About this property

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).

Lake Catherine is the best of both worlds: Enjoy nature and sportsman's paradise with the family at the Lake house one day; party in the big city the next day. Only 40 minutes to downtown New Orleans or 15 minutes to Slidell.
