On the Rocks was a lovely house with a stunning view in a thoroughly charming setting. The home was just as advertised. It was well-equipped, comfortable and spotless! We would highly recommend this rental. Had a great few days in Twillingate. (Be sure to hike on the Rockcut Trails and take in the Dinner Theatre!)

Downstairs bathroom had bugs all over the floor and BBQ was broken. Second bathroom was located down in the basement and was difficult for us older folks to do the stairs. We did enjoy the dinner theatre.

We loved the chairs overlooking the water. House was clean and we enjoyed our stay. I would highly recommend this property. The microwave was out of service when we arrived with the interior light always on but the hostess offered to have their handyman come if we needed once I let her know. We chose to leave it as we decided we didn’t need it that bad. Assuming it will be fixed for the next renters.

Fantastic house for the five of us adults. Well appointed kitchen, great views out the front window, comfortable beds, even a nice hike up the hill with even broader view of town and coastline. Very enjoyable town to stay in, with great hikes and evening entertainment.

We had a great stay at this property. The house was very clean and well-stocked with kitchen items. We enjoyed drinking our morning tea and eating breakfast outside while overlooking the bay. The location was perfect for us for our day trips exploring the area.

This house was well situated right in the heart of Twillingate. The view was amazing. It was very clean and extremely well equipped with everything you would need for any length of stay. The beds were very comfortable as well.

A quick but wonderful stay

We really enjoyed staying in this home while visiting Twillingate. It offered a wonderful view of the town and harbour. it was very well kept and comfortable. Since my wife and I were travelling with two friends they each had their own bedroom and there were two bathrooms, which made morning preparation before our boat excursion possible.
