Thanksgiving Getaway

We wanted to leave the city and meet family for the holiday! We packed holiday dinner and sides including the Turducken as an alternative to basic Thanksgiving turkey. The house was cute, clean and had a nice view of the canal. We filled the fridge, stocked the shelves and headed to town for our preholiday seafood dinner at Lattiudes (so good) The cove is quiet and perfect away from it all. The ducks and birds love the area. A true getaway to relax and enjoy!

Getaway

Some issues that require attention from the owner such as change the microwaves. The septic tank must be constantly checked so that what happened to us does not happen again. The a/c duct must be prolongued to the yard.

The location was not the best, no fault of the property owners but not close to town. If you plan to fish, this was very nice. The dock was nice and wide with plenty of space to cast. We didn't catch anything but the green light was working. I felt close to the neighbors and was worried we were in their space however. What stands out the most is that it didn't seem like it had a good cleaning. There were crumbs on the floor in spots and trash left at the back of the trashcan. Lots of crumbs at the bottom of that. There were not ANY extra sheets even though there was a container labeled for the pullout couch. There was an over abundance of pillows but we needed sheets and blankets. There were also very limited number of towels. I guess they assume people will out because there were hardly any dishes either. The master bath was VERY small which makes no sense as a master. Be aware of OWELS also! Not my first choice for a place to stay, mainly for the trash/crumbs left but also because I didn't feel as welcome as I have in other VRBO's. I felt like someone was renting the place out for extra money and put in the bare minimum.

We loved all the features of The Blue Heron.

We loved all the features of The Blue Heron. The home was beautifully decorated, the amenities on point, the location was quiet and on a small cove of water, the fishing/crabbing was outstanding, the barbecue and dock were perfect, and the reeled hose was great for washing the deck off each night. We will definitely be back to The Blue Heron. Thank you for an excellent weekend getaway! Excellent customer service and follow-up emails. We have been booking through Miss Kitty's Fishing Getaways for several years for Copano Bay rentals. We have always had a positive experience and will continue to recommend Miss Kitty to friends and family.

House was in good location, happy to get 2 BR/2 bath (they have an extra BR/Bath just added into a really nice outbuilding/garage) close to the water. Very clean and well maintained home. Our power went out for about 4-5 hours due to a storm, but the house was well insulated and the temperature never rose even though it was warm and humid. Team was excellent - friendly, helpful, and responsive.

Beautiful getaway with a waterfront view!

House was beautiful inside and out. Loved watching the sunrise; fishing right outside our backdoor and there was ample room for the dogs to run around. Only wish the steps to the water were fixed so we could get down to the water's edge.

Nice house but…

The house was very nice but the water in the back was very low which was not idea for “good fishing”. We had no heat in the house. The company sent two companies out to “fix it” but it wasn’t fixed! We stayed in the house with 40 degree weather, pouring rain and two small space heaters. My vacation was spent in the house waiting on ac companies when I am clearly not the owner of the property!

Great stay

Property is in very good condition and has plenty of room. The open concept allows for everyone to be in the same area enjoying each other. The deck is awesome and so convenient. Get bored, go throw a line in the water and catch a fish almost every time! We will rent this home again.

Blue heron vacation stay

Property was comparable as pictures shown. Clean and had plenty of parking. Unfortunately one of the rooms ceiling fan nor power in room did not work the first until a notified manager. The was absolutely no extra of any amenities had to buy it all. No extra blanks sheets etc... floors are tile through the home which is nice but , in the bathroom they are as well with no shower mats on floor . So it was very slick and not safe. And also the third room we rented the toilet leaked around the bottom seal so water accumulated over time. The location is great and the fishing and craving was amazing . Thanks

Great House

House was clean and very accommodating. Check in was easy and check out list was reasonable. Property is pet friendly and there's plenty of room for them to run around. However, yard is not enclosed and although pets may stay within the property, there's nothing to keep any strays to come on to the yard. A few were seen on one of the days we were there but otherwise it was not a problem.

The property was clean and right on the water where fishing was made easy to just go in and out. The outdoor light and seating was great and convenient for fishing. It was a great place to stay and would highly recommend it. Your team was excellent. They were friendly and caring. Having some physical limitations the team made great suggestions and truly wanted to be helpful. We still had brought our own towels and sheets so we didn’t use but a couple of towels but they were there and everything was clean and neat.
