The view is amazing, overlooking the canal and then a low-lying undeveloped peninsula of natural shoreline between you and Graveline Bay, a truly peaceful and scenic perspective that will melt away any worries as you watch birds, dolphins and boats. The house is a remodeled beach house built int 1990. It has modern kitchen appliances, new and comfortable bedroom furniture and an open living and dining space, overlooking the bay.

Great location, clean home
We had a nice relaxing stay at Blue Bayou. We found the house clean and had lots of towels. Even though it rained a lot every day we were there, watching it rain from the well-furnished porch was wonderful. There were a couple of things that kept this from being a 5 star for me. The couch was too low for an older person and was really hard to get up from, and I think adding a recliner would help with that. There were a lot of birds nesting in the parking area under the house with piles of poop underneath the nests, so I didn’t park under there. All in all, I would rent this home again.

It was a great place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful weather, views and atmosphere.
Nadia B. says
Blue Bayou was just the peaceful, new tradition we needed after losing my mother earlier in the year. There were so many thoughtful amenities around the home for us to enjoy as a family. Clean, spacious. Walking distance from the beach and other things on the island. The host was very responsive and warm from start to finish, would love to visit again once it’s warmer. Would recommend to family and friends.

Stay
This was a our second time to the area. Overall the house was in a convenient location especially with the boat ramp, pier for fishing and close to the beach. The home itself could use some maintenance such as repairs on back stairs of the deck and just in general. Also a deep cleaning would be good. I felt I spent more time cleaning than necessary. I would also look at the refrigerator it seemed to struggle in keeping things cool. For what we paid I probably wouldn’t pay anymore than that.
Adam says
Thank you so much for staying with us and your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We will take a look at the repairs you have suggested and share with the owner. Safe travels to you.
