The Most Unique Airbnb Rentals in and Around New Orleans (You Won’t Believe #5 Exists) – Big Easy

New Orleans rewards the curious. If you know where to look, the metro hides treehouses, houseboats, carriage houses, corner stores reborn as homes, and backyards that feel like pocket resorts. I searched across New Orleans and the surrounding area, as well as nearby waterfront pockets so you can bookmark the stays that actually stand out.

1. Uptown Historic Compound with a private pool and spa
   A walled oasis near the streetcar with a true resort vibe. Groups spread out across lounge areas then drift to the heated pool and hot tub at night.

2. Creole corner store turned home in the Marigny
   An 1830s corner grocery transformed into a two level residence. Original bones meet bright contemporary interiors a few blocks from Frenchmen. Airbnb

3. Historic Victorian shotgun in the heart of the city
   If you want the classic long hall feel and cypress walls, this lovingly preserved shotgun delivers the archetypal New Orleans layout with character to spare. 

4. Treme time capsule close to everything
   Fourteen foot ceilings. Big windows. Old New Orleans scale. You are five blocks from the French Quarter yet in a real neighborhood with real mornings. 

5. A renovated Bywater art house with rock and roll swagger
   A Dwell noted five thousand square foot creative space in the Bywater owned by the team behind Hedwig. It feels like a gallery set you actually live in.

6. Waterfront family base with private dock
   Launch days on the water and nights in the Quarter. This four bedroom stay in nearby Slidell marries boat life with city access which is rare at this price point. 

7. The Peace of Soul treehouse retreat
   Yes a real Bogalusa treehouse stay within an easy escape of the city. Floor to canopy river views and a quiet deck that makes time slow down. You will tell stories about this one. 

8. St Charles Avenue treehouse room near the streetcar
   A top floor aerie nicknamed the Treehouse with stained glass, a dedicated bath, and the Avenue as your front yard. Iconic line. Iconic ride. 

9. Houseboat hideaway for anglers and kayakers
   Wake up on the water with a rustic deck, nearby fishing, and the kind of sunrise you never get from a hotel window. Bring your sense of adventure to this Morgan City oasis.

10. Algiers Point cottage across the river from the Quarter
    A calm guest house in one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. Walk to the ferry for the best skyline views in town and an easy glide to Canal Street. Airbnb
