If you’re looking to have a nice couples weekend in New Orleans, Louisiana then you must read on for some of the best vacation rentals online! As someone who has visited NOLA before and is always eager to return, I’ve researched which rental listings are in prime locations and have what you really need to have the best time! For the purpose of this article we’re planning a kid-free, couples-only weekend get away and so each location is specifically functional for couples only (aka, no room to sleep the kids).

French Quarter Balcony overlooking Bourbon street
Location is Top Priority when visiting NOLA because you want to be in or as close to downtown as possible because there is so much walkability to the town!
You can find this listing here! This adorable place is an upstairs unit in the French Quarter which means it’s close to everything! The decor is adorable, mixing traditional with modern and colorful! The wood floors look original and beams on the ceiling are a nice touch!
This unit is one bed, one bath with a full kitchen! So if you don’t want to eat out every meal or want to be able to put together some meals, you have just enough space to do so here! The door in the kitchen opens up to the balcony that looks down into a private courtyard area!
The room is just stunning with two queen beds (so technically it sleeps 4) and with doors that walk out to the balcony! The old fireplace isn’t functional but the mantle and surround are gorgeous details in this room! I especially love the ceiling moldings!
If you’ve never been to NOLA, these court yards are very specific to the style of architecture common here. A lot of homes in the downtown area have their own private courtyard or multiple units surround a shared courtyard. It’s a great gathering space where you’re bound to make new friends on vacation! And that bathroom was gorgeously renovated, just stunning!
Modern House 6 Blocks to Audubon Park & Zoo
A few good reasons to be close to downtown other than bars and restaurants is that there are a lot of museums, walking tours and fun things to do! You can literally walk your entire weekend there and never run out of things to do, especially with a rental listing like this one!
You can find this listing here! This adorable shot gun style house is less than 800 square feet and not very wide but full of adorable details! It was decorated by a local Interior Designer and I feel like you can tell, everything just flows together nicely! This one bed one bath house has great walkability and plenty of room to sprawl out during your vacation!
I think the olive green on the kitchen cabinets was a unique choice but ended up being very fitting and it goes really well! I think it pairs really nicely with the orange/brown leather couch in the living room!
This small house has a half bath as well as a full bath!
The bedroom is at the back of the house with double doors out to a covered patio area!
The cobblestone patio is private and shaded!
Magazine Street Park-View Suite w/ Private Porch!
Next and last on our list is this adorable little suite within walking distance to everything! Located right on Magazine Street with nice parking to the side and a cozy porch for hanging out!
You can find this listing here! I love the blue colors they chose for the accent of those home, as it goes really well with the white trim and wood accents throughout.
Unlike the other rentals on this list, this one is more like a hotel as it’s all in one room primarily! There is no full kitchen but it does offer a mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot and some dishes. If you’re looking to spend most of your time out exploring and enjoying all the fine foods all around you, this will be a PERFECT weekend get away spot!
The bathroom is nicely upgraded with honeycomb tile and a good sized shower!
This place really feels like an upgraded hotel room but the front porch and proximity to everything offers you that homey feeling! This would be my top pick for my next weekend trip down!
