About this property
Do Jazz Fest and French Quarter then come back to peace & quiet!
You can do the big city all day and then relax in the peace and quiet of the Paradise on the Bayou without the crowds. Sun yourself on the upper deck, hang out on the bottom patio with the water view, make drinks at the custom cypress bar, go boating, boil seafood, BBQ or what ever you want. All without crowds or people getting in your space... Perfect for visiting New Orleans and the French Quarter, just 25 minutes down I-10 and you are there! Then come back to the peaceful retreat of the serenity of the waterfront location. This little piece of paradise invites the whole family! A fully furnished 3 bedroom, 2.5-bath home located on the Rigolets between Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne. Rustic hard wood floors with an eclectic mix of antiques and charming art, including beautiful wrought iron balcony fencing from historic New Orleans.
Paradise on the Bayou boasts vaulted ceilings, central air, comfortably overstuffed furniture, and lots of natural light. Property features stunning waterfront views from the upper and lower deck, both east and west, to soak in fun-fueled sunrises and romantic sunsets. Locally owned and operated, this light and airy camp is a perfect home away from home for family, friends, and couples. Dock your boat and/or jet skis for easy access to fishing and water sports. We have room for 2 - 24 ft boats. There is a fish cleaning table for your use. There is even a 14K Lumin fishing light for night fishing off the pier! A full service marina with live bait and launch just down the road complete this nautical ambiance for the avid or casual fisherman. Trout, Redfish, and Bass galore, with plenty of space to clean and a full size kitchen to cook your next masterpiece. Want a fishing charter? Capt. Kenny Kreeger is one of the best fishing guides in the area and lives right next door. Charter with him and get a few minutes of extra sleep before he puts you on the fish. Just step right on his boat from our dock and go catch them! Additional amenities include parking for up to 4 cars, a spacious party deck, full size dishwasher, cable TV, and indoor/outdoor bars/seating areas. All linens will be provided. Close enough to enjoy the tourism and activities of New Orleans but so cozy the whole family will stay enthralled with the easy comfort and relaxation afforded by our little piece of Paradise on the Bayou!

About the host
Hosted by Butler Ball
I am a native New Orleanian, this is my sixth camp and definitely the best one I have ever owned. I love fishing and water sports but my wife loves cooking, good food and family time. This "camp" gives us and you the best of both of those worlds. It is really not a "camp" but in this area even million dollar waterfront homes are called camps if you use them on the week-end.
I have owned 6 "camps" but this one is the best ever!

Why they chose this property
This one has it all. Fishing, water sports, crabbing and just relaxing with a water front view. You are only 25 minutes from New Orleans so anything you want to do there is a quick car ride away but you can retreat back to the peace and quiet of the Bayou!
What makes this property unique
Night fishing light on the pier, in fall and winter you can catch right off the dock. If you know how to throw a cast net you can even catch your own live shrimp off the pier!
