We had a great stay at this property. Rosalyn was quick to respond to all my questions in advance of our stay. When we arrived, the information binders helped us get up to speed on what to see around the island. The apartment was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook some of our own meals. The property is located close to bus stops which makes travel to beaches and towns easy. It is also a short walk to a small grocery store. A well kept, quiet place perfect for our family.

Owner response:We are so happy you enjoyed our vacation apartment.We have tried to provide everything one would need to have the best vacation ever.Having the grocery store and bus stop so close certainly was convenient for you. We loved meeting your family and hope to see you when you return to Bermuda.

My family stayed at this lovely apartment for 4 nights. It was perfect for us. Bus stop was a few minutes walk, the apartment is very clean, comfortable and has everything we need. Rosalyn and Marshall treated us like real friends from the day we inquired about their property. We had a great time in Bermuda!

Owner response:Thank you for your wonderful review. It was great to meet your terrific family. Next time you need to come for a longer stay so you can catch a bigger fish (smile). We are sure you all had a fun time on the boat. Next trip you might be able to fit in a game of golf since the course is so close.So do come back and we look forward to seeing you again.

We loved it here, 5 minute walk to the bus stop. Rosalyn and Marshall were very nice, personable and accommodating. The property was beautiful. A local restaurant also 5 minutes away called Traditions. We picked up lunch on a few afternoons and went back to the apartment and ate on the patio. This is the way to go to Bermuda. Much better than any hotel room. We would definitely do this again. Tom & Donna - MA

Owner response:Tom and Donna, Thank you for the great review. We are so glad you enjoyed your vacation. We have tried to make the apartment as appealing as possible.Do come back and stay again. It was great meeting you both! Rosalyn & Marshall

Wow, what a great apartment, with even greater hosts! We absolutely loved our stay here in Bermuda. The place was within walking distance of the bus stops, which allowed us to visit different parts of this amazing country without spending lots on taxis. The apartment itself was very clean, comfortable and perfect for our little family. The Minor family was friendly and welcoming. The thoughtful details in the apartment made our trip so easy... from the beach towels and umbrella in the closet to the wonderful private patio area where we ate every single one of our meals. The Minors even include bus passes in the apartment so we could just take those and pay them back... so helpful! We were also able to walk to the grocery store, 2 beaches and the ferry, all from the apartment. We will definitely recommend this place to anyone who is interested in travelling to Bermuda. Bermuda is a wonderful country filled with beautiful beaches, a rich history, and the friendliest people (like our hosts). Thank you for such a magical vacation!

Owner response:Thanks so much for the fantastic review. We are so glad your family had such a great vacation.We did set up the apartment so that it has everything we would want if we were on vacation ,so we are glad you we able to make use of all that was supplied. We want it to feel like your home away from home. Do come back and bring your delightful twins. Regards, Rosalyn & Marshall

Great location, Great apartment, Great Hosts

Guest: Katy & Jeff (New Hampshire, USA)
Date of Stay: 06/27/10 Review Submitted: 07/14/10

We returned from an 8 day stay at the Loquats apartment on July 5, 2010. If we could only have stayed a little longer!! The location is great and as listed in the description very close (easily walkable) to the bus and scooter rental. We have visited Bermuda for the past 11 years and found this apartment to be an excellent choice for lodging. The photos and description and other reviews of the apartment are accurate and it is very clean and well maintained. The walk-in closet offers lots of space and there were all the necessaties available, including extras such as a beach umbrella, rain umbrellas, and even a inflatable tube. Very nearby (could be walked in 20-25 minutes) is the Pompano Beach Club with great ocean and sunset views and two very fine restaurants with entertainment in the bar. Pompano is aware of The Loquats and was even able to provide us free transportation home on two of the nights we visited their Restaurants (no guarantee of this, but they were very accommodating). My wife and I are comfortable on a scooter, but do not like to drive after dark, so this allowed us to scooter to Pompano and ride home. I would walk back to retrieve the scooter the next day. The one night a ride was not available the short scooter ride home was no problem. On longer distance excursions at night we would take the bus and get a taxi home. We enjoyed going to Dockyard (see the dolphins), Hamilton, St. George, and of course the beaches (Horseshoe Bay, Warwick Long Bay, West Whale Bay). We also had two very relaxing evenings enjoying a BBQ in the lovely patio area. Our hosts Roslyn and Marshal were very friendly and had lots of information available including bus tickets for sale if needed. We had a great time and hope to return next year. We would highly recommend a vacation at this property.

Owner response:Katy & Jeff, It was wonderful meeting the two of you.Thanks for the great review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and we certainly look forward to you coming back again. We enjoyed chatting with you in the evenings. There will always be a place for you at "The Loquats". Rosalyn & Marshall

Wonderful quaint cottage within minutes of everything

Guest: Patrick (Toronto)
Date of Stay: 06/19/10 Review Submitted: 07/28/10

We stayed at the Loquats cottage next door for 4 days from June 19th to the 23rd. Well loved our stay in Bermuda. The cottage was more than adequate with air conditioning (thank God!), a full kitchen, BBQ and a television (the World Cup was on and we didn't want to miss it!). Marshall and Rosalyn were excellent hosts, constantly ensuring that we were comfortable. They had bus passes and information about the island readily available for us on arrival. We loved our stay in Bermuda and will definitely be back. In comparison with the prices that the resorts were asking, this cottage was a true bargain.

Owner response:Thanks for the great review Patrick, We sure enjoyed meeting the two of you and are so glad the cottage worked out well for you. You must come back again and enjoy all Bermuda has to offer. This western end of the island definitely makes it easy to access everything. Rosalyn & Marshall

Just returned from an incredible week in Bermuda. This apartment is exactly as advertised, a wonderful experience. The owners are friendly, personable fun people, Thanks guys! We had a ball! The apartment is clean and everything works. WiFi, cable TV, newer appliances, etc.... Location is great! On Southampton/Sandy's Parish border, overlooks the 4th green at Port Royal golf course. Awesome course but bring your A-Game! Grocery store, bike rental, Ferry all within walking distance! We'll be returning to this place and you should not hesitate. It's a winner! Thanks Rosalyn & Marshal! Rudy

Owner response:Hey Rudy and family, It was so great meeting you guys. You sure were the adventurous ones. You did it all! You forgot to save us some of that fish you caught! (smile). Looking forward to when you all come back. Maybe Marshall will be able to play some golf with you next time. Thanks for the great review. Rosalyn & Marshall

I stayed at this apartment from May 21 to June 12, 2010. The apartment is nicely furnished, well maintained, and is in a quiet location. Access to the bus system is a short walk away as is a nearby grocery store. The apartment is accurately reflected on the website. This was a wonderful experience for me in an incredibly beautiful location and with wonderful hosts! Thank you, Rosalyn and Marshal!

Owner response:Thanks Rene for your great review. We sure enjoyed meeting you and getting to know you. Please come back and bring your family and friends. After all you really are "Bermudian" now! All the best, Rosalyn & Marshall

We stayed at apartment in mid May 2010 and were delighted by our hosts , who were very gracious and helpful. Theapartment is actually larger than it appears on the site. Plenty of closet space and well appointed. Choice of 2 privat patios on either side of apartment.Next time we go back to Bermuda , Loquats will be our first choice. Great location also!

Dear Traveler's My grown son and I chose to stay at this location and it was totally accurate...very clean, very cheerful decorations and you get a washer and dryer with it and a kitchen...the green of the golf course is as close as they show you ....the owners, Rosalyn and Marshall are very , very dear.. and if you ask them a question they are most helpful........the bus line is within walking distance and it is charming to walk by the very friendly neighbors and the golf course. Take bus to anywhere on island, that is also the adventure....the pink bus ride! Sincerely, Clara and Mike p.s. the beach called Whale Bay is most wonderful, right near, and Rosalyn has left a huge notebook in the apt. of things to do and how to get there.

Owner response:Clara and Mike it was so great to meet you. You guys were so friendly, positive, and full of energy. You seem to have seen the whole island while here, even though you only used public transportation. You must return one day and bring the rest of your family. We would love to meet them. Mike, keep practicing that golf swing and you might return to play in the PGA Grand Slam of golf on this course!! Thank you for your great review. Rosalyn & Marshall

We were at this lovely apt. the first of June. It met all our expectations and more.It was clean and had eveything to start a wonderful stay. The view to the golf course was great in the morning with my cup of coffee. Close to the bus line and grocery store. The owners are wonderful and provide lots of information to see and do on this beautiful island. Would gladly go back and stay again. Doug and Connie Shutts

Owner response:Doug and Connie, we certainly enjoyed meeting you and are glad you had a great vacation. We would love to see you return in the future.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this clean and well-appointed apartment for a week in March 2009. Everything was as advertised and our stay was without incident. The owner is available but not at all intrusive. The apartment is a ten minute walk to the bus stop and taxis came within ten minutes when called. The Reefs and Fairmont Southampton are a short cab drive away and have a number of very good restaurants. Our 12 year old son and we enjoyed playing mini-golf at the nearby Golf Academy. It was a relaxing family vacation.

Owner response:Thank you for your response. We certainly enjoyed meeting you and are glad you had a great vacation.We look forward to hosting you or your friends in the future.

The apartment was perfect and I must compliment them on their good taste and attention to detail with regard to finishes and furnishings. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and found the apartment to be quiet and quite self sufficient. The location is ideal for spectacular beeches, fine dining as well as touring the Dockyards and riding scooters to the Dockyards and taking the ferry to Hamilton which was a piece of cake.
