About this property

You can do the big city all day and then relax in the peace and quiet of the Bayou without the crowds. Sun yourself on the upper deck, hang out on the bottom patio with the water view, make drinks at the custom cypress bar, go boating, boil seafood, BBQ or what ever you want. All without crowds or people getting in your space... Perfect for visiting New Orleans and the French Quarter, just 25 minutes down I-10 and you are there! Then come back to the peaceful retreat of the serenity of the waterfront location. This little piece of paradise invites the whole family! A fully furnished 3 bedroom, 2.5-bath home located on the Rigolets between Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne. Rustic hard wood floors with an eclectic mix of antiques and charming art, including beautiful wrought iron balcony fencing from historic New Orleans.

Locally owned and operated, this light and airy camp is a perfect home away from home for family, friends, and couples. Dock your boat and/or jet skis for easy access to fishing and water sports. We have room for 2 - 24 ft boats. There is a fish cleaning table for your use. There is even a 14K Lumin fishing light for night fishing off the pier! A full service marina with live bait and launch just down the road complete this nautical ambiance for the avid or casual fisherman. Trout, Redfish, and Bass galore, with plenty of space to clean and a full size kitchen to cook your next masterpiece. Want a fishing charter? Capt. Kenny Kreeger is one of the best fishing guides in the area and lives right next door. Charter with him and get a few minutes of extra sleep before he puts you on the fish. Just step right on his boat from our dock and go catch them! Additional amenities include parking for up to 4 cars, a spacious party deck, full size dishwasher, cable TV, and indoor/outdoor bars/seating areas. All linens will be provided.

Tri generational vacation

Wonderful location and host! Easy to get to everything we wanted to do: New Orleans, the beach, fishing. It was wonderful to be on the water! There were 8 of us, from 3 generations and the house was large enough for us to spread out and sleep!

Perfect Vacation!

Everything about this property was what we'd expected, and then some. Great location for the activities we'd had planned--swamp tour, Bay St. Louis beach, shark fishing out of Biloxi, MS, and numerous other things, including catching crabs for a crab boil. Butler Ball is a great host, reaching out to see if there was anything we needed, or what he could do to make our trip more fun. I would give this property a 10 star rating if I could.

Perfect getaway for our family of 7

Awesome get away! It rained a couple times but the area under the house was perfect for that. Caught some crabs off the dock. The house is close enough to the city for an easy day trip. My kids range from 8-17 yrs and all had a great time.

Wonderful stay!

It was great! We loved the views and the place was perfect for our family. The neighbor, Sue, was so sweet. The owners left us a note and made homemade pecan pie for us which I absolutely loved. The location provided a peaceful setting on the water while still allowed easy access to New Orleans. All of the special touches were so thoughtful! Thank you!

We enjoyed a WONDERFUL weekend getaway at the camp!! EVERYTHING was so CLEAN, comfortable, and roomy!! The deck was the PERFECT spot to sit and relax while allowing us to remain ‘socially distant’ for hours!! Great views!! Butler was very thoughtful and squeezed us in on short notice. We will definitely be back!! Can’t wait!! Thank you for giving us a break from these crazy times!!

System that allowed us to come and go and do AS please through the entire duration of Mardi Gras

We absolutely loved having the fireplace indoor as well as the full kitchen. It was very convenient for soaps and towels, and things like that to be part of the VRBO so that none of those items had to be purchased. We did find ourselves purchasing minimal things and left them for future users of this VRBO all at all, this was fantastic. The only concern that I would suggest is we tried to extend one more day through the property manager, but by the time we heard from the property manager, we had to already have been checked out of the property. Maybe our lack of use of the system, but would have been nice if property manager was able to respond quicker for us. The two other responses we had from him were excellent and quick .

Perfect in every way

This place was absolutely perfect for my wife, my son and I. Since it was my son's first trip to my hometown, we did the tourist thing in New Orleans several days and could see the sights and be back to the camp in no time. Very easy drive to the quarter, the Fairgrounds and anywhere else we wanted to go. The property itself was exactly what we were looking for and we enjoyed our afternoons at the dock. We boiled crawfish with the camps pot, cooked on the grill and for the most part, ate all our breakfast and dinners on the dock. The firepit was a great touch since it was a little chilly the first couple of nights. The ice o matic at the downstairs bar was also a great addition. My son caught several keeper redfish, some nice catfish and a couple of black drum bigger than him. The bedrooms were very comfy. We made friends with the neighbors and felt welcomed. We didn't need anything during our visit, but the owner checked on is and I know would have jumped right on it if we did need something. We would definitely stay here again, and now that the sightseeing is out of the way we'll definitely be bringing our boat. Although Captain Kenny next door would have been happy to take us fishing. We enjoyed talking with him and he catches fish. Great place, great stay, absolutely 10/10.

almost happy

The house it's self is nice and open and a great location. First impression was wonderful. But unfortunately as you come in and attempt to put your "stuff" away I was so disappointed to find it was in dire need of a good cleaning. And I'm not just talking about the surfaces and floors, the bathroom draws were nasty ( I couldn't unpack my stuff) the stand up shower and tub were also pretty bad. I wanted to wear flip flops in the shower and that's never good. The kitchen utensils needed to be washed before you could use anything. I think if this house got a serious professional cleaning it would have been great. The other things you can over look. Also we thought for 2 days we didn't have hot water in the upstairs bathroom but my son showed up and figured out the hot water under the sink had been turned off. We found out for good reason, it would leak if you left it on. It's got a nice cozy feel to the house and the location and outdoor setting is perfect so I hate to not give it more stars. But it needs a professional deep cleaning and I'd give it 5 stars.

Relaxing vacation space

We really enjoyed our time at this property. We stayed in March so the weather was iffy- definitely recommend staying when it's warmer because there is so much to enjoy outside! We loved eating dinner on the upstairs deck, relaxing on the hammock, taking out the canoe, and hanging out by the bar. The indoor space is nice too, with a lot of natural lighting. The jacuzzi tub in the master is relaxing! We enjoyed a fire in the fireplace as well. Overall a great place and we would stay again.

Fantastic property and location

We had a great experience at this house. I’d highly recommend for anyone including families. The kids bedroom can sleep up to 4 and my oldest daughter loved the loft area. We really enjoyed sunsets from the living room and upper deck. Location was perfect for us. Got out of the city each day but an easy drive back each day. It’s in a great position to get to nearby MS beaches too.

One of the absolute best vacations!

We were wanting a week of fishing and relaxation and that’s exactly what we had. Butler has a beautiful piece of paradise! His home is not only nice and cozy but set up for just about anything you want to do. We fished, crabbed, and got to know Captain Ken next door who we did a charter with. We fried fish and boiled crabs. Thanks to Capt Ken, we’re coming home with a lot of fish. Definitely a vacation to remember. Thanks, Butler, for opening up your home to us.

About the host

Hosted by Butler Ball

I am a native New Orleanian, this is my sixth camp and definitely the best one I have ever owned. I love fishing and water sports but my wife loves cooking, good food and family time. This "camp" gives us and you the best of both of those worlds. It is really not a "camp" but in this area even million dollar waterfront homes are called camps if you use them on the week-end.

I have owned 6 "camps" but this one is the best ever!

Why they chose this property

This one has it all. Fishing, water sports, crabbing and just relaxing with a water front view. You are only 25 minutes from New Orleans so anything you want to do there is a quick car ride away but you can retreat back to the peace and quiet of the Bayou!

What makes this property unique

Night fishing light on the pier, in fall and winter you can catch right off the dock. If you know how to throw a cast net you can even catch your own live shrimp off the pier!
