About this property
Murray House Vacation Home: Pet friendly, mature trees, near the ocean & coast
Leave the accommodations to us! Our cozy, clean, duplex style, country home, is located Pouch Cove, Newfoundland, a small town with its roots in the fishing and farming industries. Our vacation home is surrounded by an abundance of natural landscapes and has amazing ocean views. In the summer, when the trees are in full bloom, the ocean view is compromised but there are view points both within the house and outside the property.
Myself and my husband, a middle-aged couple, live in the second side of the duplex and, although respectful of privacy, are available when requested and do our utmost to ensure our guest’s holiday experience is filled with positive memories.
Visitors to our area are impressed by the lack of industrial noise and the pleasing fresh country air, beautiful views, and friendly residents. Also, because Pouch Cove is located just 20 minutes from the city, we are perfectly situated for guests to experience Newfoundland’s unique urban and rural cultures.
Our vacation home offers in-lane, parking immediately adjacent to the private front entrance. There are no other homes within direct contact to the home. Mature trees form boundaries along the distant perimeter of the property and flowering plants on the side border add distinction and color during the summer season. Just beyond the side border of property is a tall hill from which one can see amazing views of the horizon, ocean, shoreline, and a large portion of Pouch Cove.
Our vacation home has a huge, enclosed, 3 section, patio with an amazing ocean view. In the summer season, the patio is outfitted with a 4 burner, family sized, propane BBQ and an assortment of patio furniture.
The house’s interior is cozy and captures the feeling of outport living. Murray House Vacation Home features 2 bedrooms (one with a queen bed; the other a double). We are pet friendly for small, non-destructive, pets.
Furnishings inside the house include a portable air conditioner, washer, dryer, fridge, stove, microwave, countertop dishwasher, 4 slice toaster, Keurig and drip coffee machines, pots, pans, slow cooker, dinnerware, utensils, bar height table with 4 chairs, 2 full sized reclining sofas, an end table with accent lighting, 55-inch flat screen TV on an electric fireplace, and, in each of the two bedrooms, a double bed, 48-inch TV on electric fireplace base, and a computer table with 2 chairs. We have a whirlpool tub / shower. Cleaners, detergents, linen, shampoo, 4 rolls of toilet tissue, and 2 rolls of paper towels are included at no extra charge.
We subscribe to high speed wi-fi internet and a large assortment of cable television networks including many movie networks and Netflix.
For day trips and sight-seeing opportunities, there are two rugged hiking trails, part of the East Coast Trail, about 5 minutes in either direction from our home. Be sure to keep a watch for icebergs, whales, and ships, and other ocean attractions which, in season, are commonly seen in our coastal waters. Birdwatching enthusiasts will appreciate the many species of songbirds and ocean birds that make Pouch Cove their home. The migratory pattern of birds welcomes different species during different seasons of the year. Be sure to keep a well charged camera to capture the essence of your amazing, well-deserved, vacation. Breathe in fresh air and breathe out stress.

About the host
Hosted by Sandra
My husband and I are a native Newfoundland mature couple who live in the other side of this duplex, having purchased the vacation home in '16 when I (Sandra) retired from health care. We are a quiet couple with a simple lifestyle and place a high value on nature and pets. Phil is a real "bay" guy, having grown up in Pouch Cove and raised in a fishing family. We are easy-going, love to meet new people, and are very pleased to be able to offer our vacation home to you while you vacation in our beautiful province and community
Why they chose this property
We are committed to helping ensure that your holiday is pleasant and memorable and want your accommodations to being stress-free. We love to welcome guests to our beautiful vacation home and to our fantastic province.
The house's pictures can not capture the atmosphere that you feel when at the house, the warm and welcoming feeling, the beautiful furnishings, the smell of country air, the birds chirping in the trees, the sound of waves crashing the shoreline a few hundred feet away. There is only so much that one can capture with a camera lens.
The wrap around patio is furnished with various outdoor furniture during season to allow for ultimate pleasure and relaxation in our great outdoors. A family 4 burner BBQ is provided for sole use of the guests at our vacation home (stored in winter).
The beautiful, scenic, coastal East Coast hiking trails are only 5 minutes away for those hiking enthusiasts
Why this property ? Because we care ! We go the extra mile just to see you smile. Our competitive pricing does not cut back on quality. Read some of our fantastic reviews and, better still, come see for yourself why we say that we are "the best catch on the Atlantic"

What makes this property unique
We have a very private home on a side street in which there are only 3 other houses. Our property spans one full length of the road, with a sloping grassy lawn. There are mature trees providing added privacy.
In summer, a large assortment of flowering bushes add stunning beauty, color, and character to out vacation home.
The house's patio overlooks the ocean and, because the patio has 3 distinct sections and wraps around the house, you can chase the sun and the summer breeze through the day. There are gates that allow the patio to be secured to prevent small pets and children from freely walking away from the house. There are solar patio lights extending the back and side extension sections of the patio. At night, the silhouette created by these lights is spell-binding !
For time away from the house when sightseeing or just getting to know the area, you are just 20 min from the city so you get to enjoy the best of both worlds. Also, our vacation home is a mere 5 min walk from our two rugged hiking trails.
