Captain Doogie's Camp, A Fisherman's Paradise.
We had a great stay!!! Perfect for fun, peaceful family time. We love to fish and the guys love to duck hunt so the boat slips were perfect! Specks and Tee Wee’s had delicious food and friendly service. The place was perfect for our stay and Danielle was super easy to book and communicate with. Very quick response time. Thanks Danielle!!

3 bedroom/2 bath with Water front views
Amazing place to stay! We are driving to visit family and needed a place to stay for one night and this place was perfect! Definitely going to be our halfway stop and stay every time!

Canal Breeze Apartment - 30 mins. to New Orleans
When I walked in, I was immediately surprised about the amount of space this place provided, I loved the layout plenty of room. Bathrooms where very clean, kitchen has an open concept so plenty of room to cook your family a meal if you chose too. I like the balcony out back that leads to a water source, nice place to sit and water the sunrise in the morning. Very quiet area not far from Walmart and local restaurants. I would recommend if you are looking for peace and quiet.

New Orleans Area Waterfront Home 4BR W/ Dock 116
Loved our stay here with the family. Lisa was very accommodating and we enjoyed our stay with some good fishing ❤️

Lakefront-Marina in back! Get-a-way in New Orleans
We were a group of five adults. The place and surrounding area was beautiful and very comfortable. We did rent a car as the area was not easily walkable to the French Quarter or Bourbon street. Although there were restaurants nearby, many were across the marina so we drove. The house itself was clean, comfortable and lovely. The bunk beds posed a bit of a problem as the top bunk was not comfortable. But the trundle was comfortable enough ( but not terrible convenient). We had a great time in New Orleans and everyone agreed that the home was a great choice.

Camp Bayou Life in Shell Beach
Lesley is a super responsive host! Her place has all the creature comforts of home plus beautiful views of the rich flora and fauna all around! Y'all, I cooked so much and didn't have to worry about any pots, pans and/or utensils! Emphasis on Creature because expect to see lots of them! I love that so I was in heaven! Be sure to bring your favorite bug spray when enjoying the outdoors. Getting to the fishing dock was a 45 sec walk that I did as often as I could! The bait shop is just a few min walk away as well. We were there during some super windy days and I remember letting the swaying rock me to sleep...after I got used to it. One thing we did find that is no fault to Lesley in the least is that it can be difficult to get rides into and back out of NOLA via ANY ride app. Consider renting a vehicle if you plan to go in and out of the city. Otherwise, earlier scheduling of rides should help. Thanks for letting us stay at your place, Lesley! You're a Saint <3

Family Perfect Waterfront Home | Pet Friendly
Awesome stay! We had a great time around New Orleans! The house was clean and pretty amazing for some Europeans who are not used to having their homes on poles, quite a thing to experience! I fully recommend this house to any families with kids or families who want to have some peace while still being close enough to the big American cities to explore. The hosts are amazing and regularly checking in on you if you are doing okay. This was my first time as an airb&b’er and I thoroughly enjoyed it, it was amazing!

Studio Apartment in Garage - St. Bernard, LA

East Camptons - Lakefront with private pier & dock
Met family and spent Thanksgiving together here. It was absolutely home away from home! The house was so well stocked with everything! Fantastic location and breathtaking views. Easy drive into town to stores and great local restaurants.

Bijou on the Bayou- Waterfront Home
Nick was very responsive, friendly and accommodating. The home was cozy and clean. The property and bayou scenery was peaceful.

Cajun Saint Outdoors - Cozy Camp Over The Water
The house was very clean and the boat ramp and fish cleaning station was nice. 2nd time staying there and will be back

The Purple Perch - Lakehouse
Beautiful place to stay! Had such a wonderful time, can’t wait to come back!! :)

Family Friendly Waterfront Home | Private backyard
David was a great host! The home was as described. Accommodating for my group. Great views surrounding and private. He had great recommendations for Mardi Gras. Communication was great as well for any questions we had. Will definitely have this on my list for a rebook in the future. Thank you for having us 🥰.

Modern Pop-culture 2bd/2ba Condo
Great place, just as described. Everyone is right- the bed is amazing. Plenty of towels, tp, paper towels. Very, very clean on a quiet street. Even though we didn't get to use them, it's really cool that there are 2 electric scooters available to use. Very thoughtful!The only thing missing was no bakeware and no mixing bowls, though there are a couple of pots, skillets and a slow cooker, which is nice. Would definitely stay here again!

Gator Den- Waterfront 2 bedroom kitchen /bath
We had a great time, being on the water was lovely, the place was very clean. Hosts are very quick to respond, even helped me find a store location since I am not familiar with the area. Definitely a place we will come back to for future visits!

Le Cadet: Pied-à-terre | | Steps to Tulane
Barbara was an excellent host, with detailed info on checking in & quick response time to the few questions we had. I also really appreciated that she sent a quick message the morning after our check in, just to see if there was anything we needed. The listing is exactly as pictured—no surprises—and the neighborhood is quiet and conveniently located.

2 Bdrm suite in historic Bayou St. John shotgun
Rachel is a fantastic host! We were greeted with a King cake, pralines, and chips, as well as stocked water, beverages, and milk. She also provided great recommendations for restaurants and parades! The location was perfect with kids. Near the City Park and close enough to the French Quarter, but not a part of the hustle and bustle.

The Magic Cottage - let your worries disappear!
The house is beautiful inside and out. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. Everything was spotless and organized. The backyard is a great place to sit and relax. The neighborhood is beautiful and very quiet. Magazine street is a very short walk if you need anything. Lots of neighborhood restaurants are walking distance. Julia is lovely. We hope to return soon.

Mardi Gras 2BR Hidden Gem⚜️Close to Superdome
We had a great stay overall! While we encountered a significant issue on our first night, the host's immediate and effective response turned things around completely. The rest of our stay was wonderful - clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. We'd definitely book again.

Montegut Manor | | Bywater | | Walk Everywhere
We loved our time staying here while exploring the Bywater neighborhood, easy access to the French Quarter as well. The home is beautiful and prefect for 4 couples and laid out well. Alleshia was very responsive and helpful during our stay. Recommend eating at the Fradys you can get! Good location for the Krewe du Veux parade.

Marigny Hideout IV - One block from Frenchmen
The Marigny Hideout was the perfect place for a couple’s weekend getaway. It was charming, cozy, and peaceful despite being near all the action. Anne has it stocked with everything you need for it to be a home away from home and she was very quick to respond and pleasant to interact with. The little balcony and courtyard were adorable and looked to be a perfect place for having coffee and breakfast (be sure to grab coffee and pastries from the lovely bakery around the corner), but the rainy weather kept us from taking advantage of it. It’s easy enough to walk over to the French Quarter, a quick Uber to any of the sights you’d want to visit around town and, of course, steps away from the live music on Frenchmen street. I’d stay here again and again!

Pet Friendly Maison du Madison
We had an absolutely fantastic stay with our two fur babies. One of the most pet friendly and welcoming places we could have possibly stayed. Friendly, responsive hosts. Local recommendations. A very comfy bed and a charming space. What more could you ask for?

Rebel Manor || Canal Streetcar || Superhost MGMT
Alicia was a great host—friendly, responsive, and incredibly welcoming. The location couldn’t be better—perfect for catching parades, hopping on the streetcar, and indulging in some of the best local food. The space itself is clean, spacious, and just right for storing all the beads you’ll collect during Mardi Gras! We had a fantastic stay and highly recommend both this host and location.

Your guide to New Orleans
Introduction
New Orleans offers a round-the-clock festive spirit 12 months a year. Live music, particularly jazz, rings through streets lined with buildings dating back to the early 1800s. That’s when the city’s trademark Creole architecture, a mix of influences from the French, Spanish, and Caribbean was developed, adding a distinctly New Orleans touch. While the lively French Quarter gets all the attention, also explore the Marigny and Bywater, which have a more artsy vibe, and Audubon — surrounding Audubon Park — which is known as the University District thanks to Tulane and Loyola Universities. If you’re looking to visit more of the New Orleans metro area, Metairie is just to the northwest, Chalmette about 10 miles east, and Slidell about 34 miles northeast.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in New Orleans
February through May is prime time to stay in one of NoLA’s vacation rentals, when highs are in the mid-60s to mid-80s Fahrenheit and lows hover between the 50s to 70s — it’s also perfectly timed to celebrations such as Mardi Gras and the French Quarter Festival. December and January are also pleasant months — with the bonus of fewer crowds — when highs are in the 60s and lows typically don't fall below the mid-40s. Summer and fall can be more challenging, as stifling heat, mixed with humidity, reaches the 90s. June usually has the highest precipitation, and hurricane season lasts from June through November.
Top things to do in New Orleans
French Quarter
The legendary Bourbon Street is the most popular street in this historic neighborhood, and indulgence is a way of life here. But the district is also known for its majestic Jackson Square (where local artisans often display their work in an open-air market), jazz clubs, steamboat cruises, and fresh beignets with chicory coffee.
Garden District
A streetcar ride away from the French Quarter is a visual juxtaposition to the French Quarter — a chill suburban neighborhood dominated by grand mansions. Also stop at Lafayette Cemetery No. 1, which houses the tombs of early settlers from Ireland and Germany, or opt for one of the city’s cemetery tours to learn more about the history of this great city.
Mardi Gras World
Experience New Orleans’ most famous festival any time of year at this facility, where 80 percent of the Mardi Gras floats are built.
