Great Oceanfront Retreat

Everything was great! The house has the best view of the ocean. Within 30 minutes of arriving we saw Humpback whales swimming in the bay. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The bathroom was beautiful and had plenty of towels.

Great location and beautiful house. We watched whales and thousands of puffins from the deck every day. The section of East Coast trail than runs behind the house is excellent. Short drive to St. Johns. House was very clean. Strangely there are no electrical outlets in the bathroom. Would highly recommend.

What a beautiful place! Views were incredible. Property was wonderful. Big open living space with large windows with a spectacular view to the sea. Our family had an amazing time exploring the grounds, including the little pond. We had fun hiking a portion of the East Coast Trail that was literally at the end of the drive way and combing the nearby rock beach for starfish and sea urchins. Tore Cove was a quick drive to many local attractions and tours. We would definitely recommend this place to family and friends visiting the area.

Breathtaking, indeed, just as advertised. It's the perfect getaway from the rat race if you're looking for a break from humanity. Amazing views and off the beaten path -- which is a good thing. Great communication and response with the owners at all times. Would come back in a heartbeat.

Great Oceanfront Property

Fantastic location right on the ocean. Spectacular views! We saw Bluefin Tuna jumping in the bay just off the rocks. Nice cottage-like feel but with a fully upgraded and modern kitchen. Would book this place again for exploring St. John’s to Portuguese Cove

Perfect location!

This place is amazing! The view from the deck is incomparable, the house is lovely, with all the rooms on one level and completely accessible. There are lovely walking trails nearby, but it's just as enticing to sit in one of the Adirondack chairs on the deck and read and soak up the sun. A perfect getaway spot.

Amazing place. We’d love to stay here again.

This house is amazing! Tucked away in a secluded part of town, when you’re there you feel like you have the ocean to yourself. The grounds are huge and the views are fantastic. Modern kitchen with all the appliances, dishes, etc that you could need. Property is clean and owners were great to deal with. We’d definitely return.

I will never forget the view

This place has the most unbelievable views of the ocean and landscape. It was very comfortable for my family; a wonderful place to be no matter what the weather. We saw whales from the living room, and my daughters took a short walk and saw seals. The owners were incredibly kind and accommodating, as well as quick to answer our questions. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The house itself was beautiful - exposed wood, huge windows, and every amenity you could ask for. But best of all were the surroundings you could see from those windows: the ocean was right outside, as were the woods and walking trails. The view from the house was spectacular, and at night we all gazed for hours at the moonlight sparkling on the ocean.

Beautiful home and property

The property and home were wonderful and the views are gorgeous. The only issue we had was with the address. If you put it into GPS it will take you to another town. The property owner helped straighten things out, but I would suggest correcting the address to Back road, Tors Cove.
