Our Windward property is a large 4 bedroom, 3 bath waterfront home with a pool. This bright and impressive home is located in Slidell, a suburb just 25 minutes from downtown New Orleans and the historic French Quarter. This home has 2 large bedrooms, two smaller bedrooms, plus three full baths. There’s also an outdoor pool adjacent to the dock and waterfront. The Windward was professionally renovated in 2019 and has been beautifully furnished and decorated with complimentary accents and stunning art throughout.
The large living room is equipped with a big screen TV, sleeper sofa and cozy fireplace. The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances, including a double oven and large stove, plus all the accessories needed to whip up an impressive feast for your family and guests. The dining rooms seats up to 8, a great space for a family get togethers, game night and meals. The large deck is fully furnished with multiple large sofas and plush chairs, with extras on hand for additional guests. There’s a beautiful large oak tree that provides the perfect amount of shade to keep you cool while entertaining and relaxing. The deck is just 15 feet from the water, with an accessible eep water access 60 ft. dock. Bring your boat and kids to enjoy some memorial swimming, skiing, and fishing. You can fish right off the dock in the front yard or cruise over to Lake Pontchartrain via a 3 minute boat ride. You’re also just minutes away from some of the best fishing in the country – phenomenal salt water fishing in the Rigolets and access to fresh water fishing 20 minutes farther by boat.
You can have the best of both worlds when you stay at the Windward. Spend your days on the water, then hit the French Quarter via Uber, taxi or by car at night for great fun and entertainment like no where else.

A great visit and appreciate it very much.
Heads up!!! You definitely won’t be disappointed everything is very accurate! And it definitely felt like home away from home! Enjoy!

This place was great! Clean and as pictured. Plenty of room for a large family to enjoy time together. We loved the dock for fishing, the grill for barbecue and... read more the patio to hangout together. Plenty of kitchenware and tools for making meals. Host responds quickly to questions we have. Would stay here again!
This place was awesome! 🤩 my family and I had a great time, the view was amazing, the house was very welcoming and well kept, and the neighborhood felt very... read more safe. There’s a Waffle House maybe 5 minutes away, bourbon street is a good 30-40min. I literally sat on the balcony and watched the birds catch fish. I would absolutely recommend 👍🏽
Lisa's place is a lovely home on a waterway that leads to Lake Ponchatrain. The neighborhood is very quiet and the view of the sunset from the dock was gorgeous.... read more I stayed there for a long weekend with my parents and my four brothers. We each had a room and everyon had plenty of space. We especially enjoyed sitting outside on the deck in the mornings and evenings.
We got married in New Orleans, and stayed at this beautiful home. We had ourselves, our kiddos, and two of our good friends staying with us. This place worked out... read more perfectly for everything we needed, plenty of space for everyone never felt cramped, and everyone was spaced out nicely. We would definitely stay here again.
The Windward house was perfect! The description of the home prior to booking is accurate, and Lisa was very thorough with expectations and recommendations. We had a total of 8... read more guests during our stay and we couldn’t have asked for a better retreat. The home was spotless, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals at home, no one ever ran out of hot water, and we especially liked the heaters in the bathrooms. The pool and deck area are gorgeous, and so tranquil just to sit out there and enjoy some time outside (unfortunately it was a little chilly during our stay, so we opted not to use the pool, but we so wanted to!). There was plenty of room, inside and out, to spend lots of time together, but also plenty of opportunity to have our own space and downtime apart from the rest of the group. We loved the location of this home too, because we had easy access to New Orleans/French Quarter, Airport, but also Slidell, the local swamps/lakes/bayous, as well as Mississippi and its beautiful white sandy beaches.
As far as other reviews had mentioned: we had zero issues with any neighbors (or signs), and the driveway was no issue for a full-size SUV nor a sedan.
I would highly recommend this home away from home, and would love to visit again someday!
I love to cook my only issue was the pots and pans that the home provided and mine were not compatible.
This house was everything and better than described. The house was clean and comfortable, easy to find and access was convenient. The pool and waterfront was a nice bonus.... read more Lisa’s communications were prompt and informative. We paid a premium for the house over the Thanksgiving holiday probably better value other times of the year. Overall great house for our family. Thank you Lisa for making it so easy.
First time to stay at Sea la Vie and would definitely return. The property was awesome and house was exactly as described. Thank you Lisa for an excellent experience.
The space offered nice sleeping arrangements for a large family group. We really enjoyed the outdoor area. The deck was large and offered a lot of seating. ... read more The rooms were as pictured and the host responded promptly to messages.
This house was probably one of the most beautiful houses my friends and I have ever stayed at during one of our trips. It looked exactly like the photos on... read more the listing but those photos do not do it justice. The only way for you to know, is to book this place immediately. Everything was super clean and nicely organized for when we got there. Clean kitchen and bathroom. Whenever I needed help, Lisa was super responsive and was happy to help. The pool was very nice and clean. A pool cleaner does come by every Friday to clean it from leaves and makes sure everything is in proper order. The view from the private dock was amazing too. Sunset and sunrise, the view was great! All in all this place was amazing and I really recommend it to anyone who is looking for a peaceful and private stay.
Mostly roses and maybe a couple thorns. Overall it was a lovely stay and property, and we would totally book again. This is really a 4.5 rating and can... read more easily be a 5 for other guests if host decides to address the thorns.
Roses:
1. Loved the laminated checkout guidelines that were easy to find and follow.
2. Loved the decor.
3. Loved the patio design and generous outdoor seating.
4. Good entertainment options and apps on the smart TVs.
5. Overall great location. Excellent access to highway.
6. Appreciate that there were multiple games for guests to choose from.
7. Well equipped kitchen for guests who are serious about cooking dishes like gumbo.
8. Loved the laundry and that there was a mop sink.
9. Not many fish in the waterway, but having a fishing pole was a nice touch (smile :)
10. Would absolutely book again in the future, and recommend it to family and friends.

Thorns:
1. Light in upstairs bedroom closet.
2. Garbage disposal is essential and needed in kitchen where there will be lots of cooking
3. Toilet paper holder in upstairs bathroom was loose.
4. Reverse one of the bunk beds such that the ladders do not face each other. The current configuration forces use of only one ladder at a time which makes it tough for guests when that room is fully occupied.
This was such a great house! Lisa was very easy to communicate with and the house was clean and exactly as described.

Fantastic. If there were a word better, I'll use it. The experience was phenomenal.n Beautiful and very clean home!
This house is very nice. Well appointed and a nice layout for a large group. The back porch was wonderful.
One thing to note, the driveway is... read more very steep. While there is level parking for 2 minivans. You will scrape both the front and back getting in and out.
