We highly recommend this cottage. It’s got everything you need for a stay in Petty Harbor. There’s enough to do in Petty Harbor, relax, hike, fish or go on a boat tour to see whales and other wildlife. The locals are are accommodating and everyone we ran into was nice. The cottage has a modern feel with enough rustic charm to let you know you are someplace special. Generous kitchen, the deck has outstanding views of the harbor and some ocean too. There are so many little extras like the lighted drawers in the bedrooms and the charging plugs right by the beds that make this place so comfortable. And even though we didn’t turn the tv on once, there’s a great dvd collection for that rainy day you just want to chill inside. We really hope to return here again.

Overall a great staging spot to your the area. Comfortable cottage with all of the amenities needed. After a couple of initial glitches all went well except for some late night music from the very close neighbour.

Really enjoyed it host very accommodating.. all the suplies you could ask for, evan smoked salmon in the fridge

Wow! Bob's Cottage Hill was an outstanding experience for us. We loved being relatively close to St. John's (could drive there in ~20 minutes) while still enjoying the quiet, serenity, and gorgeous view of Petty Harbour. The Petty Harbour location is relatively close to St. John's (and to Witless Bay and really close to Cape Spear Lighthouse) and also to newer communities in the area for daily supplies (though Bob has provided most of anything one would need). Bob is a welcoming host who answered questions and provided us with ideas for things to see and do in the area. He has stocked his cottage with all types of things that a traveler might need. Having a large dedicated sparking space next to the cottage was also convenient. The cottage also has many electrical outlets and USB connections and really fast Wifi. We loved returning to this cottage after busy days in St. John's and on the Avalon Peninsula and were sorry we had to leave! We had planned much to do while in the area during the day because we'd rather be out and about seeing things than stuck in a hotel room, but this cottage made us wish we had left more time to enjoy its comfort, ambiance, and view.

Awesome view of Bay, Host very friendly and helpful . Great place to stay !

great spot, very cool watching a working fishing harbor, the cabin has everything you may need, with a good restaurant just a short walk away. I wish we had a few more days

Everything we could need was provided in this rental. Bob, our host, was very easy to communicate with, checked on us during our stay and made the effort to personally meet us. The fishing village of Petty Harbour-Maddox Cove is very picturesque although it is a bit of a distance from the city center. One would definitely need a car for this stay.

We had an absolutely wonderful time. The cottage had everything we needed and then some, it’s very well equipped, but if there was anything else needed Bob was close by and very happy to help. The view of the harbour is spectacular. We wished we had booked more time. And hope to be back some day.

This is a gem buried in the heart of Petty Harbour. This cozy home was outstanding, so well laid out, amenities offered amongst the best I have ever experienced in a home rental ever and incredibly well located! I highly, highly recommend this place and hope to return to it again. Thank you Bob, your home rental is fabulous!

Bob is the most thoughtful host we have ever encountered. The cottage is well appointed, and fully stocked. Just move in and enjoy. Terrific library as well. Back deck is a delight. Steep incline to get into the cottage but we managed it easily.

We had the best time here and had everything our family needed and Bob was the best host and so accommodating. Could not have had a better place to stay!

This was one of the nicest rentals I’ve stayed in. It was in a stunning location. The house is really comfortable and stylish and the host has thought of everything you could possibly need to make your stay perfect. High quality furniture and fittings. Can’t wait to stay again.

This cottage comes fully equipped with everything you would need. The beds are extremely comfortable and the unit is very clean. The cottage is nicer than what the pictures depict. Bob is very accommodating and checks to make sure you are comfortable. We would love to come back!

Property was wonderful. Great location, good parking. Has been renovated, fantastic. Everything you need, lovely view from deck. The owner Rob is great, on our last night he brought freshly caught squid, he showed me how to prepare them and we bbq"d calamari. Awesome!

Bob was super helpful.everything was terrific

We can't say enough great things about this little hidden gem. Bob was an excellent host and available to us throughout our stay. When we asked questions, he was quick to respond and was really helpful with everything! The location of Petty Harbour is a perfect spot - close enough to drive into St. John's easily, but yet we were in a small but active fishing harbour that gave us a real sense of Newfoundland life. The cottage itself had everything we needed, right down to board games and comfy bathrobes in each bedroom. Great little touches throughout. We would go back in a heartbeat!

Excellent

Robert is the best host we ever had. We love the property!

Perfect spot for a getaway. Robert the owner was very easy to communicate with. The house has all the amenities. It was perfect! He had speakers in every room, and a very modern feel with some rustic aspects as well! I would definitely stay there again!

Wonderful spot to stay. Well supplied kitchen with every convenience - great view of the harbour from there Tastefully decorated - all the extras - games, books, great speakers, big screen tv .... bed so comfy. I would return for sure. Thankyou Bob

This property is a hidden gem, it was perfect for our girls group of 4 to get away from the city for some R&R and not have the hassle of a long drive. The location is ideal! The property is impeccably maintained and the owner has created a little Petty harbour oasis. Bob thank you for your hospitality and for being immediately responsive to any questions we had. I have a feeling this will be an annual event! Cheers, Jess, Adele, Penny and Allie

Bob was a great host that made sure we very comfortable. He has the cottage very welled stocked and we wanted for nothing. It is such a lovely spot with great views of the little harbour. We were able to visit with family and see the sites which were never far away. We had a lot of fun and laughs with Bob and can't wait to come back. Thanks again for sharing your little piece of heaven with us. We will leave with great memories. Until we meet again, Dianne & Bruce

Great location, beautifully appointed cottage and true to the online pictures with everything we needed.

We had a great trip visiting St. Johns. We stayed in Petty Harbour which was a perfect location to explore both the city and some of the surrounding sites. The house was very clean and well appointed. Bob very helpful answering any questions we had. Thank you!

We had an amazing stay in Petty Harbour, lovely place just 15 minutes from St. John’s. Would definitely recommend this location to anyone visiting the St John’s area. Robert was an amazing host - thanks so much for everything!!!

This beautiful, clean and well stocked cottage was perfect for our stay in Petty Harbour. We would most definitely stay here again and have recommended the cottage to many friends and family. The host was available whenever needed and very kind and helpful. We would stay here again in a heart beat!
