Gorgeous Lakefront Home: Private Pier, Boathouse, Kayaks - Fish From the Dock!
Our 1-acre lakefront location is the showstopper that makes Island Girl the perfect vacay getaway. This gorgeous, pet-friendly home features fantastic outdoor living areas, a spacious interior, a private canal, pier & boathouse, and direct Lake Catherine access. Beautifully styled + equipped with kayaks, fishing & crabbing gear, the property is ideal for families or friends traveling together. Step in, drop your luggage, and be on the water in under 5 minutes–it doesn’t get any better than this!
Island Girl is a beautiful lakefront home just 30minutes from the heart of New Orleans that comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests. The residence boasts a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances and convenient bar seating that seamlessly transitions to the dining and living areas. Guests will love this social space’s hardwood floors and large windows that take full advantage of the breathtaking lake views. French doors offer quick access to the home’s wrap-around deck where there is a dining table, gas grill, and more of those amazing Lake Catherine views.
Down the hall, each of our 3 bedrooms is impeccably styled with soothing, modern finishes that immediately relax the senses, sleeping configurations as follows:
Bedroom 1 – King bed Bedroom 2 – Queen bed Bedroom 3 – Two twin beds
The home’s 2 full bathrooms are modern and bright with shower/tub combos that make bathing the kiddos after a day on the lake a breeze.
Outdoor living is unparalleled at Island Girl with Lake Catherine as your backyard and endless views for scenery! In addition to the upper wrap around deck, the lower-level houses private parking, a picnic table, and all the gear you need for enjoying the lake including 4 kayaks, life jackets, fishing poles, and crab traps. When it’s time to get out on the water, simply launch the kayaks directly from our shoreline into the private canal or walk down our dock to the boathouse for fishing and crabbing in the shade.
Bringing your own boat? Easy – launch it at Island Marina just down the road then drive along the shoreline to our boathouse where you can tie off. And they don’t call this area fisherman’s paradise for nothing! We also have great recommendations for local, professional fishing guides to maximize your sporting time on the water. Be sure to inquire if you are interested.
Staying at Island Girl provides the best of both worlds with a location just 25 minutes from New Orleans and 30 minutes to the MS Gulf Coast. Spend the days/nights enjoying the parties, parades and casinos then head to Island Girl for a relaxing and quiet stay away from the excitement.
Additional Amenity Highlights Include: - Complimentary unlimited Wi-Fi - 4 TVs throughout the home - Dedicated workspace - Boiling pot - Comprehensive housewares package + Keurig coffee machine - Fresh linens and towels for every guest - Full-size washer and dryer - RV hookup

Lovely house all around. Sunsets and sunrises are beautiful with a clear view of the entire sky. All the bedrooms are ample and the kitchen is well stocked and large enough for everyone to "help". Its very peaceful at night with a great view of the stars.
We had a great time visiting New Orleans and surrounding areas and then able to be outside the city and relax when we were done. Loved being on the lake and watching the sun rise every morning.
We had a wonderful and relaxing stay. The house was beautifully furnished and very homey. Loved the dock and boathouse and sunrise on the water was just lovely. Would love to come for a longer stay.
Really enjoyed staying at this property. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone. Beautiful views, lots of information about property and great suggestions of things to do and places to eat.
The house and property are gorgeous and looked just like the pictures. Laurie and her husband have just about anything you could need at the house. Laurie responded to my messages quickly and is great with recommending places to eat and sights to see.
Comfortable house, kitchen had everything and more. Lots of extra amenities. Laurie was very responsive. Sunrise was amazing every day. Plan on bringing drinking water.
We were just looking for a short get a way…. Not far from home!!! Didn’t disappoint!!!! Very clean… very cozy…. All the amenities!!! Thanks for everything!!!
The house is beautiful an very clean with extra blankets an pillows which was great. The kitchen is well stocked for you to cook anything an everything. We really appreciated being able to check in early an Laurie was great with any questions or problems I may have had.
From the moment we pulled up we knew we booked the best place! The house was beautiful, the property was breathtaking. Laurie was very accommodating and answered all of our questions. The house was tastefully decorated and super spotless! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals and very spacious. Our only regret was that we didn’t take advantage of the beautiful dock and the kayaks. Definitely will come back again!
Our family enjoyed our vacation at Island Girl. We arrived after dark. Laurie left the lights on for us. This property is well furnished and clean. We had everything we needed. We enjoyed using the kayaks, fishing from the dock, and relaxing in this quiet and scenic location where there is an abundance of wildlife. It is located just a short drive from the French Quarter. I do recommend bringing plenty of drinking water and bug repellent.
Thank you, Laurie! You are an amazing host and we loved our long weekend on Lake Catherine. The house was stocked with everything we could have needed and then some!!! We only wish there had been fish for catching (probably just not the right time of year). But there were plenty of alligators that entertained us! Lol!!! This was absolutely the perfect place for us to relax, unwind and reconnect. We make a trip to NOLA every year and now that we’ve found this beautiful home, we may add a fews days to our annual getaway for some much needed rest and relaxation!
Very easy communication with the host; location beautiful and convenient to getting into downtown; house was clean, comfortable & well stocked in the kitchen and with towels /bedding.
Couldn’t ask for anything better! Great view, beautiful house, and a host who thinks of everything. This house is stocked with all the essentials you could need.
Amenities galore, complementary local treats, very clean, everything for cooking, beautiful locale, many outdoor activities, hammock swings, everything you need for fishing, kayaking, We even caught and ate a crab!
We had the best vacation at this rental! Very clean and beds were very comfortable. They had everything you would need for fishing and cooking seafood. We had the most fun fishing on the dock! Gorgeous views. Lake life was so relaxing. We will be back!
