About this property

Pool, Porches & 3 Large Screens To Relax With and Enjoy

Mid City getaway with private "japoolzzi" swim spa pool, always the right temperature and perfect speed for your need! Fantastic front porch home, nestled in the heart of New Orleans. A traditional New Orleans neighborhood with old homes and light commerce meeting up. Breakfast, lunch and dinner on our block to boot! Convenient to the streetcar, cemeteries, French Quarter, City Park, Bayou St. John.... All the things you need, mere minutes away~~~

The space
Our home is located in the heart of the New Orleans Mid City neighborhood-- a classic New Orleans neighborhood with a combination of old homes, all kinds of local businesses and corner restaurants and bars. There's a little bit of commerce and a whole lot of character!
When you arrive you'll step up to the porch, which stretches lazily across the front of our home. The wrought iron table and chairs provide an excellent spot to sit and enjoy the view of our happy neighborhood with its quiet, but busy vibe. Relax and while away the hours, people watching and beverage sipping. Enjoy grilling and dining al fresco, or wander to the local haunts in the neighborhood.

The entire first floor of our home is yours to enjoy. Inside is spacious, with a cool mix of modern and classic furnishings and finishes. We raised our original home an entire story, and left many of the structural elements from the house raising as a part of the decor and visual history of the new first floor space. We live right upstairs, in our own separate space.

The living room has a large, comfy leather sofa and boasts a 110" drop down movie screen with a theater quality laser projector and a sound system including SONOS and B&W speakers.
The kitchen is ready to cook! We have supplied everything you might need---high end appliances, dishes and utensils, pots and pans, plus a few more things for good measure----Breville toaster oven, Ninja Ultima Blender, Keurig coffee maker, French press, pour over... We also have a standard coffee maker, if you prefer.

 Each of the two spacious  bedrooms has its own, distinct personality. Their common traits are king size beds with  memory foam toppers, loads of fluffy pillows and blankets and SONOS music players. The second bedroom has a 70" smart tv with ROKU and the larger bedroom has an 80" tv with ROKU and its own sitting area to enjoy.

There are two full bathrooms. The front bath has a deep tub for soaking and a generous shower head to wash away the cares of the day. Fluffy robes and towels! Private laundry room in the rear of the bathroom, equipped with stacked washer and dryer, iron and ironing board. There is even a wall safe in the laundry room. The larger bedroom has en suite bathroom with a rain shower head. More fluffy robes and towels!

Step out to the side porch and enjoy your private "japoolzzi" swim spa pool and lounging area. We keep it the perfect temperature for each season. Go with the flow and float away any stresses from the day or swim against the flow and burn off the delicious food you're sure to enjoy while you're here!

Whether you're coming to New Orleans to enjoy the sights, the nightlife, the history or just a quiet getaway, the Porch House is waiting for you.

Even better than expected!
We have stayed in VRBO’s all over the country. This one was by far the best! It’s so well outfitted ~ Doody and Brady have thought of everything! And the TV!! Whoever says we don’t need a TV has not experienced entertainment as it’s set up at this place ~ we enjoyed it so much! The beds are super comfortable and the apt is beautiful. Can’t wait to go back again!

A Wonderful Experience
Everything was perfect, from our arrival to our departure. The property is clean, historic and comfortable with so many amenities. The owners are very responsive, helpful and friendly. The pool is very warm, the porches are perfect for relaxing, the property is perfectly located away from the loud party scene, but close enough to easily get to where you want to be. We loved that the property was so quiet and surrounded by fabulous restaurants and attractions. Stay with the upmost of confidence that you will have no regret in your choice!

The Porch House
The Porch House checks all the boxes. The Canal St streetcar to the French Quarter is 1 block away and Ubers are plentiful. We never waited more than 5 minutes for an Uber and were able to get anywhere we wanted to go within 20 minutes. There are many restaurants within easy walking distance. We ate at Mandina's, Katie's, and Blue Oak BBQ during our 1 week stay and recommend all three. We did our grocery shopping at Rouses Market only a 2 minute drive away. The store is very nice. The neighborhood is quiet and felt very safe. No need to worry about your car with off street parking at your front door. The home is exactly as described. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our Christmas dinner. The beds are very comfortable. The towels and linens are very clean and high quality. The hosts are friendly and responsive. If we return to New Orleans, this is where we will stay.

Mid city magic
Everything about our stay here was exceptional, from the eclectic decor to the thoughtful information on the city and neighborhood. We were so welcomed and felt at home instantly . We were celebrating an anniversary and our hosts made sure we got a few lagniappes- much appreciated!

almost too amazing! I didn't ever want to leave the House
Seriously do yourself a favor and just stop looking for anywhere else to stay! This home kept getting better every single day while we stayed. The hosts are warm fantastic kind folks who had us feeling like we were extended family. I am someone who is notorious in my family for being difficult to please when it comes to the cleanliness of a space. This Host Home felt like I had cleaned it myself! Fantastic. I'd probably visit NewOrleans again just to enjoy the Home and all of its little touches that will make your stay Magical. You watch and see...

About the host

Hosted by brady and doody

Host profile image
We are native New Orleanians with a passion for our city and a zest for life. We built our home with the intention of sharing it with others, that they may understand the true hospitality and generous spirit of our hometown. We're self employed and our employers are always changing our job description! Our wedding vows included the phrase," I promise that it will never be boring". In over seventeen years, it hasn't been!

Why they chose this property

Our home is located in the heart of New Orleans, in the Mid City neighborhood. Mid City is a classic New Orleans neighborhood with a combination of old homes, corner restaurants and bars, a little bit of commerce and a whole lot of character. We're 1/2 block from the Canal St. streetcar, near the Carrollton Ave. intersection. Head towards the river and find the French Quarter, the Superdome or the Marigny. The streetcar going in the opposite direction ( towards the lake) can take you to check out the cemeteries or to City Park, where you can to go to NOMA or get some coffee and beignets at Cafe Du Monde or just stroll through the sculpture garden. The Greenway bike path is just blocks away. Being in Mid City gives you easy access to Uptown, Downtown and the French Quarter, City Park, Bayou St. John and the Fairgrounds, where Jazz Fest is held. Actually, all the fests are convenient when you're in Mid City! Mandina's restaurant and Fullblast Brunch are just out the door---so many restaurants and bars within easy walking distance! Walgreen's is 3 blocks, Rouse's grocery store is 5 blocks and Whole Foods just 2 miles away. We even have a yoga studio in stretching distance! From sipping cocktails outside at Finn McCool's, to grabbing a coffee at French Truck to wandering down Bayou St. John to City Park, there are so many awesome things to do in our neighborhood!

What makes this property unique

When we first bought our home, it was a one story shotgun double that had been neglected for years and then forgotten after hurricane Katrina. We fell in love with it and soon lifted it up in the air and added porches all around! The little house became the Porch House! We created this  fantastic  porch home for folks to have a retreat from the hustle and bustle when they come to visit our action packed city. We love sharing our Mid City getaway with guests from all over the world!
