About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.
