Whether you want to visit the famous French Quarter, walk the beach on the gulf coast or fish, hunt and crab to your hearts delight; this is what you've been searching for! Located in Pirates Harbor in the Rigolets off Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne, we are only a 30 minute drive to visit Bourbon St or the beaches and casinos of Mississippi. From the large front deck you will enjoy the scenic views of Big Branch National Wildlife Refuge while you watch the sunrise over the marsh. The evening will present you with breathtaking sunsets from the rear deck. Launch your boat at the Rigolets Marina which is about 2 miles down the road. Dock your boat at our dock or fish and crab right from the dock. Camp Reel Estate sits on a scenic bayou that is a short 15 minute boat ride out to Lake Pontchartrain. The camp is a fully furnished 2 bedroom and 2 bath home with a large upper loft - the home sleeps a total of 10 people in beds. Our waterfront home has all the amenities of your home plus some things you might need while you enjoy your stay in our little piece of paradise. We provide a burner, boiling pot, propane grill, crab traps, fishing poles, pedal boat, kayak, plus all you will need in the kitchen to cook that pot of gumbo or fry up those fish you catch! Fish at night off of the dock lights or just relax in the bayou breeze. Of course there are also some great nearby restaurants for you to dine if the fish don't cooperate :).
Be sure to visit Olde Towne Slidell along with the quaint shops and restaurants. Check out their event calendar for their annual festivals which are sure to please. Fremaux Center is a great shopping and dining area and is only about 4 miles away. There are 4 grocery stores nearby also so don't worry if you forget to bring something!
Most importantly you will enjoy the serenity of the bayou breeze and the sound of the fish jumping, birds chirping and yeah you may see a gator or two in the wildlife reserve across the highway. We have TV and free internet but chances are those will be the last thing on your mind. We want to share our dream and little piece of paradise with you. We look forward to having you as our guests.

    It was an awesome experience. We fish this area all the time. We decided to do something we've never done.... took the whole family for 3 nights. We've never made the time i guess... it was our Mom and Dad, brother, sister, my son, my fur girl (egich has never been on a getaway) and myself. Mom is 86 and Dad is 84 and its difficult for them. We just fished from the dock. Mom caught a 20.8lb black drum and Dad caught 20 in Red. They were ecstatic, as we were. The Camp was absolutely beautiful and clean. Our host was easy to work with. They even had a lift. One of the deciding amenities because they're older and Dad has had several knee and hip surgeries, and brain bleeds. I cant say enough about this camp and the hosts. I promise you will not be disappointed staying here. Its home away from home. Peaceful, and absolutely beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Thank you!!

    Love staying at this house so much. The owner is the very best person I've ever worked with on any rentals I have dealt with ever! Very clean and has everything you need to make your stay great. I would highly recommend this house for your stay. I've stayed there at least 6 times and wouldn't go anywhere else.

    We had such an incredible time at this picturesque location. We soaked up New Orleans and Baton Rouge, but cherished our family time together at this house. It is absolutely stunning and my teens loved crabbing and kayaking. We grilled steaks, roasted veggies, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We had plenty of room and all slept well! The owners are extremely generous and thoughtful, communicating regularly to make sure we had everything we needed.

    This was a great place for our family to stay. The cabin was very clean and nice. We enjoyed the dock and the canoes. The teens had fun fishing and crabbing! I would suggest plenty of bug spray- just goes with the territory!

    The accommodations were amazing, I’m probably the best stock kitchen I have ever stayed in. Also the communication was top-notch from start to finish. We were very impressed.

    This house and host are the best. Everything you could possibly want to have a great time. Beds are comfortable and the place is very clean. I think I’ve been here at least 5 times and would not stay anywhere else. Can’t go wrong.

    Visiting NOLA from Delaware and we didn't want to spend all of our time in the city, instead we wanted a peaceful location to stay. This property fit the bill perfectly. Slidell has some great restaurants and scenic sites with a short drive to NOLA. The house was great and well maintained. Plenty of options for outdoor activities and relaxation. The kids enjoyed fishing/crabbing and exploring on the kayaks. Watch for alligators, they can be seen across the road if you watch closely. You wont regret renting this property and the host was exceptional. Thanks for a great experience!

    We stayed at Reel Estate for three nights. The place was just as described in post. Everything we needed for our stay was there. We cooked in side and BBq'ed on the grill. We caught fish off the dock, enjoyed the paddle boat, and just R&R!

    This house was perfect, and our amazing host was the best I have ever had… Our party included my daughter, my son (who we celebrated his 18th bday while there) my little momma, my fiancé, and myself.. ages ranged from 18-64… This house had everything we could have needed plus some. The sunrise and sunset were amazing, being on the water was great… Your 30 minutes from NOLA…The beds were comfy… If your looking for a place and cannot decide PICK THIS ONE… Literally the best Vrbo ever.

    We stayed at the Paradise Bayou Bungalow for a quick Mardi Gras weekend. The property was as described, very clean and everything worked. Contact with the property manager was perfect, check-in and check-out was seemless. Our only complaint was we did not get to stay quite long enough. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone.!!!
