On the Rocks Overlooking the Sea

Summary:
A perfect base for exploring Twillingate, this family and pet-friendly home is perched on the rocks overlooking Twillingate Harbour. Centrally located, you'll be able to walk directly onto beautiful hiking trails from your backyard or walk to nearby attractions, restaurants, shops and bars in the heart of Twillingate.

The Neighborhood:
On the Rocks is very centrally located in Twillingate. You can walk to many of the local attractions, shops and restaurants. From the back door you can walk to an area the locals refer to as Smith's lookout (cross on hill) overlooking the ocean and all of Twillingate or down to beautiful Snellings Cove where you can explore the beach and endless fields of berries.

Getting Around:
On the Rocks is up a fairly steep hill. If you do plan on walking, this is something to keep in mind.

Other Things to Note:

Fantastic house for the five of us adults. Well appointed kitchen, great views out the front window, comfortable beds, even a nice hike up the hill with even broader view of town and coastline. Very enjoyable town to stay in, with great hikes and evening entertainment.

Two minor issues - as hsrd as we tried, we could not get the TV to work. And the second bathroom was in the basement which was basically inaccessible to anyone taller than 5 feet. Apart from that, its a nice property in a great location.

The house sits up a hill and offers a stunning view of the harbour. As well, you can go up the hill behind the house for gorgeous sunset views! We were only there one night for this trip but could have stayed there much longer. The house is clean, roomy and well-appointed. We loved that we could walk to several great restaurants and shops that were part of a welcome package we received as part of our booking. It was very helpful and informative on things to do in the area. We booked our iceberg tour through their recommendation and loved it...

Great views of Twillingate. Easy access to restaurants and iceberg tours. The house was very clean and had local art work. Near a nice hiking trail to the cross monument to town members lost at sea. Lovely flowers around the yard in summer.

What an awesome property! Beautiful views of the Twillingate Harbour and we enjoyed a small hike up the hill to watch the sunset. We could also see a small iceberg in the distance. Made our trip! Thank you!

A quick but wonderful stay

We really enjoyed staying in this home while visiting Twillingate. It offered a wonderful view of the town and harbour. it was very well kept and comfortable. Since my wife and I were travelling with two friends they each had their own bedroom and there were two bathrooms, which made morning preparation before our boat excursion possible.

Nice Home and Great Location !

Communication with the host was great from time of booking and throughout our stay. House is in a great central location. Beds are comfortable. Living room is cozy with a nice view. Sitting outside in the chairs on a hot day with the view is also really nice. This house has everything you will need for your stay!

Amazing Spot!

From the initial booking phase through to check out, our experience at On the Rocks Overlooking the Sea was seamless. Our host was so easy to communicate with, answered all our questions, and was so helpful. The house is exactly as advertised … the views were spectacular! The house was clean, well appointed, and offered all the comforts of home. Walkable distance to restaurants, tours, and shops. We would stay there again!
