Beautiful lake house very well appointed and true to the online post description. Very much appreciated the extras such as coffee, pods creamer, and sweetener since our group completely forgot those things. Would absolutely visit again.
Our family and some close friends booked this home for our fishing trip, Absolutely beautiful home, stunning views, we absolutely loved this home! Highly recommend this home to everyone! You will not be disappointed!
We had a great time with my the grandchildren and family. We tubed on the lake and made lots of memories. This home was just what we were looking for. The accommodations were perfect for our group of 9. I especially loved the outdoor area where we cooked and played the provided games.
Property was in good clean condition. Check in was simple. Property owner was quick to respond. Comfortably fit our entire family of 13. Nice quiet location.
Only issue would be the proximity to the places we wanted to visit, but that’s on me. Got stuck at the swing bridges for 20+ minutes multiple times.
The house was perfect for my and my extended families' get together. The outdoor amenities for entertaining would have been used, but the weather and cool temperature was not comfortable so we stayed inside; however, the large kitchen island and two dining areas allowed us to enjoy our meals together as a large family of eighteen adults without feeling cramped. There was plenty of seating and the large tv in the open concept living room allowed us to play games together as a large family and no one was excluded from participating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Family vacation
6 adults 3 children 2 boats.The GOOD. The house was beautiful. It was very modern and updated. The view of the lake was great and the room to spread out and do other things was wonderful. The ability to work on boats and have the boat lift was a great plus. The elevator for getting all our luggage up to the 2nd floor was amazing. The balcony on the back of the house overlooking the canal was wonderful and had great seating options. The AC worked very well. All the rooms had enough space for our group, and the office to get some work done was nice. The BAD. All but the ping pong table in the game room was broken. This put a stain on the vacation as we were expecting to be able to have the kids play in the game room. The coffee pot had an entire ecosystem in it. It had not been cleaned or emptied of the grounds in a long time. The boat lift straps were disconnected from one side and thrown in the mud took us a while to get it straight. The boat lift is a little sketchy, we put a John boat in it, wouldn't recommend anything heavier. The Mako we left in the water on the canal. The BBQ grill was rusted out and missing parts. The ad said there were kayaks, there were no kayaks (I even talked to the person at the company that maintains the house and he said there are not any kayaks).Conclusion.Overall, the house was amazing. We had a great time and loved the time we spent there. We will be booking here again. Next time we have a better idea of what to expect. We have alread

Beautiful Home Awful Community
The home was beautiful and spacious, however, the home is advertised like it’s this wonderful fishing adventure. It sleeps 18 people and there was a total of 6 washcloths and towels in the place.(there were 12 of us!) I didn’t go on vacation to do laundry everyday! There were no dish clothes and a total of 4 trash bags and we rented this place for 5 days and 4 nights for a lot of money! No kayaks as advertised, lift was broken. We live in Louisiana and have been fishing and crabbing in Cameron parish many times but this will be the last. The community surrounding the house was very uninviting and the people were not hospitable AT ALL. we had 4 young children with us and tried fishing on the canal that was touted in this listing, it was full of alligator gar and no fish or crabs. Tried to crab after the ‘4 minute’ walk to the lake and that was such false advertising. Yes, you could walk to the lake and that was IT! There were people watching all the grass by the lake to let you know real quick it was all private property and you could not fish there despite the fact it was no where NEAR THE HOUSE. We met one kind person and he told us to let the community know that we were guests of his to allow our small grandchildren to fish, well, no one cared that a family was trying to get together and make memories, they refused to even allow a 4, 3 and 2 year old to fish! We have traveled all over the country and out of the country but had the worst experience in our own STATE!
It was a lot of fun!! Game room was great and it fit our big family perfectly. There’s tons of seats, tables, etc to sit outside and enjoy! Beds were super comfortable! My only complaint is that it definitely wasn’t cleaned well before we came. There was random stuff left everywhere and I went to get my kids paci from underneath the couch cause it fell and it had food and stuff from the last guests.
There was ten people in our party, but the property could easily accommodate six more. The different sitting areas made it easy to spread around. The lift was very helpful for getting the luggage up. Great place if you want to get away from it all, but still have the comforts of home.

-a hole in the ground in the backyard, dangerous for children
The home is beautiful. The inside was clean and just immaculate. The outside because of the birds and such was dried bird poop everywhere. We didn't get to fish or crab but that was okay. Our family loved the house. It was so spacious that every one had their own space without over crowding each other. The gameroom was nice but it is left open so that was a little scary. The layout in the listing needs to be updated. The master king suite is gorgeous with a beautiful bathroom and bed is confortable. The office has a day bed that's it, very small with tv, it was perfect for our daughter. It is right outside the master. There is a queen room and a two bunkbed room (4 beds) that share a hall bathroom. Then there is what looks like an apartment size space wth a queen bed with a daybed in there and a jack and jill bathroom to a two twin bed room. This space is nice for a family because it has a kitchenette and small sitting area away from the main part of the house. The living room is gorgeous and the kitchen is beautiful. There are tvs in every room. The balconies on this house allows for aome amazing views. The kids loved riding the golf cart and 4 wheeler around. The neighbors are not nice people. I do believe it is because we were an African American family in a predominantly Caucasian neighborhood. They called the police because of the kids riding the 4 wheeler and golf cart. The kids were not doing anything wrong but they didn't want them riding down the street.
