Very good

Outdoor space was very relaxing. It has easy access with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the first floor for people with limited mobility. We would have enjoyed having chairs in the bedrooms. There was an amble supply of towels. My impression is that whoever owns or manages this property, has never stayed here or monitored the housekeeping.

Great space and location

Spent school vacation week at Windward with family, including 2 grandchildren. Plenty of room for 5 adults and 2 children, with a pool for additional fun. Lovely setting on the canal with good proximity to New Orleans, grocery sores and Swamp Tour.

We love your place. It was both beautiful and relaxing. The neighborhood was very nice. We would definitely book again if we came back to the area. No negative comments, but with the 104 weather...an outdoor ceiling fan would be nice.

Beautiful home

It was our first time visiting Louisiana, honestly the places we wanted to visit were at about 25 minutes distance from the house. However, the home and the back deck, plus the pool gave us a well time spent there. We enjoyed the house and the person in charge was great at communicating. There were a few things missing at the house, like toilet paper and not enough garbage bags but I contacted the person in charge and within an hour she sent someone to bring us what we needed. loved the view from the master bedroom. We had a great time.

Stay Away!!! Not as advertised

Sent property owner… received no reply Mrs Lisa Our stay was not satisfactory. I am not sure if you visit your home but I would like to give you the following feedback. 1- Washer was connected but never fixed. Master bathroom tub cannot be used for baths due to drain not working properly. Hose doesn't work on the back patio. Pool has an excess of salt at the bottom of the pool. House water softener level is way too high because after showering or taking a bath, everyone never felt dry. 2- Floors have not been moped in a very long time. Walls are not wiped, countertops were not wiped, nothing was dusted. Your bathroom towel rugs are filthy and haven't been washed probably since you purchased them. There are stains on the drapes. If your home was renovated, it looks like it was renovated years and years ago. Your description reads newly renovated. That may need to be taken off of the description. 3- tree limbs needed to be picked up and trimmed 4- your exterminating company either needs to come or needs to be replaced with a company that will spray to kill insects/bugs. There are an infestation of roaches on your patio from the tree. There are roaches in your home and roach poop in the kitchen drawers. 5- the pool noodles left for use gave the kids rashes from flesh eating bacteria causing the kids not to go back to use the pool. The salt from the pool caused the sores to burn. The lake is not safe for swimming due to an infestation of alligators/garfish

Nice & modern home right on the water. After a few days in the city, our ladies trip crossed over to Slidell and this house met all of our needs. Swamp tours are close, easy drive up the gulf to hang out on the beaches, and old towne Slidell super cute!

Perfect large home!

We loved our stay in this home. Perfect for 3 couples, a 7 year old, two 2 year olds and a baby. The flow throughout the home worked well with plenty of space, bedrooms, and bathrooms for everyone. The kitchen worked well with multiple cooks. The deck and pool were totally enjoyable. (For the toddlers we just put their life jackets on any time they went outside. We used the dock, and fished successfully ten minutes away by boat. Fresh caught fish for dinners. Location was very convenient with easy fast grocery deliveries. Quick in to New Orleans and the airport. And lots of outdoor activities available nearby. The home was perfect for the multi-generational vacation.

Nice but……

Although the property was beautiful and beds were comfy there was one major flaw, security. The house has some electrical issues and when reaching out to the owner she was responsive with sending out someone to take a look. When service should up they informed us that the electric issue has been going on for over a year and he informed the owner, over a year ago, that he is unable to fix this issue. THEN service installed a chain on the front door the day before we left and informed us that the code to access the house key had never been changed. Everyone who had stayed there in the past knows that code. NOT SAFE! I would not stay there again because of that safety risk.

Mommy Vacation 2022

We had a group of 9 women on our stay. We had plenty of room and enjoyed the property so much. It is located in a very populated residential area, but we quickly made friends with the neighbors and had no issues. The property was clean and spacious. We had a few suggestions, but no complaints. Inside and outside table seating in for 6, but house is rated for 12. I suggest adding some bar stools inside and maybe another small patio set. The downstairs guest bathroom is tiny. Need more mirrors in bedrooms and throughout house as you can't really use bathroom to get ready. The pool was great, but it is a little more shaded than we would have liked. Suggest some sort of handrails for it and something to prevent slipping when exiting pool when wet. The deck is painted wood and several of us slid on it after exiting pool. It also stormed during our stay and after the pool had lots of debris the rest of our stay. Overall we loved the place and would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Howell

Why they chose this property

Windward is very comfortable and beautifully decorated with all new furnishings and finishes. Right on the water it is peacefully set in a waterfront community just a short drive (25 minutes) from the French Quarter and downtown New Orleans. Very conveniently located for shopping and dining with the family. Windward is also centrally located to allow access to the Mississippi Gulf coast beaches and casino's. You will not find a more comfortable home with water front access, a deep water dock, large deck with comfortable plush seating, a pool, and an amazing view of the bayou and wildlife. Fishing is right off the dock in front of the house. A BBQ pit is available right on the deck. You can have it all with swimming. boating, kayaking, water skiing, tubing, barbecuing within a short drive to New Orleans. The home also has a large fireplace for cozy fires after a long day on the town. Very peaceful and quit at night for a restful night sleep. Great close dining options within a few minutes drive of the house.
