The owner Carson was great! Very helpful with accommodations from the start to the end of our stay. This is a very peaceful area on the river. Great neighbors as well as great friends of Carsons that we had the pleasure of meeting. The apartment was clean, very accessible and private. We look forward to going again!
Owners were very responsive and friendly. Place was very clean and had a great location.

Great place to sleep
Location was ok. Really not much to do unless you have boat. The living quarters was so cute. The only thing I would change is the entry way. You definitely have to give it a hip check to open. The recommendation I have for the owner would be to fix entry door, include a guest book that tells you how to get onto internet,tv connection and check out procedures and some activities in the area. The owner did communicate quickly but without cell service I had to leave premises down the road awhile then I could ask questions about WiFi and places to eat. Awesome recommendations and finally got password for internet. Guest book would fix most issues. Didn’t see anything on what to do for checkout but I just cleaned all dishes , stripped bed, gathered garbage, set temp to 77 and put all dirty towels and linen in bathroom. Hopefully this is what you’re supposed to do. Also the internet is spotty around 6pm. Had issues connecting and staying connected during peak times.
Place was great, looked like a postcard. Looking forward
to my next trip there. Very relaxing place to cook on the bayou side. Not just for the area but the people around the area are great. Thanks for everything.

The post on VRBO is deceiving. They show the riverfront side of the house/apartment, so when you pull up you're not sure if you are at the right place. Upon getting into the apartment, the air wasn't even turned on and it was 79 degrees in the efficiency. We thought we would be able to cook our dinner, but no stove. There was a microwave, but we did not bring food that we had to warm up or tear open a frozen meal. And even if we did bring a frozen meal, there were NO utensils to eat anything with, except 3 plastic knives that you would get at Wendy's. There were no welcome instructions whatsoever or any information on using the WIFI. We decided to go down to the river to sit, but the chairs were so dirty that we had to clean them first just to sit down. A man came out on the porch of the main house, yes you share the same property with owner, and he was talking rather loud. When we approached him I asked if was the host and he said yes. We mentioned that we were disappointed in the arrangements and no way to cook a meal, he said most people go out to eat (which is about an hour drive to town). He did not seem, or try, to come up with a resolution to the situation. He did mention that all we had to do was ask him for utensils and WIFI instructions. After driving 8 hours, why should we have to go find him and ask him for this stuff? We ended up leaving after being there for 1 hour and drive back home, after already driving for 8 hours. Very disappointing experience!
It was a great experience,very relaxing. The loft over the garage was very cozy, clean and comfortable. Access in and out the place was not a problem. The host was very nice, very accommodating and ensured we were good. We were able to fish from the deck, the neighbors were very friendly and helpful with seating arrangements and the fish we caught. We were very pleased and would go back.
