20mi from Houma · 1 sitePelican's View Lodge sits suspended over the water in the quiet fishing community of Cocodrie, Louisiana — one of the most productive inshore and offshore fishing destinations on the entire Gulf Coast. If you're coming to South Louisiana to fish, this is where you want to be based.
The lodge sleeps 10 across 2 bedrooms and a loft. Bedroom 1 has a king bed. Bedroom 2 has two twin-over-full bunk beds. The loft has two additional twin-over-full bunk beds. There are 2.5 bathrooms. Every stay includes fresh linens, towels, and a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, coffee maker, and Keurig.
What sets PVL apart from every other rental in the area is the private boat launch and 2 private boat slips right on the property. No trailer lines. No crowded public ramps. You pull up, launch, and you're in open water in minutes — a massive advantage when the bite is on at first light or tournament weekends are filling the public launches. We also have abundant trailer parking on premises, night fishing lights, a fish cleaning station with running water, an outdoor freezer to bag and freeze your catch, and upper and lower screened decks to watch the shrimp boats drift by at sunset.
For cooking your catch: charcoal BBQ grill, boiling pot, and fish frying pot with burner are all on site. Bring your own propane.
The waters around Cocodrie offer world-class speckled trout, redfish, and flounder inshore, plus red snapper, amberjack, and yellowfin tuna offshore. Local charter captains are available — we can connect you with the best guides in the area. Or bring your own boat and run your own program.
Located at 7464 Edgewater Drive, Chauvin, LA 70344 — about 1 hour southwest of New Orleans and 45 minutes from Houma. Book direct at pelicansviewlodge.com or through VRBO and Airbnb.
