Many appreciate the central, walkable setting with easy access to restaurants, shops, tours, and hiking, plus hilltop sunset viewpoints. A recurring concern in a few reviews is carpenter bugs, particularly in the basement. Overall, expect a comfortable, convenient base with memorable views.

Communication with the host was great from time of booking and throughout our stay. House is in a great central location. Beds are comfortable. Living room is cozy with a nice view. Sitting outside in the chairs on a hot day with the view is also really nice. This house has everything you will need for your stay!

The house sits up a hill and offers a stunning view of the harbour. As well, you can go up the hill behind the house for gorgeous sunset views! We were only there one night for this trip but could have stayed there much longer. The house is clean, roomy and well-appointed. We loved that we could walk to several great restaurants and shops that were part of a welcome package we received as part of our booking. It was very helpful and informative on things to do in the area. We booked our iceberg tour through their recommendation and loved it...

Great views of Twillingate. Easy access to restaurants and iceberg tours. The house was very clean and had local art work. Near a nice hiking trail to the cross monument to town members lost at sea. Lovely flowers around the yard in summer.

A wonderful stay for a wedding weekend with friends! House is fully equipped with anything you may need for a stay. The house is beautiful, as well as the view. Would recommend this stay for anyone. The only downside is that the basement is infested with carpenter bugs, so none of us felt comfortable using the shower. Besides this the house is incredibly clean!

Fantastic house for the five of us adults. Well appointed kitchen, great views out the front window, comfortable beds, even a nice hike up the hill with even broader view of town and coastline. Very enjoyable town to stay in, with great hikes and evening entertainment.

Two minor issues - as hsrd as we tried, we could not get the TV to work. And the second bathroom was in the basement which was basically inaccessible to anyone taller than 5 feet. Apart from that, its a nice property in a great location.

We really enjoyed staying in this home while visiting Twillingate. It offered a wonderful view of the town and harbour. it was very well kept and comfortable. Since my wife and I were travelling with two friends they each had their own bedroom and there were two bathrooms, which made morning preparation before our boat excursion possible.
