Summary of reviews
Beautiful views, well-equipped property near trails, restaurants, and downtown. Comfortable, clean, and spacious accommodations. Highly recommended!
3.0 / 5.0
Beautiful view of harbour but not exact to pictures - a lot of overgrowth of trees prevented the view advertised - access was a lot of stairs down to
property which was never warned and no real parking - local owners did not like us parking in the public areas - inside the house was nice.
5.0 / 5.0
Such a wonderful place to stay! Close to everything and an amazing view from the large deck. There were four of us, and with the two bedrooms and three baths we were so pleased with the property. Highly recommended and would definitely book again. Perfect for two couples.
5.0 / 5.0
A dreamy location on the Battery with gorgeous views and right by the wilderness of Signal Hill and yet a short walk to restaurants and pubs.
The house is beautiful with lots of wood and a wall of windows overlooking the Narrows and crashing waves!
The kitchen and bathrooms are well appointed and although this was our third visit of week long stays, we’d come back in a heartbeat!

Property is a great location an 30 minute walk to good restaurants and bars both on George street and Quidi Vidi. Also right at start to trail to Signal hill an energetic and scenic walk. Climbers should be comfortable with heights

All good!
Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Location in the Battery district is postcard perfect. Super deck for watching the harbour.
Lots of hills and stairs for a walking tourist in St John's, but what a lovely, quiet city. Lots to do in early Sept, and the weather was perfect.
5.0 / 5.0
The property has everything you and your guests will need. Spectacular view, fully stocked kitchen, comfortable living room, clean linens, and multiple bathrooms. Each bedroom as an en suite, and there is an additional full bathroom on the main level. The location is on the Signal Hill trail, and only a 10 minute walk from downtown. Host is easily accessible. Highly recommend, and would book this location again if I travel to the area in the future.

If we ever return to St John’s we will plan our trip around the ability to stay once again at this VRBO. We found this property to be very comfortable and to have everything we needed. The view of the harbour and the proximity to the walking path to Signal Hill added to our enjoyment.
5.0 / 5.0
Loved this property, wish we could have stayed longer! Well equipped with everything you could possibly need, spotless, awesome views. Host gave excellent directions, had no trouble finding it. Wouldn't be suitable for those with mobility issues (that could be said for the Battery in general). Definitely recommend!

We had a great stay at this gem of a cottage. The views of St.John's harbour were spectactular. Great location for exploring Signal Hill and downtown St. John's. The unit and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was very well-appointed.

Fabulous place to stay
Located deep within the Battery area of St. John’s, this lovely well-appointed modern home was the ideal location from which to experience great hiking as well as the shops and restaurants of downtown St. John’s. The home had everything I needed and more- with plenty of extras. And the view was spectacular!

Amazing Harbor Views
Loved harbor & ocean views. Great time watching ship & boat traffic. Kitchen & dining area well-stocked & set up so we could enjoy views non-stop. House immaculate & thoughtfully provided everything we needed. Owner very responsive to the few questions we did have. Loved our stay.

Amazing view and beautiful house!
Our house had everything we needed, and then some! We arrived just in time to watch a seagull nesting and then the little ones being born and taking their first steps. It was fun to experience that during the time we actually spent in the house. Sharing my hometown with someone “from away” made me remember the beautify that is NEWFOUNDLAND. It is a bit of a hike from the road to the house….so pack lightly-lugging a big suitcase along the trail was a challenger….but so worth it!

Great stay in the Battery Road area
Beautiful home and beautiful view. Everything we needed was provided. Location was great - walking distance to downtown, Signal Hill and Quidi Vidi.

Perfect
This is a great property. The house is spotless and very well stocked. The owner was very easy to deal with and responded quickly to any questions. The location is perfect. Step outside your door and you are on the trail to Signal hill. Easy 5 minute walk to downtown. Nice views from the deck. Would highly recommend

Modern, beautiful house with a great view.
We had a great time visiting this house for a week in August, along with our 2 young boys and my mother. The house is modern, clean and beautiful, and fully stocked with much of what you will need to be comfortable. We hope to visit again in 2 years.

Like a Fairy Tale!
We have rented many places through VRBO over the years and this harbour home has jumped to the top of our list as the place to stay for a memorable vacation. Although we rented in March 2017 to attend the Tim Horton's Brier, the unit was warm and welcoming with all the bells and whistles of a high end home. The home layout is spectacular with the bedrooms located on the bottom of the two-story unit and the living area above. The home front is constructed with windows end to end with spectacular views of the harbour. Watching the ships come and go within the harbour is a sight you will never forget and you might think that the water traffic would create noise, but the home is so well insulated that with the exception of a faint echo of the fog horn, there is complete privacy. The unit is beyond well equipped with loads of dishes, cookware, linens and cleaning supplies including recycling bags and dishwasher soap and laundry detergent. The home is very clean and decorated in an eye-pleasing combination of neutral wall colour and expressive art. The book shelves are loaded with current bestsellers as well as binoculars, puzzles and games. The owners have a binder available with all the details and directions and if there was any information missing, Mike would respond within minutes to the questions that we sent him via text. During our stay, the area was hit by a category 2 hurricane with sustained winds in excess of 150 km, and the home remained stable and we did not feel vulnerable in the least. The only downside is that this unit is unsuitable for people with severe mobility issues as the staircase from the parking area to the home is slippery during winter weather and caution must be observed especially at night. If you are a cat lover, there are also neighourhood kitties that look for attention on your way up and down the stairs and make a good excuse to stop and catch your breath! The home is very spacious and with the bedrooms on a different level, you can take the time to relax away from those travelling with you should you wish. There is also a very spacious and beautiful deck that we did enjoy the day prior to the wind storm. We hated to leave this special place and we will always covet the memories made at "The Watchman's House". Do not hesitate to rent this unit as you will not be disappointed!

We (two couples) enjoyed a beautiful view of the Narrows, the City and the Ocean. We loved the easy access to trails, the downtown district, numerous historic sites and tourist attractions, as well as the relatively short distance to Bay Bulls for an amazing ecological boat tour. Most are within walking distance. Nearby restaurants are abundant. Not one disappointed. The accommodations are new, clean, and have all the modern amenities you could want or need. This is an exceptional property and well looked after.Our trip to Newfoundland and to this cottage was one of the most pleasurable and memorable we have had. We highly recommend it. Would love to come back with our kids.The owner gave detailed instructions (and pictures!) to help with our arrival and answered any questions we had.

Our week's stay was fabulous! Even more beautiful than the pictures which is hard to believe! Super clean with all the comforts of home with a fabulous view. The deck was an awesome place to relax and habor watch after a day of touring the sites. All new with a great kitchen and the BBQ was a bonus. Comfortable beds and washrooms all super clean. We got our laundry all caught before leaving!A park and walk - no drive up ability to unload so not for anyone with a difficulty maneuvering. However, this is also part of the charm as the house and view are well worth the walk ( which is not that far). Located on the base of Signal Hill, the paths to hike the hill are at the doorstep. Downtown is a close -less than 2km to centre city. Walkable and a quick drive. Owners were great - accessible for any questions we had while on site. Would highly recommend this spot.

Terrific views, cozy home
We and our children loved watching the boats going in and out of St. John's from this amazing home. We even spotted a rare couple of whales one afternoon! This is ideally located near the hike to the top of Signal Hill. The home is well organized with lots of bedding and towels and amenities in the kitchen, and the layout was terrific with a large living space for our family to gather, and private, good-sized bedrooms. The owner was very helpful and kind and quick to respond to inquiries. This is truly a gem and will make your visit to St. John's special.

Our son's and 'daughter's' wedding
Absolute, fabulous 'home away from home'! We rented for one week for close proximity before and after our son's wedding. We hosted the rehearsal party and gift opening. Pictures on your webpage do not do justice to the view and appearance of your property....second to none!! Very clean! Would definitely recommond.

My first visit to the Rock
A cool March week was enjoyed viewing the ships entering and exiting through the narrows. Met several neighbours and enjoyed the music and dining of George Street district. Bought fresh local scallops and cooked up an dinner to remember. Twelve large windows provide a fantastic view of the harbour and the narrows. Experienced the fog, cold, freezing rain, winds and the sun all in just four days. I will be back. Friendly people and a great place to stay.

Terrific spot -- Even if you only stay on the deck vs go into town
Beautiful, new, clean and convenient. Easy and pleasant walk to down town and all things urban. Could not ask for quicker access to good hiking. and of course .... the wonderful people of St John's all around you
