Do not let the listing photos fool you! This place is amazing! The absolute best hosts you could ever ask for. Friendly, knowledgeable of the area, and just all around great people. I can ramble on and on about Randal and Tee, they were top notch and I would recommend staying at Blue Bayou if you don't want to be in the busy city but still close enough to enjoy it. 30 minutes to the airport 35 minutes to downtown New Orleans Thank you for your amazing hospitality! We will see you again next time!

We stayed during mardi gras. The most welcoming host I've ever experienced! Our family enjoyed time spent in this spacious home. There were plenty of rooms and each one had something special about it. Beautiful wallpaper, a swing(!), gorgeous armoires. We loved the private parking and ease of getting in and out of the neighborhood. There were bugs around the area, but it's the bayou, that's to be expected! We would def stay again if given the chance. P.S. thanks for the king cake!
The hosts gifted us a king cake during our stay.

Nice Stay on the Bayou

We had a wonderful time staying at the residence. The dock was a great place to sit and fish. The yard is large and fully enclosed so our dogs could run around. Close proximity to New Orleans and many other towns. We would definitely stay there again.

This is a very cute house in the bayou. It fit our group of four very comfortably. Tons of space for a group to spread out inside. Around the outside, there are a few beautiful flower gardens, and plenty of places to sit. The host Randal was always available via text, which I really appreciate. Thank you for the lovely stay.
