Waterfront vacation rentals in Downtown, St. John's

Right on Water Street within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Can be noisy due to traffic- light sleepers may have an issue if they also turn in early. Noise settles eventually. The host was helpful in assisting with this issue by providing a fan for white noise. I would stay here again- super clean and close to many tourist attractions.

Great stay! Very beautiful view from the back deck!

We found the apartment very comfortable especially the furniture. It was very clean. I especially liked the serene view. I didn’t find the iron till we were leaving but I found out hanging your clothes in the bathroom, the steam really will de wrinkle your clothes. I would recommend Faith’s place.

When us five ladies opened the door we were blown away by the lovely modern accommodations. Great quality beds, linens, towels, and lots of extra amenities. Everything was very tastefully done. Highly recommend this as an excellent place to stay.😁😁😁

Excellent space, fantastic host, easy to deal with and location was perfect!

A serene and picturesque location that embodies the beauty, essence, and culture of the Maritimes. This charming home evokes the image of Northern Ontario transformed by the waters of Lake Simcoe and the Trent-Severn Waterway. The community embodies the foundation of this province and its relationship with Ontario, showcasing values of community, minimalism, and a deep appreciation for our cultural heritage. A gem in an ocean of pristine beauty, it deserves our cherished attention. Thank you for reminding me of the abundance of sea, lakes, and rivers that sustain our nation and this beautiful province.

Perfectly located close to signal hill and all the restos downtown. Place is superbly clean and spacious. It has all the needed amenities for comfort away from home. Check in and out was super simple and Joy was easy to reach for anything. I particularly enjoyed the very modern vibe of the place. Only downside is perhaps the lack of views but there is ample light coming into the place. Will definitely stay again on next visit.

Ideal location for a getaway. Close to a number of restaurant’s and small shops. Walking trails close by. Lots of hiking, walking and sightseeing options available in neighbouring communities.

This place was absolutely stunning! Elias greeted us upon arrival and was so incredibly welcoming and friendly! I can’t say enough good things about him. The place had everything we needed and then some! The balcony has a beautiful view and the downtown area is walkable from this place. Would 100% return again!

Great spot in Petty Harbour. Gorgeous views from the home and spacious deck for watching the boats for fishing come and go. Very spacious with three bedrooms with queen sized beds and well thought out kitchen supplies. Lots of coffee, tea, sugar and coffee whitener for your morning fix! Would definitely stay here again if back in the area.

Rose's place felt like coming home. It had everything we needed and more and was very cozy and comfortable. We had a great time visiting St. John's and look forward to coming back.

Harborside blue is one of the best places we’ve stayed at on Airbnb, hands-down. Jim and Michelle were so wonderful to us and incredibly accommodating for our family of two parents and two toddlers. They had absolutely everything we needed and the space is huge. This was our first time in St. John’s and our family would definitely go back and if we did we would stay here again. Thanks for everything, Jim and Michelle!

Top 3 Airbnbs among the dozens we've stayed in across location, design, thoughtfulness, comfort, amenities to a point where we almost debated changing our flight to stay a day longer! the guide book they've created was the cherry on top!

This home is literally a home away from home! As soon as you walk in you feel welcomed. The layout, the beds, the 2 bathrooms. Oh and the balcony! Just a gem of a home. The location is fantastic and the neighbors are lovely. My son forgot his favorite toy there and the hosts went out of their way for us to get it back. This is the best Airbnb I have ever stayed at. If this home is available rent it! You will not regret it.

Lovely spot. Morning coffee watching the boats come in and out of the harbour was so peaceful. Super close to a fantastic signal hill hiking trail. Views were stunning

We stayed at the most stunning Airbnb. Truly one of the best. The property is literally right on the water, and the views were insane. Waking up to the sound of the waves and having coffee while looking out at the ocean felt like a dream. The amenities were just as impressive: fully stocked kitchen, super comfortable beds, and every little detail was thought through. It was peaceful, beautifully designed, and honestly, hard to leave. If you’re looking for a luxurious, unforgettable getaway — this is it. ⸻ Let me know if you want to add location details or make it more playful or formal!
