Peaceful beauty 20 min from St John's
Sandra has created a comfortable, fully equipped and private space with astonishing views and a secure deck space the dogs loved. Sandra and Phil are the nicest people you could hope to meet and are a gold mine for local knowledge and attractions. We would stay longer if time allowed...

views that delight
Everything about this rental was as it should be. The hosts were welcoming, shared ideas about places to visit in the area and responded quickly to a question. I was delighted to have such a great view of the cove while showering. The rocky hill next to the yard provided another delightful view of Pouch Cove. Take a chair or blanket to the rocks and enjoy morning coffee with a view. As it was very warm during our stay, I appreciated that each room had a fan. I only wished that the French doors to the deck had had a screen to enjoy the ocean breeze during the warm days. A family home your Nana would love.

Charming Pouch Cove
Our time in Newfoundland was amazing and part of the success of our trip was due to the vacation home we stayed at in Pouch Cove. The house had everything we needed and the hosts were so knowledgeable and available to talk to. The location is close enough to St. John's to travel back and forth with ease but far enough away to give a sense you are no longer in the big city. The view from the back deck and side yard is stunning and there were plenty of birds feeding while we were there. I would definitely stay here again if lucky enough to get back to Newfoundland.
