Rental unit in St. Michael's

Welcome to The Gannet, a charming studio retreat in one of the most breathtaking locations on the Avalon Peninsula. There are three units that comprise the Whale Watcher - The Puffin, The Loon and The Gannet - and the latter is the smallest. The private deck has comfortable chairs and a BBQ. Extraordinary ocean views lie just beyond your front door. The Gannet offers flexibility: an adjacent unit can be combined to create a spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath option. This unit is The Eagle. The space Accommodations The Whale Watcher's Gannet unit is a cozy, self-contained studio, complete with everything you need for a peaceful stay. Although a stand-alone studio/apartment, for larger groups or families, the Gannet can be seamlessly combined with an adjacent unit to create a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment. We have labeled this option The Eagle. Outdoor Spaces The Gannet has its own deck, with two deck chairs and its own BBQ. It does not afford a view of the ocean, however, the garden does! From there enjoy the sprawling seaside setting that has made the Whale Watcher one of the top choices for East Coast Travelers. Take advantage of loads of additional seating to relax in the clean coastal air. The Gannet is simple and affordable. Full bathroom with oversize shower; queen sized bed, functional little kitchenette with microwave, kettle, toaster, sink, and all kitchenware. For those who enjoy grilling, a BBQ is available for your use, on your own deck. Amenities The Whale Watcher is equipped with all the essentials for a comfortable stay: Fully stocked kitchen with dishes, cutlery, and linens (sheets and towels) Cozy small eating area with a table and two stools Two armchairs for relaxing indoors Small deck seating for two, ideal for morning coffee or evening stargazing; a better choice, would be to take wraps that are available, and come out to the garden to the Adirondack chairs, and enjoy the view, and the stars!! Wireless internet and cable TV for your entertainment Iron, ironing board, and hairdryer Access to owners’ washer, dryer, and an outdoor clothesline for that fresh-air-dried touch Indoor drying hooks for hikers’ gear Plenty of parking Experience the Local Charm Enjoy the sights and sounds of Newfoundland’s pristine coastline, with views straight out of a postcard.

Guest access Your door is coded access - so once you book with us we send you the door code and your check in instructions. The rest is pretty seamless. Lots of parking. Elaine, the owner, lives next door should you need assistance. The whole of the property is yours to enjoy: hang your wash on the clothes lines; wander up to Jerry's shed and watch him build a dory or deal with today's catch! O head down to the harbor where Wayne and Ken will take you out on a whale watching and cave exploring adventure. Other things to note We have plenty of parking! The apartments and studio are, we hope, cozy, and meticulous in their presentation. Entry is via a coded lock thus allowing flexible check in and check out convenience. There are no obstacles, no real stairs, and no obvious barriers to occupancy. The units, however, are not wheelchair accessible. There is a clothesline and the promise of a sea breeze to dry out your hiking things should you wish to avail of it. Otherwise hooks abound to dry your things inside. For a small fee, we offer you access to the house machines to do a load of laundry. Registration Details 5822
