Great vacation rental

This is a great vacation rental. The house was neat and clean. More than enough space for five adults to share without feeling crowded or being in each other's way. The host was great at answering all the questions we had during our stay.

Our recent 2nd stay was great.

This is a large property and comfortable rental home. There was lots of room and games to entertain our family who live in the area. The home is well stocked with starter supplies and good amenities. We appreciated the quick responses and attention from the owner.

The home is very spacious and clean. The area is very quiet. As advertised the home is not right on the water, but it is on top of a hill backed by a forested area so very private. Across the street there is a nice walkway that runs by the ocean, great for an after dinner walk. Highly recommend

Great stay by the bay

We stayed for just over a week and were looking for a place to rest after visiting family and exploring central Newfoundland. A beautiful view, clean, lots of space and had all the essentials we needed. We walked a few shorts steps from the house to pick endless blueberries, which was a nice plus. The hosts were prompt with any messages. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

My sisters and I spent a wonderful few days at your home.The beds were super comfortable, house was spotless. The host was quick to respond to our questions as we had a bit of a problem finding the house. Perhaps put a house number in the directions as that would help.We picked blueberries just behind the house, a real bonus!Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Lovely, Beautiful Home

A wonderful quiet, private house. The house was very clean, welcoming, and large. There was tons of space, lots of places to store anything you may have brought, and lots of amenities (many towels, a variety of soaps and shampoos, board games and books). We will be back!
