About this property

Gorgeous Waterfront property 35 minutes to the French Quarter

Come and relax in a serene setting with breathtaking views at The Blue Heron. This vacation home is located on Brazellier Island with views of the beautiful Lakes Catherine and Pontchartrain.

There are nearby trails and boardwalks at Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge where you can see various birds, particularly the Blue Heron, and other bayou critters.

Spectacular fishing, crabbing and other adventures are just boat minutes away. The neighboring marina makes this your perfect fishing destination which is equipped with a boat launch, ice, live bait (seasonal) or fishing charters should you prefer to leave the boat home.

Swamp tours are just 20 minutes to your east vs. the French Quarter, just 30 minutes west of the island, making it the perfect getaway for festivals, Mardi Gras or just a relaxing retreat.

Kayaks are also available for your enjoyment.

The 3 bedroom; 2 bath home is furnished with Louisiana homemade Cypress and Live Oak. The master has a king bed, the second room has a double bed, and the third bedroom has a double bed and futon. The kitchen is fully stocked with all essentials for cooking. Enjoy fresh seafood on the balcony or cook a delicious meal in the kitchen while taking in breathtaking views of Lake Catherine’s sunrise in the morning and Lake Pontchartrain’s sunset in the evening.

Don’t be surprised to spot a rabbit in the front lawn or an alligator in the back canals.

The Blue Heron awaits your friend and family island-camp fish’n retreat.

Beautiful spot

The porch offers a peaceful view of the water and sunrises and sunsets. Wind kept biting bugs away. It takes more like 40 minutes to drive to the French Quarter but worth it to have best of both worlds—a taste of New Orleans and the peace and quiet of the lake. A few minor suggestions for enhancements: add some hooks or towels racks to both bathrooms. Provide cushions for the plastic porch furniture.

Beautiful waterfront house

We had a fabulous stay at the Blue Heron house. Plenty of room for 6 adults. Owners were very responsive to any questions we had. Caught fish right out front! It was nice to be in a quiet area with New Orleans about 30 minutes away. Being between Lake St Catherine and Lake Pontchartrain awarded us with beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

Our First Annual Thanksgiving

My Husband, Mom, Sisters, Brother, Nieces and Nephews were all available to finally celebrate thanksgiving after a couple years of just being busy This house was great. We did have a small ant problem, but has a New Orleans Native i know that in this setting ants and mosquitoes come with the territory. The kids fished, and had a nice front yard space to play in. If you plan on coming to this home with small ones you must be super vigilant because you are definitely at the waters edge. We saw rabbits, a couple of 12 foot alligators, and heard toads that sound like goats. Overall this was a fishermans paradise (my husband and i promised to teach the kids how to fish) and i enjoyed sharing this hidden gem of New Orleans with my family.

This place is amazing

We had a bachelor party out here in new orleans and this was perfect. It just far enough away from the city to have a great recovery spot and some peace away from all of the craziesness of the city but close enough we can drive whenever we or get an uber for $50. The property manager was very responsive to everything from the fishing recomendations (fishing is awesome and we also crabbed. Caught enough for a crab boil). The only reccomendation is that if you come durning this time of the year bring some stuff to fight of nats and bugs there were alot at some points but a quick walmart trip helped us manage that. Other than that 10/10 hughly recommend.

The best of both.

Awesome property the water. Pontchartrain in the front and saint Catherine in the back. We would kayak fish for half our day and spent the other half in French quarter and garden district. If you kayak towards the bridge you can see ft pike. It was a great stay. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The whole family loved it. We will definitely be back for a longer stay next time.

Great house for a family vacation

This house was wonderful! The location was perfect for a family vacation. We used the kayaks pretty much every day and really enjoyed them for fishing and just paddling up the canal. The back porch was a wonderful spot for morning coffee and to watch the birds on the water. Make sure to pack plenty of bug spray! I couldn’t be happier with the host and their communication. Really everything was just wonderful.

Family Spring Break Trip

The view from the porch was amazing. It was great to wake up and watch the sunrise and enjoy the sights and sounds of the lake. The house had a great layout for spending quality time with my family and even some alone time for myself. The host continued in communication with us throughout our vacation. It was definitely a great stay.

Getaway after Christmas!!

Our family stayed here for a few days after Christmas and it was wonderful! We would have coffee on the porch every morning and look out at the beautiful view, visit New Orleans during the day and relax back at the property in the evening. The host was helpful and responsive! I would recommend this property!!
