NOLA Luxury | Heated Pool | Private Hot Tub

KathrynRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Sam, Max, and Nicole are very attentive and open to quickly addressing any issues, which I appreciated. They very helpfully accommodated an early check-in and late check-out, which was great for our large group. The location is suburban, but 15 minute Ubers (even XLs) are very affordable to go to the French Quarter/other areas. Nearby is Lagniappe Bakery, Bearcat CBD, and other amazing food. Magazine St was also nearby and my favorite place to walk (as opposed to the French Quarter). There were minor issues with the hot tub, where we could not start do medium-high jet pressure and there was some dust on the bottom, which we alerted the owners of. In addition, if you have others staying at separate airbnbs, beware of the 10 person limit to occupancy (not just sleeping, but visiting as well). The shared pool, bedrooms, bathrooms, and living room were really the icing on the cake. Overall, amazing airbnb for a great price!

Less than 30 minutes to french quarter and WW2 museum, 1.25 from Laura Plantation. we appreciated being out of the hustle of the city with walmart nearby for resupply and forgotten items, etc. yet, simple to get back into city.

Uptown Historic Compound | Private Pool & Hot Tub

ChrisRating, 5 stars2 months ago
My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Historic Compound. The house is huge, has a great layout, and so much historical character. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The location is excellent, as it is close to restaurants, coffee shops, and the street car. My children loved the pool and the hot tub. The host was friendly and responsive. We highly recommend the property.

Pelican Pier Beach House on Lake Catherine

MichaelRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We loved our stay at Pelican Pier! Everything on the property was as beautiful as the pictures, all amenities were exactly as outlined, and there were many thoughtful touches offered by the host to encourage maximum enjoyment of the waterfront property. We have 4 boys (ages 8-14) and they loved the dock. We caught crabs, went fishing, and played on the small sand beach. It was too cold and windy to kayak but it was very tempting. The house has just enough common space and very nice bedroom arrangements for a family. Bringing an extra adult couple would have also worked. The house is not in a populated area - which we felt was part of the appeal! Slidell is close enough for quick trips. Downtown New Orleans is a 45 min drive but reasonable for day trips. We would definitely consider this property again if going to NOLA again.

1903 Queen Anne Beauty, Registration 23-XSTR-12136

AlainaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This was our second stay with Nancy, once again wonderful. Her place is beautiful and clean, very charming, and she is very responsive. Our group experienced some travel delays due to an unexpected snow storm, and Nancy was accommodating of changing schedules and proactive in communicating about the local impact from the storm and what that might mean for our visit. The location is peaceful, an easy car ride to the French quarter, and there are also several cute places - a bakery, a cafe, and a wine bar - within easy walking distance. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in New Orleans.

Your guide to New Orleans

All About New Orleans

Enveloping the undulating Mississippi River in southeastern Louisiana, New Orleans is one of the United States’ liveliest and most distinctive cities, best known for its ubiquitous jazz music, Creole and Cajun food, and larger-than-life festivals, especially Mardi Gras.

The city has fostered a swirl of cultures — French, African, Native, Spanish, Southern — since its founding in 1718, and New Orleans’ cuisines, architecture, and entertainment are as diverse as the city itself. You don’t have to go far to find musicians spilling onto the street, a packed theatre, or the brassy tones of trumpets filling the air. New Orleans’ distinctive food is an equally big draw, from sugar-coated beignets and chicory coffee to gumbo, po-boys, and jambalaya.

You can explore streets draped in Spanish moss by hopping aboard one of the city’s iconic streetcars or cruising up the Mississippi River on a paddleboat. Head to the French Quarter for its balcony-wrapped buildings and near-constant festive air, or soak up the relaxed, near-subtropical vibe of the pretty Garden District, home to historic mansions and quiet, shady streets.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in New Orleans

The most popular time to book vacation homes in New Orleans is typically the spring, when the weather is mild and rainfall is at its lowest. This is when the city hosts many of its events and festivals, including Mardi Gras — which essentially runs from January to March — and the country’s best-known jazz festival in April. Summer in New Orleans can get very hot and humid, and afternoon thunderstorms are common. However, if you don’t mind the humidity, this can be a quieter time to take in the city’s attractions.

Fall brings cooler, drier weather conditions, making this an ideal time to wander along the streets and exploring the surrounding cities and natural attractions. Winter is characterized by atmospheric Christmas lights and festive culinary traditions like Réveillon dinners — a twist on a traditional French feast, served on Christmas Eve. Though it gets cold at night here, it rarely snows, and if you’ve layered up, you can still enjoy the outdoors.


Top things to do in New Orleans

New Orleans Jazz Museum

Learn why New Orleans is the home of jazz at this lively interactive museum set in the historic former Mint building. The museum contains more than 25,000 artifacts, including instruments belonging to famous musicians, sheet music, and photographs. All-ages musical concerts are hosted here almost every night of the year, and the museum includes a performance centre where musicians can come to record and broadcast.

Woldenberg Park

A popular spot to walk, cycle, or simply watch ships sail along the Mississippi River, Woldenberg Park is located at the water’s edge, close to the heart of the French Quarter. Paved walkways wind through the green landscape, passing many public art installations. You’ll often find street performers and musicians showcasing their talents in the park’s outdoor amphitheatre.

French Quarter

The action-packed, energetic heart of the city, the French Quarter is where New Orleans’ dining and nightlife come alive. It’s also the oldest part of the city — the entire district is a National Historic Landmark — fusing historic architecture with hip bars and galleries. Wander along Bourbon Street to find jazz clubs, storied cocktail bars, and some of the city’s best Creole cuisine.
