Another great Boathouse stay…
We always stay at the Boathouse by the Lake. This property, its owners and support staff are excellent hosts and good humans! They take care of you. We visit with family, as a couple, and this last time with another family. Every penny spent here is worth it, from safety of location, to ease of access to the Quarter. Highly recommended and will always be our go to NOLA home away from home.

A beautiful property extremely well laid out. So nice to sit on one deck and hear the masts of the boats in the marina and the other deck to watch the sailing regatta

Great boathouse!
Worked great for a family of 6 adults! We had the best time just hanging out at the boathouse while getting to enjoy the harbor and lake views. Location was very convenient to the french quarter which was also a plus. James was very communicative in case we needed anything. Thanks again for an amazing stay!!

Lakeside charm
My husband and I loved our week at the lake condo. It's a great central location and the views from the front deck are lovely: diving birds, groups of sailboats out for sailing lessons, larger sailboats and even some paragliding. The back deck was a fun snapshot of a busy marina and had very comfortable furniture. The interior was exactly as pictured and though we only used the master bed, I can see how a larger group could fit comfortably there.

Boathouse Week
We had a great week staying at this adorable boathouse. The location was extremely convenient to Southern Yacht Club where our kids were doing sailing clinic as well as shops, restaurants and grocery stores in the Lakeview neighborhood. We would definitely stay at this property again and would recommend it to friends looking for a Lakefront getaway!

Wonderful Lake Front Get Away!
The boat house is spacious and comfortable. Located in a convenient area of the NOLA Lake Front with exceptional views. The front porch is absolutely perfect for morning coffee and the back porch for afternoon cocktails. Accommodations are extremely comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. We will definitely stay here again for our next trip to the NOLA.

Fantastic home on Lake Pontchartrain!!
My family and I are outdoor enthusiasts and this property checked all the boxes! We arrived to find the marina was having their annual boat parade and it felt like they were greeting us! We enjoyed the views from the front and back of the property as both sides are water view! My granddaughter mostly enjoyed our morning walks all while using the host provided binoculars. We cooked breakfast 3 times and cooked one dinner and the kitchen provided everything we needed. we highly recommend this property! A+++

My family and friends were visiting the Southern Yacht Club for a Junior Sailing regatta over Thanksgiving holiday. The Boathouse makes the trip special with incredible views of both the marina and the lake. The house is very well maintained and equipped. We will certainly consider staying here again!

Can I buy the Boathouse? No Really!
We have stayed at this Boathouse multiple times. The stay is always amazing and our family walks away wishing for more time and looking at nearby properties to buy or rent. It is relaxing, safe, and very well kept. The property never disappoints. For those somewhat concerned about safety in NOLA, the Boathouse is just far enough away to give you a comfortable atmosphere, yet quick access to every hot spot. 10-15 minutes gets you to the Quarter, the WW2 Museum, all the food and fun. We have always done a little fishing and spent time just walking the marina. I think I have bragged on this enough, but I'll close with this: our family is the happiest at this spot out of all the years we have visited NOLA and all the properties we have booked (and we have been going for 15+ years). Thank you again, James, for a great stay.

Boat house near Southern Yacht Club
The property was fantastic, management and owner genuine and responsive. We had a terrific time and an envious view to spectate for the Collegiate Sailing National Championship! My two points of caution: 1. The bedrooms are not completely enclosed and are separated by a built-in unit. Extremely comfortable and attractive, but may be a surprise if unrelated couples were staying together. 2. Unfortunately the area has some unsavory characters, no fault of the owners. The security is top notch but guests should be cautious. There was an attempted break-in at adjacent property during our stay, to which the police responded by checking our place @ 3am. We loved our stay and were very comfortable overall.
