On the Rocks Overlooking the Sea

Summary:

A perfect base for exploring Twillingate, this family and pet-friendly home is perched on the rocks overlooking Twillingate Harbour. Centrally located, you'll be able to walk directly onto beautiful hiking trails from your backyard or walk to nearby attractions, restaurants, shops and bars in the heart of Twillingate.

On the main level of the home, there are 3 bedrooms, a large eat-in kitchen, a cozy living area and a full bath. There is a basement with a large recreation room, laundry room and 2nd full bath.



Guest Access:

You can access the entire home.



The Neighborhood:

On the Rocks is very centrally located in Twillingate. You can walk to many of the local attractions, shops and restaurants. From the back door you can walk to an area the locals refer to as Smith's lookout (cross on hill) overlooking the ocean and all of Twillingate or down to beautiful Snellings Cove where you can explore the beach and endless fields of berries.



Getting Around:

On the Rocks is up a fairly steep hill. If you do plan on walking, this is something to keep in mind.



Other Things to Note:

If you head down to the basement, you'll need to mind a very low ceiling on your way down!

A quick but wonderful stay

We really enjoyed staying in this home while visiting Twillingate. It offered a wonderful view of the town and harbour. it was very well kept and comfortable. Since my wife and I were travelling with two friends they each had their own bedroom and there were two bathrooms, which made morning preparation before our boat excursion possible.

Great views of Twillingate. Easy access to restaurants and iceberg tours. The house was very clean and had local art work. Near a nice hiking trail to the cross monument to town members lost at sea. Lovely flowers around the yard in summer.

A wonderful stay for a wedding weekend with friends! House is fully equipped with anything you may need for a stay. The house is beautiful, as well as the view. Would recommend this stay for anyone. The only downside is that the basement is infested with carpenter bugs, so none of us felt comfortable using the shower. Besides this the house is incredibly clean!
