Hector's Point-New Modern 1 bedroom suites in Iona

We just finished construction on these contemporary 1 bedroom, 1 bath suites, 2021 is our first season. Each unit has a full kitchen with a dining bar, and a large 200 sq. ft. deck, offering spectacular views of the Bras d'Or Lake. Large sliding glass doors and oversized windows make these cozy suites bright and airy. Many of the furnishings were custom built in our woodshop. We are only a short walk to the popular Frolic and Folk Pub & Restaurant for great dining and live entertainment. Across from the Pub, visit the Highland Village, a Gaelic living history museum and cultural center. Sun and swim on one of the many beaches within a few minutes of Hector's Point. Centrally located on Cape Breton Island, there are many attractions close enough for a day trips, including Baddeck, The Fort of Louisburg, Eskasoni & Whycocogamah cultural Centers, Bird Island Boat Tours, & Sydney.

Great Days at Hector‘s Point

The cottage was beautiful, super clean and equipped with everything you need! Janet is a professional hostess and always on hand with advice and assistance. We loved the days, but especially the terrace with the "pets" - the eagle, the fox, the collibris. Hector's Point is highly recommended.

The very best Cape Breton has to offer

Over the top doesn't begin to rate this property....everything we expected and soooo much more! Our hosts were VERY accommodating. We will DEFINITELY be coming back next year. A 5 out 0f 5 rating is a bit low in our books....I prefer to rate as I TRULY see things. This was a belated birthday present from me to m foe my 68th . It was on the 16th of October, so I thinks it's only fitting to rate them as a 16 out of 5!!!! Bill Bilney, Brenda Crossland and our fur kids....Max and Levi

This was our first stop of our Maritimes adventure. Everything was perfect about this little piece of heaven. It was exactly as advertised, very new, clean and organized. Waking up to that view surrounded by gorgeous fall colours …breathtaking. Janet went above and beyond anticipating our needs. Highly recommend!

Excellente demeure, propreté super, confort très bien. Environnement parfait, une vue superbe! Éloignée de tout par contre. Tout y est pour la cuisine, manque de rien. Il pourrait y avoir une petite table pour manger ( pas toujours facile de monter sur un banc. Dans l’ensemble nous avons beaucoup apprécié. Propriétaires très gentils.

Thank you Bill for your kind words. Rob and I enjoyed our chats with you and Elaine. It was satisfying for us to see you and your family (and sweet pups) taking full advantage of the cabin and grounds. We appreciate how clean and tidy you left the cabin. I hope we see you again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Janet Blackwell

Host profile image

Rob & I were looking for a final building project for our retirement. We bought this property in 2018 for the amazing views and for our affection of the quaint village of Iona. We were told that it used to be a look out for Hwy 223 but became overgrown. After clearing the land, we decided we wanted to share this beautiful spot and decided to build vacation suites. We just finished 2 units in December of 2020 and still have 2 more to complete (almost done). We live in the North-Central Gulf Coast during the winter, sail aboard our Shannon 38 when we can, and reside at Hector's Point from June to November.
