Holiday rentals with lake access in Lower Garden District, New Orleans

We traveled to New Orleans to celebrate our son's graduation and Rachels place on the bayou was perfect! Everything was exactly as pictured. We enjoyed the gorgeous ride in with all the spanish moss covered trees and even saw a few gators. Rachel was very responsive to messages and quickly added a night for us (we just weren't ready to leave). 10/10 recommend.

We had the best time experiencing the natural and urban cultures in the bayou! Henry’s place is amazing, clean, comfortable, spacious, tastefully decorated and fun! Crabbing, fishing, hot tubbing, cooking and relaxing in…and venturing into NOLA was so easy with so much to explore …and a day beach trip to Bay St. Louis was a nice surprise with gorgeous and clean white sandy beaches for miles and a cute seaside town. What a gem of a spot! A perfect blend of relaxation and exploration! The perfect family adventure!

We had the best experience at this home! It’s a stunning location. Every window looks out at something beautiful since the house is overlooking water on both the front and back of the house. The host provides everything needed for fishing and a crab cage. We caught 3 crabs and 5 fish and spent very little time or effort trying. Plus there’s a bate shop very close by. The home is a pretty quick drive to the city of New Orleans and a couple other really nice towns. We would certainly recommend this to anyone looking for a safe, peaceful, beautiful place to stay while visiting the area.

The Purple Purch is extremely comfy with everything you need. The lake views are priceless and go on forever. We slept so good! Shannon & Aamie could not have been better hosts. So kind, thoughtful and flexible. Very attentive & responsive when we had a question. If you are looking for peace & serenity on the water away from hustle of downtown N’Orleans then this is your place. Morning coffee outside on screened deck overlooking the lake was everyone’s favorite. The huge sectional allowed all 6 of us space to chill out for a movie night! Absolutely recommend staying at this soul calming place on Lake Catherine! Just what we needed…..😍👏🙌

We loved our stay, the kids caught tons of fish off the dock and Keary was really helpful and friendly - just flat-out good people. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay at Bayou Life. The outdoor space was picturesque, relaxing and spacious. Inside the kitchen was well equipped, the bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed. Any time we had a question, Morgan replied quickly. He gave several great local recommendations. We would definitely stay here again

David and Cassondra were very gracious and set the house up for a good time. My sons fished every morning and every evening. We caught crabs in the traps daily. Plenty of tackle and bait shops nearby. It was a 25 minute drive into downtown New Orleans. So the best of both worlds. The house was stocked with spices and condiments. Really enjoyed our stay and recommend it with 5 stars ⭐️

This is the 2nd time we’ve rented this house and the only complaint I have is how hard it is to leave. Walking back into our own home after the most peaceful, perfect 3-day weekend felt like a letdown—because Sarah’s place is just that special. The house is beautifully maintained, surrounded by wildlife and nature, yet close enough to everything that you can get groceries delivered if needed. It’s the perfect balance of escape and convenience. We’re already looking forward to our next stay!

Very clean with a beautiful view. Sitting on balcony was very peaceful. Great location! Would definitely use again if we return to the area.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay! The location is fantastic — there’s so much to do within just a 10-minute walk. The host was incredibly responsive and kind, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. We truly enjoyed our time there!

Cant say enough, the view, location, the condo, did i mention the view!!!!! most definitely be back!!!

Great location for what we wanted, loved that there was a Cafe du Monde 5 minutes away. Loved the recommendations given by the host. Everything was just as described. Had a relaxing stay. Felt like my own home.

I spent a week with my kids, and family, a total of 5 people and we felt comfortable. the host was very nice and gave us the basics so we did not have to work about finding supplies when we arrived late at night. the area is not close to much but we loved it because it was a calm and quite area. I would definitely visit again.

The apartment was very easy to find. There was ample parking. The host is very responsive to any questions I had.

We had a blast this wknd. Beautiful area near Lake Ponchatrain. Wonderful restaurants. Place was very clean and in a nice area. Enjoyed the mall, zoo, aquarium and all the food we ate. Host allowed us a bit of an earlier check in and communicated well and timely. We didnt have any issues with our stay and would book with them again.
