This is pur secind visit to Cypress. When I booked this vacation I knew that it was going to provide the serenity that we needed.
A vacation at Cypress is unlike any other that you will experience. The owners are warm and inviting, the home is stunning, and the property provides pure bliss. We found ourselves relaxing on the dock for hours just taking in the view and sounds of the bayou. Cypess gave us exactly what we needed. Time to slow down, enjoy its beauty, and truly recharge.
With most vacations towards the end of your stay you are ready to go home. At Cypress your stay will never be long enough.
I look forward to returning in the near future. From here forward Cypress will always be my dream vacation.

This is a beautiful property in a beautiful setting. It was also the cleanest house I have ever stayed in. I am a real "clean freak" and the cleanliness of this house passed every test I have. Highly recommend this property.

I'M CONFLICTED. THIS PLACE IS SO WONDERFUL, I SORT OF WANT TO KEEP IT TO MYSELF. THE PROPERTY IS IMMACULATE WITH EVERYTHING YOU CAN POSSIBLY NEED. THE LOCATION (ON THE BAYOU) IS BEAUTIFUL. THE OWNER IS ATTENTIVE, RESPONSIVE, AND REALLY CARES THAT HIS GUESTS HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE. THIS WAS MY THIRD STAY, AND I HOPE T0 RETURN MANY MORE TIMES.

Enough cannot be said about the pristine and natural setting of this property. The pictures are beautiful, but the real thing is stunning. The house is perfect. Beautifully decorated and perfectly appointed. My grandsons loved the fishing and canoeing. We all hope to return someday in the future.

Spectacular! The house is lovely and has everything that you need for your stay. The owners are very, very nice and accommodating. We chose this particular property because it is close to an awesome bike trail, Fontainebleau State Park, Mandeville town amenities, and best of all Bayou Castine. We spent lots of time sitting on the dock, that juts out into the bayou, taking in the nice breezes. We could not get enough of the flora and fauna while sitting on the dock. Alligators cruised by, ducks and various birds kept our attention, and the songs of the various frogs and other night creatures were so relaxing. You cannot go wrong with this property.

My wife and I stayed at this property for a fortnight. We have stayed in many holiday rentals, but this property is among the best. The location is superb, being right on the bayou; only yards from the 'Trace' - a 25 mile cycling/walking route between Slidell & Covington; and just minutes from beautiful downtown Mandeville.
The property has everything we require. It is modern; is superbly equipped and furnished; and has all the extras (bikes; canoe; dart board; table tennis table) to make a stay extra special.
The hosts are really friendly and live nearby.
This is our second visit to Bayou Castine, and it will certainly not be our last. I would thoroughly recommend this property.

The house and property are amazing in every way. There is nothing they have not thought to provide.We made several day trips over to New Orleans and the area across the causeway and it was so nice to come back to such a peaceful, beautiful home. We were blessed to have amazing weather at the end of January so were able to enjoy the outside ammenities they offer, bikes, kayak, grill, and chairs by the water. This home is wonderful is every way.

This is a beautiful and spacious home. Has everything you would need or want. The bedrooms are spacious with walk in closets and each has their own bathroom.Very comfortable beds and pillows. Meticulously cleaned home. 4 decks to sit on and look at the spanish moss hanging from the large trees. If it had been warmer, we would have used the entertainment center under the house more.
But we did get in a game of darts. Loved fishing off the dock. The area is close to restraurants, shopping and a state park. This luxurious home is located in a peaceful neighborhood close to a marina. We definitely want to come back.

Cypress is stunning in every way. The views from every window are gorgeous, the house is extremely well appointed and comfortable and every detail is accounted for. David and Marie are amazing hosts and we are grateful for the privilege of staying at this beautiful property. 5 stars and beyond!

The photos don’t even serve this property justice. It’s spacious and simply beautiful with every amenity you could need. Tons of outdoor balcony and patio space with several boardwalks and a peaceful bike/walking path right around the corner. It feels secluded but is close enough to Girod and Florida street to be right in town in a minute.
The owner, David, is very friendly and made several kind efforts to connect with us during our stay to make sure everything was to our liking. He also came by on garbage day and another time to leave some fresh picked fruit. We ran into him a couple times when we were out and about too, which was quite serendipitous. If you are looking for more of a bed and breakfast vibe, with contact with the owners who live right nearby, this is the place for that.

This place is nothing short of AMAZING! My hubby wanted to go somewhere for his 50th birthday, so we picked Cypress in Mandeville. Absolutely phenomenal property. The owners were wonderful and so helpful. I am already checking our calendar for a trip back. You will not be disappointed if you book this location.

The property was beautiful and very conveniently located to the Old Mandeville area and the Trace bike trail. It feel wonderfully secluded and beautifully designed to take in the surrounding nature.
Hosts surprised us with a special anniversary gift which was so appreciated.
Perfect for a family or couple group. Large enough for everyone to have their own space.
Would love to go back when the weather wasn't so Louisian hot, but since i am from the area i knew what to expect.
No alligator sightings but plenty of birds and bayou beauty.

Spent most of our time on the dock fishing and canoeing the bayou catching critters, will definitely be going back.

This was one of the nicest VRBO properties I have stayed in. Beautiful home and property on Bayou Castine in Mandeville. House was immaculate. It was more like a retreat. Peaceful and private with luxury accommodations. The owners were very attentive to our needs which were few as this house had all the modern amenities. Would recommend to anyone wanting to experience the beauty of Mandeville.

The pictures do no do this property justice. It is more amazing than I could have ever imagined. The home was exceptionally clean, and the owners add special touches to make this home comfortable.
We spent most of out time on the deck watching the wildlife and enjoying the views. The canoe and kayak were wonderful to take out and explore the water.
I love that the owners checked in to see ifbwe needed anything during our stay. They were so pleasant to talk to, and went out of their way to make our stay special.
I hope to return someday for an extended stay. Thank you for opening your home. Thisbwas a magical place to stay and I cannot even begin to express how truly beautiful this property is.

This has to be one of the best vacation rentals we've EVER stayed in, WOW!!! It's new, it's luxurious and it's located on an awesome swamp setting! Contacting Marie and David was easy and friendly, if any questions or anything was needed. They provided excellent check-in information about the property from the start. This property is top notch, we can't say enough! We safely saw alligators on our 1st morning from the many decks around the house! The property is set in a quiet, private location with lush vegetation of palm trees and Spanish moss, just beautiful!. Wonderful Louisianian style food was in easy reach in town! We could not ask for a more perfect getaway! Marie and David, thanks for sharing this property! We shall return and hopefully see more gators!!

Amazing house and property. Every detail was thought of - bikes, canoe, kayak, ping pong, corn hole, everything you need to cook a meal, gourmet kitchen (Whole Foods 5 minutes away) and more. Lots of windows and stunning cypress views wherever you turn. Many different places to hang out outside. Multiple decks with comfy outdoor furniture, and an awesome deck right by the water. Mandeville is the perfect sleepy southern town with incredible old mansions along the lake. Perfect to view while coasting on a bike along among the 400 year old live oak trees dripping with Spanish moss. The sounds of the swamp - crickets, cicadas, bull frogs- are almost deafening at night and the perfect lullaby to drift off to sleep to. Comfy beds, wonderful showers, unique original art everywhere. So wide open and spacious. Just book it. I can’t believe a place this nice is so affordable. Dave was a wonderful and thoughtful host. We didn’t want to leave. I will miss the sights and sounds of this incredible location.

This property is 5 star amenities and adventure all rolled into one. The dock on the bayou is superb for animal and bird watching. This property was gorgeous and so much fun! A stroll on the lakeside just a short bike-ride away was an added bonus! The host was very accommodating and responsive if ever needed. Thank you for sharing this magical location!

We had a lovely stay at Cypress. The house is gorgeously decorated, and the view of the bayou from the back deck is stunning. A truly beautiful property! The owners were very kind and easy to communicate with. Loved the access to the Tammany Trail right beside the house! 10/10

Beautiful house and beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed being on the bike trail, taking the canoe out and just sitting on the dock watching the gators and snakes. Patio and deck area were amazing! Communication with property manager was easy as well. It was a relaxing wonderful time! We will definitly rent again! So sad to leave!

My wife and I have been visiting the USA on a regular basis for almost 40 years, and I can say that this is one of the most impressive properties we have ever stayed in.
The house is located directly on the bayou, and is a modern, tastefully furnished and homely property, with 3 outdoor decks; it's own private jetty with seated area; and is just yards form the 30 mile long biking and hiking trail.
The grounds are private, substantial & quiet, with an abundance of bird and wildlife. Facilities provided include a rowing boat, bicycles, dart board and table tennis table.
The hosts, who live locally, could not have been more helpful and friendly, and provided a lot of useful information.
We would highly recommend this property, and we enjoyed our stay so much we have already inquired about a return visit next year.

5 star all around!
