House is clean and tidy, neighborhood is quiet. It is a good base if you are spending time out and about.
We did have a few items to note for others considering this property.
First - Verizon cell service was not good. Wifi only worked well in the kitchen and living room area. We had to go out at 10pm to buy a new baby monitor as the wifi one we had would not connect due to the gatekept system.
Second - something that should be made clear in the listing is that the house is owned by a commercial leasing company and is run like a hotel. The address when you book may not be the address you are staying. Since it is not mentioned up front it was extremely confusing when the address changed on check in day. The houses are all in the same area and built exactly the same so it was fine. Just left us worried the last few hours of our drive until we got there and could see.
Third - for a new build there were a lot of little things wrong. Anything we brought to their attention was addressed in a timely manner (toilet leak, shower valve, wasps nest). We did not mention several small annoyances as we could work around them. It ended up seeming overpriced for the quality.
Lastly, we found out late Thursday that tropical storm Ida was on its way and expected to hit New Orleans as a category 3 hurricane. On Friday a voluntary evacuation order had been issued for the area we were in and we had to decide if we were going to leave or stay the one more night of our reservation. Despite Ida not making landfall before Sunday we took into account that we were traveling with a baby, we had friends who had been in hurricanes advise us to get out, and we knew we would be of no help if things turned quickly. We left Friday. Saturday the news reports showed the highway at a standstill. Ida by then was a category 4. We did reach out to see if any kind of refund may be offered for the one night, we were told no since the evacuation wasn’t mandatory.
This house is not a bad place to stay and is in a location that is easy to get to anything you want to do.
We are left with a feeling of profit put before the guests. From the overlook of details in the construction to the disregard of the safety of guests (and quite frankly the safety of the residents dealing with a hurricane themselves)
