About this property

LUXURY WATERFRONT HOME in the amazing Outer Battery/foot of Signal Hill

The best location in the City! I tried to buy a house in the Battery for years and finally found this waterfront, 5 year old amazing Outer Battery home! 2 beds (and den used as additional child's room) and 2 baths over 1700 square feet and amazing location...Open plan up and views from all rooms. Two great decks.
Feb 2016, Conde Nast Traveler called the Outer Battery Village one of " Most Beautiful Places in Canada...". They went on to say "...Sunny yellow, cherry red, turquoise blue—St. Johns’ pop-art-colored houses, collectively known as Jellybean Row, look especially awe-inspiring clustered in the cliffs of this atmosphere-drenched coastal neighborhood just outside downtown..."
We are literally steps to the trail to walk up to Signal Hill National Park and have other walking trails along with close access to the Grand Concourse urban trail system. 5 minutes from downtown by car and 10 minutes by foot. It has a deck with panoramic views of the harbour and out to see.

This is the best location in the city and a great base from which to enjoy this amazing province!

Parafise by the Water

This property is truly a piece of paradise right on the water. The host is incredibly kind and understanding and we wanted for nothing. Strongly encourage you to visit this property. Just also advise that you be very mobile, as there are several hills when you are out walking. We all just loved staying here!

Might just be the most beautiful rental in St. John's. On the harbour. Boast and harbour lights.

Very comfortable living room dining room and kitchen for our group of 4 and our 4 guests for thanksgiving dinner. Would totally love to stay there again.

Amazing experience steeped in history surrounded by unbeatable views

This property is amazing! Unbeatable views steeped in history surrounded by beautiful people/neighbours. Can't beat the position; the home is so well equipped and super comfortable you need for nothing. Parking and driving the narrow lanes was an experience but everyone was patient. Loved watching all the passing vessels go by. Really feel that this was our best experience of St. Johns. Thank you Patricia

Look no further!

We just had a wonderful 4 night stay at this waterfront property. The location and amenities can’t be beat. It’s easy to get to from the airport; it’s at the start of the most popular hike in St. John’s and also easy to walk to downtown. Small parking space for your rental car. The house is VERY well stocked with everything we could have needed. This property and it’s owner offer amazing value for money and we would not hesitate to stay again. Thanks for everything!

We did not make it to Newfoundland! Nobody stayed!

Unfortunately we didn't make it to your property. Our flight from Waterloo International airport was about to land in st.johns when he decided it was too foggy and flew us back to Waterloo. 12 hours on a plane to end up right back where we started. We lost our transportation also, no cars to be found on the island to rent. I reached out to VRBO try and cancel our stay but I have not received a response Some sort of refund would be nice as we never even entered said property. Yours truly, Christine

The place is great and the pictures don't do the views justice. You have 180 degree views of the harbor from the kitchen out to the deck.As noted, parking is tight. It's easy, but hilly, walk into town.

Unser Haus lag direkt am natürlichen Hafen und hatte zwei schöne Terrassen, die direkt am Wasser lagen. Was wir nicht bedachten, dass im Hafen auch nachts Ladung gelöscht wird und es dann sehr laut werden kann. Das Appartement lag zudem sehr zentral, so dass man alle Sehenswürdigkeiten gut zu Fuß erreichen konnte. Es war gut ausgestattet. Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt. Allerdings hatte ein Schlafzimmer nur ein Doppelbett vonn1,20 m und das dritte Schlafzimmer war, da sehr eng und ohne Fenster, nicht nutzbar. Das sollte man bei der Buchung beachten.

I cycled across the country and staying at this home was like finding Shangri-La. It’s better than advertised. Mornings and evenings were spent on the patio overlooking the harbour watching ships go by and looking for whales. The dining table offered the same view. The shower was excellent (and much needed) and the two main bedrooms also looked out on the water and were great. The proximity to Signal Hill and its incredible hike (as judged by the popularity and steady stream of hikers) is an added bonus. Yes, the final bit of road is narrow and the parking is tight; some may find it a challenge but it was fine for me. Thanks for an awesome time!

The property couldn't have been in a more beautiful place! To wake up every morning, open the door and be "on the water" at the mouth of St. John's harbor was AMAZING!Very clean, VERY well stocked in the kitchen. The bed was more comfortable than my own. We loved getting up and, being a very short walk from the trailhead, take the scenic trail up to Signal Hill. Wow!Thank you Pat for sharing your home with us!

Once in a lifetime experience of St. John's!

Our stay at Patricia's Luxury Waterfront Home at the bottom of Signal Hill more than exceeded our expectations! The two decks were the most amazing place to sit and relax in the morning / evening with full panoramic views of the harbour & inlet which can also be seen and enjoyed from the bright & clean upstairs kitchen & family room. The kitchen is well stocked with coffee & tea plus all the pots and pans you might need for cooking. The two bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with waterfront views. (Our kids, ages 9 & 10, found the 3rd bedroom/den a little claustrophobic and opted to share the 2nd bedroom.) As others remarked, the street access to the house and driveway are VERY narrow - I wouldn't suggest arriving in the dark as it could be a real challenge. The location is perfect if you also enjoy hiking up Signal Hill to take in the breathtaking views along the coast. Thank you Patricia for being such a gracious host - we hope to come back again!
