Our 1 bedroom apartment is in a meticulously maintained home on a quiet residential estate road. Prettily furnished, it is designed with the visitor in mind who is coming for more than a weekend. The homeowner prefers visits of a 7 days or more.
The bedroom, on the lower level and accessed by a flight of stairs has a double bed. The bath has a tub and shower in addition to the customary facilities. The kitchen has full sized appliances and dining facilities for up to 3 visitors. Air-conditioned and with heated closets, this comfortable sun lit apartment awaits you. The gardens are very attractive with places to sit and rest, and on the other side of the property are wonderful vistas of the Great Sound. The apartment is in an excellent location for walking up to the famous Gibbs Hill lighthouse and its breathtaking views. The lighthouse has a nice tea room and a gift shop too as a reward for all that stair climbing! You can also walk over to the South Shore in ten minutes or less to admire South Shore beaches or hike along the cliffs. Port Royal Golf Course, the Southampton Princess Course , Riddell’s Bay Golf Course and the Belmont Golf Course are all nearby. The charming hamlet of Somerset Town is 10 minutes away with shops and cafes, and just beyond the town is the 200 year old Naval Dockyard, now converted into a museum and shopping concourse with pubs, crafts market, a para-sail operation, charter boats, beach facilities, etc. Ferry service back into Hamilton is regularly scheduled in addition to the bus service. There are very elegant hotels and fine dining available at this end of the island as well - one does not have to go into Hamilton to enjoy a good meal or cabaret. Down the hillside and along a winding path is the entrancing Church Bay. With wonderful rock formations offshore for spectacular snorkeling and powder soft sands for children to play in, this beach needs only a picnic and a good book to make it perfect. The fabled Horseshoe Bay and East Whale Bay are five minutes along the South Shore Road, which is well served by public transit. There are fine restaurants at the Southampton Princess Hotel, the Reefs and at the Waterlot Inn. Casual dining can be enjoyed at the Henry VIII, Whaler Inn, and Rising Sun restaurants, all nearby. The closest beach would be Horseshoe Bay and your closest golf course would be at the Southampton Princess.
The town of Hamilton is about 20-25 minutes away by bus, less by moped. One does have the attractive option of going over to the Belmont Wharf on Harbour Road for a jaunt across the harbour by ferry as well. Reserve a day for the extensive Maritime Museum out at Dockyard on Ireland Island. There you will find meticulously restored historical buildings, craft shops and art galleries, pubs, cafes, shops and fascinating displays of items from Bermuda’s extraordinarily colourful past..
Electricity costs 330 per cent more in Bermuda than in the USA.
