Okra Inn: Beautifully Designed B&B, Full Buyout, Off-Street Parking, Huge Yard

THE SPACE
This listing gives your group exclusive use of all six guest bedrooms and every interior guest space at The Okra Inn. We live in a separate owner's unit within the building, with our own private entrance, so you won't share any interior spaces with us. Your group will have its own living and dining rooms, fully equipped kitchen, 4.5 bathrooms, and private back porch. The backyard, front porch, and parking area are shared with our family.

The Okra Inn is housed in a spacious, historic New Orleans camelback that we've carefully renovated and expanded into a licensed bed & breakfast. We wanted to preserve the home's original character while giving it a fresh, colorful personality of its own. Original hardwood floors, 12-foot ceilings, beautiful molding, and bold pops of color come together with an eclectic mix of furnishings and playful details. The result is a relaxed, welcoming space with plenty of room to spread out—and a whole lot of New Orleans character.

All six bedrooms are upstairs, along with four full bathrooms. Two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, while the other two full bathrooms are conveniently located off the hallway. Downstairs, you'll find the spacious living room, dining room, fully equipped kitchen, and an additional half bath. There's plenty of room for groups of up to 12 to relax and spend time together.

The six bedrooms offer a flexible mix of sleeping arrangements: four rooms have queen beds, one has a full-size bed, and the sixth has two twin beds plus a pull-out trundle. This setup works well for families and groups traveling together, with options for couples, friends, and children.

Outside, the back porch offers a breezy spot to unwind overlooking our large backyard, where you'll find play equipment for younger guests. Off-street parking for up to four vehicles is also available at the rear of the property.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Mid-City is one of New Orleans' most lively and eclectic neighborhoods, and a great home base for exploring the city. We're just a short walk from the streetcar, which makes getting to the French Quarter and Central Business District easy. Uptown, Tremé, the Lakefront, and other neighborhoods are also within easy reach.

And there's plenty to explore right here. Within about 1.5 miles you'll find dozens of locally owned restaurants and bars, including Parkway Bakery & Tavern, multiple music venues and coffee shops, City Park, the New Orleans Museum of Art and Besthoff Sculpture Garden, Bayou St. John, Café du Monde, Angelo Brocato's, grocery stores and specialty markets, kayak and paddle boat rentals, swimming pools, and some of New Orleans' famous above-ground cemeteries.

Come hungry, curious, and ready to explore. Y'all are going to love Mid-City!

GETTING AROUND
Off street parking is available. We are located four blocks from a major streetcar stop, which is then a 15 minute ride to The French Quarter and Central Business District. We are a 5 minute ride to City Park (or 20 minute walk), and a 5 minute ride to New Orleans' famous above ground cemeteries. Blue Bikes offers bicycle-sharing that allows for pickup and drop-off throughout the city. Uber and Lyft operate in New Orleans as well as traditional taxis. And if you really want the fun way to get around, you can always hire a party bus...

NOISE LEVELS
We ask all guests to be considerate of our neighbors and family by keeping noise at a reasonable level, particularly during quiet hours. We have common-sense guidelines for noise both indoors and outdoors, including limits on late-night noise. If your group plans to host gatherings or spend time outside late into the evening, please reach out before booking so we can make sure the property is a good fit for your stay.

HOUSE RULES
Smoking is not allowed in the house but is allowed on front and back porches.

Fire arms are strictly prohibited.

We ask guests to treat the front porch as closed after 8pm due to it's proximity to where our preschooler sleeps.

Please inquire before booking if your group is a bachelor(ette) party. While we are happy to host these groups, we ask that they do not have any party events in the house, and that decoration does not include glitter, confetti, or nails in the walls.
