Christmas Holiday
This visit was quiet and just what we wanted for a relaxing holiday. Our little house was right across from a locals' favorite beach, John Smith's Bay. We could hear the ocean from inside the house! The bus stops were right across the street, or about 2 blocks away in Devil's Hole. We liked riding the bus and chatting with our neighbors at the bus stop. We would love to come back and experience Bermuda a little closer to high season. This house is a great location if you don't want to be in the hustle bustle of the city. Our hostess was wonderful. She had bus tickets waiting on us when we arrived and checked in on us periodically through a messaging app. She sent a short list of attractions and the bus routes to get there. We also were in touch with the property manager, who delivered us blankets (it got pretty chilly at night) the second day. We felt well taken care of and welcomed.

We enjoyed our time at this property! As others have noted, a little outdated. I was actually surprised at how much space we had - was not as evident in the photos. We were there with our three kids (ages 3-9) and felt safe in the area. The location was fantastic and the kids loved having the beach so close. They were also particularly fond of the chickens that would sometimes venture over from next door. Elizabeth was super responsive and the offer to arrange for transport to/from the airport was a very nice bonus.

Awesome location for the beach!
A fantastically located beach house for John Smith Bay- our favourite beach on Bermuda.
Excellent stable WiFi at the property, and nice TV.
Comfy beds and lots of fans and A/C units although we didn’t need them as we visited in late October.
Slightly alarming that the 2nd bedroom was missing a section of glass out of one window.
This certainly could’ve been an issue if we visited in colder weather. And, in general I would suggest this as a good weather only property!
Kitchen is a bit dated, but just about had what we needed.
Comfy beds.
Host was really quick and helpful with any questions.
The snack bar at John Smith Bay is great, and was our favourite place to enjoy a beer and burger after a day enjoying Bermuda.
Buses are pretty good (although don’t stick to the timetable often) until 6pm at which point you need a taxi.

Charming beach house across from beach
As described. a charming beach house across from John Smith's Bay beach, fully equipped 2BR, kitchen, dining, and living room. The host was the best we've ever had, making sure that our stay throughout was perfection!
The pictures suggest that there is a direct view to the beach - there is not - and there is no spa/hot tub as listed. Also, being on the rustic side there is only one outlet in each room and not in the bathroom so bring a power strip for all your devices; also no outside electric to charge if you rent an EV car. Overall, a great well-equipped rental with an almost private beach right there - 5 stars.

Plenty of space to spread out for family of five (tall teens!) Yes, could use some updating, but you can’t beat that beautiful beach across street and bus stops too! Plenty of beach gear here, teens loved the inflatables! 😄 We would definitely stay here again with the kids👍 Host was very responsive too

Couldnt have been better!! 🌞🌴
Wow, what can we say about this property? And about Elizabeth as a host from the moment we booked to even a day or 2 after we arrived home the entire experience was fantastic. The property is clean and exactly as described,she had big white fluffy bath towels, Several beach towels, beach toys, water and coffee in the fridge. And the TV even had Netflix, prime YouTube, and the like. Which was great for the kids? Prior to arrival, she gave us a ton of information regarding getting around a taxi reference bus route grocery store information. And the location is a directly across from a gorgeous beach and delicious cafe. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much again to Elizabeth for offering us a wonderful time.

Right across the beach. Good bus access. Close to two grocery places. Good place to stay if you want to explore the Flatts, st George, caves, bamz, etc.
Elizabeth was in touch throughout. Clarifying questions and offering suggestions. We landed late in the evening and everything was almost closed but Elizabeth made sure we had basic milk and water through her assistant. Wonderful person.

Perfect location for beach and buses
The most perfect host, could not do enough for us, responded to every request, not that we had many and went out of her way to organise our taxi's to and from the airport. We needed a place to crash and eat with our hectic schedule on and around the islands and I am so glad we picked this one. Close to both the No1 and No3 buses which was more than enough to get everywhere with very little trouble. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen and bathroom adequate for our needs. It is not a brand new build but also not in need of improvements, a lovely "home away from home". My first Vrbo experience, let's hope they are all like this.

Great Quiet Location
This property was perfect for rest and relaxation. The beach across the road was never crowded, the little bar at the beach has great food and drinks prepared by very nice and welcoming owners/employees.
The house owners are very easy to communicate with and very helpful.
The house was well equipped including beach chairs and beach towels and is positioned to capture a refreshing breeze off the ocean.
Being so far from Hamilton is not a problem at all. A bus pass gets you where you need to go with ease and taxis are readily available through the two taxi apps used on the island.
Hamilton is only a 15 minute ride away.
I will definitely look to book this house again on my next visit to Bermuda.
