What a great property! This property was beyond what we have experienced in past rentals. Definitely a home away from home. The decor was also charming. Loved it!

Had everything we needed and more. Weather was warmer than usual but there were plenty of fans to keep us comfortable. Great location, and can’t beat the view from the deck.

Beautiful property! The decorating was absolutely amazing. Worked out perfect for 2 couples, sitting out watching the freighters coming into the harbour was great and interesting. Location, location, location. I highly recommend this vacation spot. You will not be disappointed.

This property was wonderful, and so close to everything downtown, and hikes at Signal Hill. I was born in Nfld, and on this trip back, I brought my new husband, my son and daughter in law, and grandchildren. We loved waking up every morning, and enjoying the view of the harbor. Parking was crazy, but the neighbors kept us straight. Truly enjoyed everything. We will be back!

Near everything, but not in the midst of everything. A short walk and you were on Water Street for shopping, dining and drinking. A few more minutes and it's live music on George St. Turn the other direction and you're on the path up to Cabot Tower. Place was well outfitted and comfortable.

This property was truly special. Every detail in the decor was lovingly planned and resulted in a visually beautiful and functional space. The location provided stunning views of the harbour and the working vessels. Was within walking distance of downtown and also Signal Hill. As others have mentioned, parking is tight but it is manageable. Highly recommended.

We’ve never stayed at a cleaner nor better equipped and decorated place than salt & battery! The location was perfect for downtown access and scenic hill trails - with beautiful views of the St John’s harbour. Every detail of a comfortable stay is looked after - and Tracey was great to deal with. Highly recommend!!

We booked this property because of its layout and decor, and also it’s proximity to the Harbour, Signal Hill trails, and downtown St. John’s. Our expectations were met a thousand times over! The layout and decoration of the house was so appropriate for our family. Everyone had a space to do their thing, all the beds were really comfortable, the facilities were shiny and new, exactly as advertised. While there were things we wanted to do in St. John’s, we were just as happy hanging out in the house - it was SO comfortable and watching the harbour traffic was an endless source of enjoyment! We did enjoy proximity to trails and city, making for an easy vacation where we could just park the car and walk everywhere. Highly recommended destination - we will be back!

I stayed here the night before my wedding with my bridesmaids and the night of my wedding with my now husband. This house is BEAUTIFUL. It is spacious and welcoming. I had 8 girls get ready with hair and make up the morning of the wedding and it was a little chaotic but we had enough room to function. Parking was the biggest issue, but we made it work and it was worth it those harbour views!

A perfectly located gem of a home on the harbour. Immaculate and professionally decorated, this home away from home felt exactly like home to us. The fully outfitted kitchen included water bottles in the fridge, coffee, a nice assortment of teas (much appreciated), sugar and a great little welcome basket of snacks. The beds were comfortable and the linens were good quality. The bathrooms were fully stocked with supplies and an abundance of good towels. Location was perfect for walking downtown for restaurants and a trail leading up to Signal hill is a short walk from the house. Thanks for a truly great stay for 2 couples from away.

We loved our 10 night stay in St John’s and It was due largely to having a fantastic rental house to come home to every night! This upside down home gives you a beautiful view of the ship harbour and with its bright siding we could spot it from many locations in St. John’s . This home is decorated so beautifully and loaded with all the special touches in every room, comfy beds, beautiful linen ‘s and towels. The kitchen is a cooks dream if you want to cook on vacation every little touch has been thought of ! This has certainly been the best rental we have ever stayed in. Perfectly location on a quiet street close to Signal Hill and minutes to downtown and the highway. We had a great time !

great stay but no parking and no easy access for cars coming and going. Bedrooms in the basement with one having the air circulation on all the time. no TV channels for the news or sports.

Our stay at the Salt & Battery was our fifth of a two-week holiday in Newfoundland and it was the best. In fact, the S&B is the nicest rental I have ever stayed in, in any location. The unit was so beautifully decorated that it both inspired me and made me wonder how anyone could have put so much effort into such a stunning decor. Very comfortable, perfectly located, and the owners have thought of everything for travellers. We loved every minute of our two-night stay. Incredibly comfortable beds, with top-notch linens, a fully outfitted kitchen with nice touches like decaf Keurig and cold bottled water. The location is incredibly quiet and the view is hard to beat. The parking is a little challenging—but a local very kindly offered to turn out car around for us, so it worked out fine. I can't recommend this rental too highly. 10+/10!

The salt and battery by the sea exceeded my expectations. The house was beautiful and clean. Loved the patio. We also loved watching the boats as it was right next to the harbour. The house had everything you would ever need for a wonderful holiday. Paul and Tracey were very accessible when you had a question . They even had treats and cold water when we arrived and also coffee pods for the kerig. This place was amazing and we were so sad to leave. We would definitely stay there again when in the area.

Wir haben drei Nächte im Salt & Battery Ferienhaus verbracht und uns sehr zu Hause gefühlt. Das Ferienhaus ist mit viel Liebe eingerichtet und hat uns ausgesprochen gut gefallen! Darüber hinaus war es außergewöhnlich gut ausgestattet und hatte bequeme Betten. Die Aussicht auf den Hafen von St. John’s ist grandios und es ist ständig etwas los: Wir haben zwei Kreuzfahrtschiffe und mehrere Versorgungsschiffe an- und ablegen sehen. Auf der Terrasse und wenn die Fenster geöffnet sind, hört man die laufenden Schiffsgeneratoren deutlich; mit geschlossenen Fenstern ist es aber ruhig und wir konnten gut schlafen. Die Vermieter haben postwendend auf alle unsere Anfragen reagiert und inwaren ausgesprochen zuvorkommend. Wir würden gerne wiederkommen und hier erneut übernachten.

Great accommodation with a view of the harbor, just 10 minutes walk from the city center and Signal Hill. It's all there down to the smallest details. Strongly recommended! Magnifique logement avec une vue sur le port a seulement 10 minutes de marche du centre ville et de Signal Hill. Tout y est dans les moindres détails. Fortement recommandé!

We spent 9 days in this cozy, bright, and relaxing space. I can't say enough good about the house, the check-in process, all the small details and literally everything you could think of that you might need for your stay. Would highly recommend Salt and Battery to anyone and we will be staying here in the future. What a great spot

Nous avons eu un très beau séjour dans ce magnifique appartement confortable et fonctionnel. La vue sur le port est magnifique et nous olonge dans une belle ambiance. Les hôtes ont aussi laissé à notre disposition une foule d'équipements et darticles alimentaires ( huile, epices, etc.), ce qui a permis dutiliser la cuisine sans avoir à acheter plein de choses qu'il aurait fallu laisser derrière nous. Les propriétaires etaient sympathiques acceuillants, s'assurant que tout soit en ordre à notre arrivée. Un parc pour bébé et une chaise hautont aussi étaient mis à notre disposition. Bref, un sejour parfait dans un lieu parfait!

This property was perfect for walking to all of the attractions that St. John’s has to offer….the proximity to the harbour provides a beautiful view and lots of activity surrounding the ships in port…..staying in a house at the base of Signal Hill was a treat….the house is just as it appears in the photos and the hosts were attentive to all of our needs.

This place was the best Vrbo we have ever stayed at. The view of the harbour, the location relative to downtown, Signal Hill, and so much more was perfect. Everything you could possibly need was included and totally organized. We LOVED our stay in The Salt and Battery! Highly recommend!!
