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).

perfect weekend

We stayed here for my bachelor party and had the best time. Such a great place to hang out. We only planned one day in downtown New orleans and it was very easy to get ubers there and back. House was perfect for 7 people and we probably had room for an 8th. awesome dock and house.

An amazing property in an amazing location!

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!

We had a perfect family celebration. Kathy goes way above and beyond to ensure that her guests are supplied with practically anything they could need. We were amazed at the special touches and all the furnishings and supplies right at our fingertips. The comfort of the home is unsurpassed. The pier is awesome and the crab nets and traps, and the kayaks and jon boat were so appreciated. We caught specks and catfish and had a family fish fry. This was a A rental and we will most definitely be back. Thank you Kathy for being such a thoughtful and accommodating hostess!

Amazing Family Getaway - Perfection

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.

Incredible getaway!

Stayed for an extended weekend at Pelican Pier with my family to kick off the summer. The amenities were amazing. We crabbed and fished all day on the pier and relaxed on the little beach. My daughter and niece had a blast playing in the sand. The host has thought of absolutely everything to provide for a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much!
