The house was immaculate! Tons of space for all of our family, friends, and kids. Great location on the bayou also. We were able to dock 2 boats at the house for the weekend, the kids loved fishing off the dock and swimming in the pool, while the adults could grill and watch football on the outdoor setup after a day of boating. 10/10 recommend! We will definitely try to book this house again in the future

We had an amazing family reunion. We brought the dog and the boat. Plenty of room for everyone. The only thing we were disappointed with was the boat lift. After arriving with the boat we were not able to use the lift per owner. That was a huge disappointment. And very unexpected.

Outstanding!

This property is my favorite of all time! We’ve been coming to the area for 30 years and this one topped them all. The view can not be beat. House was gorgeous, comfortable, had everything we needed. After a day on the boat, pulling right up to the dock and having a refreshing dip in the pool made me never want to leave. Had a few hiccups with elevator, but all request to property management were promptly answered and it did get resolved. Our elderly parents were able to enjoy the trip with us because the house was accessible. Didn’t want to leave and certainly will be booking for next year!
