Great place to stay while visiting St. John’s

Although located on the south side of the harbour, the views of Signal Hill and the boat traffic make it worth the short drive to get to downtown St. John’s. The house has been beautifully renovated and is very well equipped and comfortable.

Great stay with a difference

Very clean well appointed propert. The owners have thought about what guests need and provided it. Unique view of St John's harbour makes it a special place to stay. Best if you have a car or bike, as a bit far if you want to walk into town. Would love to stay again.

Amazing location!

Vic’s property is exceptional! There is a recreational boat harbour in front of his place in which you can walk along the pier. We were able to watch some fishermen prepare the cod and watch big ships and small fishing boats off the porch! The inside of the house is amazing as well!

A beautiful spot for sure. We spent 5 days in the house. The kitchen is pretty well equipped for making our breakfast (and dinners if we had the need). The house was very clean. The balcony out front was a great place to sit and unwind. Thank you

Right on the harbour - stunning views.

Beautiful spot to stay. Quiet. Stunning views of the harbour, the Battery and Signal Hill. Morning coffee on the deck watching the boats come and go. Close to everything. Evening walk to the lighthouse then back to the deck to watch the folks at the splitting tables with their daily catch. 😊

Scenic home away from home

This was such a charming spot in such a unique location. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and when we ran into some issues, the owners were extremely friendly and quick to rectify the problem. The basement floor is a little damp, but it's to be expected since the house is literally located on the harbour front across from signal hill. The view of cabot tower and the harbour made up for this small discomfort. Would stay here again.

Very charming house. Great location on the harbour-close one of the East Coast trail heads. Views of Signal Hill and all the ships going and coming through the narrows - including the cruise ships. Well appointed kitchen- there were four of us- lots of room in main living are. It was clean and comfortable. Host owner was in communication at the start and throughout. Only about 5-10 minute drive to George /Water Streets. We had a great time exploring St. John’s- lots of good memories. Thanks

Parking is a bit tricky but we had room for motorcycles and 3 small trailers after some juggling . The house and location are actually fantastic once we realized where we were , unique location for sure. It’s a bit of a walk to downtown ( about an hour ) once you discover the walking path under the bridge. Bbq and full house of utensils were awesome. Need a bbq brush though. Watching the fishermen bringing in the catches was a great bonus. The place is right on the wharf.

Amazing

This gem is a must if traveling to St. Johns. The hosts were very responsive and kind. The house was perfect for our 6 adults with 3 rooms and 3 bathrooms. It was only a 10 minute cab ride downtown and not expensive. The view of Signal Hill, the colorful homes across the water and the bustle of the harbour made this home perfect when just relaxing on the deck. 5 star experience!
