About this property

Unwind by the Water - 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. We do allow pets during your stay, but there is a pet fee and policy rules.

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.
