About this house rental
This is our home so we love it up much of the year. An old biscuit box - hence the name Urban Cottage - with an add-on to the back of the house that overlooks the harbour and southside hills. While the front street takes you directly downtown, to the back of the house is a two-tiered deck that is quiet and scenic. This is a good spot for a few nights' stay before heading out on island adventures, or for visitors looking to explore local trails during the day while seeking local foods and a good nights sleep in a comfortable king size bed. There are two other rooms but these are off limits to guests during their stay.

Sheridan is a wonderful host, friendly and communicates well. Listing is accurate so no surprises upon arrival. Excellent location. We walked each day to the Water Street area. Highly recommend this charming house in St. John’s!

The house is a older style house with lots of character which I loved. I kinda wanted a outside pic of the place to see the area i was in but it wasent revealed until booked. Host was very friendly and overall a great stay.

My husband and I had a lovely stay at Sheridan and her family's home. It was cozy, had all the amenities we needed, and within walking distance of just about everything (we decided to drive to see Signal Hill and Quidi Vidi as we didn't want to spend a few hours walking there and back). Our daily walk up the block was a great work out ;).
Thank you again for sharing your home with us, Sheridan!

We had a great stay at Sheridan's place. Check-in was super easy via a lock box. Unfortunately, we did not get to meet Sheridan because our flight had been cancelled and our check in time had changed. Communication was great and everything was exactly as described! We were surprised how quiet it was at night. I guess, we were just close enough to downtown to be able to walk to many restaurants yet far enough that we didn't hear too much nightly activity :-)

The property is very much in keeping with the typical older St. John's neighborhoods. Hilly streets and sometime challenging walking. Close to restaurants and the water.
Delightful host. Very helpful with any information we needed. We only had a three-night stay, but the host helped us enjoy every minute of the time in St. John's.

The host (Sheridan) was wonderful. She was responsive to any questions or concerns we had, was honest, down to earth and easy to contact. Both she and her family made it their priority to ensure our stay was comfortable. Despite the fact that we encountered some individuals under the influence in the evenings as we were out walking in the neighbourhood, it was a great location for walking access to downtown. It was super close to The Rooms, St John's Basilica, Tim Hortons and groceries. The day we left, we were able to catch a sunrise over the harbour from a high spot in the back yard. And St. John's was definitely an amazing place to visit! Thanks Sheridan for allowing us to stay in your home.

The original part of the house is over 100 years old. The home shows its age with love, its layout, and a few creaks! We relaxed and enjoyed the space. It is conveniently located, and is within easy walking distance to downtown and has a distance view of Cabot Tower on Signal Hill. The house is not suitable for people with physically disabilities, as the only bathroom is up a flight of narrow stairs. Sheridan and family are wonderful hosts.

Sheridan's house was perfect for our 4 day stay in St. John's. The bedroom is big and the king size bed is very comfortable. A recently added window AC made the heat wave bearable. The kitchen is fully equipped and the place is cozy and charming and very clean. There is a beautiful back deck area with a view of the harbour and a visiting cat. It is a real home, very tastefully decorated and welcoming. A comprehensive and informative guest book is provided as well as an assortment of guidebooks. The location is perfect - right across the street from The Rooms and easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants on Water Street and the harbour.
