About this property

Cissie by the Sea 2.0-Fishing,Boat Stall,Sunsets,Best Wharf at Hebert's Landing!

Cissie by the Sea welcomes you to Big Lake, Louisiana!

A recent guest called our camp a "diamond" and we hope you'll agree! Bring the family to enjoy great fishing and beautiful sunsets at this two bedroom, two bath cottage at Big Lake. This camp has one of the best wharfs in the region, featuring a boat slip, fish cleaning station, two LED fishing lights, and an incredible upper deck where you can enjoy beautiful views and get your tan on. "Cissie by the Sea" sleeps up to eight people and offers great space for entertaining. The screened in porch offers additional seating and dining table. Just 20 minutes from Lake Charles, you'll feel like you've escaped to another world not far from the Creole Nature Trail.

There are two trundle beds in one bedroom (sleeps 4) and twin beds in the 2nd bedroom. The queen sofa bed sleeps two.

Weber charcoal grill, automatic coffee pot (sweetners provided) and lots of kitchen amenities will help you enjoy your relaxing time on the lake. Enjoy our board games, kayaks and a paddle board available, too!

We are proud to welcome you to Cissie by the Sea, which is fully remodeled after Hurricanes Laura and Delta in 2020. We are back and ready to have some fun, so come be a part of our new chapter! The camp gets its name from local legend Cissie McLeod, who also happened to be our mother. We aim to provide a place your whole family can enjoy, just as ours has for decades! Fish on!

Cissie by the Sea is a clean, comfortable and charming place right on the Big Lake. Sara was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. Sipping coffee while the morning sun lit up the water and watching the fabulous sunsets were the bookends to our days. And we caught lots of fish!

Very nice home!!! Sara was great and helpful planning our stay!! If you like to fish, we caught plenty of fish from the dock including Sheephead! If you plan on bringing your own boat, we recommend researching where to park it. The wind didn’t allow us to use their personal slip (not the owner’s fault) Mother Nature had other plans for us. Overall, it is a beautiful home and the sunsets from the screened in porch provided a great view and kept bugs away. Peaceful and relaxing!If you are wanting to find seashells, we recommend Cameron beach, very secluded and lots of colorful seashells to find. Thank you Sara for making sure we were well taken care of!

Great location

My son and I had a great stay at this property. It is very clean and well equipped. The lighted pier is very well constructed, convenient and a perfect fishing platform. Unfortunately, when we were there the fish were not biting, but we had fun regardless.

The perfect Staycation

We are from Lake Charles and chose to do a staycation this year with a new baby! This camp was the perfect place for our little family. We enjoyed hanging out and cooking in the yard near the water while the kids played, night fishing off the dock, fishing in Big Lake, and cooling off inside while still having the perfect view of the lake! We hope to make our staycation a tradition!

About the host

Hosted by Sara

Host profile image
Our family has been in Lake Charles for five generations. Big Lake is our favorite place in the world! Our camp was hit by hurrianes Laura and Delta in 2020 and our mom, Cissie, passed away two months later. It's taken us 2.5 years to complete the remodel, but it was well worth the wait! Our new house is just amazing. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. The property is owned by three sisters and our families.

Why they chose this property

You'll love this property because it's on the water, has an incredible wharf, great sunsets and a relaxing front yard and screened-in porch.

What makes this property unique

This is one of the only camps for rent that is newly remodeled. It has a huge kitchen with granite counter tops, 180 degree views of Big Lake, and one of the largest fishing docks down there.
