It was an awesome experience from day 1. The hosts were super helpful and always available when you need them. If the opportunity comes up we would definitely stay here again.

We can’t believe we had the opportunity to stay in this one-of-a-kind home! It was comfortable and relaxing inside and spectacular and exciting outside. Watching huge ships and small boats motor in and out of the harbour, being steps from the lighthouse and foghorn, looking up at Signal Hill just across the harbour…unforgettable!

The property is on a point of land that overlooks the ocean. Be aware that there can be fog there and the light house is right beside the property which adds to its charm. We had plenty fog and were serenaded by the fog horn. I enjoyed the horn, actually. It just becomes background sound even through the night. The fog is even a magical thing the way it moves! We also had beautiful sunny weather so stay for a few days to catch a variety of weather conditions. We enjoyed it all very much. The entry to the property is narrow so check in in the daylight to get your bearings. Beds were comfortable. Very clean.

I can’t imagine a more exquisite place to stay while visiting St John’s. The view of the harbor, boat traffic, the sea, gorgeous lighthouse, and the East Coast Trail a few feet from your door. The assistant lighthouse keeper’s home is spacious, clean, with comfortable beds and a full kitchen. Do bring ear plugs in case of fog-the fog horn is required when it is dense.
