About this property
Waterfront Bay property with private beach and pier!
Home away from Home! Not just another rental! This wonderful family friendly property is perfect for larger groups. The bay is sandy bottomed, fairly shallow, and perfect for swimming, fishing, crabbing and kayaking. 3 kayaks plus life vests are included in rental. Just bring your fishing pole! Sleeps 14 with 4 bedrooms plus a loft. Large back deck plus 250 foot pier and huge 16x 30 covered dock. Lots of sand toys and games included. If you want to enjoy the beach without the crowds, this is the place for you. We’ve provided most things you’ll need for a wonderful vacation, just pack your clothes and food! Upon arrival you’ll notice the coffee station with keurig and regular coffee pot plus coffee, and sweetners provided. The kitchen is equipped with almost anything you need including spices, garbage bags, paper products and dish washing soap. There is a crockpot and large boiling pots, plus a blender. The laundry room is supplied with laundry detergent. The bathrooms have toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. The gulf beach is just 1.5 miles away, so you have that option too. There are 2 king sized beds, 2 queen beds, 2 full beds and 4 twin beds. There are 2 charcoal grills on the property, plus a fire pit for roasting hot dogs, or marshmallows or just sitting around the fire on a cool evening. We want you to enjoy your stay, but please treat our home with respect. Do not throw trash in our yard or beach, and certainly don’t leave trash in the house. We know you are on vacation, but don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink or dishwasher and leave the house tidy. It is a large home so the cleaning fee is reasonable and the cleaning service expects it to be tidy when they arrive😎. Most of our guests have done a beautiful job, but we recently had one that was a disaster, so please don’t book if you can’t abide by the rules.

It was a cold spring this year so we didn't get to utilize all of the outdoor amenities. We had a great time there during our family spring break trip.

**Perfect home for our family**Our stay here was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The property is beautiful, clean, and in the perfect location—literally steps from the soft sand, which made beach days at the home perfect. The views from the private deck or back porch are stunning, and we loved sipping coffee in the morning looking out over the bay. We even had the pleasure of watching dolphins on two different days play in the bay.The host was phenomenal. Communication was quick and seamless, and Linda truly went above and beyond by providing extra thoughtful touches. Everything was exactly as described, if not better. We made wonderful memories here.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was such a pleasure having your family stay and I really appreciate you taking such good care of our house!

We’ve stayed in many VRBO properties but never one that felt more like a home rather than just a rental. Well thought out and organized for their guests so that every need was provided. We went somewhere every day to enjoy some of the local attractions but couldn’t wait to get back to the house. Being close to all the attractions but being able to retire to a quieter place to relax and unwind was priceless. The pier and dock was a huge hit with our family fishermen. The kayaks, canoe and beach were used and enjoyed. It was the perfect size for our 12 family members: eight adults and four children.

I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay. We strive to make it feel like a second home, and not just a sterile rental! Thank you for taking such good care of it for us!
This was a very nice place to stay for our large family. The bay was perfect for fishing, crabbing, paddle boarding and kayaking. The pier was a fantastic place for relaxing and enjoying sunrises, sunsets, and dolphin watching. We had plenty of room inside the house to spread out and feel at home.

I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay! The pier is definitely my favorite place to be!
Our family of six had a wonderful stay! Each of our kids had their own private space—which is a big deal with four teenagers—and the master bedroom’s beach view was incredible. The layout was perfect for spending time together, whether we were playing games, watching movies, or sharing meals.The home itself was beautifully decorated with a relaxed beach vibe that felt both welcoming and homey from the moment we arrived. It really added to the overall experience and made it easy to settle in and unwind.One of the highlights for the kids was the crab traps—they were out checking them every morning and evening! We also loved birdwatching from the pier, which doubled as a beautiful spot to catch the sunset.The kitchen was well stocked, and we found everything we needed, including a fully stocked spice cabinet. Communication with the host was excellent throughout our stay. The location struck the perfect balance: just a short drive to downtown, yet peaceful and quiet enough to fully relax and enjoy the surroundings.Overall, we loved the property and it made for an incredible vacation!

Neptune’s Nest was a wonderful place to stay, with so many special amenities, and Linda was a most gracious host, being so very accommodating to our every question and request. My family and I felt very grateful to be able to enjoy this special place! We certainly look forward to staying here again!

Great location, just far away from town to enjoy the peace and quite.
Love the house and it was large enough to handle our family. We loved the sunrises and sunsets. We had fun fishing off the pier, and just a great place to vacation, would return if I have a large group again.

About the host
Hosted by Linda Gaspard
I am a realtor in. Louisiana. We purchased this property because we have a large family, with 25 grandchildren. They love to swim and fish and kayak in the bay. This is a unique property, with 100 year old live oaks, plus the sand and water. The house has a huge open living area to accommodate our family. We have really enjoyed it, and just decided to start sharing it with others, the sunset and sunrise from the pier is incredible, and if you’re lucky, you may see dolphin.
Why they chose this property
It sits on over and acre of land with beautiful live oaks and a small orchard in front with lemon, satsuma and kumquat trees. It’s very quiet and peaceful, plus has the sand and water. It’s only a few miles from the gulf beach. The bay is 6 miles across so the water view is spectacular. The bay is sandy bottomed and shallow so the kids love to play and swim in it.
What makes this property unique
Quiet, secluded .. you’re at the beach, without all the noise and crowds.
