great location - Steven was spot on with his recommendation of Mais Arepas restaurant right across the street!Walking distance (15. mins) to Canal St and French Quarter.
The unit is perfect for a couple wanting to enjoy New Orleans. Location is walkable to all you want to see. And don't miss out on Mais Arepas right across the street for dinner. Host and all involved with him were just a pleasure. We will definitely be back!
Our stay at Pelican Point was a highlight of our trip to NOLA. The apartment came with all we needed to relax. The extra amenities of having a washer/dryer and the bikes came in handy and were appreciated. Location was ideal as it was just a short drive to anywhere we wanted to be.
I rented this cute little spot for my brother and niece while I stayed in a spot across the street. The check in process was easy and host was communicative. The place was nice and clean, all the usual amenities. Close access to a streetcar stop and plenty of restaurants and shops that were within walking distance, too. We would book again!
Property was clean, conveniently located, spacious, and comfortable. Lots of extras that made our stay even better. Access to a water purifier, bikes, and laundry were all helpful. Walking distance to public transportation, the WWII museum, convenience store, and restaurants. I hope to stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
We liked the location of this property. Walkable to FQ, St Charles and Magazine streets and the waterfront near the aquarium. The space was comfortable and spacious enough for 2-4 with good amenities. Our host Steven was very prompt with responses and helpful. We also appreciated the great guest book Steven put together with suggestions for food, drink and sightseeing. We would stay here again.
Nice one bedroom with a fold out couch in the living room area. The kitchen is supplied with most everything you'll need to make dinner. The neighborhood is quiet and just a mile walk to Canal street. The courtyard is beautiful. I'd definitely stay at this property again were I too return to New Orleans.
We stayed 3 nights for a Volleyball tournament. Location was great. A very short Uber drive to the French Quarter. We went to dinner and were unsure if we locked the door. Messaged owner and they went over and locked up for us! The unit was clean and cozy. The courtyard/backyard was a great spot to relax in the evening.
Although the direct surroundings are not very nice, there some restaurants in walking distance. Mr.Ed‘s Oysters and Seafood we liked a lot. Getting to the French quarter with the train is easy. Parking on the street right in front of the condo is easy and available.
Enjoyed the accommodations, very clean and well maintained inside and courtyard area. Had small issue with laundry area that owner took care of immediately. Only negative we had was lack of parking available street only with cafe across the street. Very close to freeway with homeless encampment but was within walking distance of Bourbon Street and many activities
Convenient to St Charles Ave trolley. Lots of neighborhood improvements underway. Close to the WWII Museum, too.
It was farther from the convention center than I thought, but I managed. It is very close to the Pontchartrain Expressway and several homeless camps which might be off-putting to some.
This property is great! We were walking distance to everything we wanted to see (World War 2 Museum, French Quarter) and discovered a number of great neighborhood restaurants during our stay. (Check out Willa Jean’s for breakfast!) The property itself is just as described. The backyard was great for unwinding at the end of a long day. And we really appreciated the water purifier! Everything was clean and in working condition.
Nice place. Very clean. As described. Close to everything. Stayed here 3 nights while in town for a volleyball tournament. No issues with neighborhood; and no issues communicating with owner. Homeless camps close by but never felt unsafe. A lot of roadwork going on in the area making for rough rides and many pot holes. Overall would stay again.
Steven had wonderful communication and was very helpful. Was great to have laundry facilities. The homeless encempment under the overpass made me a little nervous when walking at ight. Just be sure ti use the St. Charles streetcar so that you do not need to go under the overpass. We highly recommend Magazine Pizza just a few blocks away.
The only downside was that the dishwasher wasnt working and stepping in fire ants on the back walkway when it was dark. Other than that, a great stay.
The property manager was really helpful and quick to respond. I messaged about coffee filters and they were outside in a matter of minutes, like magic. The property has neat NOLA artwork, the patio is nice. Short jaunt to the streetcar or you can walk downtown.
The overpass with homeless encampments was… honestly scary. I’m not generally bothered by that stuff (especially nowadays), but there was a guy walking in front of traffic with a knife out that got too close to us. We avoided it after that and cut down to the streetcar instead of walking up.
Place looked nice. Don't think it was in a good neighborhood. Contact with the host was not easy and thrubthe phone imposible. Place was advertised as a two bedroom and its only a one. Have this on text from the owner. Having a heck of a time getting my money back. Don't recommend this place

Response from VrboOwner on 17 September 2024
You did not end up staying at this apartment so please do not leave a one-star review, you left immediately after check-in with the apartment being advertised as a one bedroom with a sleeper sofa bed due to confusion about the listing.
You were given a 100% refund even after not cancelling the reservation on your end which did not allow me to rebook the apartment.
I will be notifying VRBO regarding this review.
We had a wonderful time at Pelican Point. The condo was perfect
