The Space
From private, luxury ensuite bathrooms (no one has to share) to impressive views, each room at the Blue Heron retreat is loaded with features to help make your stay on Prince Edward Island your favorite vacation ever. More than big enough to host multiple families or couples, the Blue Heron Retreat goes the extra mile at every turn. If a private getaway for just 2, or one family is all you seek, you can be rest assured that the house is also perfect! You will always have the entire house to yourself.
Boasting 5 + 1 bedrooms and 6 Bathrooms, The Blue Heron Retreat is a stately home whose origin extends over 140 years. It has recently undergone complete reconstruction and renovation to include modern amenities and appointments throughout. The building was renovated and remodeled to operate as a five star B&B from 2007 to 2013. It has become a fully modern and luxurious retreat from the stress and daily concerns of a busy world to the easy pace of life and the sanctuary of The Gentle Island - Prince Edward Island.

Maybe your favorite experience will be relaxing in the outdoor hot tub overlooking the Ocean and Confederation Bridge. Or it could be exploring the tidal pools on the red sand beach. Perhaps you will fall in love with watching the sunset over the ocean. Your favorite part may be coming home to the super comfortable beds and cozy bathrobes at the end of a long day exploring Prince Edward Island. Everyone who visits the Blue Heron Retreat discovers their own favorite experience during their stay.
- If you like to cook, you'll love the 3 ovens (including one steam oven), HUGE side-by-side fridge and freezer, outdoor bbq always with an extra tank of propane, wine rack to store your libations, large double sink, dishwasher, and a large walk-in pantry with every kind of cooking pot, pan, utility, bowl, etc that you could possibly need.
- If you like adventure, you’ll love exploring the shoreline in one of the two included ocean kayaks,
- If you like to relax, you'll love the double person Jacuzzi and beautiful hand-tiled shower in the Master Suite,
- If you're looking to reconnect with your partner, you'll enjoy the expansive Honeymoon Suite on the third floor with skylights, and beautiful ocean views
- If you are looking to make new memories to last a lifetime, you’ll love the Blue Heron Retreat.

We would love to work with you to help plan your stay and suggest hidden gems, culinary delights, and fun day trips to make the most of your PEI experience! Ask away anytime :)

Superb property and location
My family of 12 including adults and grandchildren had a marvellous vacation. The location is perfect near to the beach with the shallow water. Great for toddlers. The property was the best ever that our family has rented. Sheldon was always available to help with questions. The house was immaculate upon arrival. It was stocked with everything we could possibly need for our stay. We plan to return. Many thanks for a perfect family vacation.

Summer multi-family vacation
This is our second trip to PEI, but our first at this property. We had 4 kids under 13 and 6 adults. The bedrooms with separate baths gave all of us so much space. The large kitchen with large fridge and freezer allowed plenty of space for food. The basement area was perfect to allow the kids there own zone to hang out in. The back deck was a common hang out throughout the day and we spent time in the hot tub after the kids were asleep to unwind before bed. The house and view are amazing enough to want to return, but the beach just puts this place over the top. Even at high tide there is plenty of beach to enjoy. Low tide brought hours of exploration, paddleboarding, skim boarding, kayaking, sand castles! The kids made there own dirt shirts on the beach, and found hermit crabs and sand dollars too! The house is in close proximity to everything we needed. 8 of us went deep sea fishing towards Cavendish while 2 went shopping in Charlottetown. We explored summerside and Victoria, enjoyed a nice toy shop with a wood toy maker shop out back, and would recommend everyone go to provisions for homemade jam, breakfast, a garden walk to see the farm animals and butterfly house. Clearly we all had a wonderful vacation! The owner of the house is always available although rarely needed! This is my new preferred spot on the island!

Outstanding
An exquisite property in a wonderful location, every amenity catered for, the house was spotless and ready for us on arrival. All instructions provided to operate the systems. Could not have been happier! The tides cooperated and provided hours of walking and clam digging. Just could not have been more pleased.

Perfect girls weekend
So enjoyed our stay at Blue Heron retreat. Beginning with the check in with Kathy who could not have been more welcoming or helpful. Communication with our host was easy and very responsive. This vacation home is spotless, with every amenity you could ask for. It was the perfect location to explore the eastern part of the province.

Beautiful..... Roomy.... and a Perfect Holiday House
This property was perfect for our holiday getaway with our siblings and their spouses. It was beautiful, very roomy and an excellent house for us since each bedroom has its own bathroom. Each couple had their own privacy and the large living areas inside and out were great for dinners together, relaxation, conversation and games. Catherine was there to meet and greet us with a tour of the house and answered any questions we had. Leon was available to answer and act on questions we had as well. We had a wonderful week !!

Incredible
This is an excellent rental. It is a beautiful house that is perfectly maintained. The view and location are perfect. It was the perfect size to house 3 families. Everyone had space and privacy which made things so relaxing. Leon was there to greet us upon arrival and explained how everything worked which made our stay problem-free. Later in the week he dropped by with an ice cream cake which was huge hit, especially with the 5 kids in our group. Thanks so much for the incredible vacation!

Whole group loved it!
Everyone in our group commented on how great the accommodations at Blue Heron Retreat were. Having private bathrooms for each room was very helpful. People were also big fans of the hot tub with a view of the ocean at sunset. The kitchen is well set up for a large group to work in at once. Our hosts were very helpful and easy to communicate with.

Fantastic Place to Stay!
The large kitchen, dining and living areas and a bathroom for each bedroom made it very easy for all of us to fully enjoy and entertain our family and friends. Of course the ocean views and beach are an added bonus to being at this location in tranquil Cape Traverse.

A great beachfront paradise retreat
We had a great time. The hosts were great, and sent us some great tips to enjoy the local area. Hot-tubbing watching the sunset was the best. Take a road trip to Victoria by the sea. Great spot. 100% worth it.
