About this property
The Red Bayou House, walk to City Park and Jazzfest, mins to the French Quarter
30 Day Rentals Only: 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.

We highly recommend this VRBO. It was very welcoming and cozy and clean and decorated with excellent style. Patio and landscaping was very comfortable and relaxing. Very well stocked with everything you could need. The location was perfect. The owner/host was available to answer our questions and also gave great recommendations for places to visit and dine. Our stay at The Red Bayou House was fantastic !!!
We've stayed in many bnb's and vrbo's and have been hosts as well. This property stands well above the others. Besides it's comfort, cleanliness and provisions, it's ideally located for access to all parts of the city.
The home is decorated beautifully and has everything youll need. Very close to town in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Went on a fun swamp tour and Amelie and Cohon a must for food. Celebrated my hubbys birthday at Brennans, home of the bananas foster. Overall great trip.
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. Just an awesome experience, we will be back. Thank You Ninh!!!!
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!
We fell in love with this house. I felt like I was staying at a friend’s house in New Orleans. It is gorgeous and you can tell a lot of care and detail went into this house. City park nearby is a must visit. The host was very kind and gave great recommendations. We can’t wait to come back.
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.
The Red Bayou House was the perfect spot for a long weekend… Had anything and everything you’d find in your own house as far as amenities are concerned.. Ninh has set the standard for future rentals.. Couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable place to start and end our days in New Orleans.. Very quiet street in a cool neighborhood.. Just book it…
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.
This house is amazing. Photos don’t do it justice. It has so much charm and character, it’s big but also cozy, and it’s decorated so beautifully! Ninh was the easiest host I’ve ever worked with. Overly accommodating for our early check in and late checkout, and flawless communication.My only regret is that we didn’t get to spend more time in this amazing house because our friends live down the road and we spent most of our time at their place. I really hope to come back and spend more time here. You won’t regret booking this house!
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!
It was absolutely perfect from a very smooth check in, to the amenities and how stocked the house was, to how absolutely stunning the space was decorated and designed. This owner has impeccable taste and absolutely took care of us. The beds were comfy as were the couches, everything was clean and smelled wonderful upon arrival, the outside porch area was so cute and nicely arranged. The owner was super easy to get in touch with if you do need anything and is hospitibal ebough to leave a liat of places to eat and shop with any other informatuon you would need for your stay. It was all incredibly thought out. I wish more stars were possible.
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.
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!
Could not have been happier with our stay and will definitely be back. Both my mom and aunt were raving about it the whole time! Great location and beautiful home with everything you could possibly need. This is the one you're looking for!
Our second stay at this property for the Jazz Fest! Host is very easy to work with, property is gorgeous and location can't be beat! Can't wait to come back.
Ninh”s house was exactly as described. It was within walking of many restaurants and City Park. Ninh responded promptly whenever we contacted him. The home was spotless and very comfortable- from the sofas to the beds. Highly recommend!
We stayed at this property for the second time while visiting our children who live in the same area. The house is immaculate and beautifully appointed. The host is terrific and responsive. The house is in a great location for walking to neighborhood spots including Bayou St. John. Highly recommend this rare find!!
Amazing hostess with the mostest! Answered any questions promptly. Accommodated our flight mishap. The house is beyond amazing and the perfect Mardi Gras vibe!! The guest binder is very detailed and informative. The home is just welcoming immediately. Love, love, love!!! We are already talking about coming back.

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!
