About this property

Houseboat @ Venice Marina (Roosters Den)

Rooster's Den lodge is a floating house located in the Venice marina in slip B-02. With quick access to the parking lot (and no stairs) it's easy to unload your gear and get settled in so you can spend your time on the water doing what matters the most. FISHING. With space to tie up two boats and unobstructed views of the water, you'll quickly see why this is one of the best locations in the marina.

As you enter Rooster's Den you will find yourself in the Mud Room, complete with a full size washer and dryer, and a loft with two twin mattresses located above. This private loft is great for overflow guests. The mud room is a perfect spot to drop wet clothing into the washing machine, and its also spacious enough for pet kennels.

From the Mud Room you can then enter into the main open plan living area, which is complete with a large sofa, a love seat and extra seating. We also provide you with a large 50" flat screen TV with access to the many channels offered by Dish Network, including WiFi should you need access. In the main living area is also a full size kitchen with new stainless steel appliances and completely stocked with an array of pots and pans to suit all your cooking needs, and a dining area that seats 8 at once. The kitchen has an unobstructed view of the harbor.

If you prefer cooking in the great outdoors, no worries. For your use, there is a large grill on the front dock, along with a burner and stock pot for "boiling dem shrimp" which are typically available just across the marina. There is also a lighted fish cleaning station on the dock directly behind the you clean your catch of the day. Whatever your needs, we've got you covered.

Central air and heat will keep you comfortable during your stay. There's also a 700 lb ice maker on the front dock AND a small chest freezer to keep your fish AND your beer ice cold.

Just off the main living area, there are two full bathrooms along with two large bedrooms. Bedroom one has 2 sets of full over full bunk beds in one bedroom, and bedroom two has 1 set of full over full bunk beds (plus the two twin mattress in the loft over the mud room)

Our houseboat was built in 2015, and we are happy to have you as our guests. We strive hard for five star reviews and five star referrals. Check in is 3 pm, check out is at 11am. The $100 USD cleaning fee goes directly to the staff that does a great job keeping everything up for you.

If you’re bringing a dog, please realize there will be a $100 pet fee per pet to cover the costs associated with your dog. We love having our pups with us, too, but it takes extra time for housekeeping to clean ip for the next guests who may not love traveling behind your dogs. Thanks in advance for understanding!

Cozy
Wasn’t the first time that I’ve stayed there. Very nice place and all you need is clothes and food if you don’t wish to eat out!

Redfish Heaven - prime spot at the Marina
Exceptional service throughout the whole process from Beverly and Clay. This is a prime spot with great views of the morning sunrise as you’re waiting for the boat to pick you up right at your own dock to go catch some bull reds. Houseboat was well stocked with towels, seasonings, and everything we needed . Beds and pillows were comfortable!

Honestly, best property in the marina.
The Rooster's Den was a great place to stay and IMO, it really is the best property in the marina from many good choices. Next time in Venice, we will set our dates based on RD's availability. In addition to high starts on all the basics (clean, easy to access, full of house stuff to use, etc.): - The layout of RD is really comfortable. Comfortable bunk beds to sleep and a really roomy and logical layout of a joined family / TV and kitchen area. Comfortable places to sit, cook and eat as a group. - The host was really great to us. Very helpful and unsolicited outreach before we arrived, very responsive and welcoming when we did have questions and the host was also very helpful with an adhoc special request from my group. RD is truly a great place to stay.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are from Monroe, Louisiana and have been fishing south La for many years. With five grown sons and their big families, we decided to lay down roots and make a second home in the Venice area - a place where we cherish outdoor living and the people.

Why they chose this property

Why Rooster's Den? Hospitality is our name while fishing is our game. The bottom line is we offer it all. This is a fishing and hunting lodge that will meet all of your needs. The location is prime with space for two boats, and the amenities such as the ice maker and vacmaster set us apart, plus privacy being at the end of the row.

With great connections in the area, we can help you have a dream trip.
