Great property!
The property was perfect for our purposes. We had family who were able to stay in both sides of the townhouse for a family reunion. The extras like the included breakfast ingredients for the first morning were very welcoming. Would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay
My family loved the cozy feel of the duplex. However, we did notice every time we ran a major water source(shower,dishwasher,washing machine) we noticed a terrible fishy smell permeating from the down stairs bathroom. We could not use this bathroom when we had a water source running. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

Great location and very clean!
We met our son that is stationed at Ft Polk at the house and spent the Christmas holiday. The house and location are fantastic and stocked to get us started. Located near many great restaurants and also a grocery store close by. We will definitely stay again when in the area.

Looked at several hotels with kitchen or kitchenette and could not match the price of this place. Had way more room and privacy. Excellent location in a quiet neighborhood with numerous food choices close by! I will stay there again if and when I am back in town.

Very clean and nice townhome
The townhome we rented was very nice and clean. It was centrally located and was within 10 minutes of every ball park and restaurant we went too. The owner went out of his way to guarantee a nice stay and the extra amenities were such a nice touch. We will definitely rent here again when we return to Lake Charles.

VERY NICE PLACE TO STAY-
THE UNIT HAD EVERYTHING WE NEEDED TO STAY 4 NIGHTS/5 DAYS. WE ATE CERTAIN MEALS AT THE UNIT FROM FOOD WE BROUGHT OR LEFTOVERS FROM WHERE WE ATE OUT AT PREVIOUSLY. THE SOUTHERN SPICE IS ON THE CORNER WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE AND THE UNIT IS CENTRALLY LOCATED TO ANYTHING YOU MAY NEED TO DO. VERY NICE QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE UNIT IS LIT UP GOOD SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR VEHICLE PARKED IN FRONT OF THE UNIT. THE OWNERS LEFT US SNACKS AND SOME BASICS IN THE FRIDGE. CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING THAT WASN''T GOOD ABOUT THE STAY. WOULD RECOMMEND THESE RENTALS ANYTIME.

Comforts of Home
The owners are very friendly and thoughtful. House is clean. Close location to McNeese and restaurants. My kids and I walked around the neighborhood multiple times. Feeling safe in a place you don't know is important! If ever visiting kids at college, just passing through, or in our case evacuating from a storm, I highly recommend this place.

Perfect
This is a wonderful unit for a stay of either a few days of several weeks. For us, we rented it for a month while visiting our son's family and it was perfect for us. It is quiet, well appointed, and Mike & Tonya have obviously thought through many little things that made the stay a pleasure. Examples: The personal amenities tray with a variety of toiletries; stocking the refrigerator with breakfast items so we had something the morning after a late arrival; nice fluffy pillows, towels and bedsheets that were high quality and comfortable. Having a washer/dryer helps SO MUCH when on an extended visit.
We really can't say enough good things and have absolutely no negatives to offer at all. We will be renting again whenever we visit our son in Lake Charles.

Very nice unit, very well appointed.
Starting with a hand written welcome note to the extras like coffee, snacks, toiletries, cinnamon rolls, eggs, sugar, etc. This unit was wonderful. Beds were very comfortable, towels were big and fluffy ( my wife made me say that). Just an all around nice homey place to stay. Would stay there again in a heartbeat. Unit was very, very clean.
Thanks Mike and Tanya

Perfect for our needs!
We were in town for a family gathering and needed more space than one home could provide. The duplex was perfect - only 2.5 miles from our daughter's home. It was clean, comfortable and stocked with just what we needed. It was so nice to have breakfast and snack foods available upon arrival, and I really appreciated there being detergent and fabric softener on site. We would definitely stay there again and have recommended this place to friends in Lake Charles who might have a need like ours - too big of a family for one house!
