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.

This house was amazing! Had everything we needed and caught tons of fish off the pier. This house was definitely a fun and relaxing experience! From everything in the trailer to everything in the house it was ready and clean when we arrived!

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!

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

The house, yard, and dock are better than the pictures. We had a great time away with our adult children. I would recommend and will be back.

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!

Best time ever. Family Gathering. Lots of fish. Plenty crabs. Gathering, Cooking, grazing, kayaks, beautiful sunrises and just wholesome family time.
This place is so beautiful yet comfortable for everyone from 2 years old to 72 years old. Something fun for everybody.
Clean, spacious, beautifully furnished and loaded with amenities. Everything you need provided from fishing and crabbing equipment including bait, ice, gourmet coffee set up, paper products and even toiletries.
Will be back soon.

5.0 / 5.0
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.

This house was fantastic! There were so many amenities provided, and that is honestly what sets this house apart from other VRBO‘s we’ve stayed in. Kathy was very accommodating & helpful with area specific questions we had.
We would definitely rebook if we were to visit LA again.
5.0 / 5.0
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 was a wonderful get away for the family. The place had everything we needed. The fishing dock was great and safe. The owners thought of everything. My kids caught a lot of fish and crab. Some big fish! It was a beautiful spot!
5.0 / 5.0
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!

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.

5.0 / 5.0
Overall a great experience for my family of six adults staying 4 nights. Pelican beach house is clean and very well stocked. Kathy the property owner is very thoughtful, communicating well.
House has 3 bed rooms with a nice open floor plan. Nice master bedroom with king size bed and private bathroom suite. One room with queen bed and other room has 4 bunk beds which is great if you have children. The house is thoughtful decorated and comes with all the supplies to give you the comfort of home.
The outdoor space is amazing. We stay during the early Fall so could not enjoy the water activities as much due to colder weather. The super long pier is state of the art and has all the amenities for fishing and entertainment.
Overall we enjoyed the Pelican lake house and hope to come back during the warmer months.
