I hate to say how wonderful this place is because everyone will want to stay at this gem of a place. It is beautiful on the bayou and with a dock to watch sea life. It is well appointed with most everything you need. The owners are thoughtful and quick to reply to anything you might need. We rate it A plus plus.

Lovely Stay

We spent 4 days here. Loved having morning coffee on the dock! The nearby park around the lake was a lovely walk. We were able to walk to dinner at Rusty Bellies, a wonderful restaurant with water views. The beach is just a short drive away and the pastries downtown are not to be missed!
