10/10 Excellent
"The little orange house by the sea was so much more than a place to stay—it became one of our favorite parts of Newfoundland. Waking up to the sound of the Atlantic, enjoying slow mornings with coffee overlooking the water, and ending each day with breathtaking sunsets made it feel like time stood still. It was cozy, peaceful, and full of charm, giving our family the perfect place to relax, reconnect, and soak in the beauty of the island. Leaving was the hardest part.Amazing hosts"

"This is a cute little cabin in a remote fishing community. It’s big enough for 2 people but really not any more. You are right on the ocean and can see sea birds from out the windows. It was clean and cozy and we enjoyed the two days that we spent there. BUT - I wish we had known that you couldn’t flush toilet paper because of the septic. That was a bit of a shock and I think it needs to be a part of the property description."
