The Red Bayou House, walk to City Park and Jazzfest, mins to the French Quarter

30 Day Rentals Only: LICENSE PERMIT: 20-RSTR-28281, OPERATOR'S LICENSE: 20-OSTR-00138

Bayou St John, in Mid-City, was named the 7th Best Neighborhoods in the World by TimeOut Magazine, 2023.

The Red Bayou House is fully renovated to have an inviting, light-filled, and functional layout, while maintaining the New Orleans' character and charm. Luxury hotel-like amenities, fully stocked kitchen, large dining table, wonderful workspace, comfortable designer queen beds, independent and private bedrooms and bathrooms (not shotgun style), and a wonderful private deck.

The house opens up to a large, spacious living, entertaining and dining space. Ten foot ceilings throughout the house creates an open and spacious setting. The living room has two deep and comfortable West Elm couches, perfect for lounging around. The smart tv has basic cable, HBO, Samsung Plus TV, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc.

Many guests have cooked Thanksgiving means in this fully stocked kitchen. French press, cuisinart coffee maker, coffee pod maker (coffee pods provided), barware, microwave, dishwasher, gas stove and oven, pots and pans, and cooking tools.

The guest bedroom has a queen size bed, luxurious and comfortable mattress, and a large closet. The guest bathroom is located across the hallway. There is a smart tv with Samsung Plus TV, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc.

In between the guest and master bedroom is a wonderful workspace for those looking to get some work done while in town. Flanked by two bookshelves, the workspace has a black granite countertop and a very comfortable Herman Miller chair. Next to the workspace is a perfect, cozy reading room/yoga/meditation/napping room, with a custom twin size bed. This room is perfect for kids or babies, with a pack & play and a ComfyBumpy for their safety. This is my favorite little nook in the house.

The master bedroom located at the back of the house is quiet and peaceful. It has a queen size bed, with luxurious and comfortable mattress, and opens to the back deck through French doors. The master has a smart tv with basic cable, HBO, Samsung Plus TV, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc. The bedroom gets a lot of light due to the horizontal windows above the French doors, perfect for morning people. The large walk in closet leads into the bathroom, with a wonderful glass enclosed shower.

Guests can relax/enjoy the private and spacious deck with cushioned lounge chairs, dining for six with cushioned seats, or lounge out on the sofa. Grill on the gas grill (propane tanks provided) and enjoy the outdoor space.

Please take care of my home as if it were your own. Please respect the neighbors and keep noise levels to a minimum during late night hours. No smoking inside the house. Smoking is allowed on the front porch and back deck (ashtrays provided). Pets will be considered with additional cleaning fee; only if pets are potty and house trained as well. It’s a residential neighborhood and I want to be mindful of my neighbors, so no barking dogs when left alone.

SUMMER DISCLAIMER: Hurricane season and the summers in New Orleans can be very hot and humid. Like most homes in this city, the AC system will have a hard time keeping the house cool at 65 degrees all day. Cancellations will only be allowed for named Tropical Storms/Hurricanes. Please be mindful of this when deciding to book for the summer here in our lovely city.

Best house and best host

This house is amazing. Photos don’t do it justice. It has so much charm and character, it’s big but also cozy, and it’s decorated so beautifully! Ninh was the easiest host I’ve ever worked with. Overly accommodating for our early check in and late checkout, and flawless communication.My only regret is that we didn’t get to spend more time in this amazing house because our friends live down the road and we spent most of our time at their place. I really hope to come back and spend more time here. You won’t regret booking this house!

A Magical Home Away From Home

I planned a trip to New Orleans for the Super Bowl for my husbands 60th birthday. We had wanted to stay at a five star hotel but all were sold out by April 2024. I was very apprehensive about staying in a vacation rental because from past experience most were uninspiring and/or unkept and unsanitary. When I came across Ninh’s adorable carriage house it seemed too good to be true. It appeared to be very well cared for and well located. But the pictures just can’t convey how beautiful the home is. It is decorated and feathered like a pied a terre straight out of the pages of Architectural Digest Magazine . It truly is all that it promises and more : a lovely jewel box of glamour, comfort and design in a nice neighborhood close to everything quintessential New Orleans! And it’s a HOME , equipped with EVERYTHING a home needs to be comfortable from the fully stocked bar cart to the closets full of clean linens, towels and blankets to the pantry brimming with basic staples to cook a feast to the coffee makers, toasters and tea pots at the ready for morning beverages. Topping off the experience is the owner Ninh who is a perfect host. He was always available to answer questions or make suggestions for sightseeing and dining . Overall , our experience staying in the Red Bayou house was liking staying in a wealthy friend’s guest house. . Thanks Ninh!

Delightful Red Bayou House

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming home. The house itself is beautiful and creative, but also very comfortable and well outfitted. The location is great. It was our first time staying in this sweet neighborhood, and we loved it. Great bakery (Nolita), restaurants (1000 Figs), and bars (Pal's) within walking distance. Also very close to City Park and other great restaurants (Parkway, Liuzza's by the Track, Gabrielle). We would stay here again in a second! Thank you, Ninh, for sharing your lovely home.

The place is absolutely stunning and our family felt right at home in this comfy home. This was our 3rd Christmas in Nola and by far our best experience. The amenities and incredible artwork are beyond the listing description and the place immediately feels like home. Our daughter got engaged on Christmas Eve which made it even more special. If it’s available, rent it! We will be back.

A Gem in New Orleans

This was our first time to New Orleans. Nina’s house was the perfect addition to our trip. The decor fits the feel of NOLA. Although the weather didn’t cooperate everyday, we were still able to explore the neighbourhood and take short Lyft rides to other attractions. The local Parkway Bakery has great Po Boys and we also visited Pal’s lounge and a nearby Mexican restaurant. The beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed for our short stay. Ninh was very quick to respond to any questions we had. If we are ever back in New Orleans we would definitely stay here again. Thanks for being a great host!

Can't Say Enough Good Things about This House and Owner

We use VRBO frequently, and this house is probably the best one we have rented. The pictures don't do the house justice. It feels much bigger in person and my teenage son chose the "small nook" as his room over the traditional bedroom because he thought it was cool and cozy. We especially loved the patio that was like having another living room as it was so spacious and clean. We were impressed with how quiet the house was and the thick black out curtains and comfy beds made for great sleeping. Parking was super easy and check in was equally as easy. The house is so well appointed. Besides the super fun and beautiful decor, the host stocks anything you would need. We had more towels than we could ever use, tons of luxurious blankets, any kind of cleaning product you could ever want, and all the pots and pans you need to make a meal. We also loved the thoughtful suggestions on places to eat that the host leaves for you. Don't miss Parkway Bakery that is in walking distance. It was packed so we ordered food and drinks and brought them back to the patio for a great afternoon. Last but not least, the owner was very communicative and answered any question we had super quickly.

Book this beautiful home!!

We have rented many vrbo properties but this far exceeded any of the others. The online pictures don't do justice to this beautifully decorated home. Ninh had everything there that guests would need. He left us a lovely welcome gift of wine, had a book with local recommendations that were spot on, was responsive and communicated with us throughout our stay. The house was incredibly clean and we could walk to many restaurants and city park. Street parking in front of the house was always available and the security system in the house made us feel very secure. We would (and will) recommend this property to anyone asking for a place to rent in NOLA!! Thanks Ninh for sharing your gorgeous home with us.
