Scenic - Harbourview Haven
Right on Water Street within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Can be noisy due to traffic- light sleepers may have an issue if they also turn in early. Noise settles eventually. The host was helpful in assisting with this issue by providing a fan for white noise. I would stay here again- super clean and close to many tourist attractions.

Beautiful Restored Downtown home
Great stay! Very beautiful view from the back deck!

Cozy & Modern Guest Suite with Free Parking
We found the apartment very comfortable especially the furniture. It was very clean. I especially liked the serene view. I didn’t find the iron till we were leaving but I found out hanging your clothes in the bathroom, the steam really will de wrinkle your clothes. I would recommend Faith’s place.

Seal Cove B&B - Ocean Front Apartment - CBS
When us five ladies opened the door we were blown away by the lovely modern accommodations. Great quality beds, linens, towels, and lots of extra amenities. Everything was very tastefully done. Highly recommend this as an excellent place to stay.😁😁😁

The Seahorse - A Seaside Suite
Excellent space, fantastic host, easy to deal with and location was perfect!

Flatrock Ocean View Apartment
A serene and picturesque location that embodies the beauty, essence, and culture of the Maritimes. This charming home evokes the image of Northern Ontario transformed by the waters of Lake Simcoe and the Trent-Severn Waterway. The community embodies the foundation of this province and its relationship with Ontario, showcasing values of community, minimalism, and a deep appreciation for our cultural heritage. A gem in an ocean of pristine beauty, it deserves our cherished attention. Thank you for reminding me of the abundance of sea, lakes, and rivers that sustain our nation and this beautiful province.

South Beach Residences - Holloway Suite
Perfectly located close to signal hill and all the restos downtown. Place is superbly clean and spacious. It has all the needed amenities for comfort away from home. Check in and out was super simple and Joy was easy to reach for anything. I particularly enjoyed the very modern vibe of the place. Only downside is perhaps the lack of views but there is ample light coming into the place. Will definitely stay again on next visit.

Bright Downstairs River View
Amazing place to stay in St. John’s. Quiet and private, yet only a 20-minute walk from the city center. It’s perfect for anyone who’s looking for a peaceful base to explore the city. Highly recommend!

The Seagulls Nest in the Battery
This place was absolutely stunning! Elias greeted us upon arrival and was so incredibly welcoming and friendly! I can’t say enough good things about him. The place had everything we needed and then some! The balcony has a beautiful view and the downtown area is walkable from this place. Would 100% return again!

Ocean View Property in beautiful Portugal Cove.
Our first visit to Newfoundland and the Portugal Cove property did not disappoint. The views are stunning, from almost every room in the house. Derrick and Rachel are lovely responsive hosts. When we inquired about whether binoculars were available, they replied they were not, but had acquired and set up binoculars on a tripod for our visit. We arrived quite late and appreciated the basket of goodies and fully stocked Keurig coffee that we could use first thing in the morning. The bed linens were all very soft and cozy and we felt at home the second we stepped in the door. This place is a gem and in such a great location - close to St John’s

Haven
Great spot in Petty Harbour. Gorgeous views from the home and spacious deck for watching the boats for fishing come and go. Very spacious with three bedrooms with queen sized beds and well thought out kitchen supplies. Lots of coffee, tea, sugar and coffee whitener for your morning fix! Would definitely stay here again if back in the area.

Traditional Outer Battery Home w/ Amazing Views!
This little cottage in the Outer Battery was phenomenal! It had all the amenities and was a cozy place to stay for short or long term. We were there for 6 days and it was great. The AirBnb is a 25-30min to heart of downtown St Johns and only a 15min drive to the airport. We also recommend checking out the Battery Cafe that is a 5min walk from the cottage. Highly recommended AirBnb for those who want to stay close to St. John’s but still wish to enjoy the quiet-side of the city. The north head trail that leads to Signal Hill is just right outside the door of the cottage as well!

House with king size comforts!
Rose's place felt like coming home. It had everything we needed and more and was very cozy and comfortable. We had a great time visiting St. John's and look forward to coming back.

Battery-Signal Hill Park. Breathtaking Views!
Absolute fantastic - thanks so much to Ken! Beautiful space, loved the east coast decor, and the view was incredible. Highly recommend.

Ray and Launa's two-bedroom view in Petty Harbour
Upon arrival, the place was clean and felt like home! The view from the deck was absolutely amazing, despite the 30-something stairs uphill (but we got some exercise in!). The house itself was cozy and felt inviting and there were lots of little things Josh included which was nice. It was a beautiful place to stay and a lovely community to walk around and speak to locals.

The Battery Village - Signal Hill, St. John's
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place!!!! The house was perfect! Sharon has thought of everything! Her home is immaculate, peaceful, beautifully decorated. The beds were perfect. The linen was exceptional. The perfect home for a family or for friends and in the most magical location. We even got to chat to a couple of neighbours who were wonderful Randy being one of them. We watched the harbour traffic from the living room each am and pm. Trails accessible, cafe close by and we were able to walk everywhere. Thank you, Sharon for being such a great communicator! I cannot wait to return!
