About this property
Relax on Lake Pontchartrain
Unique modern home that sits on the banks of Lake Pontchartrain that has a front porch 25` x 20` that faces Lake Pontchartrain and rear porch that faces the marina & Southern Yacht Club. Open floor plan with two distinct living spaces. Only 8 mi from French Quarter. Guests rave over the porches as a place to relax while hanging out with family or friends or just reading a book! `Sunsets are just breathtaking`
Perfect place to relax - open space where everyone can find their own spot to relax. Whether it is in a sofa, chair, bed or floor on the inside - or sofa or chair on a porch - or sitting on the dock fishing or crabbing - you will find your place to enjoy your time at the Boathouse!
You have access to all the living space and porches on the second floor - and access to parking, and docks on the first floor. Docks can be used for fishing & crabbing.
We`re here for as much as you need us! Just ask!
Unique area of New Orleans named West End - dating back to the early 1800`s. Originally built as a resort, the area now houses the boating community of New Orleans. There is a park with a running and walking path - as well as areas along the rocky shore. Locals come to the area to fish, crab, launch their boats and watch sunsets - just to name a few! The area was impacted by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and has since been rebuilt. The marina and shoreline were rebuilt in 2019.
It is 1.1 miles to the bus stop on the corner of Robert E. Lee and Lakeshore Drive (Lakeview Line #45) - about a 20 minute walk. That line will get you to the Base of Canal Street (Cemeteries Transportation Center) where you can catch the Street Car into the city at Canal St & City park Avenue.
Of course, there is always uber and taxi`s.

We had a wonderful time at this gorgeous house. It was the perfect location, and very comfortable. We cooked a delicious Thanksgiving dinner in the huge kitchen and enjoyed it on the porch overlooking the marina. Highly recommend and would love to stay again.
4 adult males enjoyed the outside areas both in front and back. The space was perfect for us. The view of the Southern yacht club was beautiful. The park area in front was very nice
We loved this property! Beautiful views, quiet, calm and yet close to all of the attractions we wanted to visit. It was a great place to stay during Mardi Gras!
Very responsive and helpful host. We had such a beautiful stay at this beautiful property. Very nice area with beautiful sunset views! Definitely would book again!
We stay at the Boathouse EVERY time we are in New Orleans. We cannot say enough good things about the space and the hosts. Its a short drive in to the FQ, we can fish, relax, and just feel right at home. The Boathouse never disappoints!
Great experience! Even though the weather was rainy for several days it was still very enjoyable. Well furnished, clean and spacious. We have our boat at the marina so it was very convenient to get into the lake quickly.
The place was great and the communication with the owner was amazing. Very easy commute to downtown with nice restaurants and grocery stores nearby. Would definitely consider staying again.

Wonderful place and stay.
The home is exactly as it appears in the pictures with views of the marina and lake to the back and front of the house, respectively. We had a wonderful and quiet time while being close to the great food and music of the French Quarter. I enthusiastically recommend this place, especially to families.

Sorry that we did not get a 5 star rating - and I know it is because the igloo home key box malfunctioned. Thank you for your patience - and your willingness to help me try and fix it over the phone (to no avail). For this reason a second key box is being installed tomorrow so this will never happen again. I never anticipated a need for two key boxes, but it will have two now:). Thank you again for your patience - and glad you had a nice stay at the house and in New Orleans.
A beautiful property extremely well laid out. So nice to sit on one deck and hear the masts of the boats in the marina and the other deck to watch the sailing regatta
We loved the property & location. We were close to a lot of things! 10/10

Glad you had a great time enjoying the views - both the front and the back porches! Yes the sailboats are a ton of fun to watch - especially for Wednesday night sailboat races! We look forward to having you back soon....
We were in for my daughters wedding and what a wondereful place to stay. Relaxing &peaceful from all the hustle and bustle of New Orleans, but minutes from everything !!! We defininyrly will come again!!! Great place !!!!
The level of professionalism from start to finish was outstanding. We stayed a this beautiful location previously and look forward to staying there in the future.
The boat house is spacious and comfortable. Located in a convenient area of the NOLA Lake Front with exceptional views. The front porch is absolutely perfect for morning coffee and the back porch for afternoon cocktails. Accommodations are extremely comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. We will definitely stay here again for our next trip to the NOLA.

Great location, view, and host!
The boathouse is beautiful. Very close to all NOLA has to offer at a great rate compared to all hotels in the city. The owner was very quick to respond to communication and willing to help with any and everything. I highly recommend the rental and will definitely be checking availability for my next trip to NOLA!

Kacy - We enjoyed having you and your friends join us at the Boathouse! Thank yo for the compliments - We look forward to your next stay!
We had a great week staying at this adorable boathouse. The location was extremely convenient to Southern Yacht Club where our kids were doing sailing clinic as well as shops, restaurants and grocery stores in the Lakeview neighborhood. We would definitely stay at this property again and would recommend it to friends looking for a Lakefront getaway!
