Country home 20 min from city has an ocean view, bird feeders, & a whirlpool tub

Leave the accommodations to us! Our cozy, clean, duplex style, country home, is located Pouch Cove, Newfoundland, a small town with its roots in the fishing and farming industries. Our vacation home is surrounded by an abundance of natural landscapes and has amazing ocean views. Myself and my husband, a middle-aged couple, live in the second side of the duplex and, although respectful of privacy, are available when requested and do our utmost to ensure our guest’s holiday experience is filled with positive memories.

Visitors to our area are impressed by the lack of industrial noise and the pleasing fresh country air, beautiful views, and friendly residents. Also, because Pouch Cove is located just 20 minutes from the city, we are perfectly situated for guests to experience Newfoundland’s unique urban and rural cultures.

Our vacation home offers in-lane, parking immediately adjacent to the private front entrance. There are no other homes within direct contact to the home. Mature trees form boundaries along the distant perimeter of the property and flowering plants on the side border add distinction and color during the summer season. Just beyond the side border of property is a tall hill from which one can see amazing views of the horizon, ocean, shoreline, and a large portion of Pouch Cove.

Our vacation home has a huge, enclosed, 3 section, patio with an amazing ocean view. In the summer season, the patio is outfitted with a 4 burner, family sized, propane BBQ and an assortment of patio furniture.

The house’s interior is cozy and, although fully renovated within the past few years, captures the feeling of outport living. We have 2 bedrooms (one with a queen bed; the other a double) and a single pull out cot, enabling 5 guests to sleep comfortably. We are pet friendly for small, non-destructive, pets.

Furnishings inside the house include a washer, dryer, fridge, stove, microwave, countertop dishwasher, 4 slice toaster, Keurig and drip coffee machines, pots, pans, slow cooker, dinnerware, utensils, bar height table with 4 chairs, 2 full sized reclining sofas, an end table with accent lighting, 55-inch flat screen TV on an electric fireplace, and, in each of the two bedrooms, a double bed, 48-inch TV on electric fireplace base, and a computer table with 2 chairs. We have a whirlpool tub / shower. Cleaners, detergents, linen, shampoo, toilet tissue, and paper towels are included at no extra charge.

We subscribe to high speed wi-fi internet and a large assortment of cable television networks including many movie networks and Netflix.

For day trips and sight-seeing opportunities, there are two rugged hiking trails, part of the East Coast Trail, about 5 minutes in either direction from our home. Be sure to keep a watch for icebergs, whales, and ships, and other ocean attractions which, in season, are commonly seen in our coastal waters. Birdwatching enthusiasts will appreciate the many species of songbirds and ocean birds that make Pouch Cove their home. The migratory pattern of birds welcomes different species during different seasons of the year. Be sure to keep a well charged camera to capture the essence of your amazing, well-deserved, vacation. Breathe in fresh air and breathe out stress.

Beautiful, spacious and exceptionally equipped private space with a fantastic view off the large, enclosed deck. Excellent collection of local books and paintings/photographs. Sandra has prepared fantastic booklets of local attractions and a very user-friendly "house guide". We were traveling with 2 dogs and, over 16 days and ~7000 km, this was the most perfect location - for the dogs and for us. Hosts are the friendliest people you will meet and want nothing more than to improve your day. A wonderful experience that we hope to repeat.

Absolutely wonderful place and fabulous hosts!
We were so impressed with how welcoming the hosts, Sandra and Phil (and Bella) were. The property was amazing, located in a picturesque little coastal community. There was an amazing view and the home had everything we could have imagined - they thought of everything…so many wonderful touches. We will definitely return if we are ever back to Pouch Cove. Make sure you check the Murray Vacation Home out. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Sandra, Phil, and Bella!

Ocean view from my bed
Murray house is a tidy, cosy cottage with lots of creature comforts. We spent three nights here which was a perfect basecamp for touring the area and seen sites such as signal Hill, cape spear and St. John’s. The view from the house and deck is beautiful and taking a walk alone the shore path is the definite must! Phil and Sandra are wonderful hosts, and I would come back here in a heartbeat:)

Amazing house with a wonderful view!
Our stay at this cottage was such a beautiful experience! The landlord was also very friendly and generous. They provided mostly everything you expect and imagine. A stunning view on the Harbour from the patio, a very clean place and well taken care of, and not far away from town. I would highly recommend it and looking forward to book it in the near future. All the best to Sanadra and Phill. Othman
