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.

    This place was amazing! The sunrise views were fantastic! The location is great, 20 mins to Slidell and 30 to the French Quarter. Quiet little community and right on the water.

    The property was fantastic with beautiful morning views on the spacious back porch! The interior was beautifully decorated with plenty of space for the family. 10/10!

    Property was just as advertised. Short distance from all the attractions but with a feeling of being very remote. The ability to fish, walk the dog and go to the French Quarter all in day. I couldn't have asked for a better vacation. I would recommend that everyone do this at least once ,but there's no way you can do everything in one vacation.

    This was such an amazing property. The host was very helpful in our stay. We caught a ton of fish. Great spot for fishing and relaxing. Caught a good variety if fish. I would highly recommend this for a couples getaway or family trip. The property is very accommodating for children and pets. Beautiful house, very clean, and comfy. Will definitely be back very soon!!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The property fit most of our needs. We had several families gather to visit. The only thing that would have been nicer would be a bathroom downstairs. Otherwise the property was great.
