We had an absolutely wonderful stay - can't recommend this place enough! The hosts are exceptionally kind and have clearly put a lot of thought and care into making the property beautiful and welcoming, and the home has every amenity you could want. Communication and check-in were easy. The location is also superb - we were traveling without a vehicle and easily walked to the nearby grocery store, several great restaurants, the East Coast Trail, and the beach. For longer trips it was no trouble getting an Uber. In the evenings we enjoyed the beautiful, large deck and peaceful surroundings. Thank you for a great stay!

Our multi–generational family had a fantastic 5 nights at Tonia’s beautiful home. If you are looking for a quiet cozy sanctuary with easy access to stunning natural landscapes, walking trails and all of the many attractions of St. John’s, you will enjoy this gem. We all slept well, had plenty of space to settle in comfortably, and enjoyed the many thoughtful touches in every room. Tonia clearly put a lot of care into creating a truly relaxing vacation experience for her guests. We are so glad we visited! Thank you, Tonia.
