Cissie by the Sea 2.0 - Newly Remodeled w/Best Wharf at Hebert's Landing!

Cissie by the Sea welcomes you to Big Lake, Louisiana!

A recent guest called our camp a "diamond" and we hope you'll agree! Bring the family to enjoy great fishing and beautiful sunsets at this two bedroom, two bath cottage at Big Lake. This camp has one of the best wharfs in the region, featuring a boat slip, fish cleaning station, two LED fishing lights, and an incredible upper deck where you can enjoy beautiful views and get your tan on. "Cissie by the Sea" sleeps up to eight people and offers great space for entertaining. The screened in porch offers additional seating and dining table. Just 20 minutes from Lake Charles, you'll feel like you've escaped to another world not far from the Creole Nature Trail.

There are two trundle beds in one bedroom (sleeps 4) and twin beds in the 2nd bedroom. The queen sofa bed sleeps two.

Weber charcoal grill, automatic coffee pot (sweetners provided) and lots of kitchen amenities will help you enjoy your relaxing time on the lake. Enjoy our board games, kayaks and a paddle board available, too!

We are proud to welcome you to Cissie by the Sea, which is fully remodeled after Hurricanes Laura and Delta in 2020. We are back and ready to have some fun, so come be a part of our new chapter! The camp gets its name from local legend Cissie McLeod, who also happened to be our mother. We aim to provide a place your whole family can enjoy, just as ours has for decades! Fish on!

Weekend Stay

The house and property are well kept and clean. It has a nice pier that extends out into Calcasieu Lake. The pier has electricity, running water, and lights that can be turned on to fish at night. Both the kids and adults enjoyed a relaxing weekend on Calcasieu Lake and near by areas.

Great vacation rental

We had a great time and the rental is exactly as described. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and bake and the dock is lit at night so makes for fun night fishing.

Big Lake stay at Cissie

Nice camp right on the water. Beautiful dock and sun/sunset deck, screened porch, well-equipped kitchen and living area. Booked a fishing trip out of Heberts Landing, a short walk away, so convenient.

Stay Cissie by the Sea

We enjoyed our stay at the Cissie by the sea this past weekend 5/16-5/18. Everything stated in the listing is correct. the property was perfect for what we needed and wanted. Our only downfall was, there was no bait shop close by (Not Sara's fault). Make sure you get your live shrimp prior to arriving. The fishing was on fire even with Frozen shrimp and artificial. We will be back for future stays.

Great Place to Stay

Very spacious and clean property. My buddies and I go on a fishing trip every summer, and although this year was a mostly a bust because of no tidal movement in Big Lake, we still had a very relaxing and comfortable trip. Amenities were all there, including large back deck and very nice pier.

Sisters Trip

We loved staying at this quaint, waterfront cottage. The single beds were nice as we didn’t have to share beds. There were plenty of linens, blankets, towels, and toiletries. We enjoyed the large kitchen and appreciated having all the cookware and dishes available. And sunsets were the absolute best on the screened in porch

Much needed long weekend!

Needing a weekend away, our family rented this camp and was more than pleased! The renting and check-in process was easy, and the camp was immaculate. We thoroughly enjoyed the open kitchen and living room layout and the back screened in porch is great! The weather was beautiful, and the sunsets did not disappoint! We did get lucky fishing and crabbing off the wharf, loved the time spent outside. Our family will definitely rent again.

Great place for family reunions!

Our second year renting 'Cissies by the Sea.' Loved the opportunity being with family and enjoy fishing even if Mother Nature wouldn't cooperate as much as we wanted. Just disappointed we couldn't use the boat slip as we did the year before since the neighbor's boat had occupied the slip. All in all we LOVE 'Cissie by the Sea' and look forward to making memories next year!

Great views of the Lake!

The house was great! We totally enjoyed the lake views from the house with all those windows in the back and the screened porch. The dock was awesome to fish from with the big lights at night and the 2nd floor deck was fun to just chill on and watch the sunset. We had some rain that came in and stayed with us too but the house was setup perfect to enjoy family time and just relax while it poured rain outside. Lots of board games in the closet! The kitchen was great and stocked up with everything you need to cook. The owner is awesome and we had great communication with her. We will definitely be back someday. Loved it!
