Property Information |

An outbuilding of the 200 year old house next door, the old structures has had its 12 inch thick stone walls restored with dedication and attention to detail, to become the comfortable new cottage it is today. Of particular interest is the fact that the town of St. George has now been declared a World Heritage site.
Good shopping, restaurants, the waterfront, museums, churches, beautiful beaches and the St. George’s golf course are all located within walking distance. St. George’s has every convenience for the visitor combined with a beautiful harbour setting. There is a mini-bus service provided in the St. George area for a nominal charge, and the main bus service is about a 5 minute walk and will take you to all points on the island. For the independent adventurer, there are several cycle liveries close by for those wanting to rent scooters or pedal bikes. Boat and land tours are available as well and a ferry service runs Monday to Friday between St. George and Dockyard. Dockyard is splendid collection of buildings dating from the early 1800’s used by the British Navy to re-provision their ships. Now converted to museums, shops and artisans studios, a trip to Dockyard is a must- and to get their by ferry will combine the pleasures of a cruise, with stunning scenery and a fascinating glimpse into Bermuda’s colonial past.
The air conditioned bright and airy cottage comforts include a queen-sized bed with a ceiling fan overhead. There is a kitchenette comprised of an under-the-counter refrigerator with an ice compartment, a large toaster oven, microwave, hot plate and coffee-maker. It is fully equipped with dishes etc. The room also offers a table with two chairs for dining-in, a couch, colour cable TV, radio/alarm, an ironing board/iron, telephone (calling card access for overseas calls), and a bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer. There are sliding glass doors leading outdoors into the garden patio area… The room is tiled in Mexican tile and has a high open-beamed ceiling. Ample linens are provided including beach towels. Maid service is not provided, although for stays of one week or longer, fresh linens are provided twice weekly. There are 'glimpses' of the ocean from the cottage - and just a walk to either end of the lane affords spectacular views and the fading glory of the evening sunset.
Local Stores, etc. Somers Market Across the bridge to Main Street and turn right, 50 yards to junction. Open 8a.m. to 10p.m. On Sundays you cannot buy alcohol in stores. Nearby is Robertson’s Drug Store, the Post Office and two Banks with 24 hour ATM’s. The Visitors’ Information Centre at Café Latte on Water Street is very useful with plenty of information.For unusual souvenirs or gifts try “Seaglass” or “Amos Art Studio”, both located at the western end of Water Street, the narrow bricked street leading west from the town square and opposite Dowling’s gas station.
Internet service is available at Cafe Latte, also on Water Street or, if you have a wireless laptop, try near “Tavern By The Sea” and, anyway, you should be able to pick up a wireless DSL signal in the apartment.
HOLIDAYS! – Alcohol may not be purchased from stores on Sundays so you need to shop on Saturday for necessities to last until Monday or beyond any holidays. On holidays stores, Banks and Post Office are closed. Public Transport operates on Sunday schedules on holidays. : Taxis are available (call 296 2121) but are expensive and you need to order well ahead, especially if it is raining. Bus service to and from Hamilton is good and cheap. Bus # 10 or #11 from the bus stop outside the liquor store on York Street above Cafe Latte- about 300 yards away.
Electricity costs 330 per cent more in Bermuda than in the USA.

Beaches: some of the finest in the world and nearby too! In St. George’s you can walk over the hill to Tobacco Bay, Fort St. Catherine beach or discover the tiny Achilles Bay at Blackbeard’s Hideout. Alternatively, a 10 minute taxi or mini bus ride will take you to Southside (former U.S. military base) and Clearwater beach as well as Turtle Beach. Make arrangements for return transport. Further afield, along the south shore in Warwick and Southampton Parishes there is a string of connected beaches including Horseshoe Bay where there are refreshment and changing facilities. At any of our beaches always obey any warning signs posted during stormy weather.

“Café Gio”. 50 yards up Water Street. Popular with locals and visitors. Semi casual, indoor/ outdoor, reservations essential.
