About this property

Premium Waterfront Retreat 25 min to the Quarter

This waterfront home has all you want with AMAZING sunrise and sunset views over Bayou Sauvage and Lake Pontchartrain. With a stunning oversized great room and deck, there is something for everyone. We are only a 28 minute drive from New Orleans French Quarter! Relax on the back deck or in the hot tub while looking at a beautiful horizon. Go for a swim. Take out the kayaks. If you don’t want to get on a boat, fish and crab from the dock or chill in a hammock swing. The oversized living room and kitchen feature spectacular views. It is a great place to relax or watch a game. You’ll be camping in style at the Pelican View

AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE

We got married this weekend and stayed out here for the entire wedding weekend. The place was perfect. Henry the host was incredibly gracious and helped ENSURE our wedding weekend was perfect. We spent two days following our wedding just relaxing out at the house, on the deck,, watching alligators pass. My family came in from out of town and they got the full Louisiana experience out there. They preferred being out there versus being in the city. Best weekend of my life.

Amazing house on the water!

This is a beautiful property, right on the water, with crab traps too! We had a wonderful time at this house. We are close enough to New Orleans for a short drive into the city to explore, but far away enough from all the hustle and bustle. We caught a few crabs from the traps, and the kids loved poking at them. The property owners were very responsible via texts. Overall, a wonderful family vacation. One note for future vacationers: pick up a few jugs of spring water on your way in. The well water the house uses has a typical coastal water taste, so if you aren't used to it, just get a few jugs of water from Walmart as you pick up groceries on the way in.

NOLA Trip

We were a group of 5 guys who get together annually. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Henry (out host) was superb and very responsive. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting to avoid staying in the city. It's about an 35 minute drive went you wish to head into the city.

The location was great! It was far enough away from the city to be quiet, relaxing and even secluded with excellent fishing. The host made everything so easy and smooth and the house was clean, roomy and charmingly inviting. We didn't want to leave!

This property was great and exactly what we were hoping. We were greeted at checkin and shown the property. Henry was great to work with during the stay and he even helped show us how to crab while we were there. Could not have asked for a better Place or experience than this!

Wonderful VRBO!

We highly recommend this rental. We wanted a place outside the city to experience some quiet time in the bayou. We enjoyed coffee in the morning overlooking the water with boats passing by. We also enjoyed fishing and catching crabs from the dock. The house is spacious, extremely clean and the owners are very attentive. This was a family trip to attend a New Orleans Saints football game. We spent the day traveling nearby and would return early evenings to catch the evening sunset :)

Relaxing stay on the water

My husband and I greatly enjoyed our stay at Henry and Petra’s property. The house has an amazing waterfront view that will give you the most memorable sunsets, along with great wildlife sightings as well. Also, It is far enough away from the stress of the city that you can relax. The hosts were wonderful as well. During my stay Henry kept in touch to make sure everything was going great and to alert me of any storms or answer any questions I had. If I were to come back to Louisiana, I would definitely stay here again.

Big Easy Livin’

Great hosts! Nice, secluded spot, with cold a/c, steamy hot tub, and a chef’s kitchen! We spent time reading, playing games (on the grand table!), watching wildlife and unforgettable sunrises/sunsets. Quick ride to NOLA or Slidell. If we ever find ourselves traveling back to the area, we’ll definitely look to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Petra Guste

Host profile image
I am a New Orleans native that loves the outdoors as much as the city. My family loves the quick trip to escape the city and enjoy our "Sportsman's Paradises", one of Louisiana's nicknames. One of my many joys is watching my children play on the water while catching fish, blue crabs or kayaking. It's so nice to see them detached. Truth be told, it is nice that I detach with them.

Why they chose this property

If you want beautiful waterfront views, with very few neighbors, this is your place. We are nestled in Bayou Savage National wildlife refuge. It is conveniently located near Lake's Pontchartrain, Saint Catherine, Borgne as well as the rigolets. A boat launch is just .5 miles away. We have connections with local fishing guides that will pick you up on the dock.

What makes this property unique

As much as we anticipate you will want to enjoy being on the water, we are conveniently 25 minutes from the French Quarter and Louisiana's famous cuisine. There are only a few places this close to the city of New Orleans. In addition to all the things you can do at the property, golf, museums, city park, shopping are near by.
