Absolutely loved this property. It is in a great location with a beautiful view of the water. Each of the 2 large bedrooms has an ensuite which was great. The wrap around deck was nice and a lively place to enjoy your breakfast on a Sunday morning. I wish we were there for more than just 2 nights.
Very clean, nicely decorated, love the big bathtub, hard to imagine a better location with regards to town and the ocean. Kitchen was very well stocked. Thanks so much!
We loved this home. Great location and was greeted by a little iceberg in the bay in front of our home. The homemade muffins were a nice touch. Highly recommend as well recommend ocean quest tours. Suggest you take a morning tour.
We were very impressed with the accommodations. Two master bedrooms with on suites were perfect.. Good sized kitchen, dining room and living room. Everything looked recently renovated and well maintained.
Stayed a couple of nights in this very well equipped and comfortable house. Great central location in Twillongate with lovely views across to the water. Quiet and perfect for two couples with large bedrooms each with an en-suite bathroom. Hosts were very helpful as well.
You couldn’t get a better spot in Twillingate than Skipper Tom’s. It was a luxurious, well appointed house in a quiet yet centrally located neighbourhood. We loved it!
We were 2 couples who spent 2 nights at Skipper Tom’s. Great location. Perfect spot in town with a beautiful view, right across from the water, walking distance to shops and restaurants. The house was as described. Comfortable beds, porch to enjoy the view, a lovely spot in Twillingate.
We loved this property and our stay. Especially the welcoming added touches like the bread. The rooms were well appointed and bedroom ensuites more than you would expect. The hosts were in touch and available when needed addressing our questions in a timely manner. The house was amazingly cool because of a large number of windows for airflow. It was a wonderful splurge for our 25 wedding anniversary trip.
House and location amazing! You could walk to much of what you required.....and nice to just get out and walk around and see some sights.....The home is so comfortable! Really well done, and cozy! Beds comfortable and kitchen easy to work in, deck is large to sit out and just enjoy! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! Highly recommend

Skipper Tom's was a breath of fresh air!
I loved sitting on the veranda and watching the boats go by and the ocean waves crashing against the shore line.
the scenery is beautiful !
the house - immaculate, serene and inviting
a nice surprise ... fresh baked bread waited for us !!!!
also .. there was coffee, tea and other thoughtful items.
highly recommend Skipper Tom's
The ocean views from wrap around porch and in all rooms of the home are the best you can ask for. What a way to enjoy your cup of coffe in the morning and a glass of wine at night. Wow! Loved every second there!! Walking proximity to all shops is a major plus! Thank you Marie for giving people the opportunity to experience this tranquility in such a Devine place
We stayed for a week early August and absolutely loved the place and location. The house itself is adorable and retaining its historical charm with modern amenities. Spotlessly clean, spacious, very comfortable (especially the beds)! We felt right at home, and especially loved the daily visits from the neighbourhood cat Taz - what a doll! Close to the water and several hiking trails - we did a trail everyday. Did a whale watching boat tour (Ocean Quest), browsed local shops, visited Fargo Island and enjoyed a birthday dinner at Georgie’s. Wonderful vacation and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again!!
Excellent place to stay! Beautiful view, great location, and comfy beds! Skipper Tom's has everything to make your stay enjoyable. Twillingate is a gem, with great restaurants, and great hikes.
A beautiful home that is bigger than the pictures show. A great location with beautiful viewsGreat communication I would definitely recommend this place
We had a wonderful stay with everything we needed and a very clean and comfortable place to return to. The location was wonderful! Walking distance to restaurants and entertainment.
