Great place to stay for a fishing trip.

The house has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Great location for access to the bay. Nice to just sit and relax on the swing in the evening. The affordable rate for this property makes it a first choice for future stays.

Incredible location, responsive host

The property is in an incredible location, right on the peaceful canal. The water was clean and smooth, fishing off the dock was easy at night with the water lights. The beach is a short walk/bike ride away. There are restaurants nearby to get a great dinner morning coffee. As perfect as the home and location were, the host was just as great. Paras was super responsive and exceptionally helpful. I would recommend this spot for families, friends or spouses on a getaway. Loved it all!

About the host

Hosted by Paras Rana

Host profile image
After being a Superhost for my own properties, I launched Water Way Vacation Rentals to manage vacation homes for others. I enjoy talking to our guests as they prep for their trips and checking in to make sure they are having a great time. I'm a husband and father of two who loves to spend time with family, cook, drink wine, and occasionally dream I'm out in the open water fishing. I look forward to hosting you and your family & friends!

What makes this property unique

The Blue Heron has been recently fully renovated throughout. The beautiful kitchen has everything you need and is open to the living and dining areas. The master bedroom is large and has both a king bed and a day bed. The en suite bathroom has a beautiful large shower. The second bedroom has a comfortable queen bed. The sleeping area with a bunk bed is between the master and living room and has doors to close off on both ends. The bunk bed is full-size on the bottom and twin on top. There is another full and half bath for guests to use. Outside we have two levels of decks to enjoy sweeping views of the canal and Galveston State Park. The brand-new dock is a great place to fish, launch kayaks or go for a swim in the canal.
