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!

The perfect Staycation

We are from Lake Charles and chose to do a staycation this year with a new baby! This camp was the perfect place for our little family. We enjoyed hanging out and cooking in the yard near the water while the kids played, night fishing off the dock, fishing in Big Lake, and cooling off inside while still having the perfect view of the lake! We hope to make our staycation a tradition!

Great location

My son and I had a great stay at this property. It is very clean and well equipped. The lighted pier is very well constructed, convenient and a perfect fishing platform. Unfortunately, when we were there the fish were not biting, but we had fun regardless.

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.

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.

Wonderful Spring Break

Thank you so much for sharing your fishing cabin with our family. It was so nostalgic like being back on the bayou of our childhood. We really enjoyed fishing and crabbing off the awesome pier. Unfortunately, the weather was uncooperative for boating, but we didn't mind. My favorite time was prepping dinner while watching perfect sunsets on the back porch. We will definitely be booking again soon for summer!

Great cozy place set up for fishing!

This was my second stay here with friends and family. I hope for many more in the future! The house is cozy and modern. Easy 10 minute drive to a little local grocery store. The dock is set up nicely for fishing. Boat launch is about 100 yards down the road. It's really a lovely little house and the hosts were extremely accommodating.
