Private properties keep your crew together with private outdoor space, kitchens for feeding everyone, and no front desk to worry about.

Built for Groups
Castleday Retreats
Three purpose-built luxury villas in the Bywater—The Herald, The Cocodrie, and The Florentine (ADA-accessible). With 12 bedrooms and 17 real beds per villa, a crew of 16 spreads out and most people get their own room—and you don't need to fill it. Private heated pool & hot tub, outdoor kitchen, basketball court, chef's kitchen with dual appliances, and a 24/7 staffed entrance behind fully fenced, gated grounds. 10 minutes to the French Quarter, 25 to the airport. Take all three villas and host around 90.
The Syd
Six villas ranging from 5 to 10 bedrooms, each with a private courtyard and pool, finished with local art. Book one or multiple for your Mardi Gras crew.
Booking Tips
Book Months Ahead
Groups of 20+ book a median of about five months out—and Mardi Gras is the scarcest week of the year for villas that hold 14-30 people. If you're waiting, someone else is booking.
Do the Per-Person Math
On a normal weekend, 16 people splitting a villa works out to roughly $100-150 per person per night. Mardi Gras week prices higher—but splitting one villa still beats Mardi Gras hotel rates, and you don't need to fill every bed.
Minimum Stays Apply
Most properties require 4-7 night minimums during Mardi Gras. Plan to stay the full stretch—you'll want to anyway.
