Upstairs, you'll find two large bedroom suites both with queen beds and en-suite bathrooms, each with its own shower and soaker tub. Each bedroom is equipped with its own TV (with cable) and has beautiful views of the water. The home sits on a large piece of land overlooking Robin's Cove. The views can be enjoyed from all rooms in the home, as well as from the large wrap around deck. The property was built by the owner's Grandfather Tom in 1914. He was a Skipper on schooners fishing off the Labrador coast. Hence the name "Skipper Tom's". On the property, you'll find a working root cellar and a shed that was built in the mid 1800s. Located in the heart of Twillingate, this property provides guests with the very best Twillingate has to offer - stunning views and proximity to local attractions. Guest Access: You will have access to the entire home. 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. Interaction with Guests: Managed locally, I'm only a text, message or call away.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

You will love staying at Skipper Tom's!
Skipper Tom's ranks as one of the very best rental houses we have ever stayed in! The house is very comfortable and well-equipped. We felt at home as soon as we arrived. The keypad door lock works like a charm (many places don't). The house is nicely decorated with many books about Twillingate and the area, and many historical photographs. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals and snacks. The living room furniture is very comfortable, and the beds are excellent. Two bedrooms, both upstairs, both with ensuites with plenty of towels and hot water. Loved sleeping with the windows open to the ocean air! TV and WIFI worked great. We were able to get cell phone reception to the US out on the front porch, which was an unexpected bonus. The wrap-around porch was wonderful - two different types of chairs were easy to move into the sun or the shade, and we loved having an ocean view. Easy parking right in the yard, and an excellent location for exploring the town and peninsula. Easy walking distance to the Twillingate Dinner Theatre, the Split Rock Brewery, and D&T Restaurant (don't be put off by the appearance of D&T - the food was excellent). We can't think of anything we would change or that was missing, and wished we were staying longer in Twillingate because we didn't want to leave this house! We would definitely stay at Skipper Tom's again if we are in the area.
