About this property

Bayou Bleu - On the Historic Bayou

Elegant and historic home with New Orleans character and luxury, and a picturesque view of Bayou St. John, a favorite destination for locals and visitors alike. Just steps to the streetcar and a scenic five minute ride to the French Quarter and Downtown. The area boasts some of the oldest architecture in New Orleans as it was the original passage into the city. Fabulous walkability – walk to Jazz Fest, Voodoo Fest, and more. The neighborhood is popular for its coffee shops, restaurants, wine bars, kayaking, and the Lafitte Corridor bicycle path connecting it to the French Quarter. The New Orleans Museum of Art is located in the park, as well as a world class sculpture garden, golf course, fitness track, and boat rentals. City Park is the 5th largest in the U.S. home to the oldest grove of mature live oaks in the world.

This rental is the entire first floor flat of an historic 100 year old New Orleans home with a private entrance and Southern living porch that looks onto the bayou and a 300-year-old moss laden oak tree. The home is well appointed, comfortably luxurious, with all modern amenities and antiques throughout. There is a full laundry and well-equipped kitchen. The living room is comfortable with views to the bayou and a television with cable. Three bedrooms and two and a half baths that can accommodate eight people. The master bedroom has a king size bed, ensuite jacuzzi bath and walk-in closet. The second guest bedroom has a queen bed and an ensuite half bath. Between the second and third bedroom is a newly remodeled full bath. The third guest room has a queen size bed and a large closet.
There is no guest access to the garden. 

Note - Bayou Bleu was listed for four years with another property manager; however, all of the stellar reviews unfortunately did not transfer to the new site.

Great stay for Tulane graduation 2023
The home was charming and comfortable and just right for our needs. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, the showers hot, and the A/C comfortably cool. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch overlooking the bayou. The area was quiet and easily accessible. Walked to Cafe Du Monde in City Park for beignets for breakfast one day. Walked to Ralph’s on the Park for a celebratory graduation dinner. I recommend this property.

Lovely large ground floor apartment
This is a lovely house in a wonderful neighborhood. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the activity on the Bayou. It’s very easy to take the trolley or Lyft down to the French Quarter. City park is just a couple of blocks away. The kitchen has almost everything you’d want, except for a coffee grinder. The bathrooms have shampoo and conditioner, and there was a hair dryer in our bathroom. This was a great place to stay for 5 adults who didn’t want the crazy activity in the French Quarter.
