Beau Chene – Waterfront Retreat Near the French Quarter

Experience the best of both worlds at Beau Chene—a spacious waterfront retreat in Slidell offering easy access to the excitement of New Orleans while providing the comfort, space, and tranquility that are difficult to find within the city itself. Located in the beautiful waterfront community of Eden Isle, this large home is ideal for family vacations, group getaways, fishing trips, festivals, sporting events, reunions, and extended stays.

While many visitors dream of staying near the French Quarter, the reality is that large whole-home accommodations in New Orleans are increasingly limited. Beau Chene offers a unique alternative: a large waterfront home with room for everyone, private outdoor space, boat access, and convenient interstate access to the heart of New Orleans. In approximately 25–30 minutes, you can be walking the historic streets of the French Quarter, enjoying live jazz on Bourbon Street, dining in world-famous restaurants, or attending one of the city's countless festivals and events.

The fully equipped kitchen offers everything needed to prepare meals for your group. Whether you're brewing coffee before a day in the French Quarter, preparing fresh Gulf seafood, or enjoying a family dinner together, you'll find the kitchen well-stocked for your needs.

The dining areas provide ample seating for shared meals, celebrations, and memorable evenings together.

Large bedrooms offer comfortable accommodations for families and groups, while multiple bathrooms help make mornings and evenings convenient for everyone.

Waterfront Living

One of Beau Chene's most distinctive features is its waterfront setting.
