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. We even have unique access to a neighbors softshell crab experience not offered anywhere else. Come for a visit and we can make sure you have a unique, complete Bayou Life experience. 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. Each rental will have 5 lbs of jumbo shrimp caught by neighboring fishermen (contact me at booking to reserve). No better way to start off livin’ the Bayou Life than with fresh local jumbo shrimp for dinner....Bayou Life lagniappe. We provide so much more than any other rental....even a commercial ice machine for FREE ICE!

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.

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. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nathalie A. Oct 6, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect with kids ! Very relaxing and quiet. 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. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jody M.

First off, our host Morgan was very responsive and friendly, and he made the check in process very easy. The place was sparkling clean and well appointed. The beds were comfortable. All other amenities were perfect for an epic fishing vacation. I was able to safely dock my boat right in front of the property. There was a fish cleaning table right off the dock. The location is perfect for fishing on the Barataria waterway. You are a short boat ride away from many of the Lafitte great fishing spots. There are several full service marina's near by to fuel up and get bait. The property is also not far ( 30 minutes) from downtown New Orleans. We were able to get in some fantastic dinners while in town. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to get the Bayou Life experience. ##### Jody M.

Mar 14, 2019 #### Great property, very clean, amazing outdoor area The third floor of the property is exactly how it is described in its listing. The unit was very clean with brand new applicances and recently remodeled interior. My kids loved fishing from the dock with the supplied poles and crab pots. The kitchen had everything I needed in order to fix meals. Dollar general and Piggly Wiggly grocery store are fairly close to purchase food. The WiFi on the third floor didn’t work very well. The 2 units below might have other guests that you have to share the outdoor space with. We enjoyed talking to the other guests while sitting on the deck. New Orleans is only a 30 minute drive from the house. We enjoyed getting out of the city each night. The owner was good about communicating and checked on us while we were there through email and text. There are brochures in the house about activities in the area. Great place to stay! ##### Mindy W.

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. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### JOE H. May 10, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### great vacation/adventure. Property was very nice. Right on the water and accommodating for our boat. The listing is a bit deceiving. Until the day of check-in we had no Idea we were on the 3rd floor. We also had no idea that there were 3 units that were filled at this property. The other two groups, who were REALLY AWSOME people, also did not know that they would be sharing the property. Luckily, we shared the property with strangers but left family!. Another "buyer beware" is there is no shrimp. In the add it says there will be 5lbs of shrimp but there wasn't. (Not a deal breaker but...) Boutes, a restaurant across the bayou, has excellent gumbo and crawfish. Morgan, the host, although not there, was very responsive by phone and offered anything that he could do to make our trip successful. Overall, we had a great time, met some great people and enjoyed the water. I would recommend but with a clearer description in the ad. ##### JOE H.
