COME ON OVER


There are places that seem to beckon to us, inviting us to discover their secrets, share in their magic and make them our own. Grand Isle is such a place, and at its center stands Gale’s By The Sea on Judge Adam Lane. Privately owned and operated by Linda Corley, the bungalow is the perfect retreat to relax, recreate, and revel in your own discovery of this extraordinary community.


Every American who has fantasized about living on an island can relax. There's a place much closer than the Mediterranean or the Caribbean where you can enjoy the sub-tropical mild climate without changing currency or learning another language. Grand Isle, some 60 miles from New Orleans, has attracted visitors for decades. The island attracts many day-trippers who spend a few hours then head home. But it's possible to spend many more days if you consider rentals. And of course you can always purchase your own camp, beach house, island home - any way you say it - you will enjoy this laid back lifestyle. People who have been coming here since they were kids want a piece of it to enjoy and pass down to their kids. So they buy and fulfill their dreams of coastal island living. That's what I did.

Gale's By The Sea is located down Ludwig Lane then left on Judge Adam Lane behind the Catholic Church. A very safe and quiet neighborhood, the property is located on an oak ridge in the center of the island, approximately 3 blocks from the Bay and 4 blocks from the beach. My island bungalow is decorated in a Caribbean style with lots of blues, yellows, oranges, and reds. The wrap around deck is a great place to sit and relax, have a drink from the Tiki Bar, and swing your cares away on comfortable hammock swings. The space is also ideal for reading or outdoor dining. The property is home to 17 live oak trees that are starting to bush out again after a long recovery from the salt water intrusion caused by Hurricane Katrina.

There is parking for 2 mid-sized vehicles only. It is also possible to park a small boat and trailer under the camp, leaving enough room for one other vehicle.


The bungalow is small but very cozy. At only 800 square feet it provides a kitchen with large snack bar open to the living room which contains a sofa, recliner, TV, and electric fireplace. The fireplace can be enjoyed year round. Just turn the heater switch off and the flames will give you hours of pleasure without heat. There is a master suite located off the living room and has a full bath with shower. The second bedroom has a full bath with tub/shower. There is a small utility room with washer and dryer.

Providing another 400 square feet of living area, the deck is my favorite place to relax.  Every season the view looking out from the deck and over the treetops delivers complete serenity.  It's just like living in a tree house with the sounds of nature all around you.  This island retreat has a special place in my heart and I spend most of my days working to improve the property.  I have put a lot of sweat into the improvements I've made in the last 2 years and most of my savings as well.  That is why I have decided to rent my island home in order to earn extra income to continue to make the improvements I feel will make it even more comfortable for me.

This is my home and I live 4 days out of the week at this location.  Renters are asked to respect the personal belongings within the home as I would not be able to remove them each time I rent the property.

I hope you enjoy your stay and consider coming back again.

Sincerely,

Linda Corley
