About this property

Cozy Cottage on the bay near Lake Verret. Great for all water sports and fishing

"My Sunshine on the Bay" is a beautifully restored cottage built between 1940 and 1950. The home was well maintained throughout the years which kept most of its original features intact. It's located in a quiet community on Pierre Part Bay just 2 minutes from Lake Verret. Great area for all water sports and the fishing is great also! Bring your bike and tour the rural town of Pierre Part or relax on the swing by the bay and watch the eagles, pelicans and other wildlife feeding nearby. For you fisherman, there is a boat launch and bait shop just steps away. There's plenty of room on the cottage grounds to park your boat or dock your boat next to the floating pier on our bay site area. You can also fish right off our floating pier on the bayside if you like. Looking forward to seeing you soon!!

Greg and his daughters were great guest. Kept the cottage clean and followed the guidelines. I would definitely recommend them to any other hosts. Sorry Greg, we love to meet all our guests if possible but unfortunately we were out of town. Hopefully there's a next time so we can meet you and your family.

Cajun Country Retreat

The house is beautiful and adorable. My brother and I both had a memory of our grandparent's house, with the natural wood finishes and custom built-ins. I was traveling with my elderly father, and we both were very comfortable, had plenty of room and felt safe. We were there visiting family but ended up making many new friends to include Gail and Bernard! If you visit, ask for a boat tour with Bernard's brother Timmy. He went out of his way to ensure we had a great and safe time. I fell in love with the lake and all its beauty, alligators and all! I recommend the lunch plate special at Landry's Seafood, a burger from Buddy's Drive in and anything at the deli from the Pierre Part Store! We were spoiled by our neighbors who made us a crawfish dinner! It was amazing and I made many wonderful memories with my dad and family. I highly recommend staying here and if you don't fall in love with it and the people then something is wrong with you!
