check-in and/or check-out for a fee available upon request and availability.
The family loved everything about this place! We will definitely return to stay at this house again! It was very clean, organized & had everything you could possibly need available to use! We Caught many fish & crabs right from the pier & even saw 3 alligators from the pier while night fishing!
Amazing! We are Hooked for Sure! Such a peaceful and rejuvenating stay, exactly what we needed. The Location is perfect, close enough to the city but so awesome enjoying the beauty of Louisiana nature! All the Comforts of Home and Plenty of fun! Loved fishing, caught red fish, catfish, flounder, crab and saw alligators galore!
Excellent contact with owner, any issues he fixed very promptly! Beautiful place, caught many crabs and a few fish, cooked our first seafood boil!! Everything you needed for an excellent trip!!
This home was perfect for our new year vacation. It is easy to do all the New Orleans city stuff and then retreat to the peaceful water side home. Owner was very helpful when we had trouble turning on the outdoor lights. He even offered suggestions for places to get dinner. We hope to return when the weather is warmer for fishing and water fun. Thanks!
Perfect spot for a family getaway. Beautiful quiet location with fishing, crabbing, and boating. The house had everything we needed. The owner was easy to work with. Highly recommend!
This was the perfect spot for a low key weekend We had the best time, the house had everything we needed!! I 10/10 recommend staying here and we will be back!!
I canât say enough good things about this property or the host! It was our second stay here and even though our trip was cut short by the hurricane it was still an amazing couple of days! The host was absolutely wonderful and stayed in touch about the weather and helped us through the process of having to leave early. We canât thank him enough!
We loved our stay at this amazing house on Lake Catherine. The house is clean, nicely decorated, easy check in, and the kitchen is very stocked, We loved the screened in porch and the private dock (our first time using crab traps). The outside area is peaceful and the view goes on for miles. We made trips into New Orleans and the Slidell area with no issues. Would stay here again.
Good size place with beautiful views over marsh. Not quite as clean as expected with limited toiletries; however, contacted owner and quick responses and good communication. Catching blue crabs off dock was a special treat.
This property was amazing. The view was beautiful. The property was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with anything needed for cooking. My family really enjoyed fishing off of the private dock. Property is very quiet and relaxing.
We loved our stay here! The hosts provided SO much fishing gear, including the boat and crab traps! The house was super cute, well stocked, and clean. We loved getting to explore the city and then come back to the house for relaxation and fishing! It provided us just the balance in our trip that we were looking for. Thank you, hosts! đ
We absolutely LOVED this property! The house is beautiful and we spent most of the time we were there on the decks! It had everything we needed and more. The entire experience from check in to check out was a breeze. Highly recommend! Would love to come back!
Very nice house and property - better than online pictures. House has everything you need for cooking, fishing, playing by water. About 30 mins outside of New Orleans. Owners are nice and respond quickly to any concerns.
Fabulous views, wonderful fishing, easy access to the French Quarter, and a fun, comfy home! This house had it all! We took a quick trip to Rouses Market for locally sourced provisions and then settled in for our week away. Our teenagers took over the bunk room and our "tween" loved the second bedroom. Both bathrooms were fully stocked and much larger than expected. We took the kayaks and the John boat out for fishing and also dropped the crab pots each day. We were able to get bait right up the road at the marina and caught plenty enough for a crab boil. We spent one day exploring the French Quarter and also took a fun boat tour at Cajun Encounters. This house is truly in the middle of it all while still feeling like you are nestled in a quaint little village!
Amazing ⊠just the most beautiful view, place and amenities
If I could give more stars I would. We stayed here and the space was beautiful, the views were unbelievable and the extras were the icing on top. The kids loved crabbing off the dock and fishing with the owners local recommended guide. Fishing was the fan favorite of the trip. The adults loved coffee watching the sunrise and wine watching the sunset in the swinging bench on the screened in porch. It was relaxing and amazing and everything we needed. We will definitely come back, even though Louisiana was not the end point on our original trip. We just adored this place.
This was the perfect launching point for our familyâs New Orleans adventures! We were able to go in to explore the city easily, but weâre also to enjoy the peace around Lake St. Catherine. Our kids especially enjoyed fishing and heading out in the little boat. It was the best of both worlds!
The house was well-stocked (including outdoor equipment) and was exactly as described in the listing. Communication was also excellent. Thanks for being great hosts!
Excellent property to unplug and enjoy beautiful views and family!
Thank you to David for extending his home for a wonderful vacation rental. If you are looking for a place to unwind and disconnect, this is the place for you. The house is clean and wonderfully stocked with everything you will need. The beds are amazing and the outdoor amenities and views cannot be beat. We had a family of 5 adults and had plenty of room. The proximity to New Orleans or Biloxi beaches is an easy drive but being at the house fishing, watching gators and catching crabs, sharks and gar were the highlight of the trip.
