Welcome to Retreat on the Bayou, your peaceful canal-front getaway tucked in a quiet cul-de-sac. This beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers a cozy, laid-back atmosphere with just the right touch of luxury and coastal flair.

The host of property are Truly a blessing, they helped us super last minute on more then one occasion and I can’t thank them enough for that! The property it self is great, conveniently located to a lot, you can tell the house stays maintained and taken care of from top to bottom. There was a slight issue with water heater which was fixed and working within hours of notifying them. Truly can not recommend a better place to stay then “The Retreat on the Bayou”
