Bayou St. John Bungalow

Spend the night in a light-filled apartment in a 19th century Faubourg St. John home, steps from Jazz Fest and oak-lined Esplanade Avenue. This artfully-appointed, 800 sqft mother-in-law unit features a king bed and its own entrance on the ground floor of a large, historic house in a neighborhood Time Out recently rated one of the best on the planet, walkable to restaurants, bars, grocery stores, City Park and Bayou St. John.

We are the only legal, city-permitted short-term rental on our blockface, and we're currently building a saltwater pool that should be ready by early fall 2025.

The apartment sits beneath our family home. We have two young, energetic children who wake up early and you will sometimes hear the pitter patter of their feet above your head. Fortunately, they go to bed early.

Please also note that the ceiling height is roughly 7.5', accommodating my 6'4" father-in-law comfortably. We share the property with a long-term tenant who lives in the carriage house out back. We became the lucky stewards of this 150-year-old house four years ago and are in the midst of lovingly restoring it. So while the insides are fully renovated, some exterior elements remain charmingly shabby chic.

Only guests listed on the reservation are allowed on the property without prior permission from hosts. No firearms are allowed. Please help preserve our linens by making use of the makeup towels provided. Guests will be charged the replacement fee for missing or damaged items, including excessively stained linens.
