An incredible location that sparked my kids’ love for fishing. The home was clean, well-stocked, and included all of the extras you could ask for. The host was very responsive and checked in after a good storm. If ever in the area again, we know where we will be staying.

Morgan was the best and very knowledgeable about the area. Although we didn't take advantage of all the amenities there were to offer there were plenty. We were just looking for a quiet place to stay while visiting Mardi Gras. This place delivered, it was peaceful and about 30 minutes from downtown New Orleans.

Thank you Mr. Darrell for being a guest at Bayou Life. I see you only gave me 4 stars for Communication. I am ALWAYS available and respond IMMEDIATELY. I love to talk to guests, tell bayou stories, and provide detailed information on everything to do. I don't ever impose or get in the way of the guests during their stay but I am very quick to respond and be there when the guests ask for or need anything. I checked our conversation and don't see where you ever tried to contact me. I sent several communications about the house and your stay but never got a response or any communications from you. Sorry you gave 4 stars for communication but you never tried to contact me even once. I was giving you and your family space to enjoy the beauty and relaxation of Bayou Life. Come on back any time. I will sit and tell you stories for hours.

Great Jean Lafitte camp

Had a great time down in Jean Lafitte with my son. 2 days of fishing with a guide that picked us up at the camp dock right outside the back door was fantastic. We did just ok fishing but that’s to be expected in March. I would definitely recommend this place

Bayou Life is the life!!!

My family and I had a wonderful 4 night stay at Bayou Life. We loved having our two dogs with us, although I would recommend booking the lower floor if you have dogs (it’s a lot of steps if they need to go out at night). The property is in a great location and very well maintained. We did a charter with Captain Chad (recommended in the property description) and had a great time! Caught 20 plus catfish from the dock. We would definitely book again if returning to the bayou!

Loved the Bayou Life

Quiet location on the bayou less than an hour south of New Orleans. We had a wonderful time. We especially enjoyed interactions with Morgan and friends, relaxing on the dock, the views, fishing expedition, crab and shrimp boil on the property, tour of the soft shell crab facility nearby, and other recommendations. We stayed in the third floor unit which was well maintained and provided everything we needed. Would definitely stay again. Loved the Bayou Life!

Thank you Kay for a lovely review. It was a pleasure to have met you and your husband. We really enjoyed boiling the crabs and shrimp caught off the dock for y'all...especially while listening to your husband play the saxophone out on the dock. I am very glad y'all were able to live and enjoy the Bayou Life!

This house, we rented both rentals-the upstairs and downstairs, for a company fishing trip. The customers loved the space. With a short drive to Joe’s landing, the guys were able to hop in one vehicle and get there with ease! We cooked burgers one night and being able to cook on the grill provided was such a great addition! Having a tv outside also made it easy for our wide range of football fans. We were able to have multiple games on at the same time! This is our second year booking and will definitely be back next year!

Very glad and happy to accommodate your large group. I always do whatever I can as fast as I can to help guests. Next trip let me line up the fishing trip. The fishing guides I coordinate with will come right to the back door dock and pick you up. No need to drive down to a marina to find the boat. The fishing guides will also clean your fish right on the dock in the backyard and give you the trimmings to use for crab bait. So convenient, easy, and a great experience. Come on back any time!

Private and Pleasant

This was an amazing small getaway that was away from the hustle and bustle. Unfortunately for us the weather wasn’t kind so we didn’t get the opportunity to fish and enjoy the nice dock it has in the back. Owners were quick to respond to any inquiries. We would definitely come back.
