Vacation rentals in Marsh Island

I had the pleasure of staying at Tensas Tower, and the images don’t do it justice. Paul, the host, was excellent—responsive and thoughtful. The location is perfect, within walking distance of great spots, yet feels private. The architectural design is stunning, blending industrial and nautical elements. Multiple balconies offer plenty of seating and are positioned perfectly for sunrise and sunset views. Inside, the space is larger than expected, with a smart layout, great surround sound, and a record collection. The bed is incredibly comfortable, and the shower—with five heads and great pressure—is a hidden gem. Now, the staircase is small and steep, but that’s part of the architectural charm. I recommend bringing a small suitcase or soft bag for easier transport. That said, the space is well thought out, making for an unforgettable stay. If you’re looking for a unique getaway that blends comfort, style, and great design, the Tensas Tower is absolutely worth it.

We loved our stay at Down da Bayou Lodge! Its location is perfect. You feel like you’re in the country but town is just a little ways from you. There’s plenty of things to do nearby but the best part of it is you can fish and crab right in the canal behind the house. There was also plenty of wildlife to see right there too. Jeremy and Stephanie are amazing hosts. They sent detailed instructions and expectations the day before check-in. Once we were there, we had questions and they responded right away. We will definitely return! Thank you so much for an amazing week!!!

Wonderful host and a great place to stay

A magical retreat we’ll never forget❤️ What an unbelievable stay! From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a hidden gem designed with love and care. The kids were all smiles—kayaking, fishing, kicking the soccer ball across the open yard, and playing cornhole under the cozy covered space beneath the cabin. One of the most peaceful moments was watching the wood ducks glide across the water at sunset, gently landing on their little house. Nature truly put on a show for us. Inside, the cabin was a dream—warm, inviting, and full of thoughtful touches. The sound of rain dancing on the tin roof was its own lullaby. The coffee bar was a delight each morning, and soaking in the garden tub with bath bombs felt like a mini spa day. Each room told a story, lovingly decorated with nods to local treasures—like the Tabasco Factory and Jungle Gardens on Avery Island, and Rip Van Winkle Gardens on Jefferson Island. It felt like the spirit of the region was wrapped into every detail

This Bayou Teche cabin was a precious as it looked. It was so nice sitting on the quaint porch in a rocker, drinking coffee in the morning and looking out to the bayou! It was such a peaceful place and Jena was great! It was such a comfortable place to stay for a few days and so convenient to town.

Very comfortable clean and quiet stay highly recommend

The beds were very comfortable with lots of extra blankets and linens. Janna was incredible helpful and responsible. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thanks!

This was such a fabulous stay. We brought our parents, ages 82, 89, and 90. Our children met us there during the day. What precious memories as 3 generations fished, visited and of course ate! This stay provided the opportunity to sit back and cherish time together. The hosts were so accommodating, answering all questions and concerns. We will definitely return and recommend
