Gorgeous Lakefront Home: Private Pier, Boathouse, Kayaks - Fish From the Dock!

Our 1-acre lakefront location is the showstopper that makes Island Girl the perfect vacay getaway. This gorgeous, pet-friendly home features fantastic outdoor living areas, a spacious interior, a private canal, pier & boathouse, and direct Lake Catherine access. Beautifully styled + equipped with kayaks, fishing & crabbing gear, the property is ideal for families or friends traveling together. Step in, drop your luggage, and be on the water in under 5 minutes–it doesn’t get any better than this!

Island Girl is a beautiful lakefront home just 30minutes from the heart of New Orleans that comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests. The residence boasts a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances and convenient bar seating that seamlessly transitions to the dining and living areas. Guests will love this social space’s hardwood floors and large windows that take full advantage of the breathtaking lake views. French doors offer quick access to the home’s wrap-around deck where there is a dining table, gas grill, and more of those amazing Lake Catherine views.

Down the hall, each of our 3 bedrooms is impeccably styled with soothing, modern finishes that immediately relax the senses, sleeping configurations as follows:

Bedroom 1 – King bed
Bedroom 2 – Queen bed
Bedroom 3 – Two twin beds

The home’s 2 full bathrooms are modern and bright with shower/tub combos that make bathing the kiddos after a day on the lake a breeze.

Outdoor living is unparalleled at Island Girl with Lake Catherine as your backyard and endless views for scenery! In addition to the upper wrap around deck, the lower-level houses private parking, a picnic table, and all the gear you need for enjoying the lake including 4 kayaks, life jackets, fishing poles, and crab traps. When it’s time to get out on the water, simply launch the kayaks directly from our shoreline into the private canal or walk down our dock to the boathouse for fishing and crabbing in the shade.

Bringing your own boat? Easy – launch it at Island Marina just down the road then drive along the shoreline to our boathouse where you can tie off. And they don’t call this area fisherman’s paradise for nothing! We also have great recommendations for local, professional fishing guides to maximize your sporting time on the water. Be sure to inquire if you are interested.

Staying at Island Girl provides the best of both worlds with a location just 25 minutes from New Orleans and 30 minutes to the MS Gulf Coast. Spend the days/nights enjoying the parties, parades and casinos then head to Island Girl for a relaxing and quiet stay away from the excitement.

Additional Amenity Highlights Include:
- Complimentary unlimited Wi-Fi
- 4 TVs throughout the home
- Dedicated workspace
- Boiling pot
- Comprehensive housewares package + Keurig coffee machine
- Fresh linens and towels for every guest
- Full-size washer and dryer

Traveling with a larger group and need more space? We have a nearly identical 3-BD/2-BA home just down the street – ask us about renting both units!

Pet welcome with pre approval and $100.00 pet fee.

We couldn’t have asked for anything better. We did several excursions to check out local attractions but could have stayed on the property and been just as happy. Between fishing, kayaking and relaxing on the dock we were able to relax and enjoy the company.

Calm and Peaceful Views

We spent thanksgiving at the house, and completely enjoyed ourselves. The house was very well decorated and appointed. The deck and pier were favorites where we talked and gazed out into the lake, taking in beautiful scenery and sunsets. Close to New Orleans and Slidel, but far enough away for peace and quiet.
