LUXURY WATERFRONT HOME in the amazing Outer Battery/foot of Signal Hill
The best location in the City! I tried to buy a house in the Battery for years and finally found this waterfront, 5 year old amazing Outer Battery home! 2 beds (and den used as additional child's room) and 2 baths over 1700 square feet and amazing location...Open plan up and views from all rooms. Two great decks. Feb 2016, Conde Nast Traveler called the Outer Battery Village one of " Most Beautiful Places in Canada...". They went on to say "...Sunny yellow, cherry red, turquoise blue—St. Johns’ pop-art-colored houses, collectively known as Jellybean Row, look especially awe-inspiring clustered in the cliffs of this atmosphere-drenched coastal neighborhood just outside downtown..." We are literally steps to the trail to walk up to Signal Hill National Park and have other walking trails along with close access to the Grand Concourse urban trail system. 5 minutes from downtown by car and 10 minutes by foot. It has a deck with panoramic views of the harbour and out to see.
This is the best location in the city and a great base from which to enjoy this amazing province!

This would be definitely one of the best hidden gems we have found! We absolutely loved this place: the view is breathtaking and the location couldn’t be better. Highly recommended stay! We’ll be back soon!
The property couldn't have been in a more beautiful place! To wake up every morning, open the door and be "on the water" at the mouth of St. John's harbor was AMAZING!Very clean, VERY well stocked in the kitchen. The bed was more comfortable than my own. We loved getting up and, being a very short walk from the trailhead, take the scenic trail up to Signal Hill. Wow!Thank you Pat for sharing your home with us!
This property is truly a piece of paradise right on the water. The host is incredibly kind and understanding and we wanted for nothing. Strongly encourage you to visit this property. Just also advise that you be very mobile, as there are several hills when you are out walking. We all just loved staying here!
This property has beautiful on the water views and is great for hiking. The accommodation has everything you would need for a very comfortable place to stay.
We had a terrific stay at this cottage. It was well-equipped and was located in a wonderful location. It was hot during at stay in St John’s but the ocean breezes cooled us while we sat on the deck. Highly recommended!
we really enjoyed staying here. just sitting out on the deck and watching the Harbour was great. walk to town didnt take long. the place was very clean and had everything you would need.we felt we couldn't have picked a better place to enjoy our time in st.johns.

Might just be the most beautiful rental in St. John's. On the harbour. Boast and harbour lights.
Very comfortable living room dining room and kitchen for our group of 4 and our 4 guests for thanksgiving dinner. Would totally love to stay there again.
This property is fantastic. The view of the harbour and many cruise and other ships is amazing! All four of us loved everything about this place and would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to St. John’s!
This is very comfortable accommodation in an historic location with fabulous views of the St. John’s harbour. Well appointed, charming house close to Signal Hill, Quidi Vidi and downtown. Very friendly neighbors. We enjoyed our stay here.
Great location with wonderful decks and ocean view!
Roomy, clean and very comfortable home right on the water with dinning and lounging views of the harbour. Close to downtown and walking paths. An excellent experience of life in St. John's!
Well equipped house with an excellent view of the harbour. If you are renting a car, make sure you book a small to midsize vehicle, parking is interesting!
This was an excellent location if you’re looking for some waterfront relaxation with a short albeit hilly walk to St.Johns. Great location for some spectacular hiking as well. We are hoping to come back again. Everything was perfect. :)
Great place to stay. Clean and comfortable. Great view of St.Johns Harbour, day and night. Great view from main floor entertaining area and from the bedrooms. We will definitely be back. Thanks.
When we entered the property we were thrilled with the cosy clean feel of the home. We stayed 8 nights and enjoyed it thoroughly. Water views from every angle. The home is very well equipped and the pics do not do this place justice. Its paradise. Only bit of stress was getting the car in and out of the area for a small stretch that is only one lane. Parking was no issue. Highly recommend this property.
Amazing experience steeped in history surrounded by unbeatable views
This property is amazing! Unbeatable views steeped in history surrounded by beautiful people/neighbours. Can't beat the position; the home is so well equipped and super comfortable you need for nothing. Parking and driving the narrow lanes was an experience but everyone was patient. Loved watching all the passing vessels go by.
Really feel that this was our best experience of St. Johns. Thank you Patricia
This little gem on the Outer Battery provided an oasis from busy downtown St. John’s. On the path to Signal hill, a hiker’s dream. A 14 minute walk to Water and Duckworth. Relax in the deck and watch the ships sail through the Narrows aon their way to the Harbour.
Well equipped kitchen, spacious and bright.
