Breathtaking 3 Acres of Oceanfront - Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean

This absolutely stunning property is often referred to as 'The Hidden Gem' of the Avalon Peninsula. Three beautiful acres nestled in the historic village, fondly called "The Cribbies", of Tors Cove, Newfoundland. The home is strategically placed for total privacy while still enjoying absolutely stunning world class panoramic coastal views. Enjoyed by Tourism NL for their award-winning commercials and the film industry for multiple years of ongoing productions for television shows such as Hudson & Rex and Departure.

It is located directly on the East Coast Hiking Trail which is one of the most sought after hiking trails in Canada. It overlooks the picturesque islands of the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve. The panoramic oceanfront views of majestic humpback whales, dolphins, eagles, sea otters & puffins make every day a special experience. Come explore the private beachfront and the miles of rocky shoreline on your front doorstep! Listening to the dancing rocks of Tors Cove or watching the monster waves breaking over the cliffs of Fox Island. Experience the absolute best that Mother Nature has to offer in this absolutely incredible property.

This beautiful A-frame home has all new appliances and a fully equipped kitchen, new fun and functional living room furniture, two spacious bedrooms (1 king bed & 1 queen bed), a wheelchair accessible bathroom with a roll-in shower and a washer/dryer. It will feel like a home away from home.

It is the perfect location to use as a "home base" while exploring many scenic local attractions and only five minutes to the local whale watching tours and fine dining restaurants and cafes .

Charming Community with Incredible Ocean Views
Tors Cove is a charming and quiet little community with incredible ocean views. We feel extremely fortunate to have stayed at this property for our week vacation this past summer. The cottage was spacious, uncluttered and well maintained. We loved the open concept living space with all of the natural light streaming through the A-frame windows. Bedrooms were very comfortable and bright and the bathroom spacious with a washer/dryer combo that was incredibly helpful. The view of the ocean from the cottage was absolutely stunning and perfect for whale and boat watching right from the deck. We spent time walking the trails within the community down to the rocky beach where we skipped rocks, collected various sea treasures and watched an incredible show of a group of Northern Gannets "torpedo diving" for their dinner! We hoped to take more advantage of the East Coast Trail, which is right off the property entrance gate, but unfortunately one of our daughters had sprained her ankle the week we left for our vacation. We quickly pivoted our plans and took advantage of other nearby adventures including Sea Kayaking in Cape Broyle and a Zodiac Tour operating out of Petty Harbour. So many whales, seabirds and cave exploring. We also enjoyed a few days in and around St. John's, which was only a quick 30 minute drive from Tors Cove. Thank you Frank & Sandra for sharing your North Atlantic Oasis ... we hope to get back again for more memorable adventures!

Lovely home and area!
We just loved this home and the location, the views!!! The views from this home are absolutely spectacular in any weather conditions. The house is beautiful with everything you could possibly need or want and was very clean. I loved the area, a lot to take in and do. We just had the best time, completely recommend and hoping to be able to return.

Beautiful location right on the Atlantic Ocean and offers expansive views. Great hikes start at the end of the driveway. Convenient to other scenic locations in Avalon. Generally, the House was beautiful and had everything we needed but could use a little TLC.

Beautiful Property, but Inaccurate Pictures of Interior
We enjoyed our stay at this home. We saw lots of wild life and whales, which was very exciting! Easy access to the trails and beach. The large windows gave a glorious view of the ocean. The open design of the kitchen and living room was also nice. The beds were comfy, giving us all a great night’s rest. The pictures in the listing do not match the actual interior of the house. The furniture in the living room has been changed to a dark gray, three section IKEA like sofa and ottoman, with two swivel chairs, one blue and one striped. There is a pine coffee table and end table. The rug is also different and needs a pad underneath to keep it from moving. The bedrooms are sparse in decor (nothing on the walls, no curtains), and necessities, like side table lamps, (which we were told had been ordered, but not delivered). The blinds in the smaller bedroom were broken, and there were no curtains. We addressed this with the owners and we’re told it would be fixed in the next day or so. It wasn’t repaired while we were there and there was no further communication from the owners. We rigged up a blanket and towels to cover the window for privacy and to keep out the morning sun. The floor was dusty. The larger bedroom was the same, nothing on the walls, incomplete trim around the attic access area, and the arrangement of the furniture was awkward due to a large built-in shelf, probably for a TV. The furniture itself was nice and the beds were very comfortable.
