Shaggy Shack

We loved our stay. The owner and locals were friendly when we were outside but honored our privacy. We loved the local food and found the area to be a great vacation stop close to New Orleans. Relaxing and quiet with fishing and crabbing from your rental. Private beach at the end of the street. Hard to leave the house but when you do it’s close to tours and attractions in the area. Would recommend!!!

Quiet Neighborhood with Beautiful Views

What a wonderful stay at the Shaggy Shack--the property was as described. The neighborhood is so peaceful and we enjoyed the view--especially drinking coffee on the upper deck in the mornings. We would return again!

Great week fishing and crabbing.

The location is great for fishing and crabbing or just going out and enjoying local sites and cuisine. Boat dock is great and Ronnie had plenty of gear crab traps, kayaks etc and the traps were baited and ready for us when we got there. Overall we had a great.

Perfect spring break stay

Great change of pace for our spring break trip. Clean and nicely decorated. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen stocked with all you would need to make meals. I enjoyed beautiful sunrises every morning on the deck, and we made great use of the kayaks. My teens enjoyed the crabbing off the deck and watching the ducks. Highly recommend this place if you are visiting New Orleans and do not want to stay in the city. My daughters are already making plans for us to return next year they enjoyed it so much.

Wonderful stay

Shaggy Shack is a wonderful cute house on a canal. It makes you feel like you are in a small New England fishing village. The owner Ronnie lives next door will answer all you questions and recommends the best restaurants. He has bicycles, kayaks, crab cages and just about anything else you can think of. Don't hesitate to stay here!

Exceptional!

If you look in the dictionary for the definition of Shaggy, you'd find words like unkempt, sloppy, untidy. If you search for the definition of Shack, you'd come across words like rough cabin, a shanty. My friends and I beg to differ. The Shaggy Shack is not unkempt or untidy and definitely is far from a rough cabin or shanty. In fact, it is a delightful home away from home - perfectly decorated, quiet, comfortable, safe, and cozy. Ronnie, the owner, is friendly, professional, follows up to ensure things are running smoothly, and makes every effort to ensure his guests are enjoying their surroundings. Sad that only a 5-star rating is available on this site, because we'd give Ronnie and the Shaggy Shack a 10. Christie M.

My husband and I wanted a close quiet getaway and this was the perfect pick. Ronnie was there assisting in meeting our needs and showing us everything that was available for our use during our stay.

Had a awesome stay at the Shaggy Shack. Saw an alligator and did some crabbing which is pretty cool to people from Missouri. Ronald was an outstanding host and made sure we were comfy and had what we needed. We will definitely come back!

rain

Ronnie did everything he could to make our stay enjoyable. However he is not God and could not control the wound and rain we had every day. Since I could not fish nor golf I had to settle for eating all the fabulous food available. Well someone had to do it.

Wonderful Home with beautiful views.

We absolutely LOVED the Shaggy Shack. It was so much more than we expected. The house was clean, comfortable, peaceful. Ronnie the Host was exceptional and communicated with us on all of our needs/questions. The neighbor were awesome as well. I would highly recommend this home if you are looking for peace and quite. Close enough to the city, but has such a country and waterfront fill. We will be back. Thanks for everything. Ramona, Michael, Antonette and Leon.

Laid Back Shaggy Shack

If you're the type of person who takes pictures of bathroom vent fans and imperfect caulking near the sink in the guest bath than this probably isn't the place for you. If you like to chill out on vacation while dangling a line in the water and tossing crab traps off the dock this could work for you. The inside is very neat and very clean. The exterior is, for all intents and purposes, a working waterfront. Kayaks, boat racks, crab traps, fishing poles and rod holders, a hammock. There are tables and chairs under cover below and a big deck up top. The joint is a lot of fun and very relaxing. Ronnie has a gentle demeanor. He is helpful with advice and assistance. It's a great place for fishing and kayaking and just kicking back by the water. I'm a big fan of the people in this part of the world. Peace, Ronnie. Thanks for having us.

Amazing Time

Spent a few days for a short vacation. Was no where near long enough. The place was amazing, very nice and very comfortable, had everything we could want, had a great time fishing, crabbing, and watching the local wild life fell in love with the baby ducks. The owner is super nice and very informative and helpful. really enjoyed our couple visits with him wish we would of had more time to sit and chat with him. Really hope to get to go back again ! Thanks from the bottom of my heart for such a great time .

Cannot wait to come back.

We had a wonderful time...My son and his family joined us Saturday and we ate crabs, played games, fished and crabbed and laughed the day away. Could not ask for a better vacation...We plan to come back in March because my 6 year old great-granddaughter wants to celebrate her birthday there.

Sweet Stay @ The Shaggy Shack!

Fortunately The Shaggy Shack was open for a last minute booking this weekend. This place was definitely NOT SHAGGY! Our host was generous and accommodating to our group. We enjoyed the location of the property, the decor was fitting , the beds were comforting and we simply couldn’t imagine a better find! The pictures don’t do this place justice- it’s all that plus more! We will be back!

Perfect Lake P getaway

We loved our stay at the Shaggy Shack. Ron was an incredible host. We brought our boat, used on-site kayaks and canoe, crabbed from the dock and boiled our catch in the evening. Very quiet, relaxing atmosphere and perfect hangout under the house. Just quick jaunt to Lake P for fishing and boating fun!
