New Years Getaway
From the moment we pulled up we knew we booked the best place! The house was beautiful, the property was breathtaking. Laurie was very accommodating and answered all of our questions. The house was tastefully decorated and super spotless! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals and very spacious. Our only regret was that we didn’t take advantage of the beautiful dock and the kayaks. Definitely will come back again!

WONDERFUL!
We had an amazing time! What a relaxing location this was! Laurie was an amazing host who offers all the needed amenities. We felt right at home. Perfectly located between New Orleans and Slidell we had access to anything we wanted to do while being away from it all and able to relax in the sun and breeze. My kids caught crabs off the dock and even took a fishing charter with Captain Dudley and caught so many fish we had to fly them home. Thank you, Laurie, for sharing your perfect home with us. We are busy telling all of our friends to come do the same!

This property was amazing. From the stock of supplies all the way down to fishing poles to the overall property. My sons had an amazing time fishing. They are usually “gamers” but they woke up fishing and went to bed fishing. My only wish would have been a fire pit but overall we will definitely come back.

Best VRBO ever!
From day 1 the communication was awesome. Laurie let us know what to expect as far as what was stocked, and all she provided so we didn't have to worry about stopping at the store after our long flight. Best stocked house by far. The house is beautiful, the dock and pier is where we spent a lot of time, just perfect. We happened to be there when New Orleans got hit by 2 tornados (17 miles away from us) but the storm itself was pretty intense. Laurie checked on us to make sure we were OK during the storm, I thought that was so sweet. Lots to do in New Orleans, fishing charters in Vience too. If you want to relax and just fish and crab off the dock at the house, this place is amazing. You will not be disappointed! Loved it!

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.

We stayed for a week at the property, which was well stocked with essential items such as soap and toilet paper as well as an array of fishing supplies. When we arrived, there was even a gift basket of goodies waiting for us! The location was gorgeous and we enjoyed watching the sunrise over the lake. The provided guest book with restaurant information and recommendations was also very helpful. There was excellent communication between the host and us as well. 100% would recommend staying here again!

Relaxing Vacation
The house was better than the listing description! Because of the location sitting on the back porch you really feel like you’re the only people on the lake. Everything was spotless clean and it was very relaxing to sit on the back porch and watch the sunrise over the water in the morning. My family had a great time especially my son who fished almost every day. Thanks again Laurie we look forward to staying there again.

Lovely family vacation
I cannot say enough things about this property. It is beautiful! The host was very quick to answer any questions we had and made recommendations but it turns out she even thought of those questions in the welcome book! The house is quiet and the views are spectacular. The gentle sway of the house lulls you to sleep. The wildlife was alive and well. We caught so many large size crabs and several meals worth of fish from the pier. Laurie thinks of literally everything. Show up with your groceries and you never have to leave the property. If I could give this vacation a 10 I would.

Fun Lake Experience
Our family group of 6 loved staying at Island Girl! The kitchen was well-stocked with pots/utensils and excellent for cooking. The channel was great for kayaking on windy days, which there were several of. We caught a few crabs in the traps, though fishing was slow. The lighted pier was great at night and we all enjoyed the views. Appreciated all the little extras like providing citronella candles, shrimp bait, first aid supplies, and coffee!

Wonderful house with any and all amenities!
We loved our stay here this week. The house was the perfect base for exploring New Orleans and getting in some nature time! We fished, kayaked, crabbed, and just sat by the water watching fish jump around us. The perfect weather didn’t hurt! We went into New Orleans most days to walk around, eat, take cemetery tour, and usually brought dinner home or stopped at nearby Rouse’s. Since it was Mardi Gras time we were lucky to snag a Dong Phuong king cake just up the street! House was clean, quiet, furniture was comfortable, and kitchen was well-equipped. We hope to be back very soon!!

Perfect family getaway
We loved this house and Laurie was a great host. The place was even better than anticipated (and our expectations were high due to the stellar ratings and reviews). Beds were super comfy, linens were high quality with abundant pillows and blankets, kitchen had everything we never knew we ever needed... better stocked than my home kitchen. We went grocery shopping the first night and never ventured off the property again, there was no need to. We cooked meals, played endless board games much to my grandson's delight, watched movies, went kayaking, swimming, fishing, (bug spray and sunblock were provided under the kitchen sink) made gingerbread houses, my grandson colored and made crafts with Laurie's drawer full of markers, paper, and other art supplies. It was the exact trip I was hoping to enjoy with my kids. This property hit a home run with our entire family and we will surely be back. The homeowners provided bait/shrimp, poles and tackle for fishing, there are 4 kayacks, a wonderful dock in the private canal that flows into the lake, a wrap around deck with great views where we enjoyed afternoon meals, the kitchen had all the spices we needed for gormet meals, the furniture in the family room was so cute, high quality and very comfortable, we all felt right at home. I can't think of a thing I would change. This home does not feel like a home created for rental- it feels like someone's beloved and well cared for vacation home that I had the privilage to call my own for a few days. Thanks Laurie!

This is a perfect home for a family or small group to stay in.
