Secluded as it gets along the coast. The only sounds were the wind, and the cranes yaking. The house is very comfortable...

Georgous Views
This property has the most amazing views. I spent quite a bit of time on the back pattio just looking at the bayou. The amount of times i caught myself staring out the kitchen window at miles of grassland woth birds is surprised me. We had 8 adults and 1 5yo and it was perfect. Just enough privacy in each bedroom for each couple to escape but still close enough that we were available to everyone. My husbamd and I took the trip with our son (5yo) who LOVED the fishing and fire pit. All 3 sets or his grand parents came as well (total of 9 people) and we all had an amazing time!

Away from it all, but just a short drive to everything.
Secluded as it gets along the coast. The only sounds were the wind, and the cranes yaking. The house is very comfortable and the outside space is great. You'll need your own cable receiver and dish. I used my tailgater with dish network. Worked well with the nice big television. Would be a good fishing getaway. Stairs are a challenge for old folks. Brenda was there for us if needed. Thank you.

Got Toddlers
This was a little challenging for families with toddlers. Mom and Dad had little time to relax. However the sleeping pouch came in handy for a space toddler cousins to play. For the guests planning to sleep in the loft, the stairs are steep

Perfect Spot
Captain Mikes place is the perfect getaway spot if you like quiet, nature and fishing. Accommodations were very nice and has everything you could ask for. We will definitely be returning. The only problem was we had to leave!

Family thanksgiving
Great location, not near the beach(easy drive but need permission for beach access)but on a canal which is well-maintained and looking out to a marsh, peaceful and quiet. Good beds, well-equipped and comfortable furnishings. The owner was very kind with quick communication. There is a porch between the main house which worked out well when the 2year old had to take a nap or go to sleep. Would definitely come back.

Enjoyable place. The main drawbacks are the super slow internet and the fact that there is no cable TV. If you want to watch something you must have your own streaming service and even if you do, it takes forever to find it due to the slow internet. I thing the owner went too cheap on this one.

Beautiful views, other features lacking
Yes, the views at this property and the tranquility of area were lovely! However, the house itself did not line up with the pictures. Unfortunately, the home was not totally rental clean when we arrived (crumbs, dust, etc), particularly in the kitchen. The furniture is quite old and stained in the living area and patio, which is not reflected in the photos. We also had issues with bugs (baby roaches, biting ants) throughout the course of the stay. AC in one of the outer bedrooms rattles quite aggressively. Shared bathroom in outer bedrooms had bad smell, rusted tub, and loose plumbing set up in shower. Just a warning, staircase up to loft is extremely steep, so would not be appropriate for young children or elderly. Did not look for the Murphy bed on the breezeway porch between both sides of the house, but it could have been there in the wall. Select doors to outside and to breezeway do not shut properly likely enhancing the insect issues. There was one working television in the living room, and streaming was possible at times with WI-FI speeds. While the price is very appealing for a home this size, unfortunately there were some deal breakers for our family to stay here again despite the views, largely due to the bug issues/bug bites/suitcases invaded by bugs. I understand it’s a bayou, but the insect issue in the home goes beyond a few tree roaches or ants getting inside a window or door.

Lovely sunrises over the bayou, lots of crab-catching and cooking, kayaking…just a great space to relax and connect with family. Mike was wonderful with suggestions and fishing info.

Perfect place to get away from it all
It’s a magical thing when you can make time slow down just a bit and this spot allowed for just that. We fished and crabbed, kayaked, read, cooked and gathered around the kitchen and enjoyed watching our kids swing from a tire swing, walk and wonder and enjoy the simple things. We are leaving this trip recharged after some quality family time together- thank you!!

Nice experience
Overall the property was nice and the owner Mike Schmidt was very hospitable and great to work with. He allowed us to check in early and made sure that we felt at home. Personally, I think it should be listed as a property that sleeps 8, as the murphy bed is not practical to sleep. The above loft over the kitchen has little privacy and be prepared to wake up early if you choose the short straw.
