A Peaceful Oasis with a Spectacular Hand-Painted Swamp Mural, Thoughtful Hosts, and the Perfect Loca

absolutely loved our stay at Blue Bayou! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were very comfortable, and we especially enjoyed relaxing on the porch in the evenings. One of the most spectacular features was the hallway and stairway leading to the master bedroom, painted by the hostess herself. The walls are adorned with a vivid swamp-life scene — complete with birds, fish, frogs, eagles, and lush plant life — that truly captures the charm and beauty of the region. The location is fantastic — close enough to New Orleans to enjoy all the restaurants, music, and nightlife, yet far enough away to unwind in a quiet, peaceful setting. Parking was secure, free, and conveniently located right by the home. Our hosts were friendly, kind, and genuinely thoughtful. They even welcomed us with homemade jam they had made themselves — such a sweet surprise! Their flower gardens were picturesque, full of vibrant colors and charm that made the property feel like a hidden oasis. As a special personal gesture, the host went out of his way to make our trip extra memorable. Knowing we were interested in crabbing, he offered to set his traps a day before we arrived and later took us out on his boat to collect them. We were able to take home fresh crabs — an unexpected highlight we’ll never forget. we left feeling completely refreshed. We’d gladly stay here here again!

Very cute and comfy

This is a very cute house in the bayou. It fit our group of four very comfortably. Tons of space for a group to spread out inside. Around the outside, there are a few beautiful flower gardens, and plenty of places to sit. The host Randal was always available via text, which I really appreciate. Thank you for the lovely stay.

Big holiday house with fishing pier, and great views over the bayou and the beautiful sky above. Clean, calm, perfect to relax - and the owners, Tee and Randal, are so neat and helpful. Thank you so much!! We went to New Orleans, Oak Alley and for a Swamp Tour with Zams Swamp Tours, petting Alligators - unforgetable 😀

Accommodating & Restful

We felt safe in the location and did not feel an overwhelming desire to lock the doors. The layout of the home allowed any of the five guest to gather as a group or to have privacy when desired. It was easily assessable to New Orleans and other areas of interest. The house was well stocked with towels and linens, soaps and lotion, trash bags, coffee and even a welcoming gift of homemade pralines, On Christmas day she also gave us a basket of home-grown tomatoes and a jar of pepper jelly. they also allowed us to pick the oranges from the orange tree in the yard and take them home as a parting gift. Of all the properties we have rented these owners were the first we had ever met. They are friendly, readily available if we needed anything and were on target with suggesting a restaurant, giving excellent directions. We had an enjoyable stay and would not hesitate to stay again.

This was the most welcoming host we have ever had. It honestly felt like we were part of their family from the moment we arrived. They were there to greet us at the door, which is something that we have not experienced with any other location we have book through Vrbo before. House was very clean, DOG FRIENDLY IS A HUG PLUS!
