Best trip ever
This house has everything you need both inside and outside. Super clean also. We didn’t catch too many crabs but lots of fish off the amazing pier. Caught catfish, alligator gar, and even a shark! Close proximity to the boat launch to get out on the water where we went and got some redfish and speckled trout. Highly recommend and hope to be back again soon.

Family, Kids, and Fishing Paradise
With a family wedding in New Orleans we decided to turn Pelican Peir into our official Spring Break and stayed for a week.... what a great week it was. We are a family of six with kids from 6 thru 11 and this home could not have been better... everything is so well thought out! The man made beach was a HUGE hit for the kiddos and we enjoyed many hours just hanging out in the sand. Our spring breaks are usually at the beach so we were very excited about this and it exceeded expectations. FISHING REPORT: There are several local bait shops (2 within 2 miles), but everyone seems to offer ONLY live shrimp. We began day 1 with the liesimp under a popping cork and landed nothing but catfish (still fun for the kids), but on my visit the water was stirred up so we switched to something with a little more scent.... FRESH CRABS. The house comes with about twenty crab nets that you can simply space out over the 400 ft dock. My 7yo son had the best time all weekend just running up amd down the dock, pulling up the nets, anf catching the crabs (store them in the crab pods). With the fresh blue crab we changed our fishing experiance. Casting straight out from the dock we caught 5 Black Drum in excess of 34", a tasty 26" Red Fish, and my youngest somehow landed a 44" Bull Red! There are six rod holders at the end of the dock... if you have crab out you will catch dum every morning and night (we did). My advice in March is to cast far and deep straight out into the lake... not to the side

Beautiful house, plenty to do for the whole family
Cathy was a great host- the house was just as beautiful as it looks online. Great location- a short drive into New Orleans, close to restaurants and swamp tours in Slidell. Our family loved exploring the area and spending time at the house fishing. We had a wonderful time!

Excellent time had by all
You’d be making a mistake by not choosing this VRBO - Kathy and Claudio have thought of absolutely everything for their property. The house is immaculate and has ALL items you’ll need at your home away from home. The pier is stocked with your needs for fishing right there including a live well to keep your bait shrimp and crabs alive after you’ve caught them. The beach is excellent to keep kiddos entertained and they also have sand toys. Coolers galore and an ice maker to make sure you never run out. We traveled with 2 kids, 4 and 8 and grandparents, best decision about the trip was to stay at the Pelican Pier Beach House!

Great quiet place for vacation
The owners succeeded in making the property a home away from home! The property is quiet and peaceful. But there is always something to do for every age. We loved the beach and swimming in the lake. The fishing was also wonderful. The owners provided so many amenities that we didn't have to pack a ton of things. In addition, they were prompt and friendly in answering any questions we had. We will certainly consider coming back and highly recommend it to family and friends that want to travel down that way.

We have stayed at several rentals in this area throught the years and this one is by far our favorite. This property is furnished with anything you might need, they have thought of it all and the pier and dock are the perfect spot for fishing, relaxing and taking in the beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the lake. We will be back and highly recommend the Pelican Pier house.

Everything was perfect
Our stay was everything we hoped it would be! House is well stocked, owner is amazing. We woke up the first day to the keurig not working and she came over the same day with a new one even though it was totally unnecessary. The dock is AMAZING and the owner provided everything to go fishing and crabbing. the kids were able to take the kayaks out with they loved. It’s a perfect location to be able to see the beauty of the city but relax when we needed to. Totally the best of both worlds. It’s out there kind of in the middle of nowhere, not a lot of shopping or food can be done without a bit of a trip but we assumed that would be the case in that area. The Wi-Fi is not great, but being that it’s a pretty secluded area and very windy, could have been related to that. For us, think it was a good thing as it got all the kids up and out. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, we cannot wait till we have another opportunity to come.

This property was in my opinion perfect. It was very clean, the communication with the owner was effortless and it included everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay. The pier is amazing. Everything you need to start having fun the moment you arrive is already there. Including bait for fishing and crabbing. The house is beautiful and even includes the little touches like travel toiletries in case you forgot something, and a Keurig bar with local treats. You can tell the owner takes great pride in the property. I highly recommend this property. I plan on returning again in the future!

2022 Christmas holidays at Pelican Pier Beach
My family and I had the most amazing time at the beach house. The owners are very accommodating and the nicest people you could meet. The home is spacious, clean and beautifully furnished . It is very scenic with views of the lake and and private beach. There is the most amazing pier for fishing, crabbing, or just watching the sunset. It has everything you would want. One of the best places for family gatherings . I would highly recommend to family and friends. This will become our annual local family gathering.
