Family-friendly holiday rentals in Gentilly, New Orleans

I had a really great time in the home & close to everything I wanted to get to

Paradise. Big easy for sure. You should definitely choose this spot. I use AirBnB often and this was my best experience yet. Craig and the rest of the crew were always around to help but never too close. We had a wonderful vacation and attribute much of it to this cozy spot and helpful staff on Mandeville. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

This was one of the comfortable airbnbs we have stayed in. Spacious apartment and the shower was large and beautiful with fantastic water pressure and temperature. Memory foam mattress and lovely pillows (not flat, not feather, not super thick!!!). Appreciated having a water boiler to make tea easily. The TV was a bit outdated and small, but did the job. Great communication with Jim. We loved waking up to the sound of singing, happy birds outside! ***this review above is for before our last night there, which we couldn't stay because a fire burnt the house severely and ruined almost all of our belongings with water and smoke...clothes, shoes, electronics, makeup, etc. But this is not the fault of the owner and I feel terrible for him, and for us, and wanted to write a review on how great the stay was before this tragedy.

We loved this place from the second we walked in! The tiki vibes were immaculate, and we especially enjoyed the record player and playing the ukulele. It was very cozy, quiet, and close the the bus and streetcar, which was perfect for going to the French Quarter. We would absolutely love to stay again the next time we're in town. Bonus: there's a very friendly stray white cat that lives around the corner who greeted us every time we walked by ❤

Wonderful home will definitely be booking again!

Dawn was extremely helpful and the AirBnB was excellent - thoroughly cleaned, secure, and with plenty of space for my family. We would absolutely stay here again.

Comfortable and perfectly located in a great area! We had everything we needed for a family vacation. The pool and spa worked great and we just took one morning to swim, relax, and visit with each other in that awesome tropical backyard. We had a car so we didn’t need transportation but we did walk to the streetcar one day, plus it would be easy to Uber/Lyft from Gary’s place to the popular locations in New Orleans. We didn’t cook, because, frankly, why would you in food paradise when the local restaurants do it so well, but the kitchen was well stocked should you want to cook. We had fun using the game table, TVs, and sound system. Everything was a hit with our kids who were with us to celebrate their recent college graduations. We would stay here again for any occasion but the end of May was the perfect time for warm weather AND the end of crawfish season which we were thrilled to miss. Thanks, Gary!

I woke up this morning in my own bed so sad not to be on New Orleans—more specifically Stephen and Heather’s place. Their home is fabulous. Tons of character. Lots of room to gather with family and friends or just hide away with a good book. The pool is great with many outdoor places to sit. Thank you Stephen and Heather!

Love the okra Inn such a beautiful historical home. Way more room than expected and super cozy for the family. Would return for next trip.

We had a great stay it’s a very clean place and the beds were really comfortable! They left books with plenty of recommendations for restaurants and things to do around town and advice for our visit aswell ! Definitely had a great stay and will recommend them to anyone needing an Airbnb in NOLA!

Our new favorite Mid City stay! Welcoming and inviting, beautiful architecture, mindful NOLA decor that is a mixture of modern/vintage/antiques, spacious and comfortable! Fun coffee shop just steps away on the corner. Safe neighborhood and relaxing to sit on the front porch chatting with neighbors who are also welcoming. We have stayed with Breanna and Nick a couple of times at other homes and they are the absolute best!!! Pretty sure we will only stay at one of their properties when we pop into town to visit our daughter - I feel like we are friends now :) Another great experience!

We had a fantastic time exploring NOLA while staying in the bywater. The place has a cozy historic feel. We loved all of the local art on the walls. It is close to several shops, bars, cafes, and crescent park! Our hosts were very responsive and we would come again!

Space is exactly as described in a really lovely, artful part of the city with easy walking/biking/running to the Quarter or the Bywater neighborhood. Lots of green spaces nearby. Wifi is fast and great for remote work. Lots of restaurants and places to enjoy all around. Kitchen amenities limited as mentioned by hosts, so bring your appetite for enjoying out! Good to consider for longer stays perhaps.

Maxwell was very responsive and helpful. Very quiet neighborhood. Thank you for being hospitable!

We had a great stay and felt right at home. The bed was comfortable, and the space was very roomy. Very cool historical home. While the neighborhood isn’t one we’d choose to walk around at night, we never felt unsafe during our stay. The location was incredibly convenient to everything we wanted to do in New Orleans. We would definitely stay here again! The host’s were very nice as well!

Great stay! Only gave the check-in one less star because the instructions gave a specific color of the gate and it was a little confusing since the house next door was actually blue and the gate was not. Wasn’t terribly hard to figure out but just sometime maybe to update for future guests :) I felt very at home in the space heaving just moved out of New Orleans. Would stay again 1000%. Beautiful, beautiful space.

Host was super responsive. The neighborhood was great and we loved using the pool in the backyard. Highly recommend!

If you are ok with something close to everything, but not in the middle of anything, then rent this place. It is lovely, Deborah was lovely. It was comfortable, it was easy, it was great place to spend the weekend. To be clear we were not there to party and did not want to be in middle of the French quarter. So if you are, then maybe this is not the right place for you. But we were never more than 10-15 minutes from anywhere we wanted to go, and for us it was perfect.

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.

Tamarin and Steve were so kind and thoughtful with details. We enjoyed the art on display in the guest suite, and the pool was lovely. The garden and porch rocking chairs made it feel like a quiet little oasis in the middle of the busy city. Close to everything, especially Superior Seafood, our daughter’s favorite place for pomegranate mojitos and everything on the menu. We also love Bearcat for breakfast. The guest suite is filled with antiques and repurposed materials, so eclectic and fun.

10/10 Highly Recommend ! This was my boyfriend’s and I second time staying here. Everything is as pictured and the hosts are very responsive. I’m already thinking about coming back the end of June. Thanks for everything and providing a home away from home.

he made sure everything was up to what we paid for and that we were all happy.He answered all calls and text if anything happened and fixed things right away with no questions asked.Everything was clean and well taken care of the pool was a nice plus to have in the heat it was very clean.He was friendly with us like he knew us and treated us like a friend. I would 100% come back. awesome host.

By far one of the best stays. Not only is the host communicative and friendly but Ben’s home is uniquely decorated and comfortable. It fits perfectly with the NOLA culture and was also extremely close to the French quarter and close enough to the airport. The shower was great and I enjoyed spending time in the backyard. My family felt right at home. I definitely recommend booking!

Interesting property located within easy walking distance of French Quarter. Great kitchen facilities, including a coffee machine where unusually the hosts had provided sufficient pods for our entire stay which was a nice touch. Clean linen and comfy beds in all rooms. Ratio of bedrooms to restroom/shower facilities not a problem for our one family group, but groups requiring more privacy should be aware the ground floor bathroom is very small and off the kitchen, which could pose ‘logistical’ issues for some. Also, water temperature can fluctuate significantly, so recommend supervision of youngsters while showering. Just a few bits to be aware of, none of which detracted from a great stay!
