Bayou Waterfront Getaway in Luxury- 25 Min to New Orleans

With a gorgeous morning view of Bayou Liberty from your kitchen/ living room, your sure to enjoy your morning coffee and breakfast even more. Not to mention Grill outs and get together with friends on the large porches and boat dock.

Will be back!

This property was a perfect fit for us! We had a wonderful time with family! We were looking for a place to relax and kick back and enjoy the grandkids. We so enjoyed our stay and being by the lake was a bonus. Great place with lots of room. Had a very comfortable stay. Look forward to coming back for another long stay!

Beautiful home in a friendly neighborhood

This home was just as described, everything worked properly, the neighborhood was great, everyone we encountered was so friendly and helpful. Close enough to visit the city for the day, but with the small town vibe. I didn’t have to interact much with the property manager, but what interaction I did have was friendly and prompt. Great overall experience, thank you!!

Paradise

This is an AWESOME property. The pictures don't do it justice. It's about a twenty - thirty minute drive to New Orleans and to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It's away from everything, but close to everything. We enjoyed fishing and crabbing right off of the dock. We loved watching the wildlife, particularly the alligator in the bayou (we called her Alli). Nick was very, very helpful with all of our questions and concerns. This was definitely one of our best and most memorable vacations.

A BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS

It was awesome! All of our kids and families came down from Wisconsin. There were 13 of us all together. The check in was super easy and the house was clean and well stocked. The bayou out back was wonderful. The 3 bathrooms was a God send with a group that large. The house was roomy and the beds were so comfortable! It was close enough for us to spend a couple days in New Orleans and we spent a day in Gulfport MS. We just had all around great time. Everyone in our group complimented the house we chose and the location. We would definitely do this again since my husband and I travel alot for work it was awesome!

Excellent place to stay!

I rented this house for my husband’s 50th birthday surprise getaway. There were 12 people in our group and everyone had plenty of room. We enjoyed seeing the alligator in the water out back and named him George. The owner let us checking in early and was very helpful from the start of our trip until the end. The house was very clean and well maintained.

Best New Orleans vacation!

The property was in quiet and calm neighborhood, yet not far from attractions and tourists sites. I have to say that house gives you the best experience of living in New Orleans, starting with the breath taking bayou, beautiful trees covered with Spanish moss, and lots signing birds, not to mention visit from a small alligator. The property was clean, plenty of space and well equipped with almost everything you needin a house. There’s plenty of outdoor space and areas to enjoy the outdoors scenery. The deck in the bayou was everyone’s favorite, kids spent lots of time fishing. I spoke to property owner, easy to get in contact with and fast response. I liked the property so much I decided to stay an extra day, and owner made accommodations. Thanks so much!

Best House ever!

Goodness I don’t even know where to start! We loved it there! The house fit 13 us, plenty of room, beds, bathroom. The kitchen had everything we needed and the owners are amazing! Super nice people! They truly value their guest and care about you having a good experience. Our kids favorite thing was the alligator in the Bayou in the backyard. We never had any issues with it. When we would go stand in the dock he would come right up usually. The kids loved it! There plenty there to keep you occupied. We would definitely stay again. The ocean we went too was about 30 minutes away not a bad drive and we got to enjoy kind of being to ourselves. We got the best of both worlds!

Great family time

We had a great time with the family, the location was good. We were with 16 people, for sleeping it was a bit crowded. A few more towels, would have been great too. We missed stuff like, detergent, dish soap, toilet paper, garbage bags, cloths to clean the countertop. I didn’t realize, that stuff like that wouldn’t come with the house. But overal it was a great experience

EARLY THANKSGIVING

This was a beautiful property and well appointed with all that a family would need in a home away from home. I rented this property last year thinking it was Thanksgiving week and learned as I got closer to the dates that Thanksgiving is next week, so I had the home to myself for these past three days. And while it was more house than I needed for one person, it was well worth it as I got a lot of rest that I clearly needed. I would absolutely consider renting this property again. Nick was very timely in his response to any question that I had, I so apprecitate this as well.

Escape to the Bayou

Nick has been a gracious host and worked with any questions we threw at him both before arriving and during our stay. We went for our wedding and were bringing several people with us from Ohio and need somewhere that was a little more roomy than can normally be found in downtown. For fisherman and those seeking tranquility the Bijou house is a perfect location. The only reason I took off one star isn't really due to the property it was because if you are going to spend a lot of time in the inner city you should be prepared to make a day of it, its not a place you can just run back to real quick. It really depends on your personal preferences and what you are looking for. The beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen is fully stocked, it has everything you need to feel at home away from home. The porch is perfect in the evenings and early mornings to sit back in the rocking chairs and watch the swamp cats fish and listen to the frogs croak. I would definitely go back and stay in one of Nicks properties we enjoyed the house thouroughly.

Family Fun!

It was so nice to have a place to meet up with my grown children and their families! There was 13 of us, plenty of room! The four teenage boys loved having their own space in the downstairs bedroom. They had heir own living area, 1/2 bathroom and was right next to he garage where they played darts and ping pong. Everyone enjoyed fishing and a small alligator came up daily to greet us! This lovely home has a spectacular view! We enjoyed he open concept of he living/kitchen/dining rooms for visiting and board games. The back yard stayed wet during our visit but their was adequate front and side yard area for the children to play. The home owner was easy to contact if anything was needed.

Good casual place to stay

Overall this is a great place to stay, far enough yet close enough from New Orleans and on a beautiful bayou location. So here's the great the good and the be aware of The great: 1. the owners are the nicest most responsive and communicative VRBO owners I have ever dealt with. We had a few issues and they could not have been more responsive. Nick went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy and our stay met expectations. We had a few small issues and Nick not only communicated quickly but got the issues fixed in record time. 2.OMG THE BAYOU IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. The weather did not cooperate for us to bring chairs out there but we sat on the dock for quite a while. The amount of birds were astonishing and it was amazingly peaceful. Location is not far from the highway, close to swamp tours not a bad drive to New Orleans. 3. Several good restaurants in Slidell Palmettos and Times Grill are fabulous. 4.Ample towels, lots of dishes, newer appliances, comfy beds on main floor. 5.Big table for gathering and rocking chairs in screen porch for gazing out at nature. The good: 1. Ample parking 2. Carport if it rains 3. Newer funiture 4. Lots of upstairs closets The be aware of 1. The stairs to the main floor. For people with bad knees or heavy suitcases the stairs can be a struggle, there's a lot of them. 2. The bedroom downstairs . In our opinion the bedroom downstairs is for appropriate for younger people. You have to walk up a steps to the bathroom toilet throne and that's a little disconcerting for those of us over 60. If there was a closet downstairs we could not find one. 3. Lack of hangers. We ended up buying a bunch at Walmart and leaving them there. I am sure something like that walks away frequently, just be aware if you're bringing a lot of clothes that you may have to do the same. A suggestion I would make for Nick is that while there are a lot of light outlets in the bedrooms a lot of us who travel have gotten very used to being able to plug our phones in right next to the bed.Maybe consider purchasing a nightstand light with the plugs or a USB plug on the bottom all in all it was a wonderful home to stay in for what we wanted to do in New Orleans and the surrounding areas. if we ever come back to New Orleans we would definitely run this property again

About the host

Hosted by Nick Deslonde

Host profile image
I Purchased this home right before Hurricane Katrina, but of course Katrina did a little damage to the down stairs of this home which was completely renovated. During that time I found work in other areas and decided to move to the beach to become a beach boy. I wish I could pick this home and property up and move it to my new location but I cant so I hold it as a great place to stay for a getaway and a place to stay when I do business in New Orleans. The home is protected by a security system as well as local neighbors and friends (not to mention a police officer that lives in plan view of the home across the street) that look after the place and make sure nothing bad happens to it. It is in a very secure area but its nice to know the backup is there while I'm gone.

Why they chose this property

This spot speaks for itself. It was too beaufiful not to pass up. It gave me the feel of being in the islands somewhere since the property is surrounded by bamboo trees and natural growth.

What makes this property unique

The Views, the wildlife, the dock are just a few things that make this house memorable.
