What a lovely stay. Convenient location - be sure to check out Some Good Market. Hosts were wonderful and generous. Kitchen has everything you could ask for and it was fun to have boardgames on hand for our family.

This was a lovely, early 1900s saltbox house that has just the right balance of modern convenience and rough around the edges. Clean, well maintained, and a perfect base for us to explore Conception Bay North and Trinity Bay. Check in and communication with the owner was very smooth and we’d happily stay here again.

Quaint Salt Box Home Does the Trick

This home was in an ideal location to venture out to various sites. Everything you need for your stay was there. Although the stairway going upstairs was narrow, we were aware from other reviews about it. I am over 6’ tall so the double beds weren’t ideal but we still slept well. I was already aware of the double beds before we arrived. We only had our breakfasts there so we didn’t use the kitchen for our other meals. The owner, Jeff responded quickly to a question we had. We enjoyed our stay in Clarke’s Beach.

Great place for a couple or small family

Immaculately clean house with all the amenities needed. Lovely sun room, back deck and gazebo with views to the hillside. Great community to stay as a base for exploring the area.

We're glad the weather held and that you were able to enjoy the deck and the hibachi.
