Holiday rentals with breakfast in Lake Pontchartrain

Karen's place was such a lovely home-base on our trip. Great location +peaceful street with lots of trees and flowers and small animals. Wonderful porch for relaxing and social time. Comfy dwelling with character and Karen is a wonderful resource and human to connect with. Very warm and welcoming〰️

Karen was an amazing host. She responded to our needs very fast and was a pleasure. The house was very nice and comfortable and in a great place to walk to restaurants and the trolly.

The house was just what our family needed for our trip to NOLA. The location is perfect. It took us about 15 minutes to get to wherever we wanted to go. There are plenty of restaurants and markets close by and within walking distance. The neighborhood was friendly and felt very safe. The house was just as described and was a nice place to come back to after a long day exploring. The hosts supplied so many things that are often forgotten by travelers. The pool was a welcome respite after a long hot day. The house provides plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. NOLA definitely has its own vibe and this house allowed us to feel like the locals during our stay. Thanks for sharing.

We loved our stay at Ricki’s Bywater home. The house is warm, charming, and full of character — it instantly felt like home. The bedroom was cozy, the bed super comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and well stocked. But the real magic is the location. Bywater is hands down the best neighborhood in New Orleans — creative, welcoming, and full of life. We met the kindest people, caught live music at sunset, and sipped cocktails in some of the most memorable little bars. We made amazing memories here — would come back in a heartbeat.

Second time taking advantage of the opportunity to book and it was just as great as first time. Such a lovely view and great restaurants are such a short drive. Beach is short one minute walk and county does nice job keeping beaches cleaned. We would highly recommend checking out the nest !

This is our second time staying at this home. We feel at home, safe, and at peace here. It is a quiet neighborhood and near the city park where we visit often for the gardens, special events, and walking some of the trails. If you want a more secluded space that is convenient to leave when visiting New Orleans and the surrounding areas, this is for you. Many sidewalks, local restaurants, grocery stores, the best ice cream store ever, etc. We prefer to cook more than go out to eat, so the whole kitchen suits our needs. Karis is really great and makes people feel welcome.

This home is in the center of it all! Me and a friend visited and were never more than 15 minutes away from any location we wanted to get to even on a busy holiday weekend. I can't say enough positive things about how clean the space was, how quiet the street is, and just how responsive Rik was to any message that we sent him. Oh yeah...the beds were super comfortable too so get ready to want to stay in them for a little while longer than you planned on each morning. I will definitely be booking again with Rik!

Giuliano let me check in early and met me at the house. He was as friendly and helpful in person as he had been on text (i.e. very) and walked me through everything I needed to know about the place, from the air conditioners to which light switches governed what, the locks, all of it. I don't always like to intersect with my Airbnb host but in this case there were several facets to the place that would have been trickier to figure out on own. So that first little "tutorial" was hugely valuable. Plus Giuliano is warm presence who was just nice to be around during our brief little interaction. I'll definitely want to stay there again someday :)

Eric is a fabulous host!!! He was so helpful and so good to us! We had a wonderful stay and actually wish we could have stayed longer. I definitely recommend this place and I would absolutely stay again!

Kevin was able to rent me his place last minute when my prior reserved Airbnb was unavailable. The downtown location is great and very close to Canal Street with many restaurants nearby. The unit is as described and Kevin communicates well and is concerned that everything is good and you are comfortable. The only negative, as others have mentioned, is the street noise. So bring ear plugs in case you have difficultly sleeping. I would definitely stay here again.

I hesitate to share this because I want to be able to afford to stay here the next time we come lol but Megan's place was INCREDIBLE. The house was clean and comfy and was steps away from anything that might want to do. True, it was loud in the evenings—but that's because of the incredible location! You can literally sit on the porch and hear live music! So the house was lovely, well appointed, comfortable, and a great location but what took it over the edge was Megan's incredible hospitality. Any time we reached out, she was quickly responsive and kind. I will be sincerely disappointed if we cannot stay here again.

I loved my stay at Le Roost! The apartment was much more spacious than I thought when I made my reservations. I felt right at home and everything about the AirBNB was positive! I hope to be able to stay at Le Roost again when I return to Ponchatoula!

We had a great stay in the guesthouse during our trip to New Orleans for Jazzfest. The location (just steps away from the park) was fantastic and parking always easy. We would definitely love to stay here again next year!

Absolutely loved finding this place last minute, it was such a pleasant surprise! Getting here was simple, parking was no hassle, and accessing the house was a breeze. The space was both cozy and spacious, perfect for our large family. The homey decorations added a lovely touch. What truly makes this AirBNB stand out is the charming neighborhood and secure environment. This place radiates good vibes, and we’ll definitely be back. I did read other reviews beforehand, so I knew about the single bathroom plug, no TV in one bedroom, and the bright morning light in the backroom. Waking up at 8 am wasn't bad though, with the beautiful magnolia trees outside offering a delightful view. Honestly, this place is a true gem.

Heather's place was the perfect size and location for our trip. Steps away from the trolley, a very convenient corner liquor store 2 buildings away, and a few other restaurants and such in walking distance. There was no musty smell, which I've found to be a recurring issue at places that I've stayed in New Orleans. Heather was very responsive and accommodating. I would highly recommend!

This was my 2nd time staying at this property. The host and property were amazing. I will definitely choose this again on my next visit.

We LOVED staying at Elsa's place. It was beautiful and gives you a great feel of Louisana's Bayou. The location was magical and we will definitely be returning again.

This was an incredible place to stay while visiting New Orleans. The location is perfect—just a short walk to Frenchmen Street for great live music, and everything else is easily accessible on foot. The hosts were friendly and helpful, and the self-serve breakfast had a great variety, which was much appreciated. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back!

The Inn was very nice and the staff were extremely friendly! My fiancé and I loved the balcony and French doors from the bedroom

Most probably the best B&B we ever stayed. Amazing people, amazing breakfast, amazing place. What a joy it was to meet and chat with Barbara and Renée! Loved every second there.

Can’t wait to visit Michelle’s again! The inn was so comfortable and the room met all of our need down to a great ceiling fan and handy shelves in the bathroom. Michelle and Bob went out of their way to MAKE us a tasty, hot vegan breakfast each morning and were so friendly yet so chill. 5 stars all around!

Second (or third) time staying at The cressy house - as always, Laura doesn’t miss a detail! Can’t wait to go back.

You should definitely stay at this place. It was so beautifully designed, cozy and we had a wonderful time! Thank you Ms. Daphne and Sue:). Xoxoxo

We loved Laura’s B & B. Not only did we love their home, she and Elliott were fantastic hosts. We had a yummy Continental breakfast every morning waiting on us. She had the most fantastic croissants ever. They were such enjoyable people and I hope we have the opportunity to join them again. I highly highly recommend them if you plan on visiting that area. If and when I get to go back, I will definitely be staying with them.
