The place was over priced

I'm really not sure how we were so lucky to find this property - it was everything we wanted for a long weekend and more. Often with rentals the pictures look great and set high expectations for a trip, and reality just doesn't quite live up to the magic of the pictures. This property is EXACTLY what you see in the posted pictures. It's crazy, in the most wonderful way. Sturdy, whimsical, quirky, unique, comfortable, secluded, spacious, convenient, clean. Just a few words that come to mind when thinking back on our vacation. We love "places with spaces," and this property has so many individual spaces with character. The pool is beautiful and clean - and very well lit at night. The area around the pool is comfortable and spacious. A couple can choose from multiple places to relax, or a group of 10 could easily spread out and find their own spaces. Two fire pits, the covered area with pool table, the extended patio from the kitchen with outdoor curtains, or the kitchen itself, which can be closed up and heated/cooled or left open on all sides to enjoy the breezes while you cook. The living room was a great place to watch the big game, with a large smart TV - and the doors along the side of the living room all open and the flexible TV mount allows for viewing from the pool as well. We were blessed with perfect weather and left this room fully open for most of our vacation. The master bedroom is like a little fantasy suite - again very quirky and unique. I don't believe the master shower is pictured, but it is large and has jets in every direction. There is a good sized closet in this room as well to unpack without cluttering the room. As with the living room, the bedroom doors can be completely opened to the outside. The second bedroom is comfortable and spacious, has a full bath with another large shower, and is connected to a laundry room with a second full sized refrigerator. There is a well-equipped exercise room and a very cool game room. And all of this is behind a private gate with a remote. Marcus is a fantastic host and we were so glad that he was on site when we arrived to give us a full tour and show us controls for the pool, lighting, gate, etc. He was also very responsive during our stay when we had some questions that were not related to the property. We will be returning to this property and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

A true sanctuary. Private and secluded. The owner Marcus is remarkable. It’s a must stay when visiting New Orleans. We debated staying here versus a hotel downtown NOLA and opted here. Best decision ever. Everything you need is in the barndominium. Safe, gated and transcending. Thank you Marcus for offering your space to us.
