Mardi Gras Manor I

The Resort and Its Setting

Mardi Gras Manor I is an independently run timeshare resort with RCI affiliation, situated in New Orleans. It's built around the idea of giving vacation owners a consistent base in a city that draws visitors back year after year for its music, food and architecture. As an independent property rather than part of a large resort chain, Mardi Gras Manor I owners deal directly with the resort's own management or owners' association for most day-to-day matters, while RCI affiliation handles the exchange side of things.

New Orleans: The Area and Things to Do

New Orleans needs little introduction — it's one of the most culturally rich and recognisable cities in America. From Mardi Gras Manor I, owners and guests are within easy reach of the French Quarter (around 2 km), with its colonial-era buildings, Jackson Square and St. Louis Cathedral, and Bourbon Street (also about 2 km), the city's best-known entertainment strip. Music lovers will want to head to Frenchmen Street in the Marigny neighbourhood for live jazz and blues, while culture and history fans can spend a day at the National WWII Museum. City Park, one of the largest urban parks in the US, offers a quieter contrast with its oak-lined paths and the New Orleans Museum of Art on site.

Selling or Renting a Week at Mardi Gras Manor I

If you own a week at Mardi Gras Manor I and are considering selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission taken on a sale — sellers simply pay a small one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because Mardi Gras Manor I is an independent resort, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a large brand's resale office. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth asking the association directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these can change from year to year and aren't published figures we can quote here. A buyer should also confirm exactly what comes with the week — for example, whether RCI affiliation carries over automatically or needs to be re-registered by the new owner — before completing the purchase.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for straightforward things: confirmed week dates, clarity on what's included, and a seller who can answer questions about the resort and the booking process promptly.

Practical Notes for Owners and Visitors

New Orleans has a subtropical climate, so summers are warm and humid while winter evenings can call for a light jacket. Mardi Gras season (January–February) and Jazz Fest (April–May) are the busiest times to visit or book an exchange, so plan well ahead if you want to use your week during either. Parking in central New Orleans can be limited, and most visitors find it easier to get around on foot in walkable neighbourhoods like the French Quarter and Marigny, or to use taxis and ride-sharing services for longer trips.

A Note on RCI Exchange

Because Mardi Gras Manor I is RCI-affiliated, owners who aren't planning to use their week in New Orleans that year can look into exchanging it through RCI for a stay at one of its partner resorts elsewhere. This is a separate process from listing a week for sale or rent on BidMyTimeshare.com, and any exchange fees or rules are set by RCI directly, so it's worth checking RCI's own terms before relying on this as part of a sale pitch to a buyer.
