About this property

We are Canadian! Modern Salt Box with Amazing Ocean Views 10mins from St. John's

Canadians stay HOME for your vacations. Explore the East Coast of beautiful Canada. Those from around the world…. bienvenue…we welcome you! The Big Red House is perfect for everything from a romantic weekend get-away, or an extended family visit to a long term stay over several weeks. We will do our best to accommodate your travel needs.

This modern rendering of a traditional Newfoundland Salt Box House sits on over an acre of property with amazing ocean views!

You can hike the East Coast trail out the front door and watch whales, icebergs and migratory seabirds (in season) from almost every window. Enjoy the private yard with spacious deck & hammock, or relax in the open concept living area with 11' ceilings and exposed fir beams.

The house is located in historic Torbay, with easy access to downtown St. John's and the airport and only minutes to popular Middle Cove Beach where you can watch the capelin roll and enjoy an evening campfire.

This one of a kind property is the perfect location to experience the rich culture of Newfoundland and for the outdoor enthusiast to discover the Avalon Peninsula's many offerings. For those wanting to continue exploring Newfoundland, this house is about a 2.5 hour drive to Terra Nova National Park and a little over 3 hours to Gander.

The house has 4 bedrooms. The master has a king bed and ensuite, second and third bedrooms have double beds, fourth bedroom has single beds.

Longer term rentals are available during off-peak times.
