This place was exactly what we needed for our short fishing trip. The place is clean, and the location was ideal. The owner was amazingly responsive and easy to work with. I'm looking forward to future trips at this location!
Perfect location, clean and has all the things needed for our annual fishing trip. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Awesome time in Tuna Town USA. Speckled trout were flying in the boat. Google : Jamie Taylor Guide Service for an awesome day of fishing on the bayou.
We had family down for a fishing trip. Charters picked us up at the house! House was well maintained and had everything we needed. 2.5 baths is a huge plus as well. Would definitely rent again if we return.
The Dorado is always a great place to stay from cleanliness to boat parking to amenities. I’ve stayed multiple times here and will be my place of choice to stay again down the road.
Had an amazing stay, the owner was phenomenal to deal with, could not have been better, had some rough weather and went back and forth with owner until the captain decided we had a good enough weather window and were going to send it, we fished with Bob Hovey at LA Bluewater charters and this spot could not possibly be better located to fish with those guys as you walk right out the front door and step on there boat because that’s right where the store them, house boat had everything we needed for our stay and was cleaner and nicer then we even expected the group gave it a 10/10 and will most definitely be returning here for any trip to venice in the future regardless of size of our party
