I did a retreat just for myself. I just hung out by the pool most of the days relaxing which was great! I enjoyed the scenery of Bayou Teche that was the back drop of their yard. It was absolutely beautiful and very peaceful. Robbie and Bryan were great host easy to communicate with and Robbie's blueberry scones are fabulous! Love my room the decor and set up was very comfortable. The bathroom was your very own personal spa! Just what I needed. Thank You Robbie and Bryan for sharing your home and making me feel as a part of it was my own home for the weekend!

I can’t say enough good things about this beautiful property or the hosts. We really had the best stay. The bed was comfy, the room was just right for our family of three, and we had a great afternoon in the pool. Robbie and her husband are excellent hosts. We will definitely return if we are in the area.

Birthday Getaway

Mrs. Robbie and Mr. Bryan were phenomenal host! This was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast and they definitely showed us southern hospitality. Breakfast was off the charts both mornings we were there. We love the outdoors and being on the bayou so this was right up our alley! We will definitely be booking again.

Perfect birthday getaway

I picked this location for a few reasons. 1, it was close to the places I wanted to go for my birthday. 2, the safety factor of the owners being next door in case I needed anything. 3, they really try to make you feel special and the money worth spending. They told me where to get food and made me breakfast the next morning 10/10

Booking

My very first booking with Vrbo, mix up with the advertising on web owner claimed the site was copied “scammed” after much confusion only some of my money was refunded. After trying to get a final understanding of the mix up the owner told me to not call her again and hung up on me. The owners seemed very friendly at the time, but if you call and question her action she gets very bitter and rude.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 December 2022
She has define problems with never being happy renting from us. VRBO placed our other unit open when we were renovating it (I did not) when talking to her about it I offered to give her a nicer unit. She refused then unknowingly booked that nicer unit anyway. She then proceeded to make a complaint to VRBO about the situation even after I offered her another room and when she booked the other room independently offered to correct the issue once she was here but she put in the complaint prior so I had to reimburse through VRBO. VRBO would only let me reimburse my commissable amount. VRBO kept their commission (which was not my doing) She continued to call me over and over (4 x) for the $30.00 VRBO kept instead of addressing the issue to them. Then she gives ME the bad review after we were very nice to them. Offered to give them the nicer more expensive room for the same price (that she refused). She was very demanding that I needed to correct the situation when I could not. Thank you so much Denise for the nice review!!

Rental not as advertised. NOT RECOMMENDED!

I was in town visiting my family and I booked this VRBO so that I could have a place where I could visit them. The good: The location was beautiful—pool area overlooking Bayou Teche. Landscaping was beautifully done. Room was nicely decorated with minimal clutter. The bad: The rental was not what I had expected—it was listed as “Side House”, but it was actually just a bedroom with a small hallway that was separated from the owners’ living space by a sliding barn-style door. Although there were no other guests on the property, there was little privacy—I could hear host talking and their TV, not to mention the dogs barking, while in the bedroom itself. The host frequently appeared poolside-patio area with us, watering down the cement or blowing leaves with the blower while my mom and kids were trying to visit. The ugly: I tried to talk to the host about the rental maybe just not being the right fit for my needs, possibly chalk it up to miscommunication, and that’s when she became irate. It was very, very uncomfortable and I felt vulnerable with my two young kids there. I left immediately, after only two nights. Host made no attempt to work anything out and I was charged for the entire 6 nights that I booked. It should be noted that there were changes to the rental description regarding “events” shortly after or possibly even during my reservation. I had been looking forward to visiting with my family that we have not been able to see for the last 2 years and this almost ruined our whole trip. Two weeks after my stay, the owner accused me of a taking a bag from the rental. I have no idea what she is talking about. Do not stay here!

Response from VrboOwner on 20 July 2021
The information above is incorrect. She showed up with her 2 children and her Mother. She allowed her mother to spend the night without paying for her then her mother stayed a second night. She approached us crying that her daughter was sick (well she's not sick now) but I would like my brother and his family to come over and have dinner in the courtyard patio after her mother had stayed there two night free. We stated they could visit in the unit but that was not what she wanted. We are clear on our descriptions about the property. The square footage in her unit was 750 square feet. We include breakfast on the patio which we offered to her mother as well even though she did not pay. We were not unkind to her in any way.

Wonderful weekend getaway with wonderful hosts

I can't say enough about this property and the owners. The property was beautiful, in the middle of Breaux Bridge near restaurants and shopping, but secluded at the dead end of a street. The owners will try to accommodate your every desire. If you are going for a special occasion, let them know and they may have ideas on how to make it even more special for you. There is definitely a return visit in my future.
