Cissie by the Sea 2.0 - Newly Remodeled w/Best Wharf at Hebert's Landing!

Cissie by the Sea welcomes you to Big Lake, Louisiana!

A recent guest called our camp a "diamond" and we hope you'll agree! Bring the family to enjoy great fishing and beautiful sunsets at this two bedroom, two bath cottage at Big Lake. This camp has one of the best wharfs in the region, featuring a boat slip, fish cleaning station, two LED fishing lights, and an incredible upper deck where you can enjoy beautiful views and get your tan on. "Cissie by the Sea" sleeps up to eight people and offers great space for entertaining. The screened in porch offers additional seating and dining table. Just 20 minutes from Lake Charles, you'll feel like you've escaped to another world not far from the Creole Nature Trail.

There are two trundle beds in one bedroom (sleeps 4) and twin beds in the 2nd bedroom. The queen sofa bed sleeps two.

Weber charcoal grill, automatic coffee pot (sweetners provided) and lots of kitchen amenities will help you enjoy your relaxing time on the lake. Enjoy our board games, kayaks and a paddle board available, too!

We are proud to welcome you to Cissie by the Sea, which is fully remodeled after Hurricanes Laura and Delta in 2020. We are back and ready to have some fun, so come be a part of our new chapter! The camp gets its name from local legend Cissie McLeod, who also happened to be our mother. We aim to provide a place your whole family can enjoy, just as ours has for decades! Fish on!

Great vacation rental

We had a great time and the rental is exactly as described. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and bake and the dock is lit at night so makes for fun night fishing.

Big Lake stay at Cissie

Nice camp right on the water. Beautiful dock and sun/sunset deck, screened porch, well-equipped kitchen and living area. Booked a fishing trip out of Heberts Landing, a short walk away, so convenient.

Great Place to Stay

Very spacious and clean property. My buddies and I go on a fishing trip every summer, and although this year was a mostly a bust because of no tidal movement in Big Lake, we still had a very relaxing and comfortable trip. Amenities were all there, including large back deck and very nice pier.

Sisters Trip

We loved staying at this quaint, waterfront cottage. The single beds were nice as we didn’t have to share beds. There were plenty of linens, blankets, towels, and toiletries. We enjoyed the large kitchen and appreciated having all the cookware and dishes available. And sunsets were the absolute best on the screened in porch

Visor By The Sea

Everything was very neat and clean, as usual (we’ve stayed several times before). Newly remodeled kitchen very nice and convenient with everything you need if you want to cook. Large island (in kitchen) and filled with cooking implements of every kind. Large frig and convenient stove and sink with many windows to see outside and over the lake. New window coverings for more privacy are nice. Large dining area and comfortable seating in living area. Huge screened in porch with lots of light and fans for circulation. Plenty seating with tables and nets and a kayak. Beautiful view of the lake and very peaceful sunsets. Having a boat would be great. Nice neighborhood if you like to walk or ride a bike. We could not get the TV to work for regular programming. There was a remote that came with the TV, and we tried to work it to get the news, but maybe you need a universal remote for that and regular programming. Thank you for having us. This is a very relaxing setting.

The perfect Staycation

We are from Lake Charles and chose to do a staycation this year with a new baby! This camp was the perfect place for our little family. We enjoyed hanging out and cooking in the yard near the water while the kids played, night fishing off the dock, fishing in Big Lake, and cooling off inside while still having the perfect view of the lake! We hope to make our staycation a tradition!

Great location

My son and I had a great stay at this property. It is very clean and well equipped. The lighted pier is very well constructed, convenient and a perfect fishing platform. Unfortunately, when we were there the fish were not biting, but we had fun regardless.

Stay Cissie by the Sea

We enjoyed our stay at the Cissie by the sea this past weekend 5/16-5/18. Everything stated in the listing is correct. the property was perfect for what we needed and wanted. Our only downfall was, there was no bait shop close by (Not Sara's fault). Make sure you get your live shrimp prior to arriving. The fishing was on fire even with Frozen shrimp and artificial. We will be back for future stays.

Weekend Stay

The house and property are well kept and clean. It has a nice pier that extends out into Calcasieu Lake. The pier has electricity, running water, and lights that can be turned on to fish at night. Both the kids and adults enjoyed a relaxing weekend on Calcasieu Lake and near by areas.

Wonderful Spring Break

Thank you so much for sharing your fishing cabin with our family. It was so nostalgic like being back on the bayou of our childhood. We really enjoyed fishing and crabbing off the awesome pier. Unfortunately, the weather was uncooperative for boating, but we didn't mind. My favorite time was prepping dinner while watching perfect sunsets on the back porch. We will definitely be booking again soon for summer!
