5 stars accommodations and a great host. Perfect location to visit the French Quarters or Bay St. Louis marina. The home offers you spacious accommodations, a chef’s kitchen, magnificent views of Lake Katharine and a feeling of being home. I highly recommend this home because it is Perfect for any family gathering or a quiet couple’s retreat.
The house was even better than expected. The location on the lake is beautiful and was perfect for the group of guys celebrating his bachelor trip in New Orleans. I would highly reccommend this spot for any group that is looking for a big house just outside the city.
The views from this property are spectacular! Our family really enjoyed the pool and dock. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for a large group of 10. We will definately come back!!
The house has a fabulous kitchen. Completely furnished and ready to please any cook and their helper, in preparation of a good meal.
The deck, swimming pool and dock was so much fun, and the water was beautiful!
We passed a great time at this property. Well laid out for a gathering, The pool and picnic tables were a hit. Caught fish from the pier. Parking and amenities make for a easy stress free stay. Look forward to coming back again.
I've been coming down to south Louisiana for the past 4 or 5 years with some guys I work with in Chattanooga to fish in the bayou. We have stayed in a number of houses during our visits and we all agreed this is by far the best one yet. The owner was so good to work with and made sure everything we needed we had. The place was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. We would surely stay here again and again. Thanks you .
My wife said this was the best birthday she ever had, I rented this house for my wife’s birthday and I can’t tell you enough how much fun and relaxing it was and the views were amazing especially the top bedroom with all the windows in it. Kids kayaked all day and fished most of the time. Owners are very nice and accommodating. Will be back again 5 stars
Wonderful property. House was just as it appears. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking pots/pans/dishes, etc. Area under the house was perfect for gathering as it stayed relatively cool/breezy despite the hot temps. Would love to come during a cooler month to enjoy the wrap around porches. Views of sunrise and sunsets were lovely.
This rental was perfect. The house was very clean and tidy. The pier was great. We used the kayaks and they were so much fun! I wish the pool was heated but it isn’t advertised that it is so that’s ok. The kitchen is a cooks dream! It was a perfect quiet destination, but right around the corner from all the fun and partying! I will definitely be booking this rental again. It was just perfect for us.
My friends from college and I wanted to do a reunion trip and chose New Orleans as our destination. We originally were looking for something in or around the French Quarter, but decided that was going to be too noisy and chaotic. So we found this listing about 45 minutes outside of downtown and had an amazing time fishing off the dock, hanging out in the pool and just reconnecting. Really recommend this if you want something outside of the hustle and bustle of downtown with awesome views of the lake.

THERE WERE ALSO MANY TRIP HAZARDS IN HOME AND ON STEPS , LOOSE STEPS, CRACKED STEPS. RUGS ROLLED IN CORNERS . ALONG WITH THE ROACHES IN THE POOL.
My family really enjoyed this property, the views are amazing. I had to reach out to Katherine a few times regarding random things and she was super quick to respond. The property itself is perfect for a large family with plenty of sleeping configurations and was great for the handicap members. The elevator is handy but a little unnerving at first however it appears this style of lift is the way it is done at other houses as well. I wish the pool was heated and that the weather had been nice enough to enjoy the outdoors more but mother nature has her own plans. The kitchen was fantastic. Overall I would definitely come back when it warms up to enjoy this property.

Not what it seems- stay elsewhere
Stayed 28th to 31st. Couldn’t get in property and had to wait 30 minutes.
No toiletries as advertised.
Provided 2 roll of the tiniest paper towels for 10 guests.
Provided 3 rolls of toilet paper for 10 guests.
No dish soap or dishwasher soap but checkout instructions says clean dishes in dishwasher and put away.
Dirty pool, water level below jets, and brown (main reason we booked this location). Not usable.
4 of us fell on the ground using the chairs around dining table because they were broken but left to use.
Water In Showers and sink were slimey, half the group didn’t shower and had to use a friends hotels shower
Had to battle a multiple large cockroaches coming out of the dishwasher every night.
Pretty view
Stay elsewhere

Response from VrboOwner on 12 November 2022
Hi Ashley, the homeowners were surprised to read your review, as they are accustomed to providing 5-star experiences and would like to clarify the following:
- Our goal is to ensure all our guests have an enjoyable stay. We wish you had reached out if you had any questions or concerns so we could've provided immediate assistance
- We gladly accommodated your request to check in early. However, since you arrived 10 minutes before the requested time, the code wasn't ready
- As is standard for vacation rentals, we provide a starter set of supplies for our guests' convenience, but once those supplies run out, guests must purchase their own
- We do have dish soap and dishwasher pods. We wish you had reached out to us if you needed assistance finding these items
- We spoke with the pool company, and they confirmed the water level was slightly low. We apologize for the inconvenience. However, it appears well water was added during your visit, which may have made the water appear murky until the filter cleared it up
- We were not aware of any broken chairs before your stay, and we will get these replaced
- We have a reverse osmosis water filtration system for the entire home. Our home is supplied with the cleanest water around
- Due to the home's location, insects can be prevalent if doors and windows are left open. That said, we will share your concerns with our pest control company to ensure the home remains insect free
Thanks for your valuable feedback as we continue to offer 5-star stays to all our guests!

Great gathering place
Thank you to Katherine and her family for opening their home to us which allowed my family to enjoy my moms 60th birthday together! It’s not only a beautiful home with an amazing view but close enough to town to really enjoy New Orleans without being right in the city and all its…flavor at night. Felt very safe and comfortable at Pelican Perch.
Katherine was really helpful giving us a lot of great suggestions of places to eat, see and enjoy while we’re in town. Incredible communication along the way and helped us when we had flight delays. Definitely will be back to celebrate and make more memories!

Beautiful property. Close to everything in New Orleans but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. The entire family says this is their favorite place to stay in the area.
We had a wonderful visit! The house is just as described online. Only better - the peacefulness and beauty of the lake are bonuses. We were close enough to get the flavor and fun of NOLA and could come home to the peace and beauty at the house. The porch, pool and pier provided more social spaces for our group of sisters and cousins to visit!
Beautiful property that was everything we wanted for a birthday bash in NOLA.
The location is a little far from downtown so finding an Uber can be challenging, but the views and relaxing atmosphere all but make up for it. Would definitely stay again!
