Your Waterfront Escape - 28 min to the French Quarter

This waterfront home has all you want with AMAZING sunrise and sunset views over Bayou Sauvage and Lake Pontchartrain. With a stunning oversized great room and deck, there is something for everyone.

This property was absolutely beautiful, from sunrise to sunset! Lots of seating inside & out! Seating for 10 at the beautiful wood kitchen table. Saw an alligator swimming by from the upper deck! Cozy swings downstairs, kayaks & dart board. Kitchen well stocked. The host let us check in early from our red eye flight and set up crab traps for us! Absolutely loved this stay! The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular!

About the host

Hosted by Petra Guste

Host profile image
I am a New Orleans native that loves the outdoors as much as the city. My family loves the quick trip to escape the city and enjoy our "Sportsman's Paradises", one of Louisiana's nicknames. One of my many joys is watching my children play on the water while catching fish, blue crabs or kayaking. It's so nice to see them detached. Truth be told, it is nice that I detach with them.

Why they chose this property

If you want beautiful waterfront views, with very few neighbors, this is your place. We are nestled in Bayou Savage National wildlife refuge. It is conveniently located near Lake's Pontchartrain, Saint Catherine, Borgne as well as the rigolets. A boat launch is just .5 miles away. We have connections with local fishing guides that will pick you up on the dock.

What makes this property unique

As much as we anticipate you will want to enjoy being on the water, we are conveniently 25 minutes from the French Quarter and Louisiana's famous cuisine. There are only a few places this close to the city of New Orleans. In addition to all the things you can do at the property, golf, museums, city park, shopping are near by.
