The space
If you’ve been looking for the perfect peaceful retreat in Southeast Louisiana, you’ve found it! Close enough to both New Orleans and Baton Rouge to easily make a day trip, this property is the perfect way to explore Louisiana without staying in the big city. This is a unique, exclusive experience, as you can only access the island by golf cart or boat. Get away from it all, slow down, and detach all while enjoying the beautiful Cajun scenery of the bayou. Park your car, hop in your provided golf cart, and cross the 2 bridges over the bayou into a Cajun wonderland.
This beautiful 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath home sleeps 8, with 1 queen and 1 king bedroom plus a loft that can sleep 4 in 2 queen-size beds. The loft is accessible via a staircase that is rather steep, so please use caution. There is indoor and outdoor dining, as well as a screened porch where you can enjoy the view when weather is less than ideal. You will also enjoy access to the community pool that is only a short walk away.
Extend your experience onto the private boat dock and unwind while you enjoy the outdoor kitchen, complete with charcoal grill and wine fridge, while sipping on a drink at the bar right on the water. There is even a crows nest where you can experience bayou life to its fullest while viewing boats and wildlife from the highest point on the island.
Bring your boats and jet skis too! You can park your boat in one of two boat slips on the property and park up to 2 jet skis right off the deck. Pick up some bait from the nearby locally owned bait shop and find out why this area is known as the sportsman’s paradise. We do recommend that you have a LA fishing license. Life jackets are NOT provided, so please bring your own, use extreme caution while on the deck (especially with small children), and follow all boating and safety regulations. We are not responsible for any falls off the dock or bulkhead. Interested in boat rentals or a private boating tour of the area? We can help with that too!
If you want to venture out there are many wonderful restaurants and local attractions we will provide information for both on and off the water.
Please remember that AirBnb does not allow events or parties on their properties. Only registered guests who intend to spend the night are allowed in our home at any given time.
Guest access
You can park anywhere you would like in the gravel parking lot, except for under the covered parking. There will be a code for the golf cart and a map will be provided to help you get onto the path to the island. The bridges and paths are narrow and do not allow room for passing so please be courteous while driving.
**Please note that anyone driving the golf cart must be at least 16 years of age and have a valid driver's license. Do not operate the golf cart if you are under the influence .**
Bringing a boat or jet skis? There is a public boat launch located just off HWY 22 (about 3 miles away) at Canal Bank Club. You can load up there, drive to the boat dock and dock your boat at the cabin. Trailers are NOT allowed inside the gravel parking lot. You will need to park outside the gate on the grass or Canal Bank Club will allow you to keep your trailer there for a fee.
