Thank you so much Debbie for your 10/10 review. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at our oceanfront Cottage and we hope to host you again in the future.

Thank you for the wonderful review Karen! We are so glad The Saltbox was exactly what you hoped for. We love that you enjoyed our 1892 oceanfront Newfoundland saltbox in Bauline, the Conception Bay views, and the short drive to St. John’s. Thank you for noting that it is well equipped for a self-sufficient stay, and for the kind words about communication. We would be delighted to welcome you back. Warmly, Francine

Thank you so much for the fantastic 5-star review! We are delighted that your trip from Ontario was so seamless and that the Saltbox provided the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Watching whales, and the local fishing boats right from the deck is truly the magic of this location, and we're so glad you got to experience it firsthand! It is also wonderful to hear that you took full advantage of the two trailheads right at our doorstep, having rugged, world-class hiking paired with quick access to St. John's is exactly what makes this spot so special. Thank you for the high recommendation, and we would love to welcome you back to the Saltbox Cottage for your next coastal getaway!

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that you had a great experience during your stay in Newfoundland. We take great pride in ensuring our guests have a seamless, top-tier visit to the coast, and it’s incredibly rewarding to know we hit the mark for you. We would love to welcome you back to the Saltbox for another memorable ocean-side getaway in the future! Safe travels until then.

Thank you so much for the perfect 10/10 review! We are absolutely thrilled that the Saltbox provided such a magical experience for you and your grandchildren. It sounds like you truly maximized your stay—from catching the spectacular whale sightings right from the deck on day one, to hiking the big hill and enjoying fresh local cod and lobster. I designed the cottage with family versatility in mind, so knowing that three generations fully utilized the space, the games, and the fitness amenities is incredibly rewarding. Thank you for the high recommendation, and we would love to welcome your family back to our ocean-side sanctuary for more coastal adventures soon!

Bonnie thank you so much for this wonderful review. We are so happy you and your family were able to get away and enjoy some quality time together 😁 at the Saltbox Cottage. We hope you will return again in the future. Sincerely, Francine

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was a pleasure hosting your family and both 'grannies' this past July. We are thrilled that everyone, from the boys to the grandparents, found something to love, whether it was the whale watching or the local fishing culture. The Saltbox is designed to be a base for exactly those kinds of multi-generational memories, and we’re so glad the views lived up to expectations. We look forward to welcoming the whole crew back to Newfoundland soon!

Thank you so much Jeff for sharing your wonderful review. You certainly had great timing being able to enjoy the whales right in front of our cottage, it is a very unique and special opportunity 🐋. We also appreciate your comments about the decor, we have recently renovated the cottage to reflect a very modern, clean, bright space while keeping with East Coast charm. Thank you for acknowledging this as I’m sure many future guests will be looking for these special features in their East Coast vacation. We hope you will consider returning again in the future! Sincerely, Francine

Dear Frank and Louise, thank you so much for being such wonderful guests. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you for the month. We hope you will return again in the near future. Sincerely, Francine

Dear Marianne, I am the owner of the Saltbox and appreciate your very detailed review. It has always been our goal to maintain our 5/5 ranking and we find it very disappointing that you did not enjoy your stay. We have maintained an excellent reputation over the past 10 years welcoming guests from all over the world. I will address each of your concerns as we take this very seriously. 1. The prior home owners from your last stay sent you an overview on amenities, appliances etc. Each guests is sent our 10 page welcome letter that clearly outlines all amenities, opening/ closing procedures, area description, FAQ's etc. We ask that all guests read this very carefully and to bring it with them to refer to throughout their stay and ensure they feel welcome in our cottage. 2. You had some difficulty in opening the door. Our welcome letter clearly outlines how to lock and unlock our door. We have never had any guest face issues with this door as it is only 1 year old. We promptly sent our property manager to assist. 3. You had mentioned to us that your feet had become wet while walking from your car to the house. The distance between the parking area to the front door is approx. 20 feet. We apologize if you did become wet. Due to the front of the house being grass, along with heavy rain, occasionally feet could become wet. 4. Cold house. As defined in our welcome letter, we have baseboard heaters in every room that can be manually controlled. In the future, we will make sure that our property manager turns up the heat so that it is comfortable. 5. No Firewood. On the day of arrival, our property manager was not available and so we suggested that a 5 minute drive up the road would produce firewood as all local stores sell firewood. Moving forward, we will ensure that there is always a small starter pack of firewood for your comfort. 6. BBQ with no propane tank. We truly apologize for this inconvenience as our procedure is to always make sure there is 1 propane tank with a full back up. This was our error and will never occur again in the future. 7. Uncomfortable furniture on deck. We immediately replaced everything with 4 new Adirondack/ Muskoka chairs, new patio table and chairs. I am confident that all future guests will continue to enjoy our incredible view. I truly apologize that you did not experience an enjoyable vacation. We take all reviews very seriously and hope that our responses have clearly addressed all of your concerns.

Thank you so much Anne-Marie for your 10/10 review. Yes we have kept some of the beautiful historic features in this home while offering a modern, bright, clean renovated cottage. It’s one of the main features that most of our guests love…that they still get that historic East Coast vibe yet with all of the modern amenities to go along with it. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to host you again in the future. Sincerely Francine

Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for being such great guests! We hope to see you return soon. Sincerely, Francine

Thank you so much John for the wonderful review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and hope you will return again in the near future!! Sincerely, Francine
