About this property
Beautiful Lake House w/ Private Pier & Dock, Kayaks, Fishing + Crabbing Gear
Located just 30 minutes from NOLA, Island Girl II is an incredibly special lakeside retreat. Our cheerful 3-BD/2-BA lake house is smartly styled with a modern coastal theme, has bright and airy social areas, comfortable bedrooms, and fantastic outdoor living spaces. Kayaks, fishing & crabbing gear are provided for use on our private pier and dock that sits directly on Lake Catherine. Smart TVs, Wi-Fi, 2 BBQ grills, pro fishing guides and more – we have everything you need for an amazing time!
Inside the home we have a large, modern kitchen with upgraded stainless-steel appliances, a prep island, and dining table for 6 – a perfect space for fish fries and crab boils! Open sightlines from the kitchen to the family living area are an entertainer’s dream, and the outdoor covered patio right off this space was made for lazy days enjoying nothing but free time on the lake. Plan on grilling the catch of the day out here on the propane grill then dining alfresco at our outdoor table with gorgeous lake views as your backdrop.
After spending a long day on the lake, there are 3 beautifully styled bedrooms waiting for you that comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests. Sleeping accommodations are as follows:
Bedroom 1 – King bed Bedroom 2 – Queen bed Bedroom 3 – Two twin beds
Outdoor living down by the lake at Island Girl II is amazing, too! Our private pier and dock are the ideal place to fish, crab and soak up some rays when not out in our kayaks on Lake Catherine. Below the home is an additional paved outdoor living space with a charcoal BBQ grill, fish cleaning station, shady picnic spot, and hose for rinsing off.
Bringing your own boat? Easy – launch it at Island Marina just down the road then drive along the shoreline to our pier where you can tie off. And they don’t call this area fisherman’s paradise for nothing! Wrigley’s marina is a very convenient 3 minutes away and they sell live shrimp. We also have great recommendations for local, professional fishing guides to maximize your sporting time on the water. Be sure to inquire if you are interested.
Staying at Island Girl II provides the best of both worlds with a location just 30 minutes from New Orleans and the MS Gulf Coast. Spend the days/nights enjoying the parties, parades and casinos then head back to Island Girl for a relaxing and quiet stay away from the excitement.
Amenity Highlights Include: - Complimentary unlimited Wi-Fi - Smart TVs throughout the home - Dedicated workspace - Comprehensive housewares package + standard small appliances - Fresh linens and towels for every guest - Full-size washer and dryer - Cargo Elevator
Traveling with a larger group and need more space? We have a nearly identical 3-BD/2-BA home just down the street – ask us about renting both units!
Guest access All parts of the house, pier and dock are accessible to our guests.
Other things to note Pet welcome with pre approval and $100.00 pet fee.
We have plenty of space for guest parking including additional family that may visit during your stay.

Beautiful home with everything you could possibly need. The furniture was comfortable. Plenty of dishes for cooking and serving meals. The deck and dock were wonderful. Highly recommend.
Beautiful home and perfect size for our family. The dock was awesome. Kids enjoyed catching a variety of fish and an abundance of crabs. About 45 minutes from the city with the bridge out but definitely worth the little farther drive. It supposed to reopen soon I believe. Swamp tour just 5 minutes down the road was great as well. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

The swamp tour is great this time a year along with the fishing and crabbing! Yes that bridge should be reopening soon for a shorter commute to the city!
Glad you all enjoyed it.
Our family had a wonderful stay here in March 2026. The host communicated quickly. The house was exactly as described, was clean and the kitchen had everything you would need. We used the crabbing gear and caught 4 crabs. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching boats pass by, the sun rise, and enjoyed the scenery. This was a great place to stay and would recommend it to anyone staying in the area.
The host was very helpful and accommodating. The house was very well stocked with necessary supplies. This is a place we would definitely reserve again.
Great place to stay had a great time it was so relaxing and we caught fish! Everything is excellent owners are very nice would recommend and we will be back soon!!
Beautiful home, well stocked with amenities for a comfortable stay. We loved having the crab pots, all equipment for a boil, kayaks, pack n play, etc. Thank you!
Island Girl II was a GOOD CAMP Very clean , beds comfortable , Great view of LAKE CATHERINE .Laurie,host was great, easy to contact if needed. Has all that you need. Slidell only 10-15 min away. New Orleans , French quarter , Garden district only a 40 min drive . Just a suggestion, go to Kenny’s Seafood get some boiled crabs , boiled shrimp, crawfish(season) go back to camp sit out on back deck , take in view of Lake Catherine enjoying your crabs, shrimp and crawfish . That’s what it’s like to be a native of LAKE CATHERINE WILL DEFINITELY RETURN .. THANK YOU LAURIE.

This was an amazing trip! The house was clean and well equipped. The hosts had thought of everything! They were responsive and so helpful. We loved the entire experience and will be back!
Such a great experience! It was a beautiful and unique setting. House was very clean and well appointed. We loved the dock and beautiful view. We would definitely stay here again!
Perfect get away. House was everything we had hoped it would be. All you need is your clothes. They had everything else. The dock and pier were in excellent shape. We were able to dock our boat there the whole time. Would highly recommend staying there.
