Grand Hospitality

The owners are wonderful. The property is the perfect place to have a cup of coffee or wine by the ocean. Access to the private beach was terrific (but lots of stairs). Right on the bus line for the South Road made getting back and forth from Hamilton and the Dockyards a breeze. I loved getting to see the parishes as I rode the bus. Jasmin even took us to the airport when we couldn't get a taxi. We'd love to stay again.

We loved our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay, especially enjoying the view from the front lawn of the house.With the bus stop only a few steps to the north and a beach a few steps and a staircase to the south, we really took advantage of the location and enjoyed our time spent in Bermuda.Our host and family were friendly, kind, and we appreciated them so much.We would definitely come back.

Beautiful spot in Bermuda

Wendell and Xinia were very welcoming and kind. They have a beautiful piece of paradise and we’re lucky they are willing to share. I wish we were still there! The location is great. Within walking distance to a pantry and some restaurants and the bus stop is right out front. Definitely recommend and will be back! Thanks again!

Location, Location, Location

We had a wonderful time staying here. The views are amazing & the location can’t be beat. We used the ShoreLink app to purchase our bus passes & it was so easy to catch the bus. The bus stops are literally just a few yards away from the unit. The unit is small, but we didn’t spend a lot of time there. It was stocked with the basic essentials to prepare a light meal or snack. Henry VIII’s is within walking distance for a nice meal or carry out. The hosts were extremely nice. We met Wendell, but mostly had the pleasure of dealing with his daughter, Jasmine. As a previous review stated, it’s not fancy, but it was perfect for us & reasonably priced. We would definitely stay here again.

Hope to be back

We stayed 12 days at Whispering Waves And had an excellent time. Wendell, Xinia,and jasmine are a lovely family, with a wealth of knowledge to share about their island. The views from their home are beautiful overlooking the ocean with a large green space. There’s a table for two outside your private entrance. There’s a bus stop in either direction on the road side of the property, we traveled on the bus every day, if you get the bus pass, you can travel from one end of the island to the other and also use it on the ferries for one price.You can’t ask for a better host and his wife, we hope to return againBetty an Terry

The stunning beauty of the property and the hospitality of Wendell is exactly as you've read in the other reviews. If you want to stay near the beautiful beaches on the South Shore you can't beat it. If you'd like to be within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and nightlife, Hamilton is probably more your speed.

Great location for walking to Horeshoe Bay

Owner Wendall was very nice (via email) but we never met him as his wife had an emergency and they were off property. His daughter Jasmine met us upon our arrival and even arranged taxi transport back to the airport on the day we left. The room is basic and small (size of a bedroom with private bathroom) but compared to expensive Bermuda hotels it was worth it. Henry’s pantry and restaurant is 5 minute walk. Horseshoe Bay from the apartment to the beach is about a 20 minute walk. Bus stop right outside. We rented an electric car for the day at Oleander at the Reefs which was 10 minute walk. You can see Gibbs lighthouse from the yard. Beautiful views of the ocean from front of house. We were in the back of the house facing the road, very private. The hottub was not in service which disappointed my husband who has a bad back. Bed was comfortable. We had a very nice 4 nights in Bermuda!

Great location with lovely private beach

The best parts of our stay were the location of this property, the nearby private beach, and the super nice, and helpful host, Wendell. We stayed in a separate, private section of his home, and it was clean, comfortable and quiet. We'd recommend it to a couple seeking a low-key, affordable getaway!

Beach side Beauty

The property is so nice with a beachy vibe. The room is cozy with a full bath, dorm fridge, and microwave. The owner and his wife are so delightful. Wendell took us on a very thorough tour of the island showing us places that we would have not seen had we not been with him. The beach is just a little walk down the block and down some stairs. It’s a gorgeous beach! Of course you won’t find any beach less than beautiful in Bermuda. There are really great restaurants within walking distance as well as Horseshoe Bay Beach. This little piece of paradise is located in a very good area and surrounded by some of the best places to eat. You can’t go wrong with this area and stay.

Beautiful Beach

We loved our stay. It had a beautiful beach within a 5 minute walk. There were bus stops right outside our door. There was a private entrance and wonderful spots to sit and enjoy the view on the property. Our host was helpful. He let us drop off our luggage early and gave excellent advice on spots to check out on the island. Highly recommend.

Seaside cottage - private beach

The owner, Wendell is a wealth of information- a local that knows everything and probably everyone. The small hilltop unit is a 2 min walk to a private cove ( down many stairs) for swimming and relaxing . Quaint and quiet location overlooking a breathtaking view. We used the convenient bus stop a few steps away to see everything on the island. We love the south shore location and the friendly hosts.

Great place to either enjoy the beach and explore Bermuda

Wendell will treat you like one of the family. He showed us the sights of the island, and helped us to get bus tickets and food. The location is great, and you have a lovely spot to look out to sea. It's a short walk to a lovely secluded beach.

Perfect for exploring Bermuda

The room is just steps from a bus stop and about a 20 minute walk to Horseshoe Bay Beach. The room is tiny, but perfect for the person/couple that does not plan to spend much time in the room and wants to explore the island.

The Best Location with the best hosts

We had a wonderful time at Wendell's & Xinia apartment such wonderful hosts, wouldn't of wanted to stay anywhere else we will certainly miss all the chats and stories and the views from your garden. The apartment is conveniently close to Bus stops which makes it so easy to see all the island, which is so beautiful with its turquoise waters and white sand beaches its paradise. Hope to come back and visit you both in the future with our 3 girls.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Wendell and his family are so friendly and welcoming. The location is amazing. Walk a few hundred yards to Henry’s pantry. Horseshoe Bay beach is about a 15 minute walk. The private beach in front of the property itself is absolutely breathtaking. The bus stop is right outside your door!

The owners were a blessing to know and work with.

Beautiful location, clean, neat. The ocean views were amazing. The owners were a kind family and fixed dinner for me on my first night there. They made sure I had what I needed. The weather was rainy and cooler than expected and I did not get much sight seeing in but that’s ok because this was a business trip and I spent most of my time on my computer. Next trip will be more for pleasure and hopefully much warmer.

This property is situated a 15 minutes walk from the beach Horseshoe Bay, and many other lovely beaches. The busstopp is right outside, and the buses take you to the city of Hamilton in 25 minutes, going every 30 minutes. We bought buscards which also included the ferries, so we made it easily around this beautiful island. Friendly hosts!
