Island Highrise was a beautiful home to get outside of the city ‘s hustle and bustle. We were able to enjoy fishing and the crab traps. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises. The kitchen had every we needed. Our family of 5 enjoyed every minute! Tip: since the home is about 30 minutes from downtown New Orleans, we found that we tended to stay out all day instead of running home to freshen up before night time.
