Nature, Comfort, and Calm – All at the Bayou’s Edge

Welcome to Retreat on the Bayou, your peaceful canal-front getaway tucked in a quiet cul-de-sac. This beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers a cozy, laid-back atmosphere with just the right touch of luxury and coastal flair.

Inside, you’ll find an open-concept layout with soaring vaulted ceilings, stylish finishes, and everything you need for a comfortable stay — from a fully stocked kitchen with brand-new appliances to plush furnishings that feel like home. Whether you're cooking dinner or just kicking back with a glass of wine, the space is designed for easy living.

When you’re ready to explore, you’ll find charming waterfront restaurants just minutes away, perfect for enjoying fresh seafood and sunset views.

Perfect for couples, small families, or remote workers looking for a serene setting, Retreat on the Bayou offers the ideal mix of comfort, charm, and Old Florida relaxation.

The host of property are Truly a blessing, they helped us super last minute on more then one occasion and I can’t thank them enough for that! The property it self is great, conveniently located to a lot, you can tell the house stays maintained and taken care of from top to bottom. There was a slight issue with water heater which was fixed and working within hours of notifying them. Truly can not recommend a better place to stay then “The Retreat on the Bayou”
