About this property

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

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.

The Best Stay!

This was probably one of the best rentals my family and I have ever rented. No cost was spared. The house is equip with everything you can think of board games, dishes/silverware,fresh bedding and towels along with complimentary drinks and coffee. It’s located near downtown and just short drive to any part of New Orleans. Definitely recommend!

This was a great experience, possibly the best we have ever had with a VRBO property. Ninh was extremely responsive and helpful, the property was close to everything NOLA but in a nice quiet neighborhood. The property was well equipped and spotless clean.

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.

A Perfect Christmas on the Bayou!

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.

Beautiful New Orleans home

Beautiful, quaint property in New Orleans. I've been to the city many times and this is by far my favorite place I've stayed! Ninh is very thoughtful and welcoming and the home has an artist's touch. I only stayed 3 nights and could happily stay out the month. We came for the Taylor Swift concert like many others this weekend and we hit the jackpot with this property. Unlikely many hotels, our price was reasonable and didn't increase as the dates got closer to the show. We

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!

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!

A beautiful gem in a quiet neighbor hood - Mid City

A gorgeously appointed home complete with wall art, house plants, comfy sofas, lots of towels, fully stocked kitchen complete with salt&pepper, olive oil, etc. This little gem is in a very walkable area. 15 walk to Neyows Creole Cafe which was wonderful. 12 min ride to French Quarter. There is a great sunny patio in the back with a grill, several coffee tables as well as a dinner table for 6 outside. Our gracious super host was an excellent communicator. We were very pleased.

Beautiful home, great location!

We enjoyed our stay. The owner was very responsive when we had questions about the home. It was nice to arrive to a bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival. It is only an 8 minute drive to the French Quarter and a short walk to City Park. My only issue was the noise from the construction in the mornings directly across the street and water coming into the master bedroom after a bad rainstorm. Overall, a great place to stay!

Amazing!

Ninh’s home was perfect. Our first night we never made it out because we enjoyed the vibes at the house so much. On top of having everything one could need and being impeccably thoughtful and aesthetically appealing, Ninh was an amazing communicator from the moment I booked until the end. I hope the house is available next time we have the chance to visit New Orleans—the bar has been set too high to settle for less.

About the host

Hosted by Ninh Tran

Host profile image
Real Estate Professional and transplant from the Northeast that chose to make New Orleans home in 2010. Love to travel and entertain guests. I pride myself on ensuring my guests have an authentic New Orleans experience. As a recent guest stated, "it was like staying at a good friend's beautiful house". That is why I enjoy hosting and that's exactly the sentiment I want all my guests to experience.

Why they chose this property

Bayou St. John is the quintessential New Orleans neighborhood. Colorful, vibrant, historical homes that run along the Bayou. Walk, bike, run, or kayak on the Bayou to City Park or down to the French Quarter. Centrally located, within 10-15 minutes to anywhere in the City. Bayou living like the locals, but be minutes from all the action. City Park, Esplanade Avenue, Krewe of Endymion Mardi Gras Parade, Parkway Bakery, Wrong Iron, Bayou Wine and Beer Garden, Pals Lounge, Broad Street Movie Theater, Wholefoods, Bayou Boogaloo, Voodoo Music Festival, Jazzfest are all within walking distance to the house.

What makes this property unique

Open, spacious, clean, bright, modern home with all the amenities and luxuries of a hotel stay, but feel at home and live like a local. Get your morning coffee and pastries from Mayhew Bakery, around the corner, and enjoy it from the on the front porch, back patio, or on the Bayou. Quiet but vibrant/colorful neighborhood. Close to it all (within minutes) but far enough away from the craziness that can be Bourbon Street, that you still get the full local experience. As a 5 star host, I want my guests to love the house as much as I do and readily/easily available for suggestions and recommendations while in town and make your stay most enjoyable.
