Oceanview Southport Newfoundland!

This was an absolutely wonderful stay. The house was as advertised and better. Communication with the host was regular, timely, and very helpful. The views of the village and harbour from the house were outstanding. The whole experience was like coming home only so much better. We felt very comfortable and would have loved to stay longer. We will definitely try to come back!

We’re from Alberta, seniors and of course have visited the Pacific Coast numerous times. We have wanted to visit NFLD forever. My husband visited St Johns about 5 years ago and we also have friends there. We finally decided enough, we’re both going! We COULD NOT have found a nicer place to stay with our little yorkie in tow. We were a bit lost when we first got there. (We drove from St Johns which is not a long drive at all). We flagged down a fellow that we came to know as Bruce. He knew exactly where we were staying and had us follow him on his quad just up the road to our place. We drove right by it 🙄. He then asked us if we liked fish and….of course…we’re in a fishing village lol. He told us he had just caught some Cod that day and he would be right back with some. Sure enough he was back in 5 min and it was excellent for our first meal in a lovely little place. A few days later he stopped by with some raspberries he had picked that day. The next door neighbours were also just fantastic! Albert and Bernice. Albert took us along with Bernice on his boat a gave us a wonderful tour. It’s so beautiful! I had been fishing before but have never in my life caught anything. Albert was bound and determined that I would so we did some jigging. So much fun fishing with Bernice. Between the two of us we caught 6 fish! I was so delighted that I caught my first fish ever in the Atlantic Ocean! We can hardly wait to come back next year but except longer! Best vacation ever!

We were visiting for a family reunion and found this cottage for our week. We were surprised at first on the long drive (30min) back from the main road but then pulled into Southport and realized we made the best choice! The drive had specular views and lots of places to stop including rock beaches where my son “hand fished” for Caplin. Southport is a great little fishing town too. The cottage is located right in the community with amazing views of the docks and ocean from the front porch. We spent most nights out there after the kids went to bed. The cottage was in great shape and very clean. It was stocked with games, movies and puzzles; all used by our family. Our host recommended Little Hearts Ease Beach Trail and it quickly became our favourite hiking spot nearby. We would highly recommend this place to stay. Great communication too between us and our host! Thanks again for the great accommodations.

When we were looking at booking this place the first thing we had asked was if we could park a truck and 25ft trailer at their place. They said no problem that we would be able to turn it around in their yard but it had a bit of a hill. Needless to say when we arrived not only could we not back the trailer into the laneway we couldn’t even back it up the road. Very steep roadway and the laneway was really steep also. We managed to ask the gentleman at the wharf if we could park the trailer there and they were very accommodating. We were to stay for 4 nights but asked for a refund and stayed for 2 nights only, because we had our Harley in the back of our trailer to ride but could not get it out to ride and no where to park it either. Pamela did refund us for two nights. This house is in a beautiful little spot with nothing around. You have at least 1/2 hour drive in and out to get to anyplace. The house was very nice. When I opened the fridge to put our food in I was shocked to see how many items were in the fridge. The whole door side was filled with all kind of condiments. Might not bother other people but it did bother us. Would not stay at this place again.
