This traditional saltbox home sits on a large lot across the street from a rocky beach on the shores of the North Atlantic. It has 3 bedrooms (capable of sleeping 5 adults and 4 children) 1 full bath, kitchen, living room, a sitting room and large deck. One bedroom is on the main floor and has a queen bed. The second bedroom is on the 2nd floor and has a double bed, and the 3rd bedroom is on the 2nd floor and has a single bed. There is a newly renovated lounge room upstairs that has two double bunk beds (suitable for kids) , a TV and a typewriter if you'd like to send a letter back home. There is a nice big couch for lounging which can also be pulled out into a bed. The bathroom is on the main floor and has a tub and shower. The kitchen is farmhouse-style with lots of room for cooking and entertaining.
Everywhere you are in this home, your eyes are drawn to the views surrounding the property. You'll sit on the large front deck with a spectacular view of the ocean, where you can watch glorious sunsets and, if you're lucky, even spot an iceberg floating by. Outback, by the entrance to Twilly House, you'll find a great BBQ which is ready to use.

Guest Access:
Guests are welcome to park in front or alongside the home. The home is nestled in an area of Twillingate known as Hart's Cove. It's about 1.5 km to the heart of Twillingate where you'll find lots of shops, restaurants, museums and other amenities.

The Neighborhood:

My wife & I spent a week at Twilly House to explore hiking trails in Twillingate. Very nicely restored 100+ year old traditional house. Very quiet neighborhood with a great view of the water from the front porch or nice chairs on the rocky beach. Close to the village for groceries, restaurants, etc. and close to several beautiful hiking trails. Kitchen, while a bit small (it's an old house) was nicely equipped. Great communication with the property manager. When we sent a message about the grill propane tank running low, someone showed up immediately to replace it. Note that there is only one bathroom. While not an issue for us, it may be a limitation for a larger group. Also, the stairs to the 2nd floor are steep & narrow, so could be a limitation for those with mobility issues. Twilly house was perfect for us & is highly recommended!

Twilly House is a Newfoundland Gem! The location feels so private, on a beach and is the true Newfoundland experience. The house maintains its Newfoundland charm and has everything you need! I highly recommend staying at Twilly House, I am not sure anything else could beat this place, it was exceptional! We cannot wait to go back!

A stay at Twilly is the beginning of a memorable adventure! The house had everything we needed and then plenty more! Loved proximity to hiking trails and winery for lunch or dinner. Easy walk! Groceriers,more restauants and so many more trails within a very short drive. Plenty of options for hiking and dining! The house is so comfortable and clean. Enjoyed having a washer and dryer but loved the closeline. The beach across the quiet street was nice to sit on in their muskoka chairs but bring water shoes..lots of beautiful stones. Would highly recommemd a stay if you are in the area and we highly recommend a visit to the area😊 Thank you for sharing your amazing home!

This salt box house was so cozy and traditional yet had all the modern conveniences. It had a beautiful ocean view with a very large front deck with comfortable Adirondack chairs to sit and enjoy the scenery. The managing agent was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
