About this property

Beautiful home in Flatrock, spectacular ocean view, spacious grounds, magical

Enjoy the best possible site for visiting the St John's area. a
Approximately 20 minutes from the airport, this house has it all, with plenty of outdoor seating, wooded area behind the house, ocean in front. Great for families or couples. Twenty to twenty five minutes to downtown St John's and it's fine restaurants and art galleries as well as its colorful houses. A big attraction here is the close access to the East Coast Trail, just minutes from your front door.

As you enter, you immediately know that you are in a special place. Facing you is the large and extremely well equipped kitchen, a sunny family room and a dining room and living room with a panoramic view of the ocean and the surrounding cliffs. Open the door and step out on the veranda which surrounds three sides of the house. Sit on the colorful Adirondack chairs and take a deep breath. You realize that you have arrived in the vacation home of your dreams! Take a stroll through the garden where you can, in season, pick fresh lettuce, Swiss chard, green onions for your salad plus a variety of herbs.. Enjoy the flowers and trees on all sides. In September there are potatoes, carrots and turnips.

Upstairs has two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The master bedroom with queen mattress is large and bright with windows facing the ocean. You will wake up to the gentle lap of the waves against the shore or maybe the crash of waves against the rocks. The master bath has a walk in shower, plus a free standing tub, perfect for relaxing in after a long day hiking or sight seeing. All the bathrooms are well supplied with soap, shampoo and conditioner and lots of good quality towels.
The second bedroom also has a queen bed and own bathroom . It has an ocean view plus a view of the valley to the west.
The third bedroom is located in a Casita situated next to the main house. This very pretty and spacious room has a queen bed and full bathroom. Two large windows provide excellent light plus a great ocean view.

The laundry room, with detergent supplied, is located on the second floor.

If needed, a fourth sleeping area would be in the family room, where we have a sofa bed to which we add a very comfortable double mattress. As this is not a private space we would recommend it only for children. But many adults have slept there without a problem..

If you like games, we have Bocci and croquet. For indoor fun, card games and scrabble.

Great place, great time!

We loved this location. It had all the amenities topped of with a great view of the ocean. Comfortable, clean, located close to trails and not too far from St. John's also. Our hosts provided everything we needed while being very responsive to our requests. I wouldn't change a thing.

Worth a special trip!

We just finished our second stay at Flat Rock. Eileen and Glenn are perfect hosts and the home is absolutely perfect. It sits on a gorgeous hill above the harbour and the views are spectacular. The home is so well equipped that you need no condiments, potatoes, rice,etc.. Check before you shop! It’s the BEST EVER, not to be missed.

Paradise along the Coast

This property is absolutely amazing from its wrap around porch, the stunning views overlooking the bay, the home comforts and the beautiful gardens. It is only a short 20 min drive to St. John’s. Flat Rock is close to a small Foodland/liquor store and there are a few restaurants. We spent the most amazing 4 nights here. The extra bedroom/bathroom in the red building is so cozy and the views won’t disappoint.

Relaxation in Flatrock

The property was clean and comfortably appointed. We loved every aspect of the home and the view. I especially enjoyed the brightly coloured sunrises in the early morning while listening to the ocean waves on the beach. It was close to St. John's and easy to get there for cruises and sight seeing. We had a wonderful time and would definitely return there on our next visit to the area. Eileen was very welcoming and helpful on things to see in the area. It was easily a 12 out of 10!

About the host

We are both retired teachers. We love hiking, reading, gardening , travelling, and being with people.

Why they chose this property

We live nearby and love the property.

What makes this property unique

The property is set by itself on a hill within a small fishing village , but very close to the St. John's metropolitan area. The wraparound deck is a wonderful place to sit, watch the sun on the ocean and have morning coffee, or to have an evening beverage and barbecue while watching for Icebergs, whales, and the coming and going of fishing boats.
Walk from here to the point of land called The Beamer and look in wonder at the vista around you, truly magical. Red Head Cove and Stiles Cove are also easily reached from Dawnview.
This property appeals to all ages, but it is especially perfect for families because of the outdoor space for exploring on foot. Just ten minutes walk away there is a small river with waterfalls with swimming holes which flows through to a gorgeous river valley to the ocean. The whole area is so pretty that you will want to take lots of pictures!
