I have been to Slidell a million times and stayed at families houses and then hotels as I got older. This was the first time staying in a VRBO and it was the best trip ever! The view was amazing. We got there at night and I was so excited when I opened the curtains in the morning and saw the beautiful yard and water. My boys had so much fun fishing and hanging out outside and the space was so clean. We will definitely stay here again!
My family stayed here with my small dog for a few days over Thanksgiving. The place was beautiful, right on the water, clean, and cozy. The host was so friendly and responded promptly. We had complete privacy and felt very safe in the neighborhood. This is about a 30 minute drive from New Orleans and worked great for us because we felt safe. We loved our stay so much that we plan to stay here again soon and maybe even move to the area. 10/10!
My niece and I traveled down for the Taylor Swift concert. We couldn’t have asked for a better location. Not too far from the venue, but still safe and quiet. Paulo was very quick to respond to all of my messages. We didn’t really have enough time to just hang out around the space, but I’d love to come back and just sit by the water.
First, let me start by saying how amazing the lighthouse is. The way it is situated makes it very private and our dog ran around freely and the yard is so big she did not even try to leave. Secondly, I have never been an avid fisher, or fisher at all but we had so much fun and caught so many fish that on our last day while my husband was at work I was googling how to tie fishing knots! We loved this place!!
I came here with my family and we all loved this place! It’s in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood and the host was so nice and was incredibly timely with responding when I had questions about the rental. The location is perfect and there was everything we needed! There’s also paddle boards/canoes you can use which I loved but be careful if you use them because there are some alligators!! I brought my dog as well and I am so glad I chose this place instead of a house in the city. This place was perfect for him! I hope to stay here again in the future!! :)
Beautiful setting, peaceful neighborhood. Unfortunately, there was no schedule left for trash/recycling pickup; the AC unit has an auto shut off feature that caused the house to be hot everytime we returned from being out all day.
This was the perfect place to stay for our small group. It’s small but cozy. The outside made it totally worthwhile. The views. The wrap around porch. Even in the rain I had my coffee out there every morning. Just beautiful.
I want to say first my husband is from New Orleans and we have been visiting for years. We usually stay with family or hotels.
This year we decided we needed a real vacation and see family too. The Lighthouse was a perfect home away from home. We have done the swamp tours, plantations, Mardi Gras, WW II museums and shopping. This time was for water, eating and visiting family.
The Lighthouse was perfect. Our little chihuahua loved chasing a lizard around the deck. Everything we needed was inside and outside.
My husband threw the crab net out and caught turtles. He fished and caught a gar fish and fed the turtles.
He grew up on the bayous but they weren't as beautiful as Bayou Chamele.
We visited with family in Slidell and some came to visit with us. They loved our place.
The owner was available for any questions we had and promptly took care of everything.
We definately look forward to returning to our Magical lighthouse.
Thanks Polo for allowing us to visit in your special place.

Well needed getaway
Property was beautiful very peaceful.. Love the fact we got to go fishing.. Everything was provided or was in driving distance.. Inside could have been a little better.. One of the blinds was broken or could not close for privacy and I could not get the internet password to work Other then that.. It was a GREAT stay
.. I would come back again.

Amazing!!!!
We had a great time at the Lighthouse! The location of the house is very private, and we love privacy and security! The house is very cozy and the space worked well for me my husband and our little Yorkie! The backyard is beautiful, it exceeded our expectations! We did lots of fishing, everyday! There are alligators around the property, we saw couple of them in the water so I had to keep my eyes open for our dog! We loved everything about our stay, but I only gave 4 stars not 5 just because there’s multiple trains that goes by early in the morning, during the day and also at night and they are loud! We will definitely stay at this place again (despite the trains...lol ) because of the location and the backyard! If you don’t mind the trains, this is the place for you!!! The owner is amazing, helpful and kind!

Cozy, clean and comfortable stay!
The lighthouse was a cozy place with beautiful scenery! We had everything we needed for a week. The owner was prompt in answering questions we had. Somehow, the binder/book with information about the place was missing when we arrived. We never were able to get the TV to work, but used the DVD player and rented several Redbox movies and played games instead. (The owner did offer to send someone over or visit by phone to figure it out, but we declined). We enjoyed this place and would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful place!
Much better than a hotel stay and pretty comparable in price. The home was lovely and we enjoyed being able to relax on the dock and take in the scenery! Will be booking again.

Relaxing!
The property was perfect! Perfect for my family (2 boys) who enjoyed fishing, playing in the backyard and making s’mores at night. Everything was perfect, no complaints. Thank you again for letting us use your home.

We'll be back next year!!
What a great place. Privacy, quiet, comfort at it's finest. Paulo answered every question we had and even came and rescued us from QVC, LOL!
We had a small issue with the audio/visual set up but Paulo fixed it. And he made a point to come visit and make sure all of our housekeeping needs were met. What a great host!
I would highly recommend this place for any couple regardless of age. Young and old should be able to enjoy. We'll be back next year for a longer stay.

Lighthouse on the bayou is a really nice place for a relaxing stay,
Nice cozy little place right on the water nestled way back in a very nice neighborhood. Offers great fishing and kayaking opportunities right from their dock. Unique building style that comfortably sleeps three or four. Small, but well-equipped kitchen, and a variety of lighting. Wonderful decking and private backyard for evening or daytime lounging, or bird-watching. The owner was easy to contact and answer any questions we had. We would definitely stay there again!
