Down on Dauphine...Secluded in the French Quarter
Year Purchased: 2006
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
My condo is located right in the heart of the French Quarter. On one corner of the street (St Ann) you can look down the street and see the awnings on the Cafe Du Monde and on the other street corner (Orleans) you can see the back of the St. Louis Cathedral. You're just one street over from Bourbon, the biggest street party in the world but Dauphine is considered a residential area so you can escape the noise in my tranquil courtyard right out the front door of my condo.
Shopaholics....Saks, Pottery Barn, William Sonoma, Kenneth Cole & many more.....
Owner's Map of French Quarter
I have owned my condo for 5 years in the heart of the French Quarter. I love the French Quarter and I was coming down so much that I decided to buy a place in the Quarter. I have never regreted my decision to be a part of New Orleans and the opportunity to share my condo with others that feel the same. Brad, Jackson, Mississippi

Wonderful Experience!

Down on Dauphine is one of the best experiences I've had in many years of renting through VRBO. Brad could not be a more accommodating host, and everything that was promised was delivered - and then some. Down on Dauphine is a charming home away from home, with all of the conveniences. Imagine staying in the "guest house" of a real Creole Cottage in the French Quarter! Near everything and close enough to walk to see the sights, but far enough away from the noise of Bourbon Street to be able to sleep soundly at night. The place was impeccably clean and comfortable and furnished like I would furnish my own home. Thanks Brad for a great stay! We will be back.

Down on Dauphine exceeded our expectations in every way. The location was fantastic! It was within walking distance for all French Quarter sights and activities. We did have a car but only used it if we wanted to go to other parts of New Orleans. We have successfully used VRBO before but this was our best experience mainly because the owner, Brad, was so helpful and ensured we had all our questions answered in addition to providing us with local dining and entertainment guides. Staying in a beautifully furnished condo complete with Mardi Gras tree (made a great Christmas tree for us) was SO SO SO much more fun than a hotel. Experiencing midnight Christmas Eve Mass at St Louis Cathredral was a highlight. Even though we just got to stay 4 nights, we actually felt part of the local community. We cooked some meals in after shopping at the local corner grocer. Easy walking distance to local eating establishments that were very good. Overall, my husband and I would highly recommend Down on Dauphine and hope we get to come back soon!!

We stayed at Down on Dauphine in late September 2011. We have had many pleasant experiences with VRBO rentals, however, this was one of the best. Brad was wonderful to work with from organizing the visit to calling us to be sure all was ok after we arrived. The condo is beautifully decorated. It couldn't be in a better location. Just a block off of Bourbon St but you'd never know there was a party going on just a block away. The condo and private courtyard are very quiet and beautifully hidden away from the action. Thank you Brad. We hope to return again one day soon.

Arrived back home yesterday from a mother/daughters adventure in New Orleans, which was made all the more wonderful with this fantastic condo. The location couldn't have been better, the decor was amazing, it was clean and everything we needed was there. I would highly recommend this property! It was perfect for the three of us, the pull out couch was comfortable for one person, but could certainly fit two in a pinch. Thank you Brad, for being so accommodating and sharing your home.....we couldn't have wished for a nicer place to stay!

Even tho Dan and I did not have the pleasure of meeting Brad in person, just talking with him on the phone I knew we were in for a great place and we were not dissapointed!! Charming, beautiful, comfortable bed and very clean was what we hoped for, and what we recieved. The condo is within walking distance to everything!! We have rented from VRBO for the past 6 years and this is by far the best!! Thank-you Brad, and hopefully we will return. Dan and Vicki Tuttle

Brad & Mark, I appreciate you letting Holly & I stay at "Down on Dauphine". The anticipation was well worth it for Holly & I. The place is beautiful! We will never come back to New Orleans without staying here. Worth every dime and more. You guys certainly go the extra mile to make this place feel like home not vacation. The decor is stunning and everything fits perfectly. As for the location:) well we haven't seen our car since we arrived! Everything is in walking distance which is fabulous. Holly had an amazing birthday weekend!!!! I had a great time too! My favorite part is being able to sit in the courtyard first thing and relax. I haven't felt this relaxed in years! Thank you both again for allowing us to stay. We couldn't stop telling everyone about it. Spencer & Holly Cade

We stayed in this beautiful condo for four nights, and had a trip that we will never forget. The condo is right in the middle of the french quarter. The condo itself is beautiful and the owners were extremely friendly and accommodating. The location is perfect, you don't need taxis or transportation as everything is easily in walking distance. I highly recommend this condo for anyone who wants to get a real feel for New Orleans. We will definitely be traveling back to New Orleans, and we will most certainly be staying in this romantic condo once again.

Condo and courtyard......beautiful and owner Brad extremely gracious. Very close to everything. Bed upstairs very comfortable. Couple of complaints in that we had someone renting the condo across the courtyard and every night she would complain about us talking or playing music...requesting that we stop talking and turn music off...so her daughters could get to sleep. We complied the first night thinking these were children. Next day we saw her daughters and they both looked about 20/21 years of age. THIS on vacation in N"alwins at 10pm at night! Not at all late... and mind you we were playing Diana Krall..... not loud music. (not Brads fault) we ended up with neighbor/renter such as this.) Neighbors Allison and other/gentleman/forget his name?.who live there year round.... very nice. There were four of us staying in the condo and we ran out of washcloths within a day. No sheets on the pull out mattress/sofa downstairs so had to give them ours/from upstairs bed. Only one bath so if guests had to use restroom had to "holler up" to make sure it was okay to come up. It worked out fine. Had to move car all the time (our fault..shouldn't have rented!) b/c of street being cleaned. Brad called a couple of times to check up on us. All and all would highly recommend this condo. Just pray that particular lady is not renting across from you. We ended up having "words. This was my nieces 21st B'day and her and her best friend (we flew them down for four nights) had the time of their lives! Sofa bed a bit uncomfortable for them but when you're 21 in N'awlin's...you don't care!! (neither of them drink) but did enjoy the "show" that is Bourbon St. You will not be disappointed. We travel often and were very pleased with most everything. Thank you Brad!

This was our honeymoon destination. The condo was so well kept, and the owner is exceptionally gracious. Conveniently 1 street over from Bourbon St., so you are not in the action, but only a 1 minute walk from the festivities. The place was super clean, well furnished, and very comfortable. I would recommend highly!!
