About the host
Hosted by Debbie Long
My husband and I fell in love with this cottage the very moment we walked in, we both immediately envisioned it as a perfect retreat for ourselves, our friends, and as a perfect place to host guests from all over the world. We also offer the cottage for business retreats and/or spiritual retreats for bible study groups, solo stays, and even the perfect place for writers and/or artists to re-connect with their creative sides. We have 4 grandchildren and have lived in the Northshore area since 1990; both being raised in New Orleans, we are familiar with the entire Metropolitan area. We are both Realtors with a combined experience of 40 years in the real estate industry, so hosting guests from all over the world is what we are looking forward to. My husband can even cook an authentic N'AWLINS meal for you! Being "foodies" ourselves, we know all of the amazing places to eat... whether you want to stay nearby or take a day-trip... just let us know where and what type of adventure you want to go on (food, shopping, kayaking, fishing, swamp tours, boating, bird-watching, zoo, wildlife, aquariums, beaches, biking, walking/running, swimming, camping, picnics, sunsets/sunrises, museums, haunted tours, river-boat cruises...the list of things to do within an hour's drive is never-ending...)
The versatility is un-ending... whether you are in town for one quick night while traveling or you need a place to stay for an extended time; THE SUNSHINE COTTAGE can be a perfect fit! If there are special requests which would help your stay more memorable, just let us know... we will do all we can to make it happen!

Why they chose this property
This cottage in one word... "peaceful"! It sits on a large corner lot with a beautiful and majestic oak tree to the side. Cozy front porch allows for great conversations while enjoying a cup or coffee in the morning and the covered rear porch makes for the great place to relax after a long day with a glass of wine. The one car carport is usually used as a space for outdoor dining and can easily be set up for a small family event (birthday party, showers, bbq, crawfish boils, etc...).
The nearness to the Interstate systems (I-12, I-10, I-59), make it easy access for just the one-night weary traveler or for a traveling nurse needing to stay while on an extended assignment.

What makes this property unique
The mix of "antique cottage" with modern amenities makes this place PERFECT! My favorite feature is the soaking claw foot tub with shower...Taking a long hot soak at the end of a day of sightseeing or traveling is the perfect way to wind-down & enjoy your get-a-way. My husband & I have 4 grandchildren, so we know the importance of feeling "welcomed" when staying away from home. We also have 3 small pups and travel with them everywhere we go, so it's very important that you feel comfortable when bringing your "FUR-babies" with you. Although we are new to the hosting side of short term rentals, we have years of experience in staying as guests, therefore we know what amenities are important to us when we travel, so we have tried to think of EVERYTHING. We are open to any/all suggestions from our guests and have quickly already reached a stellar 5-STAR REVIEW rating on another site. THE SUNSHINE COTTAGE is also unique because you can drive an hour in just about any direction...HEAD SOUTH and find yourself in the historic French Quarter/Business District of New Orleans (Audubon Zoo, Street Cars, Casino, World Renowned Restaurants, Haunted Tours, Cafe Du'Monde Beignets, Jackson Square, River Boat Rides, Aquarium, too much to list). Head EAST for the beaches of the Mississippi Gulf Coast (great food, fishing, boating, aquarium, shopping at the Outlet Mall, Stennis Space Center, etc.). Head WEST 10 minutes & catch amazing views of Lake Pontchartrain, bike on the Tammany Trace, shop at the Farmer's Market on the Mandeville Trailhead, and so much more... another 30-40 minutes WEST & you can find yourselves at the fun GLOBAL WILDLIFE CENTER or downtown in the Strawberry & Antique Capital of the world...Ponchatoula, Louisiana! Head NORTH to visit the sweet little towns of Abita Springs and/or Covington... Keep heading North and you can even head to Kentwood (home-town of Brittany Spears) or continue NORTH & go see Jackson...the capitol of Mississippi.
