Perfect place of paradise

Jody and Cathy were the perfect hosts. Always very nice and ready to help us. The studio has a super view and it was very very clean. The studio was well equiped and the location is great. There is a bus stop just in front of the house, you are close to nice beaches, close to the railway road and 10 minuts from the dockyard by bus. I would definitly recommand that place to everybody.

Wonderful property in a nice quiet area that is convenient to everything. Bus stop right next to the apartment. Also ferries are available and just a short walk or bus ride to the ferry terminal. Jody was a great host. And has an electric bike shop on the property if you have the guts to ride a bike on the left side of the road. We loved everything about the property. And if we have the opportunity to visit this beautiful island we will look this property up. Very affordable also.

The apartment across from Mangrove Bay exceeded all expectations. The breathtaking views of the bay and its lush surroundings were truly mesmerizing. Its close proximity to transportation made it incredibly convenient for exploring the area and beyond. The availability of nearby beer and wine store along with walking distance to grocery store made it easy to stock up on supplies for the week to keep cost down. Dining out in Bermuda is expensive! Overall, this apartment provided a serene haven with stunning views and convenient amenities, making it an ideal choice for a memorable stay. The owners Jody and Cathy were very helpful with any questions we had and were gracious hosts! Highly recommended to live like locals.

Absolutely recommend this beautiful rental! Jody was a fantastic host giving us quick and clear communication before and during our stay, and going above and beyond to give us a great experience. He initially offered to pick us up from the airport, but when his van unexpectedly needed service the week of our stay he instead coordinated a taxi driver who was awaiting us at the airport upon arrival. He was friendly and very helpful. The property is perfect - clean, well-stocked with cookware, full refrigerator, dishwasher and oven in order to live like a local while in paradise. The view from the balcony and sitting area are beyond gorgeous, and the area is safe and friendly. Convenience store just across the street is perfect for a wine/beer run and snacks, and there's a full grocery store and fantastic pizza shop just a bus stop or quick walk away. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and can't wait to plan another trip!!

Property is in ideal location to get round the island. Bus stop 25 metres away, post office close by to purchase tickets, or purchase online. Supermarket 2 stops or 10 minute walk away. Food and drink very expensive.Boat club across the road welcome your custom and prices a lot cheaper than restaurants etc.

Paradise Found

Jody was wonderful and always around to answer questions to provide odds and ends we asked about. He even stepped in and offered to be our cab to and from the airport. I’ve stayed in many different apartments across the island over the years and this one tops them all when it comes to decor and cleanliness. The appliances were all in perfect condition and were full size too! And you can’t beat the view of the water. Having a spot to park our scooters was very convenient and the bus stop is steps away for those who prefer the bus. The ferry dock and grocery store are quite close too. We easily walked to Cambridge Beaches to rent our scooters (nicer models than they rent at Dockyard). Could have eaten there too, but that was out of our budget. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony in the evenings, listening to music and tree frogs, while watching the traffic and people passing.by.We definitely hope to return!
We rented the apartment on the right that included the little sitting room out front.
We parked our scooters in the little nook in the back, accessible from the side street.

Friendly Hosts and Pleasant accommodations

Very cute studio with a nice view of Mangrove Bay. I loved the fact that the bus stop is right outside the apartment. It was easy to take the bus 2 stops up to the grocery store for our food supply. We also could do a short ride in the opposite direction to the dock yard to get the ferry or to do some tourist activities like the dolphin quest. My older mother could not walk far so having the bus stop so close really worked. Our hosts were wonderful and always available to answer questions. We almost didn't make it to our flights because of all the cancelations. They were a big help in getting us there and going out of their way to do so. Both Jody and Kathy were wonderful. I would definaitly book this apartment again.
