Only 25 miles to French Quarter Recently picked as the #2 "Magnificent Escapes in Louisiana"! Only 25 miles to New Orleans' French Quarter and Bourbon Street but worlds away as you sit overlooking one of Louisiana's most famous Bayous. Bayou Barataria which once was the home of Pirate Jean Lafitte. From the largest and nicest decks and docks in the Lafitte/Barataria area you can sit over the water as you take in the beautiful views of the bayou and Bayou Life. Don't be fooled by other listings in the area that aren't even near the water or is a house crammed together with many other houses on a man made canal with only the view of houses next to, across, and behind you. Please check out our views and then compare it to all the others....there is no comparison. Those rentals you will not be able to see the beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the bayou....just look at the pictures of the beautiful sunrises and sunsets from this home and decide where you would rather be. This unique home overlooks the real natural Louisiana bayou and marshes providing the perfect setting to experience the serenity and beauty of the Bayou Life! Our unique place provides direct access to the Bayou for fishing, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, or just relaxing. Fish and crab from the dock, keep your boat in the water ready to go, or our fishing guides can pick you up from your backdoor. Fish, crab, live the Bayou Life and be a New Orleans tourist all in the same trip! Bayou Life Charter Fishing offers a complete fishing experience package. Our fishing guides pick you up right from the back door on the largest dock in the area. Relax, drink your coffee on the dock as the sun rises, and step straight on to the boat. We are at the end of the Lafitte/Barataria area so the boat ride to your fishing hole is that much closer. After booking contact us and we will arrange the perfect fishing and Bayou Life experience. We can also set up swamp tours, boating excursions, sunset wine cruises, and morning breakfast excursion by boat to a local restaurant on a barge.

No other rental will provide a more complete Bayou Life experience. We provide crab traps and fishing poles complete with bait to experience catching your own dinner the Bayou Life way. With provided notice we can even bait the traps and set them out prior to your arrival so they can start catching dinner.

The customers loved the space. With a short drive to Joe’s landing, the guys were able to hop in one vehicle and get there with ease! We cooked burgers one night and being able to cook on the grill provided was such a great addition! Having a tv outside also made it easy for our wide range of football fans. We were able to have multiple games on at the same time! This is our second year booking and will definitely be back next year! ##### Caitlyn M.

We had a wonderful time. We especially enjoyed interactions with Morgan and friends, relaxing on the dock, the views, fishing expedition, crab and shrimp boil on the property, tour of the soft shell crab facility nearby, and other recommendations. We stayed in the third floor unit which was well maintained and provided everything we needed. Would definitely stay again. Loved the Bayou Life! ##### Kay D. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Danielle W. 17 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet bayou house Our stay was everything we were going for. Morgan checked in with us to make sure it was great. This is a 3rd floor home. That means yes there are stairs. Seeing other reviews and guest book messages people were amazed there were stairs and that was a compliant. Know what your booking ahead of time, yes stairs, but great quiet house on the bayou. Book the charter with big dog and you won’t be disappointed! ##### Danielle W.

Barataria and Bayou Life turned out to be a perfect spot. Charters picked us up right at our dock each morning (no early-AM car rides!) and we were able to fish from the dock upon our return. Well appointed house; no problem there. The dock is the hidden gem here; we spent hours out there. Very quiet location on a dead end road. Recommended particularly for fishing but convenient for side trips to NOLA. ##### Randall C.

Beautifully maintained surroundings and a clean and cozy place. My husband and I are originally from New Orleans and wanted a place close to the city but far enough to relax. Thank you Morgan for prompt attention to whatever question we asked. I've never stayed in a place with ALL of the seasons needed. Loved it!!! ##### Aloma F.

We were very satisfied with our unit and the cleanliness of it. The decks, seating and firepits were exactly as advertised. The surprise was it was one house divided into 3 units. We were not aware that we would be sharing the facilities with strangers. We had planned a quite getaway together. ##### KENNETH C.

The 3rd floor had no door or windows where you could look out and see the water as the 2nd floor had. The 2nd floor has a front and rear door and windows to see the street and the water. Don't get me wrong, the accommodations were great, just would have liked a water view. Fished with Big Dog Fishing Charter and it was perfect. The rental had all we needed for our 6 day visit, and location for several trips to New Orleans, and the Oak Alley Plantation was easy. ##### WILLIAM B.

We really enjoyed to experience something different than any other hotel or house. The location is a bit far so you need a car and there’s not many options when it comes to restaurants… BUT you get to fish off the dock, eat freshly caught crabs and watch the boats passing by. House was not super clean, we had to wash the dishes (pans and coutellerie specially) before using it. But it’s always like that in any other properties we rented. And it needs more hooks to hang towels and something to hang clothes. ##### Nathalie A.

If you are expecting to fish from the pier and catch good fish to keep this is not the place. I wish someone would have stated in previous reviews about the mixture of water. It is salt and fresh. We fished the pier every day we were there. Only fish caught hardheads, blue cats, and gafftops. Went out one day with a charter and limited out in reds. So if you are looking to fish and bring home fish this area is not for you. Home and owner are great. I came to fish and was disappointed. So if you bring your boat or if you go out on a guide everyday you will have a blast catching fish. Just want people to know that this is not all salt water and they do not have live bait except for one place that had live minnows. Frozen shrimp is the go to for this area. Overall if I wanted somewhere to hang out that was quiet and not fishing this would be it. Well kept homes and yards very clean in this town. ##### Heidi T.

This is our first experience in the area. The property was clean, comfortable, and quiet. If you are into fishing, crabbing, boating, this is the place to come. We are not any of those and chose the location as a halfway driving point to Fredericksburg TX to view the April 8 total eclipse. The view is what nailed the location down when I was looking for a halfway point. Some fantastic sunrises! There are a couple of points to be aware of. This is a third floor unit with 3 levels of stairs. Be prepared to get your steps in! Have a strong person with you to help get things up the stairs. We would have loved to have had outside access at the top floor instead of having to go down a level or two to get out on the decks and docks or have a full view of the water. There are only side windows in the unit. Morgan, the host, provides great communication and is always ready to help. We appreciated that! All in all, this was a great place to stay. ##### Steve L.
