My boyfriend and I wanted a place close to New Orleans and I also wanted a place on the water with a pool. This house fit the bill for all of that! Every part of our stay was great - the house was nice and clean and very well stocked and would be great for a larger group as well
My group had an amazing stay at this property. It was absolutely gorgeous and in a convenient location. I definitely would recommend staying here; it’s great for bigger groups!
My friends and I had a lovely stay here, great location and close to lots of great food choices and not far from French quarter. Rain didn’t let us enjoy the pool, but the back patio was very nice to hang out at.
House was in a great location. Very relaxing but close to NOLA. The management company was very easy to work with and even adjusted our dates due to flights.
This is our 3rd summer of staying in the same home. Lisa is very responsive when texted. The neighborhood and accessibility to highways are great! We have a large family and we all enjoyed the variety in spaces including the fishing dock, pool and living quarters. This home is close to lots of great restaurants and local establishments. We stayed for a week, so if you have a large group and are staying longer than a few days, one recommendation would be to bring your own pool towels and expect to buy household items like toilet paper and paper towels. Overall a wonderful stay and memories with our family.
Spent school vacation week at Windward with family, including 2 grandchildren. Plenty of room for 5 adults and 2 children, with a pool for additional fun. Lovely setting on the canal with good proximity to New Orleans, grocery sores and Swamp Tour.
The property is great for a big family! We enjoyed the serenity of the backyard and pool. Daily fishing and crabbing was always a hit. We would stay at this property again.
Nice & modern home right on the water. After a few days in the city, our ladies trip crossed over to Slidell and this house met all of our needs. Swamp tours are close, easy drive up the gulf to hang out on the beaches, and old towne Slidell super cute!

Catherine, I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. You were delightful guests. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Only thing we were worried about was there were no safety locks on the doors to keep our grandson from going out back, where the lake and pool were. We made our own. So if you stay, just bring a little portable lock that you can buy on Amazon. The pool was alittle cloudy. Otherwise the house was awesome, loved the neighborhood.
Outdoor space was very relaxing. It has easy access with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the first floor for people with limited mobility. We would have enjoyed having chairs in the bedrooms. There was an amble supply of towels. My impression is that whoever owns or manages this property, has never stayed here or monitored the housekeeping.
We love your place. It was both beautiful and relaxing. The neighborhood was very nice. We would definitely book again if we came back to the area. No negative comments, but with the 104 weather...an outdoor ceiling fan would be nice.
The area is lovely with all the channels, very walkable neighborhood. The home fit our group of 10 perfectly. I would suggest bringing some beach chairs with you to use on the deck as there weren't beach chairs or additional seating to use out by the pool other than the outdoor table and chairs and the 2 loungers. Not far to drive for Sams club, Aldi and local grocery store which was convenient for grabbing food for the week. Its about 30 min drive into NOLA, and 30 minute drive the other way to wondeful beach town so the location was great! Lisa was very quick to respond to any questions or needs. All in all, nice place to stay.
It was our first time visiting Louisiana, honestly the places we wanted to visit were at about 25 minutes distance from the house. However, the home and the back deck, plus the pool gave us a well time spent there. We enjoyed the house and the person in charge was great at communicating. There were a few things missing at the house, like toilet paper and not enough garbage bags but I contacted the person in charge and within an hour she sent someone to bring us what we needed. loved the view from the master bedroom. We had a great time.

So glad you enjoyed your time at Windward. You were a wonderful group and it was so nice to meet your nieces. Please come stay again.
Overall the stay was wonderful. Laundry was left in front of the washing machine, remote never worked for the main TV even after being serviced, and plugs/main light was not working in the master bedroom which made a c-pap machine difficult. You can download the Vizio remote app on your phone to work the TV if needed. I also recommend bring beach towels as there were 2 in the house. Step to the pool needs to be made more prominent/different color from deck. Had 2 people in our party fall. The actual pool could use a railing to get out easier. House was lovely though. Pool was a wonderful addition to the stay! The view is also gorgeous and some of the best beds I have ever slept on. Kitchen is also well stocked with appliances and pots/pans/dishes. If you prepare with notes from above, you will have an amazing stay! Highly recommend this location. Nice distance from New Orleans also!
