Best Kind on Boncloddy

Welcome to Best Kind on Boncloddy — where every corner has a story, every wall has a pop of colour, and every stay feels like it should come with its own postcard.
Set right in the heart of St. John’s, this is not your cookie-cutter vacation rental. Think jellybean rowhouse vibes with a twist — our twist just happens to involve custom artwork (handmade by the owner), cheeky little details you’ll spot when you least expect it, and a design style that can’t decide between “clean lines” and “maritime maximalist,” so it went with both.
This is the perfect home base whether you’re here to:
Chase adventure on the coast or trails.
Dive into city life with live music, cafes, and colourful streets.
Hunker down with a good book, a mug of something warm, and the sound of gulls outside.
From the moment you step in, the place is meant to make you smile — and probably reach for your phone to take photos. It’s fresh, it’s full of character, and it’s absolutely ready for you.
The Space
Best Kind on Boncloddy is a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath beauty spread across two floors, giving you all the room you need to spread out (and then gather back together again).
Highlights:
Three stylish bedrooms — all designed for rest and a little “ooh, I like that” when you first walk in.
Two full bathrooms plus a powder room — because mornings go smoother when nobody’s standing in line.
A living room made for lounging — comfy seating, fun art, and just enough nautical nods to remind you you’re in Newfoundland.
A kitchen that’s equal parts practical and Pinterest-worthy — perfect whether you’re whipping up breakfast before exploring or staying in for a seafood feast.
A dining area that can host everything from celebratory dinners to board game nights.
Outdoor space with a gazebo for al fresco dining — because even a drizzle feels romantic when you’re covered and cosy.
We’ve filled the home with thoughtful touches:
Local art and handmade pieces so you feel a real sense of place.
Quality linens and bedding that make it hard to get up in the morning.
Reliable Wi-Fi for work, streaming, or mapping tomorrow’s adventures.
The Neighbourhood
Boncloddy Street sits in a pocket of downtown St. John’s where history, colour, and a lively sense of community all mingle together.
Step outside and you’re minutes from:
Jellybean rowhouses — stroll with your camera and capture that quintessential St. John’s look.
George Street — famous for having the most bars per square foot in North America, and a live music scene that keeps things buzzing year-round.
The harbourfront — with its fishing boats, sea air, and those big-sky views you won’t forget.
Independent cafes and restaurants — whether you’re craving buttery cod tongues, fish and chips, or an oat-milk latte, you’ll find it close by.
Shops and galleries — from locally made crafts to contemporary art.
You’ll also be just a quick drive or walk to some of the city’s iconic spots: Signal Hill, The Rooms museum, Quidi Vidi Village, and trails that put you right on the edge of the Atlantic.
