Very easy house to live in. This was our 2nd year in a row. Fantastic view of signal hill, cabot tower, the atlantic ocean, St Johns itself, and all the while watching the boats and activities in the harbour. Terrific stay. Highly recommend.

Unbelievable view. Checked all our boxes. Lighthouse, comfortable beds, stunning views, fog horn, and so much more!Clean with everything you need. Close to downtown. If you are going to St. John’s, Fort Amherst is the place to stay for the Newfoundland Experience!!! We will definitely be back! The hosts are so attentive and there for whatever you need. Thank you sooooo much!!!
