About this property

The Mayo Cottage - Ocean-view Newfoundland

Discover peace and privacy at the Mayo Cottage, a newly built open-concept retreat with stunning ocean views. Perfectly located near the historic, and must see towns of Trinity and Bonavista and just 2.5 hours from St John's. Perched in a peaceful and private setting, this cozy two-bedroom retreat offers sweeping ocean views from nearly every corner of the home. With no neighbours in sight, it's the perfect place to truly unwind and take in the natural beauty of Newfoundland. World-class whale watching, iceberg sight seeing, hiking or paddling can all be done in this area.

The space features two comfortable bedrooms, each with a queen bed, making it ideal for couples, friends, or a small family. The open-concept kitchen and living area is bright and inviting, with large windows that flood the space with natural light and frame stunning views of the ocean. Whether you're cooking, relaxing, or enjoying your morning coffee, the scenery is always front and centre.

A dedicated reading and office nook provides a quiet spot to work remotely or curl up with a good book while overlooking the water. Step outside onto the expansive deck to fully experience the setting - perfect for morning coffees, evening drinks, or simply soaking in the fresh ocean air and uninterrupted views.

Despite its secluded feel, the property is ideally located close to popular local attractions, scenic trails, and charming coastal communities, giving you the best of both privacy and convenience.

CHECKING IN: Welcome! key is in the lock box to the right of the door at the driveway entrance. Open the shutter, there is a simple combination lock, dial in the CODE: 2285. Depress the small black lever and the compartment will open. Remove the key. The brass coloured key opens the main door and the nickel coloured key opens the door off the top deck. Please return the keys to the compartment when you check out.

CHECKING OUT: Turn off everything, round up all dirty towels and start a load of them in the washing machine. This really helps our cleaner that travels a distance to change over the cottage and has very limited window of time. We greatly appreciate it. Bag up all garbage in a big black bag and put it in the garbage pick-up box at the top of the second driveway. Lock up and return the keys to the lock box. Message me once you have left the cottage.
