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.
