Historic 1780’s Beach House with Large Veranda! Nestled on Cambridge Beach!

Kitchen with oversized stove and oven, 2 x large fridges & two dishwashers as well as all the kitchen &equipment you will need to prepare a gourmet meal. Two grocery stores are a 5 minutes’ walk down Cambridge Road. Bus stop is 5 minutes’ walk. Air conditioning in all bedrooms. Stainless BBQ, large enough for a meal for 12 people. 2 x 55 led TV'S. Outdoor showers. Comfortably decorated and renovated with all the modern conveniences, the gracious old Bermuda home is a wonderful venue for a family reunion, or a getaway for friends who want to enjoy a tropical setting.


West End: Interesting places to see in the vicinity would include Dockyard. The extraordinary installation features a collection of spectacular buildings erected for navy re-provisioning in the very early 1800?s. The Maritime Museum out at Dockyard on Ireland Island has fascinating displays of items from Bermuda’s extraordinarily colorful past, fully restored. The Commissioners House is an iron structure with the most commanding view of the island to be seen anywhere- from end to end. Other handsome buildings now house art galleries, museums, cafes, artist’s workshops, theatres and pubs as well as a major ferry stop that will whisk you into Hamilton and on to St. Georges. Heading east by road towards Hamilton, you will be charmed with the town of Somerset- it has a post office and pharmacy, nice places to dine and little shops where you can re-provision while admiring the views and the mangrove-edged beach. Ely’s Harbour at Somerset Bridge has a small marina where you can rent boats and explore.

Railway trail / Restaurants: The Railway Trail is nearby as well, and offers a peek into Old Bermuda, as the trail wends away from the main road and past some fascinating old homes and farms with jaw dropping views. The grand beaches at Horseshoe, Warwick Long Bay and Elbow are a short bus or moped ride away and some are serviced public beaches with cafes, beach chair and umbrella rentals available. The Watford Bridge terminal is half a mile walk away. The local Supermarket is close by as well and spirits are sold until 9pm, and groceries can be purchased there until midnight or at the 24 hour store just 2 min walk. Casual dining can be enjoyed at the “Frog and Onion Pub” Bonefish Grill, Amicci's 10 minutes away at Dockyard or next door at the resort at Breezes on the outdoor beach restaurant. There are several take out options in walking distance right here in the village, and or you can get delivery service

Boat rentals: There is a boat rental a minute walk down the street at the dock in Mangrove Bay. Lasers, kayaks, Boston Whalers and all the snorkel gear you’ll need for rent is available there.They have experienced staff ready to advise you on the best cruising itinerary for the water sports adventure of your choice, with great fishing spots, waterside restaurants, ship wreck snorkeling, island picnicing and all kinds of water toys and more

We recommend Oleander Cycles as they have a kiosk next door at the Cambridge Beach Resort and Spa.

The house has two plugs to fast charge the electric rental cars, and I'll provide more info on transport and rentals once you've booked.

Relaxing Summer Getaway
Our family group of 13 had a wonderful week at Cambridge House. When we weren't out exploring the island or relaxing at the very close-by beautiful beach next door, we spent lots of time together on the large veranda, dining, playing games, and catching up. The grounds are gorgeous and well-maintained - we marveled at the night-blooming cereus and enjoyed watching the chickens wander about the yard. The house was clean, spacious, and well stocked. The owner was both attentive and helpful. All in all, a wonderful week in paradise.

Perfect Family Beach Stay
Three generations (including grandchildren from 7 months to 4 years) enjoyed a week of fun in the sun. Ben was very accommodating and gave great recommendations for boat excursions, rentals for baby equipment, and local markets and restaurants. The short walk to the beautiful beach was perfect for all ages. The front porch was a central hub for relaxing, playing and meals. We would highly recommend this location.

We had a fabulous stay at this property. We were a large party of sailors and spouses. Cooked dinner every night at the house for 20+ guests. There was plenty of room for everyone and we thoroughly enjoyed the front porch! The beach was incredible, with beach bar and all! Would be a great property for a large family!

50th anniversary family celebration
50 years ago, we honeymooned in Bermuda and fell in love with the island. We wanted to celebrate with our children and grandchildren there to provide them with an opportunity to experience the beauty and magic of Bermuda. The property accommodations provided the 13 of us the ability to be comfortable and have sufficient space to make this goal possible. The ability to walk within minutes to beautiful Cambridge beaches, public transportation to easily get to the Dockyard and ferries to all points on the island. The porch was the perfect spot for our family dinners and recapping our activities of the day. Everyone was sad to have the beautiful week to wind to an end. Our children are already discussing about future plans to return and about the beautiful memories that they made over the last week!

Great location for friends and family to gather.
I organized an impromptu gathering for my wife's big birthday with friends and family coming from all over. Bermuda is a great location for this, lots of direct flights and generally perfect weather and great beaches. This property was perfect for us, gave us the elbow room to spread out and a great porch to hang out. We booked Crown Point Concierge to manage our logistics like airport transfers and tours, boat tour and private chef for our stay. I can't say enough amazing things about how friendly and accommodating everyone was from both the property and the Concierge team. Truly a great stay.

Ben the owner is wonderful. He went out of his way to help us any way he could. Gave great tips before our trip and even took us to the grocery store in his car so we could do the initial shopping order. He also even offered to take us again midweek. When our flight got cancelled due to weather he let us come back to the house for another night! Really great property manager. The house is big and most of the bathrooms have been updated. The big table on the porch is where we ate every meal. A quick walk to the beach was easy and the restaurant next store was great too. We had a wonderful time!

Wonderful Family Reunion & 80th Birthday Celabration
Ben and his team allowed us to leave our bags early so we could enjoy the nearby beach prior to checkin. Great house that accommodated all 10 of us with separate bedrooms and baths. Comfortable large kitchen and seating areas inside and out worked very well family gathering and birthday party. He made our stay very enjoyable by providing fresh water and responding to our needs with recommendations of island services and activities for the entire family. Very convenient location with close by grocery store, bus and the harbor for boat charter. Great place to stay.

Best Holiday Ever
The property was even better than it looked and in a great location. Ben was brilliant, very welcoming and went above and beyond to help us. We had a mixed group of friends and my parents (age range 50 -75) but it was all perfect. House is very spacious, well appointed and its easy to get around and the beach is literally just out the back of the property. Couldn't have asked for a better place and will definitely be back. All 12 people from the party are looking to return! Fabulous!

The house was an excellent location for a family wedding at Cambridge beaches resort. The house accommodated all 15 people ranging in age from 3 -84. The steps leading down into the lower rooms were steep and care had to be taken. The house was super and had lots of character. And the Comunications with the owner was great and all the questions we had were answered quickly and fully. The grounds were extensive with coconut trees and bananas with birds visiting constantly.

Very enjoyable stay
We had a family gathering with all ages present at Ben’s property. He was very helpful in many ways both before we arrived and when we were staying at the cottage. The property is very spacious and is ideally located for the supermarket and the really great beach a short walk away through the garden. The outside terrace is a great place to sit and relax especially when it was hot and humid. Some maintenance is required to the property and Ben has this on his radar.

Wonderful house for a large group
Our family of three generations ranging from 73 to 7 years had a wonderful stay at this lovely, historic house. We were able to spread out throughout the large house such that everyone was able to have his/ her private space. The beach behind the house was perfect for the young children, the water was so clear and calm. It was extremely convenient to be able to use restaurant/bar of the nearby resort for those time when we did not want to cook. The local supermarket was easily walkable. The owner Ben was extremely helpful during the reservation process and very accommodating with the changes we had to make. We would absolutely recommend this lovely spot for a large gathering.

Great for a family get together
This property worked very well for our family vacation. There was plenty of space and it was well equipped for all age groups. The front porch eating space was our favorite. Ben's recommendations and help was spot on and much appreciated. My only criticism was that there was an "extra person" charge shown at the very bottom of the listing. As the booking person, I wish this had been more evident in the listing information. Ben was honest when asked what the additional charges were for, but I had to ask.

Beautiful historic home steps to the beac
Our family and friends group of 15 stayed at the Cambridge Beach House for a week in Sept 2021. The home is a beautiful historic house that is exactly as pictured. We were a two minute walk to a beautiful beach with beach chairs and umbrellas! The beds were all very comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped for cooking. Ben our host was very accommodating, answering all of our questions prior to the trip very promptly and even got on a zoom call to answer any questions and provide recommendations. He also picked up our grocery order for us when we were still in quarantine! We did not take any of the public transportation due to it being shut down because of covid, but the house is close to the bus stop and also walking distance to the market. H2O sports is at the resort next door. We used Ricky's Transport to move our group around the island as well. You are the far end of the island with a 20 minute ride to Turtle Bay, 50 minutes to the airport and Hamilton and an hour to St. Georges. We did not find that the transportation was a negative because the ride through the island is beautiful and the home and Cambridge Beach make up for it. The Breezes restaurant next door provided a couple of wonderful meals. We also had food catered in from Fourways Inn and from IRG catering. Both meals were excellent. Overall, we recommend this rental for a large group to spend time together.

Great House for a big group
We had a great stay here--a mix of family and friends to celebrate my birthday. The house is beautiful, in a lovely garden setting, easy walk to a nice beach. The mix of beds and rooms worked well for a group that included couples, singles and kids. Ben the host was attentive and available, but not intrusive, and helped us figure out local transportation and groceries so that we could settle in easily and relax. The house is in a quieter part of Bermuda, kind of far from the action, but that was good for our group, and we all worked out how to use the local buses and ferries to get around and explore other places. We really enjoyed our stay!
