Waterfront apartment accommodation

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 Mooring | Ocean Vw | 3B | Coastal Experience
Really a well appointed and beautiful place. Right on the water and access to the Trailway for walking/biking. Hosts were responsive and kind. The house is as described and the decor is wonderful. We walked in and felt at home right away. 30 minutes from St. John's, but don't miss out on the CBS and Holyrood areas. Absolutely recommend and will be back.

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.

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!

Iconic Battery Home w/ the Best Views in the City!
Lovely spot. Morning coffee watching the boats come in and out of the harbour was so peaceful. Super close to a fantastic signal hill hiking trail. Views were stunning

Seagull Rock Cottage at The Battery, Signal Hill
The home was so nice, we can’t wait to go back! There was a full bath upstairs and a half bath downstairs, just right for our family of five. The bedrooms were comfortable. The living room was nice, and we cooked a meal in the kitchen every day and sat around the dining room table. It was nice to go out on the deck, awesome to walk out the front door to hike up Signal Hill. Stay here, you won’t regret it!
