Great location with all the amenities.

Absolutely loved this property. It is in a great location with a beautiful view of the water. Each of the 2 large bedrooms has an ensuite which was great. The wrap around deck was nice and a lively place to enjoy your breakfast on a Sunday morning. I wish we were there for more than just 2 nights.

Skipper Tom’s was an amazing place to stay in Twillingate. The accommodations were as stated and very comfortable. It was within walking distance to the town. It was perfect for two couples as we each had our own space. I would definitely recommend staying here. PS The muffins were delicious and a nice treat.

Really nice house- very cozy and well appointed. Bathrooms and bedrooms were great. Kitchen was well stocked and very functional. We loved the location. No complaints- only good things to say. Charming town with friendly people. We went to the dinner theater on our last night - really fun and entertaining. The owners were very good with communication and telling us to contact that for anything. Such a warm homey feeling to the house. Thank you

The condo was very comfortable and very nicely decorated. It had a clean kitchen area, which was well stocked with dishes and utensils. Refrigerator was very clean. Overall the condo was super clean when we arrived. We liked the area the neighborhood and being across from the beach, but unfortunately we had rain and heavy winds for the weekend.
