The unit is clean, incredibly spacious, and very well appointed with everything you need: the main floor has a large foyer, a huge open dining nook/kitchen/family room area, a work desk, a laundry room, half bath and a huge deck to take in the views. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and a full bath with plenty of storage space.
The location is steps from the East Coast Trail and right over the water, so you can leave the window open at night to fall asleep to the sound of the waves.
There's a small general store a few minutes' walk away if you need any staples or beverages.
We stayed here for 2 weeks over Christmas- Amelia had a tree setup for us, and the harbour was all lit up... a truly special time.
Petty Harbour is a quiet fishing town with easy access to the Goulds for groceries, fuel & restaurants, and it's a short drive to Mt. Pearl for big-box stores or Downtown for all the touristy things on your list. St. John's has some amazing breweries that are worth a visit!
Be warned: if you're from out West, the village is quaint, the people are friendly, and the harbour & ocean view can be mesmerizing- you may find yourself staring at the water for an inordinate amount of time, contemplating why you would leave the harbour to return to work, traffic jams, and sky-high cost of living.
This place is a gem, we'd love to stay again!
