Great location. Very very clean Really great choice to have the perfect location for our trip to St Johns such a pleasure. Will highly recommend this location to family and friends
The stay was excellent! Incredible location overlooking the harbour and enroute to the signal hill trail. A short walk to lovely coffee shops and restaurants. The roof top patio was a favorite spot of everyones to sit and enjoy the view. The house was well stocked and clean, had everything we needed and was very cozy. Charming from top to bottom.
This fantastic VRBO- Caribou Cottage was an incredibly beautiful home that has made the very best start to our family vacation touring across Newfoundland.
The pictures on the website only shows the top floor harbor view, actually, the living room in 1st floor is no view, at beginning, we thought we went to wrong house.
The cottage was a perfect place to stay with our 2 families while we ventured around Newfoundland! Walkable distance to downtown St Johns a close to the airport.
Beautiful very clean home!! Close to all things....hiking trail right out the door.Highly recommend this spacious home to everyone!! We had a fantastic 5 day stay.
The property couldn't be better situated as it is near a coastal trail to signal Hill and also a short walk to downtown. A well maintained property with all amenities. We loved our stay.
We love staying here. It's our second time and a perfect location to have as a base. Clean & comfortable for larger group and the views are amazing. Great place to hang out in Sunroom and watch all the port activity!
Beautiful views and great location (especially if you are a walker or hiker). Well stocked for 5 adults and 2 kids. We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to book again.
This is a great property with an amazing view of harbour from the deck. It is conveniently located near cafes, shopping, and downtown nightlife. My family were all able to enjoy their own private spaces as well as the communal locations- the loft and deck were favorites!
We enjoyed our stay at Cliffside Cottage - loved seeing the coming and going in the port, walking to downtown attractions and hiking the Signal Hill trails. The house is very comfortable for a family-size group; it's well-maintained, and except for the odd noisy vehicle or
bit of port hubbub, it is a quiet neighbourhood.
This property is the perfect distance for walking into town or walking on the Signal Hill trails. Great loft and deck upstairs to start the day with a coffee or end the day with a glass of wine and look out onto the bay and watch the boats. Would come again.
Nice older home situated at the top of Battery Road. We enjoyed the gorgeous view from the indoor sitting area and outside deck. This is where we enjoyed our coffee in the mornings and drinks in the late afternoon. The house was comfortable for six people. The bedrooms were a little small with luggage and lots of stairs.
Our family of four travelled to St John’s for the first time for a wedding in July. Caribou cottage made a memorable first impression!! Excellent beds/bedding in large rooms with lots of closet and storage space. Kitchen was very clean and well appointed. Fantastic location within walking distance to shops and hikes. The best part has to be the loft and views. The third story is so cosy and was the perfect place for a nightcap and visit after a busy day. Great host and great property!!
An incredible view of the harbour. We could have stayed in the top floor "nook" all day and been satisfied. Fortunately the rest of the property was great as well - clean, well equipped, nicely decorated and spacious. We had a wifi issue that was dealt with as quickly as possible. Absolutely no complaints.Highly recommended.

A beautiful house in an amazing location!
This house is wonderful with lots of space. Having different levels allowed our family to spread out. The favourite spot was the deck on the third level and the adjoining sunroom. Rochelle has thought of everything and the house is well set up. The view is terrific, and being on the Signal Hill walk was the a perfect place to be, though still a very easy walk downtown. We would book it again in a second, and hope to come back some day. Thank you for everything.

What makes this property unique
St. John's, our province's capital, is the perfect combination of big-city luxury and small-town charm. As the oldest and most easterly city in North America, this is where heritage lives. Melded with culture, history, and personality, St. John's has survived two World Wars, five centuries, countless hardships and triumphs. It's become a rare, old city full of character, experience and charisma, with a contemporary, sophisticated edge.
Wander down the narrow, criss-crossing streets carved by horse and carriage over 100 years ago. Pass the colourful jellybean row houses wedged together in every space lining the sides of steep hills and hidden alleyways. Once you've meandered down to the working harbour of the waterfront, look towards the Narrows and imagine a time when the waters were brimming full with fishing schooners.
Visit Quidi Vidi, our charming village-within-a-city, which still embodies the spirit of an old fishing outport. Then, hike up nearby Signal Hill through the famous Battery, where tiny wooden homes still cling valiantly to cliffsides ravaged by ocean waves. The unmistakable, iconic Cabot Tower guards the top of Signal Hill, where military men guarded our shores throughout the 1700s and 1800s. Here, Marconi famously received his first transmission across the Atlantic in 1901. Look out over the cliffs and watch the city's harbour and captivating skyline spread out before you. Perched on the top of the horizon is The Rooms, home to our provincial museum, art gallery and archives, standing next to the striking twin clock towers of the Basilica of St. John the Baptist.
As you explore the history of this place, shop at the many fine boutiques, shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs, and art galleries lining our streets. In the evening, sit back, relax, and enjoy live music or local theatre where actors will whisk you away to another place and time.
