About this property

Engine 24 Firehouse Bed & Breakfast

One of New Orleans' most unique vacation lodging properties: the Engine 24 French Quarter Firehouse Bed & Breakfast... one of the few VRBO properties that is licensed by the City of New Orleans for Bed & Breakfasts! (City license 24-XSTR-04116) Stay in an authentic historic firehouse while enjoying the modern amenities of this renovated gem.

We are located in the heart of the Faubourg Marigny, considered by many travel magazines to be one of America's hot neighborhoods. Next door is the French Quarter, one of the most historic and charming areas anywhere. And to the other side is the hip, funky Bywater, a neighborhood which, like the Faubourg Marigny, features great local eateries and cool bars.

Our bed & breakfast is a restored fire station designed to function as a comfortable home away from home for tourists and locals alike to come and enjoy the vibrant culture that is New Orleans. Formerly, this historic building housed Engine 24 of the New Orleans Fire Department! Local architect William Sonner purchased and renovated the Firehouse in the 2000s and it's now one of the city's most popular vacation rentals!

The Firehouse has 7 bedrooms...3 loft bedrooms on the Main Floor, 2 bedrooms in the Penthouse, and 2 bedrooms in the courtyard. Combined, they sleep 14-16 people comfortably and with lots of privacy. The bedrooms provide a place that is a perfect for getaways with friends, family gatherings, etc. Our 7 bedrooms are always rented together so all guests can enjoy the Firehouse.

The Firehouse has two large private living areas and a newly renovated New Orleans courtyard with fountain, outdoor seating and more.
Please note: The Firehouse is a very popular building and usually books weeks or months in advance. We're often in phone or email contact with multiple groups for the same dates. The first party to initiate payment or provide proper credit will enter into a reservation with us!

Bachelor Party

This was the most awesome spot for a good respectful time with friends! We loved every minute and ended up just spending time at the house. Great location to walk to Frenchmen and Quarter! Also the communication was the best we’ve ever had! Really can’t thank you all enough!

Awesome location, great property, walking distance of French quarter!

Stay was great! Only criticism I have is finding out the upstairs AC wasn’t fully operational on the day we arrived.

50th BDay in NOLA

Visited NOLA for my 50th BDay and to run in the red dress run with 10 friends and family. Had a great time, wonderful city, and love the charm of the firehouse. Only small complaint is the location, it was a 15-20 min walk to Frenchman, Bourbon, and main shopping areas. We were willing to do this to stay in such a nice and unique place, but need to know this going in. I do recommend staying here.

Great Adult Trip

We had such a great adult trip to NOLA! We had a group of 10 and this property was perfect for us! Plenty of room, so much character, everyone had their own bedroom/bathroom/privacy. Walking distance to so many places and we felt safe. Beth was so helpful, informative and maintained great communication. We will stay again in the future!

Incredibly unique space and rich in history

Really cool place to stay with super cool features and unique nooks and crannies throughout. Well kept and historically preserved. AC was really great during the sweating June days in NO. Although the top floor AC was out in the front of the building, Beth set us up with an adequate floor air conditioning unit that kept the area comfortable. Overall a great place that is walking distance to Frenchman street with some fun neighborhood spots nearby.

Amazing place for a group?

We had 10 friends come for French Quarter Fest and this place was PERFECT!!! Comfy private quiet rooms, gorgeous places to hang out; we especially enjoyed the internal patio. Super convenient to walk from. Safe, quiet, spacious, comfortable, good communication, well-stocked, conveniently located… I can’t say enough good things! We would definitely stay here again. One person said it was the best nights sleep he has ever gotten!

Perfect spot for a trip!

Nothing but great things to say about my stay at the firehouse. Had a group of 13 people and there was more than enough room for everyone. Private courtyard was a plus. Great location to walk to all sorts of things that NOLA has to offer

This Firehouse is amazing

If you've ever stayed in a novelty-type place you know that lots of times the reality doesn't match the hype. Not here. These hosts have thought of everything to make the stay amazing. A property like this has an endless amount of upkeep, and yet they haven't missed a thing. We loved it so much!
