About this property

Spacious Waterfront Accommodation, Venice Louisiana

MAXIMUM CAPACITY: 14 beds, 4 beds are queen size and 10 are twins. There are also 2 couches large enough to stretch out on.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!
It is moored just 70 yards south of the Venice Marina Restaurant and Fish Board against the parking lot but yet it allows for easy access to all Mississippi River Passes and all hot spots for fishing, hunting or diving.

You will find yourself in the shade on those hot days after fishing because the cleaning station is on the back deck facing north east.

The kitchen has 2 coffee makers, a microwave, fish fryer, 2 sets of pots and pans with matching dish-ware, glasses for the whole family and a dishwasher to help with it all.

The living room has a chest freezer, washer and dryer hidden away around the corner from the surround sound, satellite TV, 65" TV and a 40" television on opposing sides of the bar.

The dock has a 250 pound Commercial Ice Maker on an 800 lb ice chest, Gas Grill, Propane Seafood Boiler, Cleaning Station and Bench Seating and Folding Chairs to sit back and relax.

The place is well equipped but bring your own toilet paper and paper towels to be safe. I don't stock paper products and I only stock up to 10 trash bags per guest.

CLEANING TABLE

My housekeeper keeps the place very clean. She needs exclusive use of it on change-over days between 12 noon and 4 p.m to do so. If the cleaning ladies are done with it prior to 4 p.m. the guest will be notified of an early check-in availability. No late check-outs are allowed without a manager's approval out of respect to the housekeeper's schedule.

Fishing Trip

Other than checking in about 45 minutes late, as the property was still being cleaned, we had an awesome stay. Cliff was great and we will be looking to stay there next year on our annual event. Great property and very convenient to everything.

As perfect as we could expect.

Our stay at the Fishy Alibi was about as perfect as we could expect. The place was clean, comfortable and had all the amenities that you would need in a fish camp. It is very convenient to the parking lot which made unloading our gear a luggage very easy. It was also a very easy walk to the marina and restaurant. We will definitely be staying here on our next trip to Venice.

Clean place that works fine for a fishing trip

Despite good directions it is somewhat hard to find. Cabin like and but kept clean as advertised. Washer and dryer worked fine but Outside ice machine did not work.

About the host

Hosted by Cliff Robison

Host profile image
I was introduced to Venice by friends and have been coming here from Michigan since 2011 for the world-class fishing.

My father and I have been avid sportsmen our whole lives. When he told me that he was selling his business and that he would like my help to find a place on the water, I knew just where to take him.

Why they chose this property

This may seem strange to some of you (especially if you haven't experienced it) but renting smaller house boats located along the main thorough fare of the marina may give you the feeling that you are still on a boat. The location of our Fishy Alibi property has less exposure to the wake put off by the other boats coming and going. I would contribute the solid feeling of it to it's sheer size as well but, whatever it is, I don't feel like I am still out on the water when I am staying in the Fishy Alibi.

No more hauling the wagon back and forth! That haul takes time and energy that is better used settling in with a drink my friend. The Fishy Alibi's position against the parking lot has many other advantages as well like walking to and from the store, bar and restaurant are easy, short trips. Get your fish on the board, walk home to get what you need and back to the bar in 7 minutes.

I like the number of rooms and guests have said that having 2 bathrooms alleviates a lot of issues with larger groups in the morning trying to get out fishing.

What makes this property unique

Here in Venice you can fish year round, 24/7, a great place to shoot ducks, geese, rabbits, wild hogs and even deer. You can fish for bass, red fish, speckled trout, tuna, marlin, dolphin (all in the same day!) and you never know what you might see on your way out. It's common to see Manta Rays, Whale Sharks, Mola Mola, Turtle and Sperm Whales.
