Vacation Rentals in Gentilly, New Orleans

For a New Orleans getaway reminiscence of the local way of life, you’ll love a stay in Gentilly. Located in the north of the city, surrounded by water on 3 sides, this neighborhood mixes homey qualities in a fun university environment.

Enjoy slow mornings by Lake Ponchartrain, afternoons strolling the campuses of University of New Orleans or Dillard University, evenings spent eat, drinking, and playing in City Park, and fully restful nights at our top-rated vacation rental homes.

Just north of the heart of the city, you’ll be close enough to venture into the French Quarter and other tourist hotspots but far enough away that you’ll get a true sense of Louisiana on your trip. Have plenty of space to spread out in your rental thanks to an abundance of single family homes in Gentilly.

From the moment you check-in, you’ll be relaxed and ready to explore this laid-back slice of the Bayou.

Our vacation homes come with:

  • Impressive kitchens
  • Separate living room and bedrooms
  • Fresh linens
  • Air conditioning
  • Free wifi
  • Washer/dryer units in each property

Some of our properties are also pet-friendly and come with free off-street parking, so be sure to check the fine print of each listing if this is a priority for you.

Spectacular location a block away from Magazine St, spacious and clean, good communication. Not quite as glamorous as the photos suggest, e.g. there are a few holes in the wooden floor you do not want to stumble upon barefoot. All in all, though, ...
