Summary:
Whistler's View is a 2-bedroom bungalow nestled in the tiny outport community of Crow Head, on Twillingate Island. The home is perched on a hill with stunning views of the North Atlantic. The home sits on a large corner lot and has a large deck from which, if you're lucky, you may catch a glimpse of icebergs and whales as they pass by.
This home is very well-suited to couples and families wishing to experience what life is life in rural Newfoundland and Labrador.

The Neighborhood:
Crow Head is a tiny town on Twillingate Island, with an approximate population of 156. It's home to the Long Point Lighthouse and beautiful coastal hiking trails.
Getting Around:
Most people arrive in Crow Head by car. It's a lovely community to walk around but a car is necessary to get to the amenities in nearby Twillingate (i.e. grocery store, gas station, restaurants, etc.).
Other Things to Note:
This property has been operated as successful vacation home for years, consistently receiving 5-star reviews. Starting in the fall of 2022, the owners have hired Outport Realty to manage the property for them. As such, we are re-listing the property. The owners, who are local to Twillingate, take great pride in this home and look forward to hosting guests for many years to come.
A little history about the home:
Allan Sharpe was a carpenter and foreman in the Asarco mine in Buchans. He moved home in the 1960's to semi-retire and was known around Crow Head for his constant whistling as he worked around his property or as he walked about the town, hence the name "Whistler's View". Allan and his wife Clara spent their retirement years here. This was his home. This was his view.
The home was built in the 1960's and recently has undergone an extensive renovation both interior and exterior.
