Perfect location, clean and has all the things needed for our annual fishing trip. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Awesome time in Tuna Town USA. Speckled trout were flying in the boat. Google : Jamie Taylor Guide Service for an awesome day of fishing on the bayou.

Great location and exactly as described

We had a great time and the captain’s picked us up off the back porch. House was clean and had a good layout. We would definitely rent again. I have rented a lot of places through VRBO and the owner interactions were the best I’ve had .
