About this property

Mojo for Bayou St. John

Awaken to a cup of coffee on the front porch while watching the ducks play in Bayou St. John. Only 15 minutes from the French Quarter by car, this is the ideal hub for savoring every aspect of this magnificent city while enjoying a peaceful waterfront retreat overlooking the meadows, Live Oaks, and gardens of the City Park. Walk through our famous historic cemeteries to popular neighborhood restaurants, groceries, and wine shops of the Esplanade Ridge. Then, you can enjoy a cocktail while watching a dazzling sunset over the park before hitting the nightlife of New Orleans.

Fabulous Location

Wonderful and comfortable interiors. Perfect location right across from City Park with all of its amenities. Stroll along Bayou St. John and visit the nearby restaurants and coffee houses on Esplanade. Have your coffee and/or wine on the front porch overlooking Bayou St. John while watching the ducks and geese glide by. Nice accomodations!

Perfect location! We would stay here again!

We enjoyed being across the street from the park and close to the trolley. We also appreciated parking right in front of the house, which was clean and well kept. John was a great host.

Great place to stay on the bayou!

The apartment was perfect for me and my friends for Mardi Gras. Very clean and quiet and the host was really friendly and welcoming. I always worry that hosts will cancel at the last minute or will change the price after booking, but they didn’t do that. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful home and wonderful views

We stayed on memorial weekend and it was just lovely. The beds were so comfortable and everything you needed was provided in the bathroom and kitchen. Morning on the front porch drinking coffee watching the ducks and kayakers was so nice. The back yard was perfect for an afternoon glass of wine in their beautiful garden. Highly recommend.

Southern Hospitality at its Finest

Our experience at Mojo on the Bayou was fantastic! Location was perfect for our trip; accommodations were beautiful, clean, comfortable and secure! John and Misty were great hosts, their property is lovely and convenient. All of our needs were met and then some. Easy peasy-from booking, communication with our hosts, check in and check out. We hope to return again.

Location. Location. Location. We did all things we wanted and it was easy to access. The neighborhood was quiet even with the weekend festival going on. Staying in St. John Bayou is how to do New Orleans.

Enjoy the historical Bayou St. John area!

Great house located right on Bayou St. John. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the kayakers and paddle boarders go by. Right across the street from City Park for walking and jogging, not to mention all the wonderful sites the park offers. Perfect location to explore the historical (and often overlooked) Faubourg St. John neighborhood. Lovely décor, spacious and well equipped kitchen!

Loved it!

The house is located in the perfect location to see all New Orleans has to offer. There's a lot to do within walking distance and the trolley is nearby and very convenient. We had a last minute friend join us after booking so we ended up being a group of 5 instead of 4. Not ideal but it worked out fine.

Beautiful and convenient

Get up early and walk out the front to dozens of ducks, swans, geese waiting to be fed. Turtles and fish swarm the bank of the bayou for food, and one 7' alligator likes to cruise the bayou. Location is convenient to downtown, midtown, lakefront. Numerous local restaurants and grocery stores within 2 minutes of the location. House has everything you need to feel at home.

Lovely duplex with multiple decks

We loved this charming duplex with the lovely art work and view of St John bayou. We walked to city park which was lovely. We thought one of the 2 full baths being downstairs would be an issue but it was not. We loved all the decks front and back. John was ever so helpful, friendly and accomodating. Had a lovely time. Hope he wad able to get dishwasher fixed. Thanks so very much

Oct in NOLA

We had a fabulous visit in mid-October for a long weekend and a family wedding. Four of us were happy in two bedrooms/two baths. Lots of privacy. Very easy to work with the owners. We had a medical situation on the last day, right before leaving, and John was very understanding and accommodating. The place is so lovely. Highly recommended! Very close to City Park, the Museum of Art, and a cable car stop that takes you all over the city. Had a great time.

Wonderful stay at Mojo on the Bayou

Want to thank our hosts for a wonderful stay at their beautiful property. The house was super clean, beautifully decorated with large comfy beds, large fully stocked eat in kitchen, and great access to City Park and the City. My family loved to be able to go out on the porch, drink coffee and watch the birds and even an alligator on Bayou St. John.

BEST VRBO ever! Book it now!

This was one of the best, if not the best VRBO I've ever stayed at. It had absolutely everything you could possibly want or need. It was tastefully decorated, had so many extra touches, pantry items in the kitchen, sparking water, parking, toiletries, extra linens, glass ware, etc. The kitchen was the most fully stocked kitchen I've ever encountered. The living area was generous and it has a beautiful front porch with a view of the bayou and a sweet back yard with multiple seating areas, a fire pit and a grill! John was super attentive and accomodating. He was quick to respond with any questions and let us have a late check out. This will be my go to VRBO whenever I am in NOLA. Book it now.

We were very impressed by the property and it's location. It was very clean and the décor was cool and modern. The house was directly facing the bayou and City Park which made for a great view! The hosts were welcoming and accommodating as well. We would stay here again and recommend it to friends.

Bayou St. John, I miss you already!

This property is close to it all, the City Park, the French Quarter, the cemeteries, and fantastic restaurants. The property is lovely and so comfortable. My favorite part was relaxing on the front porch watching the ducks, jumping fish, beautiful skies, slowing it all down. We are already talking about another stay!

Great property and location!

John and Misty were wonderful hosts. The house itself has a great setup and is in the perfect location and is nicely decorated. My boyfriend and I stayed with my parents and the house was set up wonderfully to accommodate two couples with a bedroom and a bathroom on each floor. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom are a bit smaller, but worked well for what we needed - lots of space in the upstairs bedroom and bathroom. Kitchen had everything we needed as well. And John and Misty are right next door if you do happen to need anything else. The location of the house is directly across from City Park which made for lovely morning walks and convenient activities (mini golf, bike and kayak rentals, etc). If you have a car, it was only about 5 minutes from awesome restaurants,15 minutes to downtown, 15 minutes to a commercial shopping mall area, and 20 minutes from the airport. John & Misty were flexible with check-in and check-out time as needed and provided fantastic suggestions for activities and restaurants prior to our arrival. Would absolutely stay here again if coming to the area. Thank you, John & Misty!

About the host

Hosted by John

Host profile image
MIsty and John are both Rolfers and Louisiana Natives with a deep love of the Crescent City.

Why they chose this property

We have lived in several neighborhoods in the city before having the good fortune to move onto Bayou St. John and the City Park. We are minutes from all the city's nightlife but in the morning we can have coffee on the balcony and watch the pelicans fish.

What makes this property unique

Relatively quiet streets and gorgeous, peaceful surroundings right on the water,
Mid-City is exactly what it's name implies, the middle of the city. From here you are 15 to 20 minutes from any neighborhood in the city.
