We loved staying at Joey’s Place. It’s a beautiful historic shotgun-style home(the name is misleading, just means they maximize square footage by not having hallways). We felt safe there and it was quiet and peaceful sitting on the front porch swing.
There were countless “shoot I forgot to bring...xyz” moments and then I’d turn around and realize Joey had just what I needed already in the house!
We had a long day of travel prior to arriving and once I set my things down all I wanted was an adult beverage...what do you know I open the fridge, and much to my delight it was stocked with beer & peach bellies! Can’t thank him enough for that moment!
This home is over a century old, so if you prefer a new posh home rather than a historic gem filled with charming eclectic NOLA-style-decor...or prefer a walk in shower rather than a than an antique claw-foot tub with a playful ocean themed shower curtain...then this might not be the right fit for you.
The ferry is a quick and safe 5 minute walk and is a neat experience. It’s only $2 to ride it and they let you take your drinks with you on the ferry. It runs very 30 mins. I met a lot of great locals on my ferry trips, they were more than happy to give me tips and recommendations on where to go and made it even more fun.
All in all, a great experience, and I would highly recommend!
