Experience & Stay
More Than a Place
to Stay
A private sanctuary layered with history, soul, and the unmistakable spirit of old New Orleans.
Welcome to Casa de Margarita
The soul of Casa de Margarita lives in the details.
Inside, the home feels less like a rental and more like a memory — layered with generations of collected stories, heirloom furniture, vintage finds, and the unmistakable spirit of old New Orleans. Mardi Gras throws from years past, weathered wood, nostalgic textures, and family pieces gathered over decades create a space that feels warm, lived-in, and deeply personal.
There's a certain magic here that reminds you of visiting your grandparents' home as a child — the comfort of familiar objects, soft light through old windows, conversations that linger long after dinner, and rooms filled with character instead of perfection.
Every corner carries a sense of history. Nothing is overly polished or staged. The beauty is in the collected layers: eclectic furnishings, soulful imperfections, local touches, and spaces designed for slowing down and reconnecting.
Beyond the interiors, the tropical courtyard and soaking pool offer a hidden garden escape tucked behind the historic cottage walls — intimate, peaceful, and unmistakably New Orleans.
Casa de Margarita is a home meant to be experienced, not just stayed in.
