About this property

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!

Once in a lifetime experience of St. John's!

Our stay at Patricia's Luxury Waterfront Home at the bottom of Signal Hill more than exceeded our expectations! The two decks were the most amazing place to sit and relax in the morning / evening with full panoramic views of the harbour & inlet which can also be seen and enjoyed from the bright & clean upstairs kitchen & family room. The kitchen is well stocked with coffee & tea plus all the pots and pans you might need for cooking. The two bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with waterfront views. (Our kids, ages 9 & 10, found the 3rd bedroom/den a little claustrophobic and opted to share the 2nd bedroom.) As others remarked, the street access to the house and driveway are VERY narrow - I wouldn't suggest arriving in the dark as it could be a real challenge. The location is perfect if you also enjoy hiking up Signal Hill to take in the breathtaking views along the coast. Thank you Patricia for being such a gracious host - we hope to come back again!

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.

A wonderful vacation cottage

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 did not make it to Newfoundland! Nobody stayed!

Unfortunately we didn't make it to your property. Our flight from Waterloo International airport was about to land in st.johns when he decided it was too foggy and flew us back to Waterloo. 12 hours on a plane to end up right back where we started. We lost our transportation also, no cars to be found on the island to rent. I reached out to VRBO try and cancel our stay but I have not received a response Some sort of refund would be nice as we never even entered said property. Yours truly, Christine

Home In The Battery

Wonderful home right on the waterfront! This is a terrific place to stay in St. Johns were you can see both downtown St.Johns and the open ocean from the same spot. Lot's of windows and natural light in the design of the home which make your views that much more enjoyable. You can easily walk up and down Signal Hill as it is practically beside it. Highly recommend.

A weekend in the Battery

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. :)

Beautiful place in a beautiful location

We loved walking into St. John’s and up to signal hill but mostly just loved the view of the harbour from the whole place and both decks! The boats were so interesting to watch coming in and out! We didn’t want to leave this place!

Seniors Enjoying Harbour View from our 2 Decks

Our VRBO rental was an exceptional new home situated on the Harbour. From the 2 decks, you can watch fishing boats, cruise ships, Oceanex Ships, and sailing boats. Situated on the famous Signal Hill Trail. The house is outstanding!! With updated black washer and dryer (a beauty to use). Seagulls hatching on the rocks below. Owner and cleaners readily available for any question. Neighbours Ches and Flo truly the real Newfoundlanders.

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

Look no further!

We just had a wonderful 4 night stay at this waterfront property. The location and amenities can’t be beat. It’s easy to get to from the airport; it’s at the start of the most popular hike in St. John’s and also easy to walk to downtown. Small parking space for your rental car. The house is VERY well stocked with everything we could have needed. This property and it’s owner offer amazing value for money and we would not hesitate to stay again. Thanks for everything!

Stay here if you are looking for a rental in the Battery! The house is gorgeous the pictures do not do it justice. A fully equipped home it had everything we needed. We didn't rent a car we took Jiffy taxi (highly recommend). Lots of hills but if I can do it anyone can🙂 within walking distances of restaurants, Vu and the Fish Exchange were our favorites. Thanks Patricia❤️
