Come live the Louisiana Bayou Life!

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.

Thisunique home overlooks the real natural Louisiana bayou and marshes providing the perfect setting to experience the serenity and beauty of the 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 other houses as the view. Please check out our views and then compare it to all the others.... there is no comparison.

Our unique place provides direct access to the Bayou for fishing, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, or just relaxing. From the largest, nicest decks and docks on Bayou Barataria you can truly experience the Bayou Life. 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. A true Louisiana Bayou experience! You never know what you will catch off the dock! Check out all the pictures...crabs, shrimp, redfish, black drum, large catfish, alligator garfish, SHARK, stingray, eels, alligators... OH My!

Bayou Life Charter Fishing offers a complete fishing experience package. 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 set up swamp tours, airboat tours, boating excursions, and sunset wine cruises. 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. 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 get jumbo shrimp for dinner caught by neighboring fishermen (contact me at booking to request). No better way to start off livin’ the Bayou Life than with fresh local jumbo shrimp for dinner.

We strive to provide everything you will need to make your stay wonderful. Home is completely equipped with BBQ, smoker, fire pit, and patio furniture for a relaxing and enjoyable Bayou Life experience. Kitchen is completely stocked with all the pots, pans, utensils, and gadgets you could want as well as an extensive amount of spices, condiments, salad dressings, and much more so you don't have to waste time and money at the grocery store. Even has a boiling pot setup for a traditional Louisiana seafood boil. And if that wasn't enough there are kayaks, a paddle board, crab traps, and fishing poles for your use. We also just added a commercial ice machine for FREE ICE!

If you choose to hit Bourbon Street and do a little partying don't worry about driving....No problem getting to and from the New Orleans French Quarter....I have several Uber drivers on call and ready to take you to and from the New Orleans French Quarter or anywhere in New Orleans at any time of the day or night.

Boat may be kept during your stay in the water tied to the dock. Dock is equipped with ropes, cleats, and bumpers. There is plenty of parking available with additional space if needed on an adjacent lot. You have room to keep several cars and boats on trailers in this area.

The property has one other rental unit. Each are completely independent and on separate floors. The only shared areas are the outside docks, decks, and patios....there are several docks, decks, and patios providing plenty of room. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have. For larger groups contact me about using the other units which sleep an additional 8 and 5 people people. If this property is booked or if you want a single unit home please contact me...I have another beautiful home next door that may be of interest to you.

I am usually not at the property so that you can have privacy to live your own Bayou Life as if it’s your 2nd home...but if desired I am always ready to come by to meet guests or help in any way. As little or as much interaction as each guest wants or needs. I am always available to help out in any way or answer any questions. Just contact me any time day or night.

    Highly recommend! Outstanding location and rental. Online photos are accurate, but much better in person. The deck provided a perfect setting for our family in the evenings. Sleeping arrangements were sufficient for our group and lots of extras for our stay. The large living/dining/kitchen area made for an easy way for everyone to hang out.Lots of parking, and directions were accurate. The drive takes a little longer, but the view makes it worth it. The Host is great and provided information on locate places for us. Lots of additional items listed on posting we didn't use, and they are in great shape.

    The home was exactly what we were hoping for. It had beautiful views right on the water, we were able to spend time enjoying the views and fishing, then hop in the car and drive 30-40 min to the French Quarter and enjoy fun shopping and city life. We would definitely stay here again!

    This property was just what my family needed for our family vacation. It had room for all of us to spread out. We had 6 adults, a toddler, and one dog. It was great to sit out by the water in the morning with coffee and in the evening with a cold drink. The grill and boiling pot were nice touches for cooking at home. It was clean and very inviting. Morgan was an amazing host and was very responsive when we had questions on how to get in the house. I would stay here again and recommend it.

    We traveled to Louisiana with our 3 kids who are 17, 15 and 10. The house was perfect for our family. Plenty of space to hang out inside when it rained and the outdoor spaces were perfect. We met our neighbors (staying upstairs) and our boys were out late almost every night fishing and caught some monsters! We loved being away from the city but close enough to enjoy a couple of day trips

    Awesome resources to maximize your ability to enjoy the stay. This is a fisherman’s paradise. We caught lots of fish and crabs off the dock, and had a great fishing charter that Morgan helped arrange (pickup, drop off and fish cleaning at the dock!). Jan’s local restaurant cooked up some of our fresh fish and did an amazing job. Will be back for sure!

    For our stay, we rented both floors of the property! When we got there, the door allowing access between the floors was locked. After a text to Morgan, the issue was quickly resolved!When we had some of our crew wanting to show up a night earlier than our originally booked stay, Morgan was quick to help me and get it taken care of!We love this location and will definitely be back next year!

    We had a fantastic stay! Our family truly enjoyed every part of the experience—from fishing and kayaking right off the property to catching crabs for an unforgettable crab boil dinner. The home was comfortable and perfectly located for exploring the local area. We spent our days relaxing outdoors and making great memories together. This is a great place to stay—peaceful, well-equipped, and family-friendly. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!

    This is a really good place to stay, you do have to share the dock and patio with other people but we enjoyed both families that were there at the same time and they were nice enough to give us some fishing pointers for the area. Comfy beds, clean, maybe could use some more kitchen tools, plenty of dishes. We really enjoyed being close enough and far enough from New Orleans. Easy trip to New Orleans. We caught fish and grilled them right there. Great escape from a the Midwest. It was nice and warm. The nicest people live in barataria! If you attract mosquitos like I do BRING BUG SPRAY. Even in the winter. Thanks for the great house!
