Pelican Pier Beach House on Lake Catherine

Enjoy a Beach vacation inside the city limits of New Orleans! The “Pelican Pier Beach House” offers spectacular lake views, charming and unique white sand beach area, and wonderful 400-foot private fishing pier with a large covered pavilion and two docks on Lake St. Catherine. Enjoy great fishing and crabbing from the fishing pier, go kayaking or boating, go swimming, build a sandcastle or just relax on the white sand beach, in a comfy rocking chair or on one of the covered decks. Launch your own boat or wave runners at the nearby marina and tie them up at your private boat dock.

When it's time to go inside, enjoy the spacious and open living room, dining room and kitchen with spectacular views of Lake St. Catherine. Very large master bedroom with King bed and ensuite bath (sleeps 2). Guest bedroom with Queen bed (sleeps 2). Kid’s bedroom with twin bunkbeds (sleeps 4) includes a large closet stocked with toys. There is also a queen sofa-bed in the living room (sleeps 2).

The view and everything about the place was very peaceful. Definitely will be coming back with my littles

The property itself is absolutely amazing. The house is comfortable and has everything you'll need (plus more)! The amenities at the property were also top-notch. We enjoyed the pier/pavilion area so much, and our kids loved hanging out on Flamingo Beach. The location of the property was great, too. Half hour from New Orleans/French Quarter, half hour from Slidell (which is a really cute little town with lots of restaurants). We loved it!

Perfect place for a fishing getaway! The entire property is so thought through! We lost count of the number of fish we caught after the first night - redfish, rainbow & speckled trout, flounder, catfish, sheepshead, and even a couple stingray - such an amazing time. Thanks for the great weekend!

Close enough for a day trip to New Orleans, a trip thru the bayou or just spend the day in fishing off the dock. I wanted a water view home that had all of these. This house delivered and more. All amenities were in place as promised. Owner made access so easy.

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!

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.

Pelican Pier was beyond expectations, pictures don't give it full justice, very impressed with everything, rooms, amenities, pier, location, everything. My family and I had an awesome time, if you are looking for some peace and quite with 4 star accommodations, you will not be disappointed with Pelican Pier. Owner was easy to communicate with, she had mentioned due to the recent storm there was some minor repairs needed and some might not be done in time by our arrival, day of arrival she texted all repairs don. Amazing time, will definitely be back.

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 is better than the annual family Florida vaca. The owners have thought of everything needed for a great time accommodating all ages. The resident iblack belly whistling ducks were a bonus!

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.

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.

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!

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.
