The 1st Camp You'll Want to Stay At! Private Boat Launch & Plenty of Outdoor Fun

Newly renovated waterfront home. The home's canal is a direct 20-minute boat ride to the Jourdan River. It has 2 beds, 2 baths and a full-size pull-out couch. It also features a bunk room on the ground level with an additional three mattresses (2 twin and 1 full size). Please note-- THE BUNK BEDROOM IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE HOUSE.
This property includes so many wonderful spaces - a very large deck area and a play/fun area, both enclosed and great for children or pets. Fish off the dock or float your boat using the private launch. Great for barbeques, fish fries, and days in the sun. There's plenty to do here but if you feel like exploring, it's close to all of the city's attractions. Take a day to go to the beaches, Old Towne Bay St. Louis, outlet malls, casinos, or great restaurants. New Orleans is less than 50 miles away.

Excellent staycation!!
The house is in great area with terrific amenities. We loved all the outdoor spaces for hanging out and grilling. The house was immaculate and exactly as pictured. Having the boat launch was so convenient. Anne goes above and beyond with making the property comfortable and welcoming. Communication was easy and she was very responsive and helpful when we needed assistance. Thanks so much for everything!

This place looks better in person. It was clean and had everything we needed and more! The kitchen was fully stocked and even had the extras in case we forgot something. You don’t find that often. It was the little touches they had that will definitely bring us back. We grilled, sat at the table under the deck, fished, threw darts, cooked, and had lots of laughs. The puppy yard worked great for our pup. Thanks for a great camp!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this beautiful coast house. We were able to kayak, fish, and crab trap with the entire family. Wonderful layout with lots of room inside and out. We highly recommend this house if you need somewhere cozy and right on the water.

Perfect getaway on the water!
Overall this place is perfect for being on the water. The wrap around deck area was great for lounging and cooking. The house is close to everything in town and the beach. There was a few cleanliness issues considering the cleaning fee is 100 bucks but overall still a nice little home. Kitchen was fully stocked which was great...even seafood trays for crabs. Our dog loved all the grassy areas, fenced in area, and the deck for zoomies.

Finally Family Vacation.
Anne was a wonderful host. The Camp was very awesome for my family with ages ranging from 3 to 16 years and 3 adults. The porch was my favorite. Early morning coffee watching the fish jump out of water and the wonderful breeze from the trees surrounding the house. The house along with the huge outdoor area created family space. Plenty of room and very cozy. Very convenient to beaches and New Orleans. Best family gathering ever.

Great Weekend
Great location for a short weekend stay! We were in town for a wedding and really enjoyed staying here. Clean house, comfortable bedding, and a fantastic deck out back to hang out on. We had a little difficulty with the lockbox code upon check-in, but everything else with our arrangement was great. We would definitely recommend this house in Bay St. Louis!

Nice views-3rd bedroom is detached, needs baby monitors
First of all, let me say we stayed over a week, so most of these complaints shouldn't be a problem for weekenders. The third bedroom, with a triple bunk is actually detached from the main house and door doesn't lock. We felt this was very unsafe for our three young children. We were very lucky to find a used baby monitor with camera and talk features, on the day we arrived. This helped the situation! My kids where scared to stay in the room until they heard me talk to them, through the monitor. The couch in the picture had an ottoman that made a full size bed. The ottoman was not present. But there are several blow up mattresses. Also the fridge leaks a lot of water inside the unit. Because we stayed longer then a week this became a small issue. floors where NOT mopped! My daughter spilled a bottle of water on the living floor, the paper towels where black! May be a good idea to put reflective tape on all the steps! My mother and I both missed the step on the lower carport. Pet friendly was a great bonus, but the dog run has big holes in the fence, our small pups could easily get out, so we was not able to utilize this space. Thank you for allowing pets regardless! Its so greatly appreciated! Over all its a great property with good views. We loved the porch and dock areas and lighting was good! Had a ton of extras, like soaps, hair dryer, internet, dishes and cookware, especially washer dryer and laundry soap...was so useful. Condiments, creamer, coffee, bottled water, and simple breakfast items. The fancy toilet was fun! Parking is plentiful and boat ramp is a great feature.

Enjoyed a relaxing weekend at this property. The owner knew we were planning on fishing and went to the trouble to leave us some bait for our stay. Really appreciate that added thoughtfulness

Boys trip
Really easy to find place out of the way but close enough to go eat out and get groceries when needed. The canal gave easy access to the bay and other local fishing spots. Really it was the perfect place for me and the boys to eat together and have fun without fear of disturbing anyone from being to loud. The camp itself slept all of us comfortably without issue.
