We needed a place to land near New Orleans City Park while helping family move. This property was perfect for us, walkable to where we needed to be & caffeine at The Bean Gallery (great food too) a few blocks away. Loved the art, comfy beds, as well as easy communication with owner. We missed connecting with on site manager although we heard him a few times & were happy to know help was nearby. White noise machines were a nice touch in both bedrooms. Gladly made use of the full sized washer & dryer as moving can be a dusty & dirty endeavor. This shotgun is in a great neighborhood and we felt comfortable parking our U-Haul & small convoy in the street for an early departure. Would happily stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful and peaceful oceanfront cottage! The views from the deck, screened porch, and inside the cottage were beautiful, as well as the sounds of the surf. We saw dolphins, pelicans, ospreys, ducks, and other shore birds. The place is so well appointed - we didn't want to leave. We planned to cook in since the kitchen has everything you would need, but we ended up eating out in Panacea instead since the food was so good. The bike path is also so convenient and fun. Communication was excellent. We can't wait to return!

The Forgotten Coast

A cute and cozy cottage right on the beach. Perfect location. Fishing off the beach was great. Caught Spotted Trout, Whiting, Ladyfish and Sail Catfish. The cottage was spotless and nicely furnished and decorated. Definitely want to go back for another visit and hopefully stay for a couple of weeks. One week was just not enough.

We have stayed with Wendy at her beautiful cottage four times now. That should tell you everything you need to know. We are dog lovers and Wendy has the perfect set up. Large fenced in yard dog bed and even dog friendly quilts. It is rural so you have to be ready to truly relax.

Peaceful Paradise

The cottage was perfect for our first "empty nester" vacation after sending the kids off to college. Ms Wendy provided thoughtful welcome gifts (eggs, muffins, jam, wine!) that were very much appreciated as well as the dog bed and beautiful quilts to keep warm in the colder months. I'm already looking forward to our next visit.

This home with its incredible view was one of the most comfortable, cozy cottages we have ever stayed at. Extremely well stocked with anything you might need. The screened deck with rockers and a swing was a great place to watch both sunrises and sunsets. A beautiful, natural location to unwind! Wendy was a great host - appreciated all the extras!

There are so many wonderful things to say about this cottage! It was exactly like the listing but better. Wendy does an amazing job making it warm and cozy and feel like home as soon as you walk in. The place was super clean ,smelled amazing, and had everything we needed for our stay and more….the personal touches and surprises were so heartwarming and thoughtful. This is the best rental we have stayed in hands down. Wendy was great with communication and the entire week was easy and not stressful . The location was great! It was quiet, beautiful, and deserted in February…perfect. The sandbar was so much fun and we can’t wait to go back!.

Superb comfortable stay at perfect cottage

This was our first stay at the cottage but certainly will not be our last. This lovely home by the sea is superbly located a few steps from the beach. Wendy is a sweet owner who provided such an incredible stay and excellent communication. Our small family and doggie had a wonderful, relaxing time walking on beach, watching sharks and dolphins, and enjoying amazing sunrises and even more beautiful sunsets and starry nights. The cottage was super clean upon arrival, smelled fresh, and a lovely bottle of wine greeted us on counter. Wendy thoughtfully provided generous starter breakfast supplies. The kitchen was well appointed for cooking. The beds, sheets, and pillows soooo comfortable! Pet quilts and bed were provided for pooch’s comfort too. We adored the under area of home with rope lighting and shower, the fully enclosed yard, the million dollar views from deck and screened in porch. We just sat back and enjoyed EVERYTHING!

This was a perfect vacation until Helene made us leave. However, the house was great, the beach was great and the host was beyond great. She prepared us with every bit of information we could want and even kept up with the weather and mandates, so we didn't have to. I look forward to making up for our shortened vacation.

Home Away From Home

Wendy is one of the best host we have ever had in all of our years traveling together. We arrived to a remarkably clean cottage just steps away from the ocean. We immediately felt at home with the nice gestures of water, wine and breakfast items she had for us to enjoy. The cottage truly has a million dollar view. Our children and furr baby had the beat trip ever!!

Relaxing and quiet

It was the best beach vacation. House was cozy and quiet. The beach was almost empty. We would walk the sandbars far out at low tide. Never left the house just stocked the fridge and made all our meals at the house. House was clean and communication with Wendy was great. Our dogs enjoyed the front yard and their dog bed that was there.

Amazing host, beautiful home, steps to the beach

Wendy’s home was one of the best vacation rentals we have ever stayed in, so much so, that we requested to stay an extra night. The property was immaculate, well stocked and has been really well cared for. It is located on the quieter end of Alligator Point, which we really enjoyed, with a short walk to the beach. Wendy was a great host and we would love to stay at her home again soon!

Hidden Gem

This is our second stay at Miller High Life cottage and it was just as wonderful as the first time. Wendy does a phenomenal job preparing the house for guests as well as offering a bottle Of wine and food starters. The location on the beach hosts the perfect backdrop for photos and is close to the sandbar my children and I enjoy exploring. When we weren’t on the beach we were sitting on the back deck or screen porch. There is also a sitting area under the house with hammock, picnic table and rope lighting. If you travel with a pet this property has a secure fenced in area and gate on the porch. This is one of my FAVORITE places to visit to unwind and recharge… a true hidden gem.

Long Weekend

I almost gave less stars for the accuracy of the listing because the pictures don’t do this place justice! It is adorable and though on the smaller side, still very spacious. The screened in porch overlooking the ocean was our favorite place to spend time when we weren’t on the beach! Yes the water is dark so if you are looking to snorkel, you likely won’t be happy but the beach is clean, has nice white sand & plenty of sea treasures to be found. 10/10 for a laid back, quiet getaway! We enjoyed every second of our trip
