We very much enjoyed our stay at the Grand Smile on the Grand Isle. The views from the large porch were fantastic and the beach was just a quick walk away.
The property was beautiful. We loved everything about the place the pier was nice. The house was beautiful had everything we needed for the week. It was a piece of heaven. Thanks
We had a great trip and enjoyed our stay at the camp, fishing wasn't great due to weather conditions but we made the best of it. Caught about six dozen crabs off the 400' fishing pier with out crab traps, caught a few fish at night with the lights. Overall it was a great trip and look forward to doing it again...
Wonderful experience for kids and adults. Dolphins swam by every day and had close encounters woth them in the ocean. Jelly fish, hermit crab hunting, fresh sea food near by. Only down side was the mosquitoes were pretty bad
The cabin had a long pier with lights, great location, and all the needs to cater for some fishing. Crabbing was also great on the pier. We knew some spots in Grand Isle for big fish, but this location could have sufficed on its own for younger kids looking to crab and fish.
Les points faibles : Communication et emplacement
Pier is an added bonus
Overall, the camp is nice with a beautiful view of the bay. Having the pier for the kids to fish and crab was an added bonus. Weather didn't cooperate but we had enough room to spread out. My only
this was our 8th year of fishing in the gulf and the 2nd time we stayed at Don's. we will stay here from now on as long as it's available for our dates.
House was very clean and inviting. Perfect location Fishing pier is outstanding. We played morning, noon and night. Fishing and crabbing wasn't bad either.
Camp was located as advertised and was really nice. Only complaint was that the lights on pier did not work so the night fishing, main reason for going, was not good. Other than that really loved the camp and view.
Home and view were great. Pier awesome and the lights were wonderful at night. Crabs were caught and fish too. Home fully stocked with everything and clean. Only downside was the yard and driveway had pot holes and mud. It needs rocks and attention. The island had water the week before from the storm so it may have not been bad if it was not due to standing water. Overall our family would definitely stay again.
We had a fabulous time. The house was clean and more than ample for 10 people. Rooms had comfortable beds. Kitchen had everything we needed. The dock was great only thing to make it better would be to have water down by the boat dock. Definitely will be coming back. Even some friends stopped in who were renting somewhere else and got the info to rent itâs that nice.
Inside was fresh & new. The large area facing the water could use some blinds to control evening sun. Clean & roomy. Like a lot of the Island, the yard still needs some clean up. The week before the owner let us know that the pier was not repaired yet. When that is completed this is a 5 star bay side property
Stayed over Memorial Day Weekend. The closest crossover to the beach was closed so we had to go further down the street a few blocks. The owner communicated this, just be aware the levee is being repaired so not ALL crossovers or usable. Thereâs plenty of parking but the driveway could use some fresh gravel. Big potholes and mud. We gave the bottom of the camp a good clean off with the available hose and thereâs still trash scattered in the Marsh near the camp from the Hurricane. Not sure whose responsibility that falls on, just a bit of an eyesore. The view from the front deck is perfect! The fishing pier was awesome! There was an issue with the lights but that was fixed during our stay while we were there. The kitchen is stocked well with everything you may need. Overall a great place! Weâd go back for sure!! Especially when all the crossovers are usable.
Pros
1. Dock with lights
2. Interior was clean
3.Fully equipped kitchen
4. Plenty of room
Cons
1. Drive way has huge holes and was wet so you couldnât pull into one side of cement parking area
2. Key was not in lock box when we got there but cleaning lady was very friendly and nice and brought key with in an hour. Manager did not answer phone or return voice mail.
3. Had a power outage from 8:10-12:30. It got pretty hot. This is no fault of anyone but no screens on windows so we couldnât open due to mosquitoes. The very nice cleaning lady let us know about reporting it and About what time it would be back on.
Again manager didnât answer call or return voicemail.
I left snarky text to manager/owner and he replied next morning with deflections and lies.
4. The manager/owner of course never got any messages at first
Then he did get messages but knew his cleaning lady took care of it. He is an asstronomocal deflector
Our camp/home has all new amenities and is newly built. The 400' fishing pier is an awesome addition, as one can visit without having to have a boat. Fishing and crabbing off the pier is a bonus.
