Great location with a view to the water. Perfect for two couples. Both bedrooms have large ensuites and a window looking out to the harbour. Downstairs space includes separate living room, kitchen/dining room, laundry room and third bathroom. Sad when it was time to leave.

We enjoyed our home away from home. Great location, very clean! A little dated but charming. The kitchen working area was small but functional. The property felt more like a cozy cottage with the older furniture. Communication with Marie was excellent. She replied very quickly and was very helpful. My only issue with this VRBO property was the way the payment structure worked verses previous payments on other VRBO properties. The payments made don’t show up on the site. Separate outside company takes payment. This I found a bit confusing.

Very much enjoyed both the location and the venue. Great view, clean facilities, quaint traditional Newfoundland saltbox home. I felt check in time was a bit late, 4 pm, and check out a bit too early, 10 am. I realize this is convenient for the owner but not so much for the guests. The additional Virbo booking fee is a major turnoff, otherwise the rate is reasonable and competitive. There is a noise from the exhaust fan in the 2 bedroom unsuite. Caused by the wind but is annoying. Otherwise we were very pleased with this facility.

Quaint, clean and quiet. Not fancy, but we are not fancy. The property was clean, had a kitchen, clean bathrooms and was walkable to town.

We loved our stay at the Hillside Vacation Home. We had everything we could need, great location, comfortable beds, clean bathrooms and showers, and lovely decor. The pamphlets and pictures around the house were a nice addition. It was also great to be able to control the heat in each room separately. That allowed us to put on a little heat in the living room while leaving the other rooms unheated. A wonderful stay all around.

Small town appeal

Awesome home and location. The best part was talking with the owners, Winston and Wavey. Interacting with locals is the best part of this fabulous province. A guestbook would be nice. Otherwise, terrific stay! I have already recommended it to friends and family.

Newfoundland 1st time visitors

Older salt box home, but tastefully decorated. brought back memories of our grandparents home. Beds were comfortable,and bedrooms large. Lookout trail behind the property was a bonus. Great view of bay. Weather was HOT, for our 3 day stay, but breeze off of the ocean made living bearable. Could have used a few more utensils in kitchen, and a lobster boil pot, however they were minimal inconveniences. Make sure to take in the Twillingate/DWI dinner theatre
