Sharon is a thoughtful and accommodating host. There are many indications, both small and large, of her thoughtfulness – especially for writers. A number of desks where a writer can be alone, supplies of writing implements of different kinds, a stapler, a hole punch, paper, clipboards – all things you’d want at your own writing desk. Sharon’s a good and generous cook too! Tell her your needs and preferences in advance and she’ll accommodate. She took us on wonderful rides to see the sights – Terra Nova Park, Trinity (a place we especially wanted to return to after an earlier trip) and so on. I should add that the space is wonderfully supplied with books!

Thank you Sharon for your thoughtful hospitality. The hike thru Terra Nova [National Park] and puffins an whale watching in Bonavista was superb. Lovely meals and super view on your back deck.

Time sure flies! To think last Sunday we were still in NL and staying at your beautiful location & home. Thank you for your hospitality -- and your sister as well. You both were super-kind in taking Renee and I out to see parts of NL -- unbelievable scenery.

Thank you so very much!

Thank you Sharon for your wonderful hospitality an excellent meals that totally spoiled us! The excursions to Terra Nova National Park, and Bonavista, and Elliston were fantastic, and your kindness was most appreciated.

Thank you,

This place was ideal for onset on writing and on life in the midst of a waning pandemic. The scenery was serene, both near the retreat and at the nearby Terra Nova National Park. The Trinity EcoTour excursion to see an iceberg was a treat. Plenty of opportunity here to explore, replenish, read, and write. Meals were delicious and diverse. In good company with Farley, Alistair, and Dougal.

Thanks, Sharon,

Sharon’s Oceanview Writers Retreat is a fine spot for a writer – lots of space and time for writing, contemplating or just being. I did not have a writing project in mind but I hugely enjoyed the lovely quiet and our visits to the many scenic spots Sharon took us: like Terra Nova [Park]’s Visitor Center, the Boardwalk [around Sandy Pond], some National Park conservation work sites, down to Trinity and, most especially, her guided tour of the little town of Charlottetown... even met the garulous guy building a dock (what tales he has to tell !) Most picturesque town, beautiful. Good meals, good conversation with an attentive host, visits to interesting locations, and a perfect space to write to your heart’s content.
