About this property

The BEST in the BIGHT...LOCATION & LUXURY!!

Perched atop its seafront bluff on Trinity Harbour, Commander's Keep showcases 225 degree vistas of the Harbour, Skerwink Cliffs, Lighthouse at Fort Point, and the Atlantic Ocean beyond!
This beautifully maintained, immaculate “saltbox style” home has a traditional feel, yet with every modern convenience and comfort one could wish for!

From the huge wrap-around deck outside, and from every room of this authentically constructed traditional Newfoundland home, our oceanfront location affords some of the most striking scenery and breathtaking ocean views and rugged coastline that Newfoundland has to offer!
From the deck, one also has views of the town of Trinity with Gun Hill as the backdrop. Every room in the house has two or more windows which catch the ocean breezes off the water, keeping the house continually refreshed.

The main floor INTERIOR is open-concept style, with the only enclosed space on the ground floor being the large spa-like bathroom with laundry facilities hidden by curtains.
The gourmet kitchen is any chef’s dreamworld, fully equipped with cookery and utensils and, as a bonus, great views and super sound system to cook by!
The natural wood walls, pine floors, and 9’ beamed ceilings along with the double sided wood-burning fireplace completes the ambiance in the two storey high “inglenook” / great room!
Main level also has a home theatre system, and free secure WiFi and local telephone service. A private assortment of Books, board and card games, and DVDs are there on the shelves for your enjoyment.

Three bedrooms, a full bathroom and an ensuite are located on the second floor. Each bedrooms bedroom has terrific views of the Town, the Harbour, and the ocean beyond.

THE BEST LUXURY In TRINITY BIGHT
Private location, yet in walking distance to the village shops, art galleries, museums, and restaurants!
Central location on the Bonavista Peninsula enables our guests to make any number of day trips to explore the Peninsula right to its northern tip, and then return to this private cocoon for relaxation in the two-person soaker tub, curling up in front of the fireplace, or having a glass of wine on the deck at sunset.
Fluffy robes, plush towels, and luxury linens on pillow-top mattresses make a perfect end to the day!
The sea side of the house consists of full length windows, giving the feeling of being enveloped by the coastal grandeur.
from the second floor rooms, looking out over the water, one can even have the sensation of being 'at sea'. Our oceanfront location affords particularly panoramic views where you can witness spectacular sunsets and unforgettable magenta sunrises.
At the base of our cliff, at the water's edge, there are two private pebble beaches that are exposed at low tide. Though too cold to swim without a wet suit, it is a grand place to explore: shelling, looking in tide pools, seeking star fish in the shallow water, or just sitting quietly looking out over this ocean Harbour.
Removable junior bed rails for on twin beds are available if requested.
At the ocean’s low tide, two Private Pebble beaches at the shoreline of our property offer incredible “finds” to tuck away as momentous of your visit.

Absolutely beautiful !
This house was absolutely amazing! The property manager , owners and others were beyond communicative and amazing. The lot is stunning and perfectly nestled in a meadow overlooking the sea harbor where you can no doubt see whales! House has everything you need and more including welcome chocolates from the villages local chocolate and coffee store. The location is superb as you can walk anywhere. I would recommend 10/10

Amazing home, location and views!
I wish we would have booked this home for much longer than what we did. The town is quaint and rich in history, all stores within walking distance. The views from the home can’t be beat. Cliffside, lighthouse and ocean views. We got alot of hiking done (Bonavista Lighthouse, Dungeons Park, Skerwink, Gun Hill, Spillars, Puffin Island and Forte Point Lighthouse). We actually did Skerwink twice! Make sure to stop and eat at Fort Rexton Brewery at the end of the trail and Oh My Cheese sanwhiches were the best I’ve ever had. Home was clean and beautiful. Footpath around village was wonderful. Would recommend without reservation!

I cannot say enough how Magical this home is . It doesn’t matter the weather either. You feel every breath of earth and Gods wonderful creations. The water, waves, birds, flowers, moon, stars, and we even enjoyed the rain and light house fog horn blowing. What a treat for us. I can’t say thank you enough to the owners and to the keepers .I pray , God willing , we can come back next year and once again stay in this beautiful home in this wonderful community of Trinity!

About the host

Hosted by Catherine & David

Host profile image
A true “Come-From-Away” couple who, on their first time to Newfoundland, fell in love with these wonderful Newfoundlander people... with their lovely lifestyle, huge hearts, hearty humour, and magical music!
Quite atypically for us, within a week of staying and exploring Trinity and “The Bight”, we bought our land in 2008, had our home designed by a talented architect, Frank Lapointe (born and bred in Trinity East), and in 2010 it was built by a Dunfield master contractor, Alf Bellows....and as they say, “the rest is history”...

Why they chose this property

This property, so another vacation home host told us when the house was completed, has “one of the TOP FIVE VIEWS in all of Newfoundland”!!
Who could argue that? Not us, and none of our past guests over the past ten years!
We all agreed!!

What makes this property unique

The special breezes every day, the spectacular views surrounding the house from every vantage point, the private and serene moments experienced from inside, snuggled up by a cozy fire, or outside overlooking the cliff (watching seagulls fly past you BELOW where you sit up so high!
Picking berries in the Fall... seeing the whales and hearing them ”blow” near the lighthouse across the harbour from our deck on June evenings... and the starry starry nights in the summer, where the harbour waters sparkle in the darkness!!
