What a wonderful retreat!

I loved everything about our stay here. From the great communication with the hosts, to the location, the gorgeous sunsets and the amenities - this place had it all. We didn't have kids with us this time, but would highly recommend to anyone who does. Gorgeous home, thank you for sharing it with us!

Taking grandson fishing

We loved the place. The dock was fantastic. Even though the weather wasnt the greatest, the house had plenty to keep our 12 year old grandson occupied.

A Perfect Holiday Retreat and Property

The home is well maintained and clean: fresh sheets and blankets, plenty of cozy pillows, plenty of hot water/showers, soaps and such. The landscaping and view is outstanding. Kitchen well stocked. Clean and sparkling. The patio overlooking the lake well-lit and charming. It's easy to find on GPS. Caught some redfish, yum. Plenty of room for a family to spread out for fun, sun and play. The neighbors respectful and kind. We felt very safe. The owners/host are kind, helpful and honest - they kept me informed as to the status as we went thru process of reservations to check in. As I wrote - a perfect holiday home. It made my top of the list of the VRBO properties I rented.

Family Spring break

We really enjoyed our time on this spring break getaway. Kids got to go down the pier, set crab traps and go fishing. Adults got to relax. We received some awesome food recommendations for crawfish and boudin from the owners. Definitely follow directions to bring big spray:)

About the host

Hosted by David

Hello! My name is David and my wife is Crystal. She has lived in Lake Charles her entire life and has been heavily involved in the community so she is your “go to” with questions about places, events, people, etc… I am a transplant from Texas since 2004. I definitely call Louisiana home as well. Do you have any questions about why we’re called “Sportsman’s Paradise?” Come at me bro! Heck, if I’m free I’ll take you fishing with me during your stay. We have a large blended family and our world revolves around family life. We absolutely love traveling with VRBO ourselves because it allows the flexibility to travel affordably as a family in the comfortability of a home. Feel free to book with us instantly or reach out if you have any questions or want to chat about anything in the Lake Charles area.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood has a "retirement" like feel to it. You will see the occasional golf cart cruising the quiet streets. Fisherman launch only a few hundred yards away from the camp at the nearby marina.

What makes this property unique

The camp itself is a bit of a legend in the area. 1940's craftsmanship. There are even newspaper articles of a married couple breaking into the camp to ride out hurricane Audrey when they got trapped in the area as it made landfall in the '50s! Such a cool camp! Story has it that the camp has withstood so many major hurricanes because it was built by a mason who laid bricks and rebar for Angola prison. This original structure was built with the same fortress like craftsmanship.
