Labor Day Weekend Retreat
Super girls' trip!! Both house and location were perfect for a friends' get-together. There were 5 ladies in the 65+ age range and couldn't have asked for a better place. We spent a great deal of time on the 'best front porch ever!' Host even helped each car unload luggage and supplies. (Thank you, Thomas!!) Home was well stocked and perfectly decorated with lots of antiques and eye catchers!!

Wonderful house and host
Tom was there to make sure we got settled in, the house was so amazing with all the antiques sitting around. It was fun just walking around trying to figure out what everything was. Beds slept great and extremely clean. Probably one of the cleanest VRBO homes we have ever stayed it. If we’re ever in Houme again, we will definitely stay here again. Thanks Tom for such a great experience.

Home in Houma!
My family and I loved our stay at this spacious, charming home in Houma! The screened front porch overlooking the bayou was my favorite place to be. The house was spotless, had plenty of bedrooms as well as loads of room to spread out. My kids appreciated not having to share a bathroom. The property is large, with room to run and play, and climb trees if you have kiddos. Tom went out of his way to provide an extra canoe, and even a kayak! He was a wonderful host, even gifting us with some fresh cut redfish for dinner one night! We enjoyed exploring "cajun country" and would definitely stay here again should we return. Thank you, Tom, for sharing your home with us!

Bayou Stay
The house was perfect for my family from out of town to stay and mingle with my husband's family that lives in town. Four + beds and 4 bathrooms is a bonus luxury that many homes do not offer. There is even an out house bathroom with running water! Be advised that the host lives on the property and you will see him often. There is also a lot of extra stuff/clutter lying around so young children need to be closely supervised. We rented this space specifically because it was advertised as a place to hold events. We had 20 people for Easter dinner mostly outside in the covered carport. In the middle of the gathering we were told that the extra guests would incur an extra fee. That's fine but it would have been nice to know before hand.

Good family home
The house was clean and accommodating to my party of 6 while attending the Manning Passing Academy. The property is a few steps from the canal and live alligators. The kids instantly starting fishing upon arrival and gators came up quick! Southern Louisiana in late June is NOT an ideal time to visit but MPA is only once a year. A lot of places were still closed due to last years Ida damage and several places were permanently closed.
