The Quarter House

The Quarter House & Its Setting

The Quarter House is an independent timeshare resort positioned just half a mile from the French Quarter, New Orleans' oldest and most iconic neighbourhood. Owners choosing this resort are buying into a genuinely central New Orleans address — close enough to walk to Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral, and the Mississippi riverfront rather than relying on transport to reach the city's main draws. As an independent property, The Quarter House isn't part of a large hotel chain, but its RCI affiliation means owners aren't limited to this one location if they want to use their week elsewhere.

New Orleans: The Area and What to Do

New Orleans needs little introduction — it's a city built on music, food, and history, and a stay at The Quarter House puts all three on your doorstep. The French Quarter's colonial architecture, street musicians, and restaurant scene are a short stroll away, as is the Jazz Museum for anyone keen on the city's musical roots. St. Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square anchor the historic core, while the Mississippi River offers riverboat cruises and waterfront walks. For a break from the French Quarter's bustle, New Orleans City Park provides gardens, museums, and open space a short ride away. The city's calendar runs year-round, with Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest drawing especially large crowds and driving demand for accommodation well in advance.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners looking to sell or rent out their Quarter House week can list directly on BidMyTimeshare.com as a private, owner-to-owner transaction. You set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to advertise. This keeps more of the proceeds in your pocket compared with traditional resale channels.

Because The Quarter House is an independent resort, resale transfers are typically handled through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a national brand's resale desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort or its management: the current transfer fee, any right of first refusal the resort or association may hold on resale transactions, and the current annual maintenance fee. These details vary by resort and aren't standardised across the industry, so getting them in writing before closing protects both buyer and seller. A resale buyer typically takes on the deeded or contracted usage rights as transferred by the association, but should not assume any loyalty perks, upgrades, or incentives the original owner may have received — these are rarely passed on in a resale.

If you're an owner, it's also worth mentioning the RCI affiliation in your listing, since exchange flexibility is a genuine selling point for buyers who want more than one destination from a single purchase.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Renters and buyers researching The Quarter House should think about when they want to use the week. Shoulder season (spring and autumn) brings more comfortable weather and lighter crowds than the height of summer, while Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest weeks command premium demand and need to be booked far ahead. Getting around is straightforward: the French Quarter is walkable, and streetcars, ride-sharing, and local transit cover the rest of the city. As with any inner-city neighbourhood, it's sensible to keep valuables secure and travel in groups late at night in busier entertainment areas.

Why RCI Affiliation Matters

For owners who won't use New Orleans every year, the RCI affiliation is the practical advantage of buying at The Quarter House over a purely local, non-exchange property. It means a week here can be deposited or traded for a stay at another RCI resort, giving sellers a stronger pitch to buyers and giving buyers more flexibility than a single-destination purchase typically offers.
