About this property

Charming Private Cottage by the Beach

Sea View Mews is a newly-renovated cottage in a lush, private garden setting, just a few steps from the beach at Cambridge Beaches. It has one queen bedroom with en suite bathroom, fully equipped kitchen with gas stove, microwave, dishwasher and coffee machine, a large living/dining room, a beautiful walled garden with sunken dining area and BBQ, outdoor shower and direct access to the beach. There is a charging point for electric cars and plenty of parking. There is super-fast Wifi, perfect for your work-from-home respite in Bermuda. We have incorporated green technology - solar power and water filtration system for a comfortable, guilt-free stay!

There is a bus stop and supermarket a short walk away, as well as the other amenities of Somerset Village. Guests can use the restaurants and spa at Cambridge Beaches hotel, a short walk through the garden gate. You can also rent water sports equipment, mopeds and electric cars close by.

You will have complete private use of the cottage and garden during your stay.

We have Abby the Dalmatian and Sammy the Cocker Spaniel on the property, so you must be dog-friendly :). They can be kept out of the private mews garden if you wish. We welcome you to bring your dog with you, but have to say no to cats.

We provide beach towels, beach chairs and umbrellas, snorkelling equipment, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, washer and dryer. There is air conditioning and fast WiFi (500mbps) and redundant capacity with two separate networks - one fibre, one wireless.

We are located in the heart of Somerset, in a private 2-acre property set back from the quiet Cambridge Road. The historic Naval Dockyard and the South Shore beaches are an easy bus ride away, or you can nip there on your moped or Twizy. Ferries run from nearby Watford Bridge to Hamilton in the morning and afternoon and from Dockyard all day.

We provide bicycles you can use to explore the area, including the nearby tranquil Railway Trail. We are both keen cyclists and can provide recommendations for places to visit by bicycle.

Jonah is an artist who has his studio nearby and you are welcome to visit. Jonah's work can be seen at Jonah-art

Sea View has an interesting history of creative people who have lived there which can be seen on our website at Sea View Bermuda.

We are happy to answer any questions you have about the property or Bermuda in general and will do whatever we can to make sure you have a wonderful stay.

Just Book It!

We spent 5 nights here and we could not say enough great things about it! Absolutely perfect location with a nice quiet place out back to sit by ocean or go enjoy all the resort next door has to offer. This property was amazing, interesting with the garden grounds, three wonderful furry friends and two awesome hosts. Jo and Jonah went above and beyond to make sure our vacation was memorable and had all we needed. I will never forget these lovely people or their boy Sammy knocking on the door daily looking for a treat! If it's available, don't second guess, just book it!!!

A lovely place on a beautiful island

The Mews is beautifully located, with a easy pathway through to a great beach only 2 minutes walk away. We were able to use good bikes (included) to get around which was a real bonus (and kayaks would have been available too if we wished). Jo and Jonah were away for much of our stay, but their housekeeper Cassie was both welcoming and very friendly.

Blissful Bermuda Getaway

Great stay with Jo and Jonah (and Abby, Sammy and Anna!). They were fantastic hosts providing a charming spot to call home for a week. The Mews was the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation-property was lovely with an easy path to the beach. We spent lots of time reading on the beach, wading in the beautiful blue water and ending the day by grilling dinners in the lovely garden. We rented a scooter next door at Cambridge Beaches and explored the gorgeous island but loved coming back to our home away from home. We can’t wait to come back!

Just right for us

The casual elegance of this historic property is very evident staying at the Mews. Privacy and quiet is perfect. Walking the gardens with the flora and fauna are just lovely. The cottage is modern and very comfortable.Biking the rail trail with their bikes was just what we needed.Cambridge next door is a plus with that special beach right through the path.This isn't a place for kids... really. It's a grown up English garden on a spectacular beach.Romantic. Special. For grown ups.We loved it.Love to return.

Definitely going back!

This is a beautiful cottage with a large bedroom, nicely decorated bathroom, large great room equipped with a spacious desk and comfy furniture, and an equipped alley kitchen. The grounds are beautiful, and the cottage is just steps from the private beach. Our hosts are warm, accommodating, delightful people. Bermuda is filled with gorgeous scenery and friendly, people. We will be back!

Perfect Oasis

We had the most fabulous stay at Sea View, everything was available to make your stay comfortable, the back garden was a lovely sun spot late afternoon when you could soak up the last of the sun perfect. The short walk to the beach made our day each morning. Buses 7 and 8 are only a 5 minute walk from sunview along with the local supermarket. Jo and Jonah were the perfect hosts along with the dogs. We would definitely return.

We don’t know where to start it was so fabulous.

About the host

Hosted by Jo

Host profile image
Originally from the UK, Jonah & Jo have lived in Bermuda for over 30 years. Jonah is a well-known local artist working in oil paints and Jo works in the reinsurance industry. We love living by the water and participating in water sports such as snorkelling, kayaking and swimming. We are keen cyclists and so know every inch of the island! We have two dogs, Abby the Dalmatian and Sammy the Cocker Spaniel.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house after renting it for 5 years and just love it. The garden setting is so private and tranquil, but it is just a few steps from the beach where we get the most beautiful sunsets. The house is a little slice of Bermuda history and we are proud to be taking care of it and sharing it with others to enjoy as much as we do.
