About this property

Pictures Don't Do This Chic Waterfront Escape Justice +EV Charger

#NearEscape is a chic waterfront apartment overlooking one of Bermuda’s most idyllic settings, just off the Narrows – a picturesque waterway that is truly a sight to behold!

This modern 1 bedroom apartment offers the comforts of home in a very special corner of paradise. So your experience is as magical as the views, we include:
- Free wifi
- Parking for scooters or Twizy electric vehicles (tourist mini car rentals)
- Private patio area
- USB chargers (just in case you forget yours)
- Internet TV with Netflix, Hulu and Amazon TV ready to go (an amenity you won't find almost anywhere else)
- airport pickup

A home purpose built for any one who wishes to 'get away from it all.' Enjoy Bermuda's beauty from this private escape and choose how connected you wish to be. The apartment includes internet access, internet tv, dvd, fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave, a large shower.

And even better, you will be picked up at the airport by one of Bermuda's finest cab drivers and be welcomed to your holiday retreat (travel from airport to your vacation home included in the rate).

For travellers not as familiar with the island, here's some very helpful information on its location. The property is geographically located in the eastern part of the island. While this may not appear to be "central" it is actually located minutes away from most of the key attractions visitors to Bermuda come to enjoy, including our famous pink beaches, Crystal Caves, the town of St. George's, water sports, horseback riding, fabulous restaurants, spas and everyday conveniences like fully stocked grocery stores. If you want to get away from it all but still be close o it all, this is the perfect place to be.

Hamilton is a 25 minute drive away and for $4.5 for a ferry token, even the extreme western end of the island, where you find the Royal Naval Dockyard, can be reached in 45 minutes or less. As public transportation is found in close proximity to the property, many guests have enjoyed the property's amenities and Bermuda by exclusively relying on these services. If, however, this is not for you and you plan to rent a scooter or Twizy, please know that the property offers both serenity and easy accessibility - the best of both worlds.

Guests who have stayed at Near Escape during a full moon have witnessed the splendor of mother nature's celestial showcase like few places can offer. Book your stay around these dates and you will be in for something magical for sure. The full moon calendar for the year is as follows:

The Perfect Escape!

We had the BEST time in Bermuda in May staying in St. Davids at Mikes place! He was friendly and knowledgeable and the house was absolutely perfect for what we were looking for! Highly suggest staying in the St. Davids area as that is the quiet side of the island and perfect for a quiet getaway. Definitely cant beat the views either!

Lovely stay with a great host

My husband and I had a really nice stay at Near Escape. Mike, the host, is very friendly, accomodating and informative. We had to move up our booking due to an airline conflict, and Mike was very gracious in assisting us with that. The view is absolutely amazing beyond words, so I'm adding a few photos. Our taxi driver, Jody, was a perfect example of the Bermuda he loves so much; kind, friendly, knowledgeable, accomodating and a great tour guide, should you choose to book an island tour with him. Mike's dog, Karma, is a sweet one who watches over her property with pride.

St. David's Amazing View

We have been to Bermuda many many times and this was one of the best places we have stayed. Mike was a wonderful host and made sure we had a great stay. It was nice to stay at this end of the island away from the cruise ships and crowds. St Georges has lots of unique places to eat, drink and explore. Thank you Mike we will be back.

Beautiful view and lovely place

Everything was very modern, clean and neat. The view is beautiful and outdoor pool was refreshing. The location is further from Saint George’s activities than we have stayed before so plan to have a Car or at least a scooter, or call for taxis (only cash) or a hike to the nearest bus stop if you plan on going into St George’s or traveling throughout the island. No problem if you intend to just stay on site for a lovely, relaxing vacation.

beautiful unit and view of bay

modern unit that is attached to owner house where and his dog lives. The unit was very clean adn decorated well and iin a modern style. the view was fabulous and the pool, was nice and shared with him as its on his home property. the Unit is in the northern part of Bermuda which was nice if you like some isolation but also harder to reach other areas of the country as the buses are inconvient and toursit cant rent a car. We used a gypse cab driver , Gladwin, cell 441-705-5018, often and probably costs as much as a car rental , so that was good. The food stores are not close to walk but there was two restaurants in walking distance. the owner was very gracious and helpful with travel advice . would recommend highly.

Amazing House, Great Host, Beautiful Vacation

I stayed at Mike's home for 5 days, and I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this vacation. This was my first time traveling to Bermuda, and one of the first times I tried to plan everything out, as I usually backpack and play it by ear. With the cost of hotels on the island as expensive as they are, I opted for this rental home, and for half the price of the hotels on the island, it was more than worth the money. This is probably one of the most modern homes on the island, and looked exactly like the pictures when we arrived in person. Mike provided transportation from the airport to the home as promised, and even with all the research done before hand, Mike helped us out even more throughout our trip with any questions we had. The home, with a comfortable bed and modern renovation, the amazing view on the corner of the island, and Mike's hospitality proved to make this vacation one of my best.

The property and its views are just perfect.

We came to Bermuda for the first time and were so pleased with our stay. We are well traveled and have stayed in a variety of accommodations. It was a wonderful spot for our needs. Mike's unit is new, clean and private for his visitors. You have your own entrances, access to the pool and we never felt as if we were in his home, but rather that we had our own apartment. We went away leaving our kids for the first time and wanted a private, quiet..just "us" vacation. No fighting over pool chairs, etc. Perfect spot for us! The pool area and its views immediately make you forget your work and stresses at home. Breakfast outside, nightcaps, dip mid day…all at your doorstep! This positive cannot be emphasized enough. This is why you choose this spot. The house inside is newly renovated/built and you can enjoy this as well. He has the basics for you, beach towels, bath towels. Nice additions in the kitchen too that you would forget at the market (i.e. coffee filters, coffee, tea, olive oil, pam spray). You bring the rest to your liking. Mike is available if you need for any help or questions, etc. He has maps and a binder for you to get some ideas from. Bermuda itself is limited in maps available, so I would print some basics from home/google maps of close ups of each Parish. As to location…know where you are staying. It is less traveled and more secluded, but no less beautiful than other parts of Bermuda…I think you need a scooter to not feel remote. Scooter into St. George's easy & close. They will deliver it & pick it up for you at his place and I would highly recommend this. I wish I had done this in advance as we had 3 short days & why waste the time. Scooter down to Hamilton or the south beaches a good 45min away but hear this…you are on the East end. Cooper's island is spectacular. Beaches, views..unbelievable. St. Catherine's beach and Tobacco bay just as amazing. Easily you have 2 days worth of activities on the east end to enjoy. Then spend your other days on your mini road trips. Bus, ferries, taxis all other options. Just more $$ (taxi) or much more time consuming than we could afford. It is romantic and fun to explore where you want to go on your own. For this the location/scooter works for us! Don't forget to open the windows and enjoy the breezes that come through the bedroom. While you just gaze at the beautiful views all around you! Thanks for a wonderful stay! and I hope others enjoy the same!

Absolutely stunning!!!

We have been coming to Bermuda for over 40 years. We always stayed at the Palmetto in Flatts until the property changed and were made into condos. We then cruised mostly. We finally found our new home here at Mikes beautiful apartment at Near Escape. We were picked up by Mikes driver as a courtesy which made it so easy after spending time at the airport for covid testing and having to wait in your residence until you get results was a pleasure. Mike gave us links to order our groceries and they arrived promptly. The whole apartment is comfortable and beautifully designed. Everything is thought of. It was so easy to make meals in the kitchen that even had a dishwasher! We had total privacy and the pool all to ourselves overlooking the most magnificent views. Seniors looking for a beautiful stay that is typical of Bermudian hospitality this is the place! Honeymooners, this is the place to enjoy your new life together that is romantic and private yet easy enough to get around. Thank you Mike for extending your home to others. Dawn and Ed

Hidden Gem

There is only one word to describe this property......AMAZING! This is my "go-to" property whenever I travel to Bermuda. The views from the property are superb and one of the best beaches in Bermuda is just a short walk away. Accommodation-wise, it's super clean, really cute, comfortable, and spacious which is super nice. Also, if you decide to rent a Twizy, there is a plug for charging right outside the home. Lastly, Mike (the host) is simply amazing! We can't wait to come back next year! Britt + Fuad

The most beautiful location

What a gorgeous property! We were thrilled with the location. The view is absolutely amazing. Accommodations were perfect for just the 2 of us, and Mike was a great host! Twizy rental was super easy & having a charger on site was key—we drove everywhere and saw the whole island. Nearby St. George’s is just a lovely waterfront town where we went to eat & walk around often, and it’s only a 10 minute drive from the house. Similarly, amazing beaches at Cooper’s Island, that we had completely to ourselves, were only a 7 minute drive away. We loved the house and the location and would definitely stay again! Thanks Mike!

It was transformed from a a forgotten jungle ruin to a modern day home and guest rental that you now have the chance to enjoy.
