Welcome to "The End of the World," and thank you for your interest in the "The Lucky Loutre." The "LL" is a freshly renovated houseboat for outdoorsmen by outdoorsmen, and is conveniently located on B Dock #45 in Venice Marina. Nestled between some of the most notorious charter captains in the world, the "LL" allows for the charter captains to pull directly up to our dock, offering our tenants an extra hour of sleep before their big adventure begins. As soon as you walk through the door of the "LL" you will notice no expense was spared on the renovation. You will be greeted by fully reclinable theater seating facing a 55" screen, where Directv is at your fingertips, as well as, NFL Sunday Ticket. Your mobil devices will immediately connect to our Hughes Net Wifi as you start to unpack your gear into our bins neatly located under each bunk, of which we have four full beds and two twins. Each full size bunk includes fresh linens and built in USB charging, while the twins offer standard plugs bedside. The "LL" offers a full size bathroom with a tankless hot water heater, so no more "last person takes an ice bath" due to a small tank running low. The twin bunk room offers a flat screen for the kiddos or use the swing mount and watch two games at once from the comfort of the theater seating (a wifi device such as a FireStick or Roku is needed for this TV, and is not provided). Once you are settled in, it's time to load the full size fridge with supplies, crack open a beverage and prep your food for the full size grill on the deck or make the short walk over to "CrawGators" in Venice Marina for dinner. After dinner, enjoy the evening on our dock from our rocking chairs before you settle in for night. Mornings are never rushed at the "LL" due to our location and morning amenities. Breakfast is easily cooked on our full size gas range/oven and a coffee bar is at your disposal, featuring both a standard coffee maker & Keurig. When the day is ready to begin either step out to the dock for your charter pick up, or hop in your own boat that's tied to our dock, but don't forget to load the coolers with ice before you leave. Our 100lb ice machine is at your disposal on the back deck, ready for you to ice your catch down. After the day is done, use one or both of our cleaning stations, we like to base it on shade to choose which one we use. Venice is a magical place and is the reason Louisiana is called the "Sportsman's Paradise," so whether you are after billfish, tuna, redfish, trout, ducks, hogs, or even flyfishing we hope you choose us for your stay.

All That We Needed

Took my dad and daughter down to Venice for a fishing trip and stayed at the Lucky Loutre. This is not a large place but it provided everything we needed for this fishing weekend. Beds were very comfortable and the lodging was as advertised. Very nice place to relax after a day on the water. The Venice Marina is an easy walk from the house and the food was exceptional. Would definitely stay here again.

5 Star Facility

5 star. A+ Outfit! This camp must belong to a hunter because it was very accommodating. We thought we were going to have to wait for hot showers which wasn’t the case…the tankless how water heater was very accommodating for 6 guys. Camp was very clean and well kept. The layout overall was 5 stars! I think we spent the majority of the time on the back deck grilling and sitting in the rockers (which was an absolute blast)! Huge thanks to the camp owner for Big Hangovers , Good times, and Great Memories! Ps. Thanks for ice machine on the back deck , that was a home run!

The place was not cleaned when we arrived 3 hrs after check in time. I did find some bedding to make up the beds but no towels. But did get ahold of them and they sent someone out the next morning. Other than that loved the stay and property was as they advertised.

Good Place

This property is conveniently located in the marina. It’s a short walk down the dock to the restaurant, bar, and marina. All of our guides knew where the houseboat was located and were able to dock right by the door. It’s a houseboat in a marina… it serves the purpose as a close, convenient place to stay. The houseboat is older, like all the others, and has some quirks. It served our group fine.

Exactly as Needed

Friend and I came into town for a day of fishing and a day to relax. The beds were comfortable, the recliners perfect and the rocking chairs on the front deck were just what we needed to unwind from our day of fishing. The location was perfect, easy to get to and the nearby restaurant was within easy walking distance.

Fantastic Houseboat

Great location and plenty of room for the family! It had everything we needed for our short fishing stay - ice machine was fabulous, fishing off the dock, crab pots, and areas to clean fish. The owners were great and made sure we had everything.

No way to communicate once there

Didn’t see the code on the one communication that was to invite other to join your invite. No phone service there and no Wi-Fi , had to drive back a mile from Venice to get enough service to check my emails to find a code to get in. Thank goodness the wife of my friend had saved the invitation cause I couldn’t contact Merritt or VRBO . Almost had to rent another property for the first night. Only one barstool if you wanted to eat at the small table.
