6 Bedroom House in Dildo

You won't find Tranquility Bay on a map of Newfoundland, so its best you not dedicate too much time to that effort at the moment. We'll get to that in a moment....
Described by a local business man as "the nicest piece of property in Trinity Bay", our "cottage" at Tranquility Bay, is just one hour from St. John's. Nestled on a quiet corner overlooking Trinity Bay, this property features complete privacy, a private beach, a Hydropool Self-Cleaning Hot Tub and a newly renovated property all throughout.
Understanding that the location of this property simply can not be beat, the actual home consisted of an orginal cottage built circa 1974, and an extension built circa 2000. The orginal cottage has been extensively renovated in 2016 with a nautical theme and a Cape Cod beach house in mind. New everything except for some old hardwood flooring to maintain a hint of the old. "New" meaning we took the entire roof structure out and went back to the beginning - wiring, heating, air conditioning, kitchen, bathroom, fireplace and furniture. All is new as of 2016. The original cottage is what we had envisioned it to be and it is beautiful.
The extension has been partially renovated and now features a sitting room with a view to behold. This part of the home offers up the 3 extra bedrooms on the 2nd floor - two with bay windows that provide the best panoramic view you can imagine. There is also a gain of 2 1/2 bathrooms in this area.
Outside, the property is situated on 2 acres with plenty of grass and green space to play bocce ball, throw a football or baseball or to simply walk around. In places the rocky cliffs are quite steep and care should be taken when sitting for your morning coffee. To the left while facing the ocean there is a short scramble to "Treasure beach" (as named by our 7-year old son) which is nestled beneath much higher cliffs. Directly in front is a private beach where we spend most of our time with our children.
Getting back to the location, "Tranquilty Bay is found on the edge of the little hamlet of Dildo, NL. That is about as gentle as we can say it with a name that garners reactions from a blush and giggle to down right offending people. This town is a great place to take a stroll, meet the local artisans, fisherman and gift store folk. Visitors to the cottage from May to October find themselves watching seals, whales, tuna, eagles and at one point hundreds and hundreds of butterflies! Overall, the scenery is exceptional, the pace is perfect and the convenience of being just one hour from the airport makes it truly a complete escape close to home.

Summary: Two families were quite comfortable at this beautiful property. A short walk into town was convenient and the views were spectacular!

Pat R. Aug 27, 2024 07:08:35 PM

Summary: Very spacious accommodation for our large family group. House was comfortable, quiet and well equipped. The children especially enjoyed the hot tub while the adults loved the patio setting overlooking the bay and watching the glorious sunsets. The only negative was finding a very dirty barbecue.

Summary: Our stay at Tranquility Bay was very enjoyable. Everything was perfect. It was a great space for our family of twelve of all ages, and the perfect location to area attractions.

Summary: The views from this house are amazing, with spectacular sunsets and we saw whales in the bay from the house. The kids loved the private beach and we all enjoyed the hot tub. There is loads of space - enough to entertain our Newfoundland family. We were concerned about the lack of curtains when we arrived, but actually we all slept fine.

Summary: We had a wonderful time. It was a great place to have our wedding party for our Jack and Jill. It would have been nice to have some fans in the rooms since it got really hot upstairs due to the lack of blinds. But overall, we had an amazing time. Thanks so much for everything!

Summary: We recently spent 10 days at this cottage for a 60th birthday for my partner. To start, the location was idyllic and the beauty of the water from our deck was always enough for us to pause and admire it for hours on end. The town and its people were always warm and welcoming and some of us spent our mornings at the pier or the dock watching fishermen catch and prepare their fish. Indeed many of them gave us some of their catch for free! The food at the Barn Cafe and the Brewery was delicious, and the weather never failed to be beautiful and warm. My group of 8 adults spent many days or evenings enjoying each others company, eating loster dinners, playing games, reading books on the deck, or enjoying the warm soaks in the incredibly clean hot tub. We even had the pleasure of meeting the housecleaner and her family. She had come by to mow the grass, and as we sat on the deck watching her work so hard, we decided to welcome her and her family afterwards to join us for a short while afterwards. They were delightful! Unfortunately, I am giving this place a 2-3 star rating however. And these are the reasons: 1. The grounds are very unkempt. I would venture to say that there has been no attempt to renovate outside. 2. The welcome book with instructions is very outdated. They refer to chickens on the property. I would venture to say they havent been around for years. 3. The instructions acknowledge some of the things that need fixing, but again, no attempt to fix over the years.

Summary: Pictures did not do this property justice. The house itself was much larger than it appears online. We were a group of seven women away with no kids and/or husbands and we had sooooo much space to just relax! The views in the morning while enjoying a coffee were a great start to our day, and the proximity to Dildo was fantastic - no need to start the car if we just wanted to pop into town for a few things. We do this vacation together every year in a new location every year, and our number one requirement is an excellent hot tub. Well, we're now officially spoiled because this was the biggest, cleanest hot tub we've ever had. The automatic roof was a game changer for the one single night we had a bit of precipitation. Did I mention clean? The water was pristine. The owners were SO quick to respond when we had a minor password issue with the wi-fi and otherwise left us completely alone, which was greatly appreciated. It was an amazing trip in a fantastic location and I could not recommend this house more.
