About this property

Welcome to Boudreaux's Waterfront Motel

Boudreaux's Waterfront Motel offers a genuine coastal retreat nestled on the banks of Louisiana’s scenic shoreline in Golden Meadow. With a solid 3.8-star rating, this motel embraces the spirit of a fishing camp rather than a luxury resort, delivering an authentic experience for anglers and nature lovers alike.

The location is undeniably its strongest asset. Positioned at 24214 LA-1, the motel provides unparalleled access to prime fishing spots. Guests can launch their boats directly from the property and conveniently dock right beneath their rooms, fostering a seamless connection between lodging and the water. The presence of a well-lit covered area below the raised structure invites visitors to relax, fish, or gather after a day on the water. Complementing this are practical amenities such as tables, grills, and a dedicated fish cleaning station equipped with sinks and marble cutting boards—showing thoughtful attention to the needs of dedicated fishermen.

The motel has undergone considerable renovation, especially in parts rebuilt after Hurricane Ida. Visitors appreciate the fresh floors, new air conditioners, and comfortable beds that lend the rooms a welcoming freshness. Cleanliness and upkeep stand out as consistent themes, with friendly staff ensuring guests feel well accommodated. While Boudreaux’s Waterfront Motel does not provide the frills of upscale hotels—no restaurant, no pool, no fitness center—it compensates with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, pet-friendly policies, and free parking, aligning with the practical needs of its mainly fishing-centric clientele.

One cannot help but admire the resilience and community spirit reflected in the motel’s revival. It remains a beacon for visitors seeking an honest, laid-back fishing getaway. It’s the place where stories are swapped, new friendships are formed, and the lure of the water calls relentlessly. The proximity to local bait shops and eateries further enhances its appeal, making it as convenient as it is charming.

In essence, Boudreaux's Waterfront Motel is less about luxury and more about connection—to nature, to community, and to the simple joys of a waterfront escape. It invites guests to come prepared with an extra pillow or mattress topper if desired, but promises a stay rich in authenticity, tranquility, and access to some of Louisiana’s best fishing experiences.

We lost our camp in Grand Isle during Hurricane Ida. This was our first time back in the area to fish. Boudreaux's is excellently situated for fishing. It has a boat launch, and you can park your boat directly below your room. There are tables and grills underneath the raised motel. The area and the motel are still in recovery from Ida. We stayed in the 1/2 of the motel that has been renovated. The room was clean but small. There was a queen bed and a twin bed. The beds were raised, so storage of suitcases and bags was available underneath. The room had a microwave, a coffee pot (regular, not pod--bring coffee and filters), and a fridge/freezer combo. There was a t.v., but there was no streaming or cable service connected. The bathroom had a large tub/shower combo. The sink is in the main part of the room. There is a very rudimentary hanging/storage place for clothing. Bring hangers. The a/c/heater combo worked well. (We had to use both during our stay.) Overall, Boudreaux's has a lot to offer for fishermen who want easy water access and a no frills vacation.

Great place, awesome fishing and easy access for boat and auto. Very clean for being predominantly a fisherman’s stop. Bring an extra pillow and maybe a foam mattress for the bed. Room AC was very cold. Would definitely recommend this place for a fishing vacation. Can’t beat it!

It was great to see this place open and refurbished after Hurricane Ida. There is still a bit of rebuilding to do, but: • The rooms are very nice - new floors, new air conditioners, new beds, etc. It would be nice if they had a small shampoo in the room, but otherwise the rooms were perfect for a weekend getaway fishing with family. • The location is fantastic - being right next to a bait shop with ice and having your boat in the water ready to go in the mornings is a big plus. Overall, the renovations done so far are excellent and I can't wait to see when it is finished, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to stay while they are still improving and rebuilding. P.S. If management is reading this, please add a couple of new BBQ grills to the property.

We go here at least once a years and we love the fishing! It's not the Hampton Inn by no means, it's a fishing camp. You can dock your boat at your camp and park your truck right under your camp/room. We have never had a problem with other campers, most of the time your going to to make a new friend if your a friendly person as well. This is our absolute favorite fishing camp and we been to the all of its in Louisiana!

First time ever staying here and we’ll definitely be coming back. The rooms were nice, well cleaned and very cold. We absolutely loved how your able to dock and keep your boats/kayaks below your room in the water during your stay. They had a well lit covered area below the rooms where you could sit or fish. They had a fish cleaning area with a sink, marble cutting boards and hoses which was extremely convenient if you wanted to clean your catch while there. We had a great time and enjoyed our selves, can’t wait to go back. Definitely recommend this place, it’s a great place and the lady’s running it were super friendly and nice.

We stayed there in july 2021The place was very clean. The cleaning ladies are friendly and makes sure you have what you need. Can dock your and leave it in the water while you are there. Mr Terry’s bait shop is right there. They are very friendly people. They have a nice place to eat right down the road.
