Forget The Resorts, Rent This Charming Waterfront Place In New Orleans Instead

New Orleans is a hotspot for visitors – which means there are so many luxe hotels and resorts right in the city. But while those accommodations are gorgeous and fun, there are some truly amazing places slightly off the beaten path to stay at when you're visiting this vibrant city. For example, consider this waterfront VRBO rental in New Orleans which has so much to offer.

When it comes to finding a place to stay in New Orleans, we think one of the nicest spots is this gorgeous rental on Lake Catherine.

It's just a short drive (less than 25 miles) from this lakefront Louisiana VRBO rental to the heart of New Orleans: The French Quarter.

In total, the rental sleeps 6 people, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

It's a cozy space with plenty of room for a small group!

One great thing about the home is that it's very light and airy.

We love a space with a lot of windows!

The house is all very chic, modern, and clean.

Plus, you have all the amenities you need, like Smart TVs, laundry, and central heat and AC.

The multiple bathrooms are so nice, too. We love the deep soaking bathtub and the walk-in shower!

It would be great to take a relaxing bath here after a long day exploring New Orleans.

But the highlight of the spot is its location right on Lake Catherine.

The waterfront views are just so gorgeous, and you can admire them from the massive porch.

If you love to fish, you can hang out on the pier here.

There are also crab traps — so you can go crabbing, too!

Or spend your time outside enjoying the swing.

It's so lovely by this pretty lake, it's almost difficult to tear yourself away to go explore New Orleans!

And of course, not only are you by New Orleans' French Quarter and right on Lake Catherine, you're close to Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge in this waterfront rental in New Orleans. There's just so much to do here!
