We enjoyed a lovely stay in the Twilly House, which is loaded with charm. The rocky beach out front was fun for sea glass hunting. The house is located near to everything in the Twillingate area and we even caught sight of an iceberg nearby :) 10/10!

Lovely waterside cottage with amazing views and lots of character. We enjoyed the deck chairs in the sunny warm weather bestowed upon us while we visited.

The property had historic charm while having modern amenities. The views and outdoor seating were fantastic. Our party of two adult couples traveling throughout Newfoundland enjoyed a lovely stay.

The property was just what we hoped for and expected. Twillingate was a great place to visit. We reached out to the property manager with a couple of very small requests that were responded to immediately

Lovely cottage, with lots of room. Very comfortable, very well equipped, and very nicely decorated.
Beach is just across the road and nothing beats sitting on the deck watching the sunset.
Wished we could have stayed longer and would love to come back.

This salt box house was so cozy and traditional yet had all the modern conveniences. It had a beautiful ocean view with a very large front deck with comfortable Adirondack chairs to sit and enjoy the scenery. The managing agent was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Twilly House is a Newfoundland Gem! The location feels so private, on a beach and is the true Newfoundland experience. The house maintains its Newfoundland charm and has everything you need! I highly recommend staying at Twilly House, I am not sure anything else could beat this place, it was exceptional! We cannot wait to go back!

Loved this beautiful home. We relaxed and cooked alot of meals; really appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, including spices and olive oil. The view is fantastic but unfortunately no icebergs for our visit.

From the moment we arrived we were in love with this house! - It was in just the right spot to view a half dozen icebergs. The outside was so bright and cheerful. The inside was spotless and spacious. We immediately wished we had booked a longer stay! What an awesome vacation spot!!

Twilly House was amazing. We woke up to new icebergs in the bay each morning. The view off the front porch is beautiful. The house is so bright and charming and had everything we could possibly need. Very close to hiking and the town of Twillingate with so much to see and do. I would go back in a heartbeat and when I do I am staying at Twilly House.

It was a gift to stay at this incredibly beautiful old salt box house facing the bay. We loved it the moment we saw it and then were thrilled when we entered and saw how adorable. We only stayed for a couple of nights but I want to return for a couple of weeks, great location, peaceful. Thank you to Marie!
