The house was nice and big but it was not very clean. The freezer was very dirty and gross. All of the ceiling fans had mounds of dust on them. The ceilings had black dust on them. All of the shelves in the living room needed dusting. There dead bugs in some kind of wax filled glasses used for decor. The floors really needed a good mopping. There were no trash cans in the bathrooms (I searched). The deck was beautiful, the house was spacious. Beds and baths were mostly clean (1 shower had bugs and stains). I just recommend a professional clean before guests arrive.

Hi Jennifer, we’re glad you enjoyed the spacious layout and beautiful deck, but we’re sorry to hear that the cleanliness didn’t meet your expectations. After sharing your feedback with the homeowner, they wanted to address the following:
- We have very high standards and strive to provide our guests with a great guest experience. I cleaned the property myself in preparation of your stay and apologize for any oversights.
- The freezer is regularly cleaned, but a tin foil liner is used to help manage ice buildup. We will explore options to keep it looking as spotless as possible.
- After hearing your feedback we have since added trash cans to each bathroom for guest convenience.
- Additionally, we are reviewing the cleaning routine to ensure dust on fans, shelves, and ceilings is thoroughly addressed before each stay, and they’ll be looking into a professional deep clean to tackle any overlooked areas.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’re committed to helping the homeowner make improvements for a cleaner and more comfortable experience in the future!
The house is in a nice location, best dir crabbing. Bottom level is old but we don’t really care because we don’t even use it. Inside the house is spacious for our needs, just need some dusting on ceiling fans and restroom vent fans. Mattress needs to be replaced bc it stumped in the middle. Other than that, we enjoy the house. My kids enjoy the bunk beds. Master bedroom is huge. The freezer is huge, exactly what we want it. Overall, 5 star

We come to Louisiana to fish often and of all of the houses we have rented, this is by far our favorite! Looking forward to our next trip, we will be staying here again!
This listing is very misleading. The dock is not private. There is another rental on the property that has full access to the dock as well.
We showed up to another group having a party on what I understood we had full access to. The owner basically rents one dock to two groups at once.

Hi Chris, the right vacation home is everything, and we're sorry to hear this property didn’t meet your expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they’d like to share the following:
- The listing currently mentions that there is another rental on the property, and on some occasions, other guests may be present during your stay. That said, we will review the listing to see if we can make this more clear.
Thanks for letting us know about your stay!
The home is large and had plenty of space for our family to spread out. The home is right on the water and has lovely views early in the morning. Would be nice to have some outdoor furniture to sit out and enjoy the sunrise.
The kitchen has the basics: dishes, silverware, pots and pans, dishwasher, cups, coffee maker, etc. It was missing trash bags though. Through no fault of the owner, the water coming out of the faucet is less than ideal. I recommend picking up bottled water on your way in.
There were plenty of towels for both bathrooms, and the water was nice and hot for showers.
The house is functional, comfortable, and roomy. A great place to gather after a busy day in NOLA.
