Very special house…

David and Coco’s place in Summerville is exquisite. They have maintained the spirit of the place perfectly while adding all the amenities you might need. (The master bed is incredibly comfortable. Best sleep of our lives.) It’s on a dead end road in a beautiful cove and so is very peaceful but within striking distance of Bonavista, Trinity and all the other very busy spots on the peninsula.Dave and Coco also give their guests a very thoughtful guide to the house and area. Can’t recommend enogh.

The house was very spacious and comfortable. Great beds and very well equipped. It was so quiet and we loved just hanging on the front deck.

Summerville stay

This is a fantastic well kept property. that had all we expected and more. The only disadvantage is that it's a bit far away from Trinity, Port Rexton, and Bonavista, where most of the restaurants are. But lot's of hiking trails nearby and tons of blueberries if you go in August.

Family trip to Summerville

Our family of 11 rented two properties together and loved every minute of it! This is a beautiful quaint and authentic NL home with a stunning view of the bay and Jiggin Head. The hosts were available to answer any questions and helped to ensure our stay was perfect! Thank you so much Dave and Coco we would love to come back! Cheers

Wonderful Historic House

We had a wonderful stay in this historic home. It was clean, cosy and had lots of character. We enjoyed having several meals in the the home during our stay - including using the charcoal BBQ. We also enjoyed the hospitality in the area, spending time in Bonavista, Trinity, Port Rexton and Elliston. We had great day on the beach in Elliston! We took our dog and that worked very well. The place is very pet friendly! I would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again!

The Adorable Dory Buff

Beautiful property! It was a step back in time. The modern amenities did not detract from the rustic charm, comfortable beds, and quiet peacefulness of the community.

Amazing Get Away

We used our beautiful stay in Summerville to explore the Bonnavista Peninsula. It was a quite, comfortable and charming place to stay. The quite sounds of the Bay, the light breeze off the ocean, the morning coffee and evening wine on the patio, it was what everyone needs to recharge and appreciate life. The check in was easy, the place was very clean and well equipped, the beds were comfortable and it's tastefully decorated. Just needed to turn off your notifications and relax. We would love to return and would recommend this stay to anyone traveling to the area,. Brad and Family

Exceeded Expectations!

Our stay here at Dory Buff was outstanding. The accommodations exceeded our expectations of being authentic and non-touristy. Dave and Coco have created a beautiful experience for us in an exceptionally CLEAN, authentic and well appointed home even with its 175 year old heritage. We often experienced the milk of human kindness during our weeklong stay from our hosts, other visitors, and local shopkeepers. This big land is a not-so-hidden gem for travelers seeking a peaceful holiday surrounded by natural and historic beauty. We hiked on the many trails that hugged the rugged shorelines of the Bonavista Peninsula and words simply cannot describe the grandeur. Thank you! We'll be back!

Beautifully restored 19th century house

This comfortable and well-equipped house in peaceful Summerside made for a wonderful few days midway through our family tour of Newfoundland. It gave us a chance to recharge after busy travel days through Gros Morne and the Great Northern Peninsula, and Twillingate. It is a good half hour to Trinity, so not for those who wish to be a hop skip and jump from restaurants, theatre, etc., but a great spot from which to do a day trip around the Bonavista Peninsula, including hiking the Skerwink trail. The king-sized bed was super comfy, as was the the queen in the “guest room”. The bunk beds are smaller than twin-sized, though, and not really suitable for bigger teens or adults.

Great stay in Summerville area!

We had a great 3 night stay in this charmingly decorated historic house! It was very well set up for our family of four including two teens, and my older parents. Bedroom and a half bath on ground floor worked well for them. The kitchen is well appointed and has everything you would need for any length of stay. Perhaps an extra chair in the living room for those who have older kids, so everyone can sit and chat. It was lovely weather so we were outside most of the time when at the house. The kids enjoyed a hit of the Xbox! The fisherman were busy when we were there in August. Dave and Coco are great hosts and just next door if needed. They have done a wonderful restoration of the house and we loved the sea glass art. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay to explore that side of Bonavista Bay, and it is very convenient to Trinity and Port Rexton as well. Thank you and have a wonderful rest of summer!
