Ready for Hurricane Season?

Prep Tips for Storms – Or any day the lights go out in NOLA…

Hurricane preparation New Orleans — Hurricane Checklist New Orleans

Ready or not, our best laid plans are about to change. Summer is HERE, and it’s hot, everything is wilting, the kids are out of school, and we are hunkered down for the next few months, no matter what. Hurricanes? Or just the heat? Let’s just say that New Orleans gets ready for anything, because any random day can be interrupted with a power outage, boil water advisory, a random flood, or escaped convicts. We stay ready for whatever comes. Now you can, too.

Remote Work in New Orleans

Insider Tips for Professionals Who Work from “Home” in New Orleans

At least half of the furnished rentals I managed are leased to remote workers at any given time. One of my repeat visitors is a screen writer who comes to New Orleans specifically to be inspired and use the Milton H. Latter Memorial Library on St. Charles Ave. as her “office.” She swears she is more productive in that space than anywhere else – and that’s the beauty of work-from-home… it is what you decide it is!

AirBnB Alternatives in New Orleans

Posted on March 25, 2025 by Anne Beck

We loved Airbnb… until it became a source of gentrification in New Orleans, disturbing the delicate balance of tourism and local life in neighborhoods throughout the city.

Finish up the last crumbs of king cake… Let Lent begin…

We had a good run, y’all!

In spite of a radically changed parade schedule for Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras 2025 ended with gusty, but lovely weather. And now… Lent begins.

We loved our stay at the Cotton Mill during our months in New Orleans. The apartment was clean, bright and well supplied as well as being very central. It was a five minute walk to some of the biggest Mardi Gras parades and we could walk to the French Quarter very easily. Anne was a pleasure to work with and helped us find the right place at the right price. We'll definitely be back! I loved your blog, by the way, very New Orleans! ~Steve Dovey London, England

...What impressed me most was their responsiveness. Whether it was a tenant inquiry, or general question, they handled everything promptly and efficiently, giving me peace of mind knowing my property was in good hands. Overall, NOLASinc has made renting out my condo a hassle-free experience. I highly recommend them to any property owner looking for a reliable and professional management company, or a way to list-by-owner with realtor support.

Anne has done such a wonderful job of filling our house with excellent tenants over the years we've worked with her! We had a tenant come back to us for a number of stays, and another month-to-month family ended up staying with us for over a year! She has great connections in the film industry and with people traveling to the city for medical and educational reasons. It's been great working with Anne because she finds great tenants, takes care of them and us, and is always helpful and responsive! With her new list-by-owner site, I think landlords are going to have an amazing option for former Airbnb properties.

... (cont'd) I hired NOLASinc to handle the rental of my condo many years ago, and the experience has been outstanding. From the start, their team was professional, communicative and highly knowledgeable about the furnished rental market. They took care of everything - from marketing the property with high-quality photos and listings, to screening tenants and handling lease agreements. The tenant selection process was thorough, ensuring I had a responsible and reliable renter. They also managed rent collection seamlessly, providing timely updates and payments."

Loved our stay at the Cotton Mill! Easy access to everything, quiet property, friendly residents and staff. Hubby had great results with his HBOT treatments and is feeling awesome!

We had the honor of being the first guest in this home. It was a great place to enjoy some rest after long days in the French Quarter. Anne was a gracious host... We love New Orleans! ~ The Morgan Family, Sacramento, CA

NESTinNOLA is a joy to work with! I have stayed at three of their properties in the last two years. I am a traveling healthcare professional, and all the properties I have rented have been above and beyond my expectations. They are beautifully and tastefully decorated, and stocked with everything you could need or want to feel at home away from home. Anne is so easy to work with, while remaining professional. I will look to her for all my property neeedes in the New Orleans area!

Anne, the condo at the Bakery that you found for us was an ideal location for us to explore and enjoy beautiful and friendly NOLA! We will be sorry to leave and definitely plan to return. Margaret, Dominic & Lucy (the bulldog) Wisconsin Snowbirds, winter of 2010

My property has been Airbnb for years, but I've never been comfortable with all the turnover, especially in my Irish Channel neighborhood. I was looking for a way to rent my furnished apartment for a month or a few months, but it seemed there were few services for that. Working with Anne to promote my property has been not only effective, but a real pleasure. She's one of those rare people that no only knows her stuff, but does her job well and with a great attitude.

Thanks, Anne, for sharing your home with us! It made the internship period much less work-like. The location was great, very convenient to the Convention Center. Very safe neighborhood, too, just as you said. I even left my car unlocked by accident one night and all was well. We had a great time! Jennifer & Aisha ~Fundraisers from Alabama

Anne's expertise and deep knowledge of renting units at the Cotton Mill as corporate leases have been invaluable. Her strong relationships and extensive tenure in the building have significantly enhanced our leasing opportunities. We highly recommend Anne for her professionalism, market insight, and commitment to delivering excellent results.

Anne, I truly enjoyed staying at 1205 St. Charles. The accomodations were perfection - the location could not have been better! I have stayed in New Orleans many times, and this was by far my favorite place. Thank you for your kindness, Ashley Bonner

What a lovely spot! The photos on the internet of Cotton Mills #342 do not do this condo justice. Such character, both at the complex and in New Orleans. I feel like this was our home away from home. The pool was fantastic. My son loved the loft area and called it his clubhouse. Lots of little extras and supplies were a nice touch, and I made several gourmet meals and even BBQed. Very friendly staff here who were quick to offer help, directions, and even lend pool toys. This trip made us wish we lived here, and it will definitely not be our last winter in NOLA! Thanks for sharing your beautiful condo. It made our annual stay perfect! Kelly Ann, Andrew, Rhys & Gwyn St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada

Anne Beck is very professional. She always answers me promptly, and she is very good with the condo office. I'm glad we found each other.

Our unit was first a beloved vacation retreat, and we quickly fell in love with the Cotton Mill and New Orleans - so much so that we decided to retire to this beautiful city permanently! So our condo is available now for rent! NESTinNOLA has done a great job of keeping our place rented and giving us the tools for taking care of all the needs of our tenants.

Attentive, knowledgeable and a delight to work with... Anne manages to help the visitor feel like a local. I've been a 'Snowbird' in New Orleans for over ten years now, and have a standing reservation for six months when I ride Endymion every year. I never know where she's going to put me - but it's always been a perfect home-away-from-home.

NESTinNOLA helped me find the cutest apartment in 2019/2020. In 2025 I had the opportunity to return to New Orleans. I reached out to the owner, and she did not disappoint! She was glad to help, and found the best condo with parking! I will call her every time I am in New Orleans!
