Girls trip · New Orleans
The girls trip house: one villa, the whole group, a pool that keeps your hours.
The annual trip, the milestone weekend, the long-promised reunion: whatever brings the group back together, it deserves one address. Every CastleDay villa puts everybody behind one front door with a private heated pool and hot tub, a real bed for every name, and the French Quarter ten minutes away.
The short answer
Where does a big girls trip actually stay in New Orleans?
The usual plan falls apart at about ten people: the listings shrink, the group splits across two rentals, and half the trip happens in a group chat trying to coordinate rides. Each CastleDay villa sleeps up to 30 across 12 bedrooms and 17 beds, with a heated pool, hot tub, courtyard and turf games lawn that belong to your group alone. And it’s a licensed hotel that feels like a house: inspected, legal, city permit 24-XSTR-24029.
The good days here have a shape. Coffee happens on the porch, the pool holds everyone from late morning on (floats welcome), and the copper rain shower over the water is where the group photo takes itself. When it’s time to dress for dinner, there are mirrors in every room and natural light all day. The ride to the Quarter or Frenchmen Street runs about ten minutes, and the hot tub stays warm for the debrief.
Whatever the weekend needs comes to the gate: hair and makeup, a bartender for the pool, decorators for the milestone banner. A brass band books straight through us and turns the courtyard into a second line. For the big dinner out, ask the team: we know the rooms that seat the whole group without a fight.
A recent guest, Nancy, put her weekend this way: “I had a 30th Anniversary Vow Renewal Girls Trip. We had a blast. The place was amazing. Pics are very accurate.” The Bed Map on every villa page shows all seventeen beds, room by room, so rooms are settled in the group chat before anyone packs.
The bill stays simple: the nightly rate plus one cleaning fee, plus occupancy taxes. No per-guest fees, so the per-person share usually drops as the list grows. Pick your dates and the calculator shows the real price at live rates, split per person, before you’ve told us your name. On timing: October and the spring book fastest, and summer is pool season at the friendliest rates of the year.

Good to know
Common questions
Where does a big girls trip stay in New Orleans?
Short-term rentals are banned in nearly all of the French Quarter, so a big group is really choosing between a hotel block downtown and a whole house a short ride out. CastleDay is a private villa in the Bywater with its own heated pool and hot tub, ten minutes from the Quarter; here’s the honest math on walking distance.
How many can stay?
One villa takes groups from about a dozen up to 30, everyone in a real bed across 12 bedrooms and 17 beds (free queen air mattresses will be waiting if you ask ahead; the inflating is on you). A bigger list takes a second villa or all three, up to 90.
What will it cost each of us?
The nightly rate plus one cleaning fee, plus occupancy taxes; no per-guest fees, so adding friends doesn’t add line items. Pick your dates and the calculator shows the live price split per person before you’ve told us your name.
Can hair and makeup come to the villa?
Yes, and they usually do. The vendors you book come straight to the gate: hair and makeup, bartenders, decorators. Mirrors in every room and natural light all day, so getting ready happens at home.
Is it a good setup for a milestone birthday or anniversary trip?
It’s built for one: a private pool for the day, a courtyard for the toast, one long table for the dinner in, and the night out ten minutes away. Our birthday page has the full picture.
When should we book?
October and the spring weekends book fastest; the classics (Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Halloween) go closer to a year ahead. Summer is pool season at the friendliest prices of the year. The rates page has our honest take on every weekend.
