About this property

Stunning sunsets, turtle watching, longtails wheeling and glow worms ....

Sunset Studio is located on the western edge of Sugar Cane Beach looking out across Mangrove Bay towards the west. It is 10 minutes from Dockyard and 15 minutes from the main beaches.

It is a single room studio unit with a loft space for sleeping, modelled on the tiny house concept. There is a full king sized bed in the loft area, together with small built in closets either side of the bed. The living area comprises a corner sofa unit that can convert to 2 single beds. The kitchenette is a very compact “galley” style kitchen that has a full stove, under counter fridge/freezer, toaster & electric kettle. Flat screen TV in lounge and loft area with fire tv and firestick, internet access, air-conditioning throughout. The bathroom has a large shower.

The unit has direct access to our beach and there are also stairs leading to the waters of Mangrove Bay on the northern boundary. The patio area overlooks Mangrove Bay on the Northern side of the unit. On the Southern side will be a sheltered garden with a bar-b-que area (once the landscaping is finished).

The exterior of the unit is designed to resemble the wooden cottages built in Somerset in the late 19th – early 20th Centuries, by West Indian workers who were brought to the Island to work at Dockyard. [For further information see Bermuda’s Architectural Heritage Series: Sandys by the Bermuda National Trust]

Please note the loft area will be accessed by a compact staircase and may not be suitable for individuals with mobility issues.

Closest to the an over water bungalow
This house has 2 sets of stone steps- 1 leading to the water and 1 leading to a beach. There are paddle boards at the house to use. The bus stops are not far away. However the bus doesn’t allow big suitcases on them so you will probably need to get a taxi to and from the airport. Christine came and met us to show us around and make sure we were settled. She is great and the place was great. Would definitely go back again!

January Holiday
This cottage is absolutely stunning! Just what we needed for a romantic getaway on the edge of the ocean. Completely private and had everything. So convenient to everything if you want to venture out, but we rarely did because there is no nead to leave. Owner was great and the entire process was very easy.

This property needs some repairs and upgrades. The location is beautiful. It is very near the bus stop and ferry so it is a great location to get around. The host was responsive enough. In all honesty we would not return.

Tranquility At It’s Finest
Amazing location in the most peaceful of settings. I stayed here for five nights and enjoyed it the fullest. You are just feet away from the water each morning you open the front door. There is so much to take in and experience. I was able to kayak to nearby islands, grill out on the bbq, frequent local eateries, workout at the nearby gym, and enjoy endless sightseeing. I’ve been to over 15 Caribbean islands and this is easily in my top 3 of best places to stay. Loved every second I was here.

Better than we expected!
This spot is a GEM! Not only is the property gorgeous and on the water, but we were surprised at the beautiful deck furniture, a fire pit, snorkeling gear and a paddle board! Our host was very communicative and offered great information on transportation and food. She even offered to pick up groceries for us! I highly recommend this cottage for your intimate stay on the island!

Epic Staycation
Sugar Cane Cottage was totally amazing, from the Tiny Home to the prestine grounds incl the private beach. The property was clean upon arrival with all the amenities, and within close proximity to Somerset Village, Woody's and Dockyard. Love love love it. Making this an annual Staycay without a doubt!

Fall Break
A short long weekend for our daughter’s fall break gave us an opportunity to visit Bermuda. The location with private beach was beautiful! The water was a little chilly but we enjoyed snorkeling and swimming. Also had a little time to use the clear bottom kayak. Water was a little rough when I was able to give it a try. Would love to e back when I can stay longer during warmer weather.

I heard the angels sing in Bermuda
Our stay at Sunset Studio Cottage was fantastic. We enjoyed our little beach for relaxation and snorkeling. The cottage was super clean, comfortable, and quaint. The views were spectacular from every direction. I'm not a big shopper, but it rained for two days, so we went to the Dockyard. My favorite store is the Craft Market, where I can buy local goods to bring home. Good eats: il Pomodoro, Somerset - great pizza Pastels @ Cambridge Club - fresh fish was excellent, and guac and chips Anchor Restaurant, Dockyard - best fish sandwich and Caesar Mary Wahoo's, St. George's - also the best fish sandwich and dark and stormy Christine, thank you for allowing us to stay with you. This was our third trip to Bermuda, and we can't wait to return. Regards, Jo and Eddie

Awesome view
We did not want to leave!! The tiny house was clean and located in an ideal spot. Easy walk to the buses and ferry. We enjoyed sitting on the porch every morning and night watching the fish go by. Sunsets were amazing. The locals were super friendly!!! Our host Christine took care of our every need. We are now on the other side of the island in St.Georges and missing the tiny house and the hospitality of the locals. Wish we would have stayed longer!

Beautiful Cottage!
This property is absolutely stunning! We had a easy check in process as well as check out. The host was vwry quick to reply - which was very appreciated. Transportation needs are met through the taxi or bus line. One thing i will mentiom is there is not mucj to see "tourist" wise near the cottage Tou will need to transportation to go pretty much anywhere to eat. Again this place is great and well worth the cisit!

Everything was great! Private little beach was awesome , few short steps to the bus stop which was great and the ferry (limited schedule) which worked out perfectly for us going to Harbor night. The property had everything we needed for cooking. We were able to see glow worms right out back which was neat to see. We’ll definitely be back

Stunning
Book it right now. The yard is unreal, 270 degree water views, your own beach basically, take the kayak out the little islands during low tide.. you can pull up on a deserted beach and walk in the ocean. Great host. Did fire pit every night. Can walk to woodys (so much fun) and the restaurants at Cambridge resort, we also walked to the market, to a local gym, wine store, didn’t even use the bus. I couldn’t complain about any minor thing if there were any, with a view like that.. spectacular

This is one of the most beautiful places to stay on the island!! The views are gorgeous and the water lovely for swimming, snorkeling, and paddle boarding. Plus you will not get better care or attention from the owner, if needed. This is our second time here and we will be back! Thank you again, Christine!

To open your french doors and see the beautiful turquoise waters is amazing. The 'Tiny Blue'house was perfect for our stay. It had everything we needed and it is situated on its own beach with chairs, kayak and paddle boards. Christine has a true treasure in this house. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful stay in a beautiful place.
The host communicates well and is very helpful with information to plan a great trip. Second time to Bermuda and this is our favorite part of the island. Relaxed, beautiful and safe. Every local we met was genuine, kind and very interesting making the trip a little bit more special. From this location you can get around easily by taxi, bus and ferry. The view from this property is beautiful. Highly recommend for a couple, having kids there would have been two tight in my opinion since only one bed in loft area (no pullout on first floor). For us, it was perfect.

Spectacular Location and Wonderful Host Made Sunset Studio “Our Home in Bermuda”
The location is ideal, directly on the water with breathtaking views and adjacent private beach, all at the edge of the charming village of Somerset. Christine is a lovely person, committed to ensuring your holiday goes well. The few issues we encountered were immediately addressed. The tiny house was tidy and had everything a couple would need to enjoy an extended stay. We were there for eight nights and felt it was still not sufficient time to take in everything Bermuda has to offer. We highly recommend purchasing a bus and ferry pass, as there are stops for both a short walk from the house. They are efficient and provide the ability to meet very friendly locals. When we return to Bermuda, this property is the only place we will stay. It really is that good.

Disappointing
This is the second time I stayed at the property, and I was hopeful things would be better when I got there. Unfortunately I was disappointed. Pros: beautiful views and great sunsets. Kayak available Owners are responsive and kind Fire pit Bus line close by Cons: Owner forgot I was coming (didn’t have soap in the house, and dropped it off the next day) Bugs: roaches and ants in house Kayak full of sand and unusable (for the second time. Owner did empty it, but it happened both stays) Stairs are just plain scary No place to wash sand off feet outside Street noise No binder of basic information Wi-Fi is not reliable (85 mega bytes per second so lots of dropped calls) Strangers would come on the property which was unnerving Needs work: Put a binder of info together (including Wi-Fi password, how to store the kayak, get bus tickets). Get some storage for the kayak so it doesn’t get filled with sand or float off Maybe have some wood for the fire pit available Check out the Wi-Fi and see if it can be fixed

December 2023 at Sunset Cottage
Upon arriving we noticed a lovely moon gate entrance, then going forward we see siding missing from the cottage, a kayak on the beach largely filled with sand and no raft as shown in the pics. Bermuda often has strong island winds, particularly at the seashore and plenty of rain. Weather is not the owner's fault. We settled inside and found the space akin to a tiny home. We knew it looked small in advance, but we did not know that the internet connection would be so weak, that the only toilet was going to overflow, and the kitchen infested with ants. After a few days and long before our stay ended, we booked elsewhere and left. I wish I had asked for a refund. The site is close to bus and ferry connections. The surrounding seashore is fantastic when the weather cooperates, and you can fish right from the property and nearby.
