We loved our stay in Bayou La Batre. This house provided us with everything we needed. Right on Snake Bayou. We enjoyed the different restaurants in the area and it was just a short drive to Dolphin Island for the beach. House was very clean and very comfortable!

Great house! This is our third year to rent this house and we will keep coming each year. We have a mission trip to Bayou La Batre’ that comes and our youth stay at the Hemley Rd church of Christ. They have a food and clothing distribution each week for the community. Such a wonderful program for those in need. This house is minutes from the church, a grocery store and ice cream shop! The porch overlooks the Snake Bayou with a peaceful view of it and the surrounding pine trees. The kitchen is easy to maneuver and properly stoked. Dauphin Island, a popular beach destination is less than an easy 30 minute drive. We will be back next year!

This bungalow is very clean and well stocked with all you need for a fish fry, crab boil, and anything you need inside the kitchen. Everything! Mudbugs Fish Camp is the name of the joint, however, you need a boat to fish in this area. Hightide is in the mornings when you sleep in or out with your family at the beach, exploring nearby Dauphin Island. Evening and Night fishing from the dock is sparse. When the tide goes out, the water is so low and still it is impossible to enjoy casting a line. That being said, the boat slip is right across the water from the house and only one driveway down. The area is quiet for the most part. The neighbors kept to themselves. The gentlemen with the Shrimping Boat that is dock across the way was friendly. We enjoyed her our stay and had a great vacation.
