Clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated. Lots of info for local attractions available. Walking distance to great restaurants and interesting, historically significant buildings. Says sleeps 8 there are 3 bedrooms and an area with a futon . May be a better choice for 6 instead of 8 people.
The house was just as advertised. It was lovely, clean, and well stocked. Great location for side adventures and meals. Lots of homey touches and extras. The extra futon was very comfortable. Excellent communication with the hosts.

Thank you so much for your lovely review Theresa. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us, and Bonavista. Happy travelling!
What an ADORABLE house! view of water and beautiful sunsets. Perfect for a family of 4 (young adult kids) - to hang out, cook and flop to watch movies. A clean house tastefully finished and decorated as well as quality linens, comfortable beds and pillows. The property is close to a lot of tourist attractions, and local shops. We miss it already! We encountered a snag at the house, but host quickly arranged someone to pop by to address the issue same day.During our stay, the town was under a boil advisory which we were not aware of ahead of time - had to by jugs of water the next day. Just check before arriving. DEFFINATELY would visit again! We ALL loved our vacation in Bonavista, and felt sad to leave "our" cute red house.
