We went to Bermuda to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We didn't want to stay in an impersonal resort, so we looked for something different. What we found was incredible. This cottage is everything that we could have wanted; cozy, comfortable, well-located, and with a wonderful sitting area on the water looking out over a marina.
More important than the cottage itself is the incredible service provided by the host, Thomas. Thomas was in regular communication before we arrived, arranged our taxi from the airport and for other purposes, and made a run to the grocery store for some food for our first evening. He was always available, but never in the way. We just cannot say enough good things about Thomas as a host.
Some additional context. Our anniversary night dinner included our two sons, who flew in from the US just for dinner, surprising my wife (as planned). Thomas also helped with those logistics by making sure they were picked up at the airport on arrival, suggesting a place for them to stay, and arranging that they would get to the restaurant before my wife and me, so they would already be seated. It worked perfectly, and Thomas was a big part of the reason. What an amazing surprise for my wife and evening it was for all of us!
The cottage is exactly as pictured, well stocked with all we could need, clean and ready for us on arrival. There is a private patio for early morning coffee and son, and great bathroom with an excellent shower and soaking tub, a full kitchen, dining area, and living room. It sits off a main road, but we never heard the traffic.
The cottage is located outside of any town. This makes it very peaceful, although you need to be comfortable with the bus system (stop is right nearby), or willing to spend money on taxis (which are pretty expensive), or have your own transportation (scooter or electric vehicle.)
We rented a Bermi electric car from Localmotion on Happy Valley Rd. It was amazing. While a bit pricey, the car allowed us complete freedom to drive throughout the country without the fear we would have had on scooters. We did scooters years ago, but the traffic these days makes them much less of an option for us. And as an added bonus, the cottage has an electric car charge point that works with both Bermi's and Twizzy's (and maybe others). This is the best way to see the off-the-beaten-path beauty of Bermuda.
If we could, we'd give this 10 stars. The best experience we've ever had with a rental!
