Million Dollar View! Ocean Front, 3 Bedroom Cottage, 15 Min. from St. John's

This charming Saltbox Cottage and Guest Bunkie are located in a small out port called Bauline. Bauline is located at the base of a 1000-foot high mountain where publicly groomed trails will lead you to the summit. This quaint, modern and very clean, ocean front century home has a lovely western view of Conception Bay and the village's lobster/crab fishing port. The Saltbox Cottage is located just 15 minutes from St. John's. Sunsets in Bauline are spectacular, especially while sipping on a cocktail on your own private, 300 square foot patio. Beside the property is a babbling brook that will serenade you to blissful slumber.

Originally built in 1892, the Saltbox is carefully renovated to accommodate modern amenities however; we have attempted to keep a lot of the original character. Notice the stairs leading to the second floor are worn by over 100 years of traffic. The Guest Bunkie is newly built and just a few steps away from the cottage.

Highlights of this stunning property:
The Saltbox is a 1500 square foot, 2 story century home on the ocean. The Guest Bunkie is 150 square feet and offers the third bedroom and half bath. This property can sleep up to 6 maximum with 3 bedrooms.

Some of the highlights of this property include a beautiful Saltbox style cottage and a bright Guest bunkie just steps away. Both buildings face the ocean and offer spectacular ocean views:

Cottage Features:
Stunning ocean front views from your private deck with lounge and dining furniture and seating for 8 guests. The main floor of the cottage boasts a large living room with light streaming in and windows throughout, a fireplace for cool mornings. There is a bright powder room, washer / dryer, large dining room with seating for 6 and a large full kitchen with a second dining table. The second floor boasts a large, bright, airy master bedroom with king bed, crisp linens and windows for spectacular ocean views. Across the bright hall you will enjoy a clean, modern, full size washroom with tile floor and stunning views of the ocean and harbor. The second bedroom on this floor has two twin beds with decorated with beautiful bright linens and windows that offer views of the ocean and harbor.
This beautiful property comes with wireless internet, cable TV, VCR, stereo, large private 300 square foot deck with great panoramic ocean views, with outdoor patio furniture, 4 Muskoka lounge chairs with foot stools, and BBQ.

The bright, modern Guest Bunkie offers large windows with stunning ocean views, plush king size bed with crisp linens and one half bathroom with sink and toilet.

Please note: The Saltbox is not suggested for the elderly as the staircase, although beautiful, is fairly narrow. Also, the shower does not have a handrail.

Great month in Bauline
The Saltbox was the perfect location for our Newfoundland vacation. Close to the East Coast Trail, minutes from the city and with the most incredible view and sunsets. Could not imagine anything better.

Beautiful house and location
The saltbox is well maintained and super attractive. Everything is updated but the historical character of the house remains. The view is beautiful and exactly as depicted on the pictures. There are hiking opportunities within walking distance from the house which is awesome. The community members were kind and welcoming. I highly recommend this house and would be happy to stay here again. The four of us has a great vacation and the house contributed greatly to the experience.

Great family cottage
This property was great for my family of six ( 4 teenagers). Lots of hilly hiking trails, fishing off the pier and close to St. John’s.

What an amazing place
We had a pod of 20 humpbacks whales about 200 metres from the beautiful deck and amazing historic Saltbox house. Thats a bonus along with the Bald eagle who was checking the daily catch of fisherman down at the bay. The cottage is so well equiped with a large eat-in kitchen to prepare our meals. A huge dining room and family room to boot. The bedrooms were fantastic, washrooms as well. The bunkie was perfect. Not a complaint for anything. Francine has decorated this house with tons of Newfoundland charm. It's so close to St John so an easy drive to the sights but coming into Bauline you will realize that this is one of the best views ever. Wow!! Thanks to Francine for being attentive to our grandaughters needs and any questions. So easy to relax that it was very hard to leave.

Amazing view!
The cottage was stunning and had all necessities needed for our stay. It was very clean and had comfortable furniture and beds. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets and relaxing on the deck. It was a 30 min drive to St. John’s and 12 minute drive to Torbay. Torbay had the Traditional Coffee and Deli shop which is a must for delicious sandwiches, lasagna and baked goods. We unfortunately did not see any whales, as it was late in the season. Enjoyed watching the fishermen on the weekend. Met a lovely neighbour who provided us with a history of the town and stories. Visited the Botanical Garden, The Room, Cape Spear and St. John’s. All sites were approximately a half hour from the cottage. The cottage is in small harbour of 30 homes. Very peaceful and serene.

Wow!!
The one problem with the Saltbox is that it is so perfect we were a touch unmotivated to sightsee. The view from the deck is hard to pull yourself away from (bonus, saw whales 3 of 7 the days we stayed). In all seriousness, we can't imagine a better base from which to explore the many sights, entertainment, history, nature and more that the area offers. The cottage and location are both 20/10... immaculate, private, comfortable, with many thoughtful touches and everything needed for an exceptionally enjoyable stay, including seemingly endless options for fun and adventure within an easy drive/hike. Thank you for the warm welcome and sharing your piece of paradise with 2 grateful visitors!

A Slice of Heaven!
We loved our stay in this wonderful Saltbox! The house is so cute, very comfortable, and very clean. Fresh flowers was a great touch to welcome us! The Saltbox is in a quiet and peaceful fishing village and only a 10 minute ride away from city life in St. John's. We explored many coffee shops in the city as well as some in smaller communities on the Avalon Penninsula. The scenery is stunning! We had beautiful sunsets that we enjoyed watching from the deck. We were able to see a pod of dolphins and three minke whales from the deck. When up early enough in the mornings, we saw the fishermen leave in their boats from the wharf to go for lobster not far from the house. We met one of the fishermen named Desmond. What a wonderful guy! It was a pleasure meeting him and his son! We bought several fresh lobsters from him and what delicious lobsters they were. We also met several neighbours. They certainly lived up to the reputation that Newfoundanders are very friendly people. We also met a wonderful couple on our daily walks who invited us for coffee! We were able to walk several parts of the East Coast Trail. Francine, the owner, always responded very quickly with any questions we had. Can't say enough about this vacation! We hope to return one day. If we could we would rate this rental much higher than a 5 star. Frank and Louise Stevens, Barrie, Ontario

Relaxing getaway!
We enjoyed our stay at the salt box cottage so much so that we will be back! Newfoundland was everything we thought it would be and more. The people are so friendly.. the cottage was adorable and the whale watching from the deck was the icing on the cake. There was no better place to ‘turn back time’ and relax and rejuvenate. We were sad to leave and can’t wait to return.
