Great little place right on the water. We had 5 adults in our group and this place was great. My son even said the futon couch was good sleeping. Enjoyed sitting on the back porch drinking coffee in the morning. Would definitely visit again!

comfortable accommodations
quaint townhouse but needs some TLC. Housekeeping could do a better job, all things considered a great place to stay.
Our stay was very pleasant. The host was very helpful with questions we had. The condo was very clean with all the amenities needed. The area was quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch watching the water and fish jumping in it. lol
Tranquil, would highly recommend.

Amazing location on the lake, nice and friendly neighborhood
A house on the water, with lots of nature around. Welcoming and nice neighbors. The house has everything for a stay.We had two wonderful days at home, we really loved the area and the treats that were waiting for us on the table.
Great location. Peaceful retreat but easy to get to Hustle & Bustle of New Orleans via the bridge or around the east side through the wild life refuge. Beautiful area for morning runs along the road way over looking the water & lots of wonderful bird sightings.
Great communication with the property manager, quickly answering any questions. Such a great trip..thank you!

Hi Brenda, thanks for letting us know about your stay. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they would like to share the following:
-The guest did not raise any issues until after their stay, despite our multiple attempts to ensure that their stay was proceeding smoothly. We reached out twice to inquire about their experience, but regrettably, we did not receive a response. None of the review points were raised by the guest during their stay; they only came to our attention after their stay had concluded.
-Rest assured, we do have an abundant supply of coffee filters readily available for our guests' use. Providing essential items like these during your stay is a priority for us.
-We want to assure you that all linens are regularly and thoroughly laundered to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and comfort for our guests.
-The Property Manager has assured us that the TV in the property is in excellent working condition. Following your stay, subsequent bookings have also confirmed that they experienced no issues with its functionality.
Our commitment to all our guests is to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests as evidenced in all other reviews.
We came in town for a family reunion and needed a place to stay. We found this wonderful location that fit exactly what my family needed. In the morning I went fishing off the dock in the back and caught a few different types of fish; alligator gar, croaker, and catfish. While fishing the neighbor let their dogs out which started barking and growling at me, luckily my children were inside. Dogs roamed free for about 15 minutes then owner came outside yelling for them to come inside.
Mid day we left for the reunion and returned in the evening to a cool home to relax and cool down. We really enjoyed the stay.
This townhome is quaint, quiet and has lots of unique characteristic but needs some love and a deep cleaning. The master bed was comfy, heater works well, water pressure was good, very quiet area while we were there between Christmas and New Years. The bathrooms need a major facelift and the townhome next door to the South is in disrepair probably from the last hurricane. This property isn't well suited for families with small children or anyone with limited mobility since there are lots of stairs. I sent my concerns to the property manager and she said they will address them.
I was in Madisonville for a long weekend from 2/10-2/13/23.
This condo, near/on Port Louis, was remote enough that I felt far from the city. It is roughly a 15-20 minute drive to grocery store (Rouses), gas stations, and fast food places.
Beds were extremely comfortable and had quality sheets and bedding. This host definitely values sleep and did not skimp in this area. I read a book and took long nap on the futon downstairs which was, to my surprise, also very comfortable.
TV is a huge flat screen (65 inch or bigger) and just one remote to work with - hallelujah.
Coming from Dallas, Tx, was a long haul on Friday and it rained all day my first full day (Saturday). Because of dinner plans on Saturday and Sunday nights, I did not get to catch a sunset. I caught a beautiful sunrise on both Sunday and Monday morning. The 360 water view is amazing.
I did not use the little wooden boat /canoe because it was full of water post rain and being a single girl from the city, I wasn’t sure if I should be out on a floating pier trying to dump water out of a boat also sitting in the water. I think they call that gator- bait. I might have tried that at 27, but not at 47. As they say, no pain, no gain. Sadly, I did not get to see any alligators on this trip.
There was some initial difficulty connecting to the WiFi, but the owners responded to my texts immediately and the problem was quickly resolved.
Bathrooms were clean and lots of space in the closet to unpack my suitcase. My only advice would be to replace the two older bath mats in the master bathroom with one new one. They were kind of moving all over the place.
Overall, this property was excellent. My only regret is that I could not stay longer. I hope to come back and visit again.

Dustin, the homeowners were surprised to read your review, as they are accustomed to providing 5-star experiences, and would like to clarify the following:
- We are sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your stay and wish you would have mentioned these items when we reached out about the wifi as we would have been happy to address them immediately. I spoke with my cleaner about the issues you brought to our attention and we do sincerely apologize for the ashtray being missed during cleaning.
- Thanks for your valuable feedback as we continue to improve for future guests!
Located out on a spit of land surrounded by the lake and all its natural flora and fauna, this week-appointed condo is beautiful and comfortable. Lots of little extras made this stay fun and enjoyable. Responsive owner/manager. Close to town but feels remote, perfect for nature lovers. Sunrise and sunset over the water absolutely spectacular.
Condo was just like pictured. No issues. Neighborhood was quiet and the few people we saw were very friendly. The property is about 8 miles from town so make sure you have whatever food etc you need.
We would fish every morning and evening. The wild life is awesome. Bring binoculars to view them better. Only saw 1 alligator and he was across the inlet. So no threat. All in all this place was fabulous and we will be back again for sure.
We would def stay at this property again! Yes, there were bugs, and alligators in the water out back!! But we loved watching them and enjoying our morning coffee while the fish were jumping out of water to catch dragonflys! Beds were so comfortable, teen slept well on futon downstairs. Jason's home was well-stocked. And though we had trouble with WIFI, he worked hard to resolve the issue, great comunication!
Thanks again Jason!
