You don’t need to fish or hunt, just enjoy the sound of the waves crashing on the sea walls, the seagulls flying and the magnificent sunsets from the 400 square feet front porch!

Walking distance to the Chapel of the Holy Spirit- so it would be a great place for a retreat. This house is 15 feet above sea-level so step accessible but not wheelchair accessible.

Such kind and accommodating hosts.the home was super nice, with spacious rooms and amenities. Every kind of pot, plate, utensil, gas grill and burner. Scenery along with the level of solitude are unmatched. Camp neighbors are very friendly, helpful, and inviting. I can not speak more highly of the hosts, camp, neighbors, fishing, hunting, 20 minutes to any level of entertainment you desire from the city.

Louisiana Getaway

This Old Settlement Home was a great getaway for my kids and grandkids. The views were beautiful from the porch and the pier. The home was very comfortable with plenty of space for more than one family. The owners stocked this rental with everything you need for a good time on the water. One of the best homes we have stayed in.

Fine place to stay

Probably the best equipped place we’ve ever stayed at. Hosts checked on us several times via text and when I texted they responded immediately. Very nice home and furnishings. Again very well equipped and very comfortable. The only thing that wasn’t there was a dining table indoors. There was a table for 4 on the front porch that worked well for our group. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay if you want to relax. I give it 5 stars because the site won’t let me give it 10 stars.

The Settlement-Annual Family Easter Event

Everything that we needed, and everything that owner provided, made for a very special Easter for our family. Warm Cookies and cold milk awaited our arrival from owner. Their residence offered all the amenities needed and was set in an spectacular position (facing the water); certainly not a fishing-camp atmosphere. However, we did know several of local guides that put us onto sufficient fish in the immediate body of water to feed (plus some)12 guests. We will definitely book at another time of year; looking forward to a Fall trip when we can invite some close friends in our network (Houston) who would greatly appreciate the owner's offering. Note: small Episcopal church located in walking distance from the owner's location that is available to worship from Easter to Labor Day.

Place of Respite

We were in Lake Charles for a family funeral and wanted a place where we could stay together as a family. Mary and Brian's place provided that and so much more. This home gave us a place to relax in beautiful surroundings. We loved it from the time we drove in! A beautiful porch with amazing water views. A woodburning fireplace that we used every night and a few mornings. (You don't get a fireplace with a gorgeous water view very often!) A fully stocked kitchen, including the coffee! Plenty of space for us to play games upstairs or to spread out and have our quiet moments of solitude. Comfy beds. Three full bathrooms. Honestly, we hated to leave! Communication with hosts were quick, efficient and welcoming from the beginning to the end! We would all highly recommend and I hope to find an excuse to book again in the near future!
