Fourteen houses. Everyone fits.

Our homes are made for groups of six to ten, whether you are here for a bachelorette weekend, a family reunion, or Jazz Fest with the old crew. Each one has a proper living room, a dining table big enough for everybody, and most have a heated pool in the backyard. Every house is painted and furnished by New Orleans artists, so the house is part of the trip.

Start from your headcount.

A Marais home holds up to 10 guests. If your group is bigger than that, The Syd has six villas around one pool for 11 to 25, and CastleDay goes up to 30. It is all one company and one team.

Made for groups

Built so the whole group is in one space.

The living rooms are built for everybody to pile into at once, with sectionals that seat ten and dining tables built for the house. The kitchens are stocked for a crawfish boil. Everyone gets a real bed and nobody ends up on the couch.

When somebody needs to disappear for an hour, there are five bedrooms with blackout curtains, hotel percale sheets, and a door that closes.

Outdoor living

A heated saltwater pool in the backyard.

Most of our homes have their own saltwater pool, heated in winter and chilled in summer, with in-pool loungers, a long outdoor dining table, a chef's grill, and an outdoor TV. The backyard is where everybody ends up.

We can set up a backyard hibachi night or a crawfish boil.

Original and local

Painted by New Orleans.

Every home is built around one story about this city, and the work inside comes from artists who live here. One house has a twelve foot bird of paradise mural across the living room wall, another has beds built from Louisiana cypress, and one was curated with the New Orleans African American Museum.

We live here. Ask us where to go.

We sort our recommendations by group size and occasion, so we can point you to the restaurant that will seat twelve, the bar with the courtyard, or the parade route worth getting up early for. We can also arrange services at the house so nobody has to leave the pool.
