The neighborhood
Located on Bayou Bonfouca in the center of town. Scenic waterways abound and there is quite a bit of wildlife even in this location. Laze the days away fishing from the dock, plenty of peace and relaxation if you want it. If not there's plenty to do--there is always something going on in Olde Towne from Mardi Grad parades passing right on Front St to food and arts festivals all year long. Conveniently centered in the Historic Olde Towne District of Slidell, only steps from a thriving community. Walking distance to Heritage Park, famous Palmettos Restaurant, Amtrak Station, Times Bar & Grill, Slidell Museum, antiques stores and restaurants. Visit the Arts District and upscale blues club, nearby Dew Drop Inn. Easy 30 minute drive to New Orleans without the hustle and bustle. Take the train over beautiful Lake Ponchartrain and scenic marshes to the Big Easy for an overnight visit. Plenty to do and see unless of course you just want to relax and you can do plenty of relaxing in the bungalow on a lazy morning, afternoon or evening.
Getting around
The Amtrak station is only a couple of blocks away. Other than that there is no public transportation, however, there are canoes and kayaks available for sightseeing on the historic, scenic bayou. There is also a major biking/walking/jogging trail called the St. Tammany Trace which extends along the entire Northshore of Lake Ponchartrain and Camp Salmen Nature Park, with nature walk, park, and playground.
Nice, clean place. The train would go by a couple of times a night, but other than that, it was great.
Nice spot. Pretty view of the bayou. Not far from New Orleans. Perfect location to travel from Slidell to New Orleans if you don’t wanna stay in the city. Only bad thing about it was it being right next to the train track. Will return
Clean. Close to many attractions.
Very quiet property except for the occasional train. Pool is right out the back door, very convenient.
Great location convenient to Heritage Park and Old Slidell town center.
This condo is nice and cozy in a convenient location for dinning and shopping. The one thing that I found to be not so welcoming was the odor of the water. We used bottled water for drinking and preparing our meals.
This is an apt in an apt complex. Very quiet, enjoyed the patio overlooking the Bayou! TV too difficult to watch. The park next door is awesome for families or runners!! All in all, we enjoyed it and would rent again!!
Quiet place..good communication with owner...would recomend this place
The pictures do not do this little place justice ,so cute and it was perfect for quite no stress vacation .Neighborhood was quiet and friendly and good location. I also want to comment on how clean and nice the place smelled when we arrived and how easy it was to work with Cynthia and how quick her responses were to questions ,I would definitely stay here again if ever in that area..
Stopped in Slidell as a half-way point to San Antonio. The Bungalow was very nice and we enjoyed our short stay. The only thing we would have liked would have been some information left in the bungalow of any points of interest near by, and some of the places to eat. We did have to purchase another wash cloth because there were only three in the bathroom. Two people staying two nights needed at least four. Other than that we would recommend this as a good place to stay for a couple. We also appreciate the owners quick response to texts, and the bungalow is really cute.
