Amazing
The ocean views from wrap around porch and in all rooms of the home are the best you can ask for. What a way to enjoy your cup of coffe in the morning and a glass of wine at night. Wow! Loved every second there!! Walking proximity to all shops is a major plus! Thank you Marie for giving people the opportunity to experience this tranquility in such a Devine place

Ocean view and comfortable
We loved this property and our stay. Especially the welcoming added touches like the bread. The rooms were well appointed and bedroom ensuites more than you would expect. The hosts were in touch and available when needed addressing our questions in a timely manner. The house was amazingly cool because of a large number of windows for airflow. It was a wonderful splurge for our 25 wedding anniversary trip.

Lovely spot in Twillingate
We were 2 couples who spent 2 nights at Skipper Tom’s. Great location. Perfect spot in town with a beautiful view, right across from the water, walking distance to shops and restaurants. The house was as described. Comfortable beds, porch to enjoy the view, a lovely spot in Twillingate.

Great spot to explore Twillingate area
Stayed a couple of nights in this very well equipped and comfortable house. Great central location in Twillongate with lovely views across to the water. Quiet and perfect for two couples with large bedrooms each with an en-suite bathroom. Hosts were very helpful as well.

Excellent location
The only suggestion I have is that the kitchen exhaust fan needs to be vented to the exterior. Cooking smells occasionally permeated the interior.

Twillingate gem
We stayed for a week early August and absolutely loved the place and location. The house itself is adorable and retaining its historical charm with modern amenities. Spotlessly clean, spacious, very comfortable (especially the beds)! We felt right at home, and especially loved the daily visits from the neighbourhood cat Taz - what a doll! Close to the water and several hiking trails - we did a trail everyday. Did a whale watching boat tour (Ocean Quest), browsed local shops, visited Fargo Island and enjoyed a birthday dinner at Georgie’s. Wonderful vacation and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again!!

Lovely location!
The biggest problem was that we only could enjoy the property for one night. Simply not long enough to get comfortable and settle in to take in all that Twillingate offers. Hopefully we can return for a longer visit. It's a beautiful old property well looked after and clean.

Great House for two couples
The house was central to all the excursions, hiking and things we wanted to do. It had a great view. If you have trouble with stairs this might not be the place for you but otherwise everything was great. We highly recommend this house.

A dream cottage by the sea!
We had a wonderful experience in Twillingate. This beautiful cottage lived fully up to our expectations. The view from the veranda was picture perfect and the feline visitor made us feel right at home. Walk to all that Twillingate had to offer. We had a slight issue with the appliances but were able to work it through. All in all, a perfect visit.
