Welcome to Windward, a beautiful waterfront retreat with a private pool located just minutes from New Orleans and the world-famous French Quarter. Offering the perfect combination of relaxation, comfort, and convenience, Windward allows guests to experience all the excitement of New Orleans while enjoying the peace, space, and privacy of a waterfront home.

Many visitors dream of experiencing New Orleans but prefer not to stay in a crowded hotel or small downtown apartment. Windward provides a unique alternative. Located in Slidell, just about 25 minutes from the heart of the French Quarter via Interstate 10, this spacious waterfront home gives guests easy access to New Orleans while offering amenities that are nearly impossible to find in the city itself, including a private pool, waterfront views, outdoor living space, and ample parking.

Whether you're visiting for Jazz Fest, French Quarter Festival, Mardi Gras, a Saints game, a convention, a family vacation, a fishing trip, or simply a relaxing getaway, Windward serves as the perfect home base for your Louisiana adventure.

THE PROPERTY

From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the relaxed waterfront atmosphere that makes Windward such a special destination. The home is situated along the water, providing beautiful views and a peaceful setting where guests can unwind after a day exploring New Orleans.

The private pool is one of the property's most popular features. Spend your mornings enjoying coffee poolside, cool off during warm Louisiana afternoons, or relax in the evening while watching the sunset reflect off the water. Families love having a private pool where children can play while adults enjoy the outdoor seating areas and waterfront scenery.

The outdoor spaces are designed for enjoying Louisiana's unique climate and natural beauty. Whether you're grilling, dining outdoors, fishing from the dock, watching boats pass by, or simply relaxing with a favorite beverage, Windward offers a true waterfront experience.

Inside, the home provides spacious accommodations designed for comfort and convenience. Large gathering spaces allow families and friends to spend quality time together while still having room to spread out and relax. Comfortable furnishings, modern amenities, and thoughtful touches throughout the property help create a welcoming atmosphere that feels like a true home away from home.

The fully equipped kitchen provides everything needed to prepare meals, from quick breakfasts before heading into New Orleans to family dinners after a day of sightseeing. Nearby seafood markets and restaurants make it easy to enjoy some of the Gulf Coast's famous cuisine.

WHY GUESTS LOVE WINDWARD

One of Windward's greatest advantages is its location. Guests can enjoy all the attractions of New Orleans without dealing with many of the inconveniences that come with staying downtown.

Instead of paying expensive parking fees, navigating heavy traffic, and staying in smaller accommodations, guests enjoy a spacious waterfront home with private amenities and convenient access to the city.

Many visitors are surprised by how quickly they can reach the French Quarter. In approximately 25 minutes, you can be walking through Jackson Square, listening to live jazz on Frenchmen Street, dining at world-famous restaurants, exploring Bourbon Street, or taking a streetcar ride through the historic neighborhoods of New Orleans.

After a busy day in the city, you'll appreciate returning to the comfort and tranquility of your waterfront retreat.

LOCAL WATERFRONT LIVING

Enjoy fishing, boating, birdwatching, and beautiful sunsets right outside your door. The peaceful surroundings create a relaxing environment that feels far removed from city life while remaining conveniently close to major attractions.

Slidell also offers excellent local restaurants, waterfront dining, shopping, and outdoor recreation opportunities. Lake Pontchartrain, nearby bayous, and coastal waterways provide endless opportunities for boating and fishing enthusiasts.

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

What truly makes Windward special is its ability to offer guests the best of both worlds. Spend the day exploring one of America's most exciting cities, then return to a peaceful waterfront home where you can relax by the pool, enjoy the views, and recharge for another day of adventure.

    Wished the pool was heated, and we had to clean it out of just basic debris, not a big deal. House was nice and as expected.

    Chosen for close proximity to New Orleans, but the Slidell Area turned out to be fantastic too! Do not overlook the restaurants here.

    This is our 3rd summer of staying in the same home. Lisa is very responsive when texted. The neighborhood and accessibility to highways are great! We have a large family and we all enjoyed the variety in spaces including the fishing dock, pool and living quarters. This home is close to lots of great restaurants and local establishments. We stayed for a week, so if you have a large group and are staying longer than a few days, one recommendation would be to bring your own pool towels and expect to buy household items like toilet paper and paper towels. Overall a wonderful stay and memories with our family.

    My boyfriend and I wanted a place close to New Orleans and I also wanted a place on the water with a pool. This house fit the bill for all of that! Every part of our stay was great - the house was nice and clean and very well stocked and would be great for a larger group as well

    Overall the stay was wonderful. Laundry was left in front of the washing machine, remote never worked for the main TV even after being serviced, and plugs/main light was not working in the master bedroom which made a c-pap machine difficult. You can download the Vizio remote app on your phone to work the TV if needed. I also recommend bring beach towels as there were 2 in the house. Step to the pool needs to be made more prominent/different color from deck. Had 2 people in our party fall. The actual pool could use a railing to get out easier. House was lovely though. Pool was a wonderful addition to the stay! The view is also gorgeous and some of the best beds I have ever slept on. Kitchen is also well stocked with appliances and pots/pans/dishes. If you prepare with notes from above, you will have an amazing stay! Highly recommend this location. Nice distance from New Orleans also!

    Only thing we were worried about was there were no safety locks on the doors to keep our grandson from going out back, where the lake and pool were. We made our own. So if you stay, just bring a little portable lock that you can buy on Amazon. The pool was alittle cloudy. Otherwise the house was awesome, loved the neighborhood.

    My friends and I had a lovely stay here, great location and close to lots of great food choices and not far from French quarter. Rain didn’t let us enjoy the pool, but the back patio was very nice to hang out at.

    The area is lovely with all the channels, very walkable neighborhood. The home fit our group of 10 perfectly. I would suggest bringing some beach chairs with you to use on the deck as there weren't beach chairs or additional seating to use out by the pool other than the outdoor table and chairs and the 2 loungers. Not far to drive for Sams club, Aldi and local grocery store which was convenient for grabbing food for the week. Its about 30 min drive into NOLA, and 30 minute drive the other way to wondeful beach town so the location was great! Lisa was very quick to respond to any questions or needs. All in all, nice place to stay.

    Outdoor space was very relaxing. It has easy access with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the first floor for people with limited mobility. We would have enjoyed having chairs in the bedrooms. There was an amble supply of towels. My impression is that whoever owns or manages this property, has never stayed here or monitored the housekeeping.
