"Almost Amaris" a paradise within a paradise!! Update after Hurricane IDA : All repairs are complete and the camps are fully functional with Internet.So my brother n law and I have been spearfishing out of cypermort point since we were teenagers and when we discovered grandisle we thought we found Paradise. The only problem was, Everytime we tried to bring our wives they were always reluctant to come. saying "there's no nice places up there" I guess after you here something long enough you decide to do something... so, boom "Almost Amaris" was built, a paradise within a paradise!! no more excuses.... righttt??? well now it's "the water's to dirty". Well I'ma sit out on that one fellas ??... Anyhow This luxurious hand crafted 4 bedroom 3 bath paradise offers; granite slab counter tops, stainless appliances, WIFI access, 55'' LCD flat screen TV with cable access, Boiling pot for craw-fish boils and a master suite. It has a total of 11 beds; 3 queens 2 fulls and 6 twins, so sleeping your pirate crew won't be an issue. You will have access to everything but the shed downstairs and the closet off the pantry. There's nothing to see in there anyway, just a bunch of dusty old gold and silver from Jean Laffites pirate ship. ....... Just kidding!!! but for real though.... if you look from the balcony towards the far end of the island you will see a large brick fort (fort Livingston). This is actually a fort built by Jean Laffites pirates back in 1840s . If you have access to a boat you can visit it. It's pretty neat, we went a few times. ..... and yes, Unfortunately, our boat is not of access... unless there's some gold or silver in exchange, of course. If you need something I live in Lafayette so I may be of no help... but I know a few Macgyvers that work on the island. Some people ask us why we named the camp "Almost Amaris". Well the name Amaris means "promised by God" but please, don't be to quick to judge. We had the name picked out before we knew the meaning really..... So If you were at our camp gazing off the back porch you would have sites of beautiful luxurious private homes that belong to a high end gated community called "Amaris" .. it's the neighborhood that we almost belong too ?? Idk if there's Uber out there. But if there is, your driver may show up in a boat and if he isn't in a boat, then he's definitely pulling one. We are right across the street from the state park, and all though it may cost a few bucks to get in, you have a pond with fishing piers and miles of beaches. unfortunately "the water is still dirty" there too..
