Torbay House
- Minimum stay:3 nights
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:Yes
Our modern, well maintained, all year round vacation home sits overlooking the rugged Atlantic Ocean shoreline. Nestled on a ½ acre of land, you are able to sit on your patio and do absolutely nothing. Relax, breathe clean, fresh air and soak up the beauty and peace of your surroundings.
Boasting 30’ ceilings, this home caters to 16 windows facing the easterly sunrise. In addition, the living area displays a large independent loft, separate common room and dining area all in an open concept surrounding.
With a privately fenced back yard, the heat from an open fire and the smell of the gentle sea breeze off the North Atlantic Ocean, anyone would feel as though they had captured their own piece of paradise.
If looking out your front window doesn’t spot you a whale then perhaps a short 45 minute drive to Bay Bulls will allow you to take in the scenery as you navigate yourself to a whale watching tour. A little more up close and personal may direct you to an ocean kayaking tour.
From this house, 10 minutes one way or 15 the other, whether you're a beginner or a pro, you'll find a golf course that's just right for you!
Finally in a land that lives by the sea, taste the freshest food the ocean provides. This morning's catch prepared for tonight's dinner - it's that fresh, and that's what makes the difference.
Welcome home!

This house was wonderful. We both felt at home here and after our daily excursions touring the Avalon we we're quite pleased to be able to come back to such a comfortable setting. Each morning waking up to see the incredible view was a special treat and all the extras in the house left us with no worries. Peter and Linsey thank you so much your house is beautiful and we will treasure our memories of our stay forever. Thank you also for finding and sending the jewelry back. We give this house and it's owners 10 stars!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you Daniel for your kind words. We are so happy we were able to provide the home you were seeking. Your sketches in the guest book are cherished by us and have been left for all others to enjoy. We can only imagine your sigh of relief to have returned such sentimental objects. If only you could have seen our excitement upon finding them. I am sure it would have put a smile to your face. Look for our Newfoundland Christmas card painted by a local artist in the mail. We look forward to seeing you in the near future.

Guest Book - Torbay House was the perfect location to explore St. John's - city during the day and a nice, quiet get away in the evening. Very comfortable accomodation - loved having the conveniences of internet, phone and Wii (THE PRICE is RIGHT - very fun). Peter and Linsey - I think you have done a great job stocking this place. We had everything we needed and more. Our little guy loved his stay and we are very appreciative for all the kids stuff.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Guest Book - We had a wonderful time at Torbay House in August. Your home is beautiful and the view is fantastic. What a heavenly place to live. A special thank you for having such well stocked cupboards! When we arrived I was starving and had soup, crackers and pudding. It was thoughtful of you to have food available. Also, thanks for all your helpful emails and suggestions re restaurants and takeout food places. I'm sorry that I didn't get to meet you..........the time went too fast. We will have to come again so that we can stay longer.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

I have to say it is the most relaxing environment I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. You can open the windows and listen to the beach, while looking out the living room windows from floor to ceiling to see the spectacular view of the Atlantic. It is breathtaking to wake up to. The loft area was my favorite part of the house. It is beautifully decorated and again offers the large windows and a view of the ocean. This property is very well maintained and has just about everything you would need besides your groceries. The furniture and overall ambiance of this property is very "spa like" and incredibly relaxing. The location is perfect. It is close to all amendities and far enough but not to far from the City. It offers more privacy than a hotel could as you have your own back deck and fenced in yard (which is also great for smaller children).. We would definitely stay again..Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Why the Owner Chose St. John's:
Just outside the city of St. John's, this property allows you a unique coastal surrounding and the tranquility of the ocean.

The peace you feel when you walk in and view the ocean from your 20 foot ceiling windows will have you feeling relaxed within minutes.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Torbay House is a home away from home. It has every amenity you could possible need. With three bedrooms downstairs and a private loft, bedroom and ensuite upstairs the choice is yours!
