Seaside Serendipity Waterfront Cottage near Twillingate

Summary:
Experience one of the world's premier iceberg destinations in a private waterfront retreat, perfectly positioned minutes from Twillingate's most iconic viewing locations. Each spring, massive glaciers break away from Greenland and drift through these waters. Like all wildlife, icebergs are unpredictable and never guaranteed. But whether or not they appear during your visit, the rugged coastline, scenic lookouts, and coastal trails offer no shortage of beauty to explore. Start your morning with coffee as the ocean stretches out before you. End your evening back at the cottage, unwinding with a glass of wine and watching the light fade over the water. With its light-filled interior, expansive water views, and inviting atmosphere, Seaside Serendipity offers a rare balance of proximity, privacy, and understated coastal luxury.

The Space:
This sweet cottage has been lovingly renovated by its owners. You'll enter the cottage through the side/rear door, just off of the driveway, into a small foyer. From there you'll enter the fully-equipped, chef-friendly kitchen with views to the ocean.

There is a laundry (washer/dryer) off of the kitchen. On the water-facing side of the home, the kitchen flows into a super cozy living area with bright large windows exposing the ocean view and lots of natural light. There is one bedroom (queen bed) off of the main floor living area on the backside of the home. Also on the main floor, you'll find a full bathroom, with soaking tub and standing shower.

The other two bedrooms are upstairs (queen bed and two single beds). All bedrooms are equipped with deluxe linens and cotton bedding. There is also a lovely small sitting area upstairs with swivel chairs overlooking the ocean; a perfect nook for enjoying your morning coffee or evening cocktail. There is a small deck/patio at the side/rear of the home (where you enter) with outdoor seating. It's important to note there is a security camera which overlooks both entrance doors

Guest Access:
The whole cottage is yours. One parking spot sits directly beside the home. A door code is sent one week before your stay, so you can arrive on your own schedule without waiting on anyone.

The Neighborhood:
Merritt's Harbour is a tiny, historic fishing village located in the scenic area known as Herring Neck. Herring Neck is only a short 15-minute drive from Twillingate, where you'll find all amenities (gas station, grocery stores, liquor store, pharmacy, restaurants, entertainment, etc.). Herring Neck offers beautiful scenery which can be enjoyed by simply walking the roads or by traversing the various local walking paths.

Getting Around:
Most guests to the Twillingate area arrive by car. Although the walking/hiking in the area is incredible and steps from most accommodations, a car is necessary to access some of the sights (i.e. Long Point Light House, various trail heads, etc.)

Other Things to Note:
The Rockcut Trails start a few minutes from the door. It is a community-built network of coastal paths running out along the headlands, roughly fifteen trails in all, from short easy walks to proper day routes. It has a reputation well past this island for how well it is built and looked after, and in the fall you will often have long stretches to yourself.

Great local food options. Lobster and seafood chowder at Sansoms, scallops and cod done well at Georgie's, fish and chips along the harbour, and a fish market if you would rather cook at the cottage. Crow's Nest Café does a proper espresso, latte or coffee and good pastries. The Great Auk Winery pours more than twenty Newfoundland wines made from local berries and fruit. Boat tours run out of Twillingate through the season.

Hours thin out in October, so call ahead.

A security camera covers both entrance doors.
