Amazing location and beautiful cottage. Walking distance from downtown and Signal Hill. All amenities provided, including washer and dryer. Would go back any time.

The cottage was well stocked with everything we could need, the only issue I had was that there were some very warm days (the locals were telling us it was very rare weather) and it seemed to get inescapably hot and humid in the bedroom and the fan provided just didn't seem to make even a dent. By far the best thing was the location, we could walk to everything we wanted to do and see! Lots of restaurants and grocery options nearby.

Overall the property was very peaceful and serene. My son and his wife did not enjoy the mattress in the second bedroom. They said it was much too hard. For those that still iron you might want to purchase a new ironing board cover.One last thing. Bar soap in the bathroom would have been nice to have. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

Most people will love but a few will dislike. We got here after having rural waterfront views in 2 other spots. What a contrast! We had waterfront, but it was a scene of a busy harbour of a busy city. We watched and tracked the ships from the balcony and online as they entered and left and the activity was interesting to watch. But it's noisy. At night it was just a dull roar but during the day there were all the expected clanks and bangs... not overwhelming for us but definitely omnipresent. FOR THE 3 DAYS WE WERE THERE IT WAS DIFFERENT & GREAT. If you are searching for tranquility though? Nope. Parking and driving is again an individual rating. We had no problems once we figured out exactly where to park. But you have to be able to manoeuvre your vehicle in tighter spaces and not mind starting on a bit of a hill. Weekends the other tourists fill the narrow streets and are not above trying to take your spot at the cottage. Communication is good but very corporate in tone. We never figured out if there was a real person we were talking to or if it was a company. This was unlike the personal contact we had with our other stays. Again, whether you like this or not depends on your personality. The place was clean/neat but the kitchen had a number of undated items that people had left and the cleanliness of utensils/plates - and salt/pepper - required a wash. No dishwasher so this is expected. So close to trails and downtown!!! A good stay was had.

The cottage,location and the view were first class. Cottage was very clean and spacious rooms. Location is just minutes walk to fort Amherst, water and George streets, and many other sites. And the few of the harbour is amazing where you can almost touch the ships going in and out. Would recommend to anyone

The cottage was perfectly located to explore St Johns. We walked into St. John’s for dinner and shopping. The north head trail is right around the corner. It had a great view of the harbour and ships. It was cozy and had all the amenities we needed for our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the battery and would highly recommend a stay.

We loved staying on Battery Rd with the view of the harbour. It was interesting to see the ships, tugs and passenger cruises coming and going. St Johns is a very walkable city and the location of our rental was perfect to walk downtown. We enjoyed the historic sites in and around St John’s and again Battery Road was the perfect location to navigate from. We will be back.

This hillside, harbourview cottage was so conveniently located, we never used our car during our stay. We walked to downtown restaurants and shops, and the Signal Hill trailhead was right down the street. We had a bit of a blip upon check in, but we were able to reach the property manangement company via phone to solve the issue. Very quiet neighborhood, with nice views.

What a wonderful little house! The location was perfect and the view was fantastic. We had one extremely stormy day and stayed in. Being able to watch the harbor all day while relaxing in the living area was an added bonus.

This property was just perfect! The view of the working harbor and downtown St John’s was truly lovely. And it was just a few steps from the front door to some excellent hiking! It was a great spot to stay for a few days.

The property is located on the side of a hill with a perfect, unobstrcuted view of the harbor. Most of town is within a 5-10 minute walk, including several nice breakfast places.

This is the perfect place to walk all of downtown St. John’s. The view over the harbour is ever changing with the weather and the various ships. The house is clean and the property management was right there when we had an issue. The owner was totally accessible as well. The area is quite hilly ( as is all of St John’s) so anyone who wants to walk needs to be able to do hills. We were so pleased with this rental. We would come back in a heartbeat.

A perfect space for a couple with views over the entire St. John's Harbour. Well equipped with good beds, covers and pillows. One mar=tress is firmer than the other. Parking is a bit tricky but NO traffic (and a dead-end) so take your time and it's really no problem. We loved watching the harbour both morning and night. Sometimes from inside when it was cool and on the balcony when it was warmer. Close to everything downtown. Recommending to friends.

Beautiful harbour views

Beautiful harbour views

Bake apple cottage was perfect size for 3 adults. View was gorgeous and the location was perfect, you can link up to great hiking trials to signal hill and Quidi Vidi right from your front door. All the downtown shops, restaurants and entertainment are within short walking distance. Only complaint is the Queen bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable, the double bed was somewhat better but still not comfortable for a week long stay. The beds themselves are not hotel quality but the bed linens and towels were good quality and the kitchen was well equipped.
