Great location with plenty of space for a large family. Shower pressure and temperature was awesome for multiple guests at the same time. Would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a Louisiana getaway
Our host was very good at communication.The beds are very comfortable.Our favorite amenity was the Wet Coffee Bar with an ice maker!The dock being so close and madter bedroom on main floor were great features!
This house was quiet and peaceful was in an ideal location for our stay. It had everything we needed to feel at home inside and we had a cute serene view outside of the back porch.

We truly appreciate your kind feedback. Knowing that our property met your expectations and contributed to an enjoyable trip is exactly what we aim for. You were a wonderful guest and we would be happy to host you again anytime.
Great stay. Host was unresponsive through email and phone during entire stay. Other than that the home was nice except for the NO SHORT Term rental sign that slaps you in the face every time you walk into the backyard. Definitely made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable.

Hey Alfred, I checked my emails and phone. I had no messages from yall. As you can tell from other reviews I always respond and help in anyway. I really cant help what the neighbor does.
The house was in a great location if you are looking for day trips into the city and outside excursions. Great for families with kids. House is a bit dated…but clean and has everything needed.
The house was perfect! Plenty of space for a big group. The house was stocked with everything we needed. We had a full schedule while we were there, wish we had more time to spend at the house!
What a wonderful house it was beautiful and had plenty of space for us all. Perfect for a large family. We had beautiful weather and loved sitting out on the patio. The drive way is steep so if you are in a sedan the bottom will scrape but the SUV was fine.
It was a really great house for our group of 8 to come back to after hitting the city. It was stocked with everything. We really enjoyed the deck. Big pretty home.

Lovely home, unfriendly neighborhood
The home and setting were perfect for our extended family. Unfortunately, the neighborhood is in a law suit with the owner and one neighbor is especially hostile. The advertised boat was not there. No discount was offered. We had plumbing problems which the property manager was quick to address.

The boat is extra and is not included with the house and was never advertised as being included
The property wasn't very clean we all washed all the bedding before sleeping in beds. The stove had a huge, huge crack bad on the eyes needs to be replaced asap. There was leaks and smelled moldy. There was mold around the vents upstairs and the host can care less. She was very tentative at first but check in day she did not return my email. If feel we should not have to pay a cleanung fee because we had to clean before we unpacked because of the smell.

Crystal is making stuff up. I inspected the property the day of her check in. Everything was nice and clean. I went and inspected the property after she left and all the bedding was tuck at the ends just like the cleaners did it. She did not wash the bedding and the bedding was just fine. I think she was just making stuff up because they stained just about every towel that was there. The stove is cracked on the top because a previous guest cracked it and we had a new one on orders. I did not see any email from her or I would have answered. I have a 5 star rating as far as responding and making sure everyone is happy.
Lisa's home is absolutely amazing. There were 7 of us who traveled from The Bahamas for my 40th birthday. We hired a private chef who came each morning to do a breakfast spread and that was awesome as the kitchen was huge and made it easy. The rooms are so nicely spread out we did not feel like we were on top of one another.
Lisa was easy going and the house is in tip top shape. We spent most of our time at the house as this was a real vacation getaway from husbands and kids! After spending a few hours each day in the city, it was refreshing to go home to a peaceful quiet neighborhood.
The only thing I would recommend is including instructions on using the thermostat. It took some time and became a little frustrating trying to figure it out as it was not your average system setup.
I would definitely recommend this beautiful home to anyone who wants to truly relax and get away!
This property is quite lovely with a very relaxing outdoor setting. It's close to New Orleans so you can easily make a day trip to the city. There was a few things that needed to be cleaned, replaced or fixed on the property (a ceiling fan, coffee maker, dish towels...) but nothing that would stop you from enjoying your stay (at least not for us.). Our only issues was a water main that broke and shut down the water for the neighborhood for a number of hours. We made due with getting gallons of water from the grocery store. The other issue was the sign on the neighbors property saying "VRBO renters not are not welcome" and another sign stating that the person that owes the property is in violation of court order and we could be evicted and him fined $500 a day. Not something you want to see while on vacation. We didn't have any problems with the neighbors but we were a quit group.
We had a great time making family & friends memories to cherish forever. Beautiful location, property and quiet neighborhood. This is our first time staying in Louisiana and I’m sure we will be back!! Excellent area for a family to stay when visiting New Orleans. Best Regards
This property was clean and quiet. The neighbor had some signs indicating his dislike of being next to a VRBO, but he didn't cause us any issues. It's within a 30 minute drive to the French quarter, so close enough to go daily without being in the hustle and bustle of NOLA. The view is fantastic. The driveway is quiet steep if you have a lower sitting car, so be conscious of the angle you pull in. We found the upstairs bathtub to be very slick. But overall I would definitely stay at this location again. It was competitively priced for the location and had enough room for us all.
My family simply enjoyed Ms.Howell’s home. The pictures are exactly as it is when you walk in . The check-is process is very convenient. The location of the house on the water is fantastic. Ms. Howell was very polite and professional. We would truly stay at this property if we were to have another family vacation. The home is amazing.
Thank you, again
Our entire family loved this house. It was conveniently located, close to the interstate. Being able to fit our large group on the back patio without feeling like we were on top of each other was a huge plus. A couple of things to be aware of, although this wouldn't discourage me from renting again, but more like side notes...The neighborhood makes it very clear that they don't want short term renters there. A big sign when you drive in as well as signs pointed directly at this house did not make us feel welcomed. The driveway is very steep, if you have a car you may have to park in the street to keep from bottoming out. Also, the manager of the property must manage many properties, because they had a difficult time answering specific questions about the property. Lastly, you must pay a deposit AND pay for insurance, which wasn't listed under the total price until after I started the rental process. Again, all just little things that I would have liked to have known beforehand, but still would have rented.

Why they chose this property
Beau Chene 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. Beau Chene 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 and an amazing view of the bayou and wildlife. Fishing is right off the dock in front of the house. A five burner 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. Kayak and pontoon boat rentals are also available locally and the rentals can be delivered to the dock.
What makes this property unique
Quiet peaceful beautiful water setting perfect for boating, relaxing, swimming and fishing just to name a few. Close to the city downtown (27 miles) but far enough away to have both a city experience and a peaceful waterfront vacation.
