Private Home, Charter Fishing and Ecotourism. Only 25 miles to French Quarter.

Recently picked as the #2 "Magnificent Escapes in Louisiana"!

Only 25 miles to New Orleans' French Quarter and Bourbon Street but worlds away as you sit overlooking one of Louisiana's most famous Bayous. Bayou Barataria which once was the home of Pirate Jean Lafitte. From the pier, house patio deck, or the large yard on the bayou you can take in the beautiful views of the bayou and all that the Bayou Life has to offer.

Don't be fooled by other listings in the area that aren't even near the water or is a house crammed together with many other houses on a man made canal with only the view of houses next to, across, and behind you. This is a single family home with a private 100' waterfront on the bayou. Please check out our views and then compare it to all the others....there is no comparison. Those rentals you will not be able to see the beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the bayou....just look at the pictures of the beautiful sunrises and sunsets from this home and decide where you would rather be. This is a unique single family home with a private 100' waterfront on the real bayou. Its a very large property on the Bayou all to yourself. There is no other property in the area with as much greenspace and waterfront on the bayou. Stay on the real natural Louisiana bayou and marsh which provides the perfect setting to experience the serenity and beauty of the Bayou Life!

Our unique place provides direct access to the Bayou for fishing, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, or just relaxing. Fish and crab from the dock, keep your boat in the water ready to go, or our fishing guides can pick you up from your backdoor. Fish, crab, live the Bayou Life and be a New Orleans tourist all in the same trip!

Bayou Life Charter Fishing offers a complete fishing experience package. Our fishing guides pick you up right from the back door on the largest dock in the area. Relax, drink your coffee on the dock as the sun rises, and step straight on to the boat. We are at the end of the Lafitte/Barataria area so the boat ride to your fishing hole is that much closer. After booking contact us and we will arrange the perfect fishing and Bayou Life experience. We can also set up swamp tours, boating excursions, sunset wine cruises, and morning breakfast excursion by boat to a local restaurant on a barge. We even have unique access to a neighbors softshell crab experience not offered anywhere else. Come for a visit and we can make sure you have a unique, complete Bayou Life experience.

No other rental will provide a more complete Bayou Life experience. We provide crab traps and fishing poles complete with bait to experience catching your own dinner the Bayou Life way. With provided notice we can even bait the traps and set them out prior to your arrival so they can start catching dinner. Each rental will have 5 lbs of jumbo shrimp caught by neighboring fishermen (contact me at booking to reserve). No better way to start off livin’ the Bayou Life than with fresh local jumbo shrimp for dinner....Bayou Life lagniappe.

We provide so much more than any other rental....even a commercial ice machine for FREE ICE! The home is completely equipped with BBQ, smoker, fire pit, and patio furniture for a relaxing and enjoyable Bayou Life experience. Kitchen is completely stocked with all the pots, pans, utensils, and gadgets you could want as well as an extensive amount of spices, condiments, salad dressings, and much more so you don't have to waste time and money at the grocery store. Even has a boiling pot setup to boil up seafood. And if that wasn't enough there are kayaks, crab traps, and fishing poles for your use.

If you choose to hit Bourbon Street and do a little partying don't worry about driving....No problem getting to and from the New Orleans French Quarter....I have several Uber drivers on call and ready to take you to and from the New Orleans French Quarter or anywhere in New Orleans at any time of the day or night.

Boat may be kept during your stay in water tied to dock. Dock is equipped with ropes, cleats, and bumpers. Plenty of parking available for many cars, boats on trailers, RVs, and motorhomes.

If you have a very large group and want an additional rental please contact me. I also have a beautiful house next door that would be very convenient for a large group to all stay close together.

Great space to see New Orleans area

We stayed for 7 days. From this wonderful house we went on local airboat tour, fishing trip where we were picked up from the dock, went into New Orleans and visited plantations. It was always great come ‘home’. The space was relaxing and clean.

Everything was perfect for our double family weekend getaway! The listing already seemed like it was too good to be true, but then they still exceeded our expectations. The host was very responsive and helpful. They really thought of everything to make our stay wonderful. The only thing we would have changed was making it a longer trip. We'd definitely stay here again next time we visit the area.

Fish Haven

The house is in a great location, in a quiet neighborhood, and less than 10 minutes away from grocery shopping. Morgan is an exceptional host. He connected us with a fishing charter captain who picked us up right from the dock of which has good fishing. We will definitely make this property our go to spot in Barataria in the future.

Week of relaxation

My family and I had a great time at the house. It had everything we needed. It was our home away from home. It wasn't too far from the city and had lots of things to do in the area. I would recommend. We enjoyed our time. Host was attentive and responded to messages timely. We would go back again for another stay.

A great place on the bayou!

My oldest son wanted to come fishing for his bachelor party weekend. Although the fishing was difficult due to weather, the house was very comfortable and exactly as described. The guys tried the crab traps, fished, and kayaked in the bayou. It was comfortable for everyone to stay and enjoy some guy time together. Thank you for sharing your house with us.

Great Choice

House was peefect for our Bayou experience. House has everything you need, just bring the groceries and detergents for laundry. Beds are comfy and the house is roomy with large bedrooms. We caught tons of fish and 5 crabs(just wanted to try it). Host was awesome, he checked in with us to make sure everything was great and even gave us local shrimp which were the best we have EVER had..

Bayou Bachelor Party

Morgan was an excellent host and made this trip super enjoyable and easy. The property itself was in immaculate condition and the extra amenities (boiling pot, crab traps, fishing poles, kayaks etc) were an added bonus that made the trip easier (less to bring, more to enjoy!). When we inquired about acquiring shrimp, Morgan was quick to respond and set that up. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to relax on the Bayou!

This house is perfect and Morgan was a wonderful host. Our plan was to bring our boat for a short fishing trip, but our boat broke down right before our visit. I mentioned it to Morgan and he offered to reach out to Big Dog Charters, I'm so thankful that they were able to accommodate our group and we fished all day! We will certainly be booking again in the near future.

Quiet fishing town

The house was in a great location for fishing and within 30 minutes you could be on Bourbon Street. We loved fishing off the dock! We caught countless fish and crab and the enjoyed eating them too. The beds were comfy and having a full kitchen made cooking breakfast and fresh fish easy. We loved the grill and had a fire every night outside. We definitely used lots of mosquito/bug spray early in the morning and at dusk. The views were perfect and the owner communicated frequently. We hope to come back.

Great little Jem.

Pros-House is great. Beds, pillows, sheets comfortable. Kitchen well stocked with every tool you might need. Location is nice tucket away from busy area but close enough to get to it really quick. Host is great at answering questions or helping with suggestions in the area. Cons-while house has lots of beds there really isn’t enough glass wear or plates for large group. Also seats in main area are also not enough for large groups. Kitchen table is very high and has tall bar stools. Looks nice but not very practical.

We had 6 adults and 2 teens in town for a fishing trip. It was a wonderful stay with plenty of rooms for everyone! The teens loved the location with the dock on the water…they fished and had crab traps going the whole time. Close to the grocery store, nearby restaurants and very convenient to the local fishing guides! Highly recommend and we will definitely return

Our stay at bayou life was nothing short of amazing. The house is beautiful, roomy and a quiet location to just unwind and enjoy the simple life. The owners are great folks with many suggestions of places to eat great food and activities to explore the bayou. Fishing is top notch we filled coolers with lots of nice fish. Mr. Richard's crab farm is a must see we really enjoyed visiting him and learning what it takes to get soft crabs to the table. We will definitely be back to stay at bayou life. Thank you for sharing this incredible place with our family
