Starfish Room #1
We absolutely loved our four nights' stay to celebrate our anniversary and husband's retirement! We chose this place after looking at dozens of possibilities and SO happy we picked the right one for such a special occasion! Beautiful corner view, relaxing living space, comfortable bed, and the shower had the best water pressure! The deck was great for watching the sunrise and unwinding after a day out. Furniture was cozy for watching TV and relaxing, and the kitchen had everything we needed for fixing snacks and drinks. We really enjoyed breakfast at nearby Roberts Place Cafe and coffee at Cat Island Coffeehouse. The neighborhood is safe and walkable, and it was nice to feel like we actually lived there and not just staying someplace.

Coral Room #6
We really enjoyed the condo! It was clean and had a well stocked kitchen to cook in. The towels and linens were quality. We spent a lot of time on the balcony enjoying the beautiful views. We also really enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants and the beach. Check-in was simple and we were able to begin enjoying our vacation right away. The only small glitch was the unit was advertised with a "Free Coupon for Baachus on the beach at Check In" and we did not receive this.

Water front modern unit
Cherish is a great host, very helpful and accommodating. Home was really cozy and comfy. I would stay again! Thank you Cherish.

Pearl Room #5
Everything was amazing honestly. Felt very homey and very clean. I loved the amazing view from the balcony & the nice comfortable beds with spotless bathrooms. I will most definitely be booking again .

Relaxing 2 Bedroom with Pond Views
Dog friendly was our focus for our trip, and this place delivered. Potty breaks were easy and convenient. Beds were comfortable. Upstairs neighbors were very loud at all hours, but I travel with a sleep machine that cancelled our most of it. Highly recommend getting one. Parking and checking in instructions could be better but was easy to get in and out once we figured it out.

Conch Room #3
We had a great time during our short trip, the place was absolutely beautiful & it was so peaceful.

#641 2 Bed condo at Inn By the Sea on the Beach!
The condo was clean and spacious. It was a nice location with good restaurants near by. We are retired and wanted a place that was peaceful and quiet. The beach is right in front of the building. White sand and plenty of places to walk on the beach. The manager was responsive when we had questions. Check in and out was easy.

Studio by the Beach
I like to stay here when I participate in the Art in the Pass Art festival. It is a very comfy space and walking distance to the venue. The bed is comfortable and the space is clean. The price is very reasonable and it is very close to the beach.

Moon 201 - Crescent Moonset Suite - 1BR - 1 Bath
Gradham was absolutely awesome and amazing definitely an above and beyond host who was super helpful and welcoming definitely plan on staying here everytime i come in new Orleans

Bayou Retreat just 25 min to the French Quarter
We had the best time experiencing the natural and urban cultures in the bayou! Henry’s place is amazing, clean, comfortable, spacious, tastefully decorated and fun! Crabbing, fishing, hot tubbing, cooking and relaxing in…and venturing into NOLA was so easy with so much to explore …and a day beach trip to Bay St. Louis was a nice surprise with gorgeous and clean white sandy beaches for miles and a cute seaside town. What a gem of a spot! A perfect blend of relaxation and exploration! The perfect family adventure!

East Camptons - Lakefront with private pier & dock
We stayed at the East Camptons for 6 days, would definitely come back! It was very clean and had all the amenities we could ask for. The location was perfect, in between NO and Slidell. My husband fished off the docks and used the crab traps. I had coffee on the dock or deck every morning to see the beautiful sunrise. The fish factory next door was somewhat noisy but from previous reviews we were prepared and it didn’t interfere with our time at all. It was interesting to watch the boats coming and going and the birds they attracted. The space under the house doesn’t have the “kitchen” in the pictures but it does have a grill. The king bed was super comfy. Patty and Janet were promptly responsive with a couple of questions I had. Be prepared if there is wind the house sways a bit (felt like when you’re sittingin your car on a bridge) apparently this is normal with a house on pillars. I highly recommend eating at The Palmettos on the Bayou in Slidell, close with a great atmosphere.

Lake Leisure 3 Bedroom with Pool
nice place on the water! be a good place for a family getaway with the pool and pier.

Waterfront New Orleans Home w/ Private Dock & Pier
This was easily the best Airbnb me and my family have ever stayed it. It's around 40 mins from th city of New Orleans with peaceful surroundings right off the lake. Nice and quiet area and the house is beautiful. This was our first time staying at a lake house and it was everything we imagined it would be. The hosts were also very friendly and accommodating. Will most likely book again in the future.

Lakefront NOLA Home w/ Hot Tub & Views!
We had an amazing stay. We split our time between relaxing at the serene home, exploring vibrant downtown New Orleans (35ish min away), and doing outdoor adventures. We crabbed, boated, fished, went to Kenney’s seafood, Dong Phuong bakery, hiked, enjoyed the hot tub and relaxed on the porch. We cooked two meals a day in the kitchen and it had all the tools necessary. The views from both sides of the house were stunning, and the area was super cool to explore, as someone from the upper Midwest. The water is well water, and while we cooked and washed with it, we did buy some gallons of water to fill our water bottles.

Pelican Pier Beach House on Lake Catherine
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.

Beautiful Lake House - Private Pier & Dock
A lovely home right on the water. I was worried about stayng in a home on a “highway” with a dog but the road was quiet and we felt safe with the doggie outside (on a leash!) Fishing off the dock was not successful but we did a charter and had great luck! We loved our day trips into NOLA too! Loved it!

THE BAY RITZ - Lovely 2 Bedroom Beachfront Condo
My husband and I had a wonderful stay. The condo was perfect in every way. It was close to restaurants and the beach. We walked everywhere. Sue was a wonderful and gracious host. We will definitely be back! Rating ***** 5 stars

ENCHANTED PARADISE OVER LOOKING THE GULF!
Paul’s unit was comfortable, convenient, and has a great view of the gulf.

Bayou Bonfouca Bungalow, Waterfront by Palmettos
Loved the place. Literally a few feet from the Bayou. Very quiet & peaceful and was perfect for my month-long business trip. Cynthia is great!

Stunning Condo in Long Beach with Pool+Beach Views
Beau Clair is a very nice and well kept complex in Long Beach right across the highway from the gulf. Gwen’s condo is very clean and well furnished with everything you need. It is a very quiet and peaceful area that is convenient to local attractions. Everything was as described in her listing. If you are looking for a bustling area with crowds and heavy traffic, this won’t be your cup of tea. If you want miles of quiet clean beaches, this is the ticket. There are restaurants galore and everything else is within driving distance, such as grocery stores and casinos. We had a great week and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Nirvana on the Beach
We had a wonderful time at Kenneth's condo. We felt very secure since the complex is gated. Everything was very comfortable and the condo was one of best stocked with everything you need. I really appreciated there was coffee since I had forgotten to bring some. We especially loved the large pool!
