Lorna and Greg are so friendly and helpful, they really made us feel welcome and answered any questions both before our stay and during. The situation of Gemstones is beautiful, wonderful views - we saw whales passing by! - and right by the beach. We recommend the Henry VIII restaurant, a very short walk away.

Don’t hesitate just book it !

We spent four nights at the Deckhouse before moving on to a different parish. Wow just wow we loved it. Lorna, her son and daughter whom we met were all lovely 🥰 her hubby Greg was out working but we got to try his famous pancakes for breakfast. We were very busy during our stay and crammed loads in. We visited the St Gibbs Lighthouse and climbed the 185 steps to the top. Visited Henry VIII restaurant which was a nice meal, went to Coconuts at the Reefs BBQ which was exceptional and we highly recommend. Walked from ours to horseshoe Bay beach and all the other coves in between as far down as Long Warwick Bay tiring but stunning. Hired a twizy and did so much in one day Coopers Island, swizzle inn, baileys ice cream parlour, Crystal caves and tobacco bay snorkelling exceptionally long day ! Loved the Twizy and would recommend but prob best for petite ladies as not much room in the back. Crowning glory was Crossbay Beach and as we visited most of the beaches on the south shore we both thought this was the best. The scenic, solitude of this beach was amazing. We will be back and want to bring our family from the UK and stay in the largest villa Gemstones. Wow can recommend the deckhouse for two as even though it’s a smaller place the bed is super comfy, shower powerful, very clean and superb position. Don’t hesitate ! X

Little Gem of a place

We booked this for a week holiday and it was lovely. A lovely view of the 2 bays and only few mins to one of them and its lovely beach - there are steps, but even with a dodgy knee, I could manage it. There are plenty of chairs, noodles etc for use on the beach which was a great feature. Deck house is a studio- and was very clean. Although small, the kitchen was well equipped for the size of the place and had what we needed for a few days. The bed was new and comfortable, the bathroom functional and clean and plenty of storage space. The TV had lots of channels. For me, given the potential for showers in Bermuda so you couldn't always sit out, it missed indoor comfortable seating- but that is my nit picking and the layout of the studio was not really suited for this. Lorna and Greg were great hosts, friendly and informative and overall I would not hesitate to recommend this place or to visit again.

Deck House in Bermuda

We spent a week at the 'Deck House'. It was a wonderful place to stay and the location was awesome. Lorna was very friendly, helpful and provided us with many suggestions on things to do and places to go. The views from the upper deck were amazing and we enjoyed many meals outside looking at the views and listening to the ocean. I would definitely recommend this apartment.

Amazing!

This property is exceptional. From our initial stages of searching for a property to pre-visit questions and arrival on the property, it was seamless. Lorna and Greg are very kind, exceptional hosts and we chatted with them often. Greg is an expert on island food, and Lorna gave us helpful advice on where to go, how to get there and general island knowledge. We enjoyed seeing them every day, and wouldn't hesitate to go back. The view from the property is stunning and the private beach was perfect!

Very nice

The location is a little off the beaten path and relatively quiet/private - which we liked. The view of the water and beach below is absolutely beautiful. You have access to a semi private little beach down below, with a wonderful view on the terrace to sit and eat breakfast. Lorna and her husband are very friendly and kind.

Beautiful Bermuda!!!

We had a fabulous stay at Lorna's property! First trip to Bermuda and couldn't have asked for anything better. Beautiful view of ocean, easy beach access, bus stop at the "top a de hill", great location, excellent host! Accommodations were wonderful, comfortable bed, ocean view and sounds of nature....had everything we needed. Several restaurants within walking distance. Henry's pantry has the best chicken leg and egg roll, perfect to eat while watching whales from the deck house patio! Lorna was very accommodating from the time of booking, providing transportation information (Belinda was great taxi service), and making check-in/out a breeze. Perfect home away from home! Bermuda is such a beautiful island, people are friendly, lots to see and do. Hope to come back with our family and stay in the main house. Thanks Lorna for a fabulous stay!

Lorna, the property, the beaches, and the island are amazing! If you want to go to a nearby restaurant or grocery store, call Lorna’s transportation, contact Belinda Wilson and her husband Ed. Schedule them in advance and they’re great. “Hitch” is their Uber and it is horrible!

Photos do not do it justice

We stayed for 8 nights, the property is simply incredible. The views are breathtaking and it's about 1 minute from one of, if not, the best beach on the island. We went all over and couldn't find a beach we liked better.100% recommend to anyone that wants an excellent location and a wonderful host.If we ever come back to Bermuda in the future, we are definitely going to be looking at Gemstones again.Thanks for a wonderful vacation Lorna!

Special place!

The moment you drive down the driveway and see the amazing ocean views from the house you know you’re staying somewhere special! We stayed in Studio By the Sea which was a lovely apartment with very comfortable bed and kitchen that has everything you need to prepare a meal. Our host Lorna makes you feel very welcome and was extremely responsive to our communications. She generously allowed us to park our two seater EV next to the apartment and charge for free. We would happily stay there again if we return to Bermuda someday.

Deck House is heavenly!

Deck House exceeded my expectations in almost every way - very clean and well maintained, accurate description, plenty of amenities/kitchen tools/beach supplies, incredible views, beach path ease, and the loveliest hosts. Lorna and Greg were so welcoming and kind, happy to chat but respectful of solitude, and helpful with any needs. Even the towels and toilet paper were of high quality! The bay's water is calm and protected, with clear water and plentiful reefs for excellent snorkeling, and the pink sand is the softest of landings. If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing time, this is THE place!

Perfect vacation!

Everything about our stay was perfect thanks to Lorna and Greg. The location, views, beaches, and hospitality of the Wilsons all exceeded our expectations. We rented a Twizy for the duration of our stay and were able to park it right in front of the Deck House. Everything we needed for our stay was provided - beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, etc. It was also a pleasure getting to know Lorna and Greg, they are wonderful people. I highly recommend staying at the Gemstones and hope to be back!

Relaxing beachside stay in Southampton

Lorna’s property is beautiful and inviting. The unit is fully-stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay (don’t forget to bring your own soaps/shampoos, though). Cross Bay Beach is steps away and is a quiet, private oasis with great snorkeling just a few meters from shore. I gave the location rating 4 stars because in hindsight, I would have preferred to stay somewhere with more dining options within walking distance, but I thoroughly enjoyed the quiet, slow pace in Southampton (having Henry’s across the street was convenient). Lorna was a friendly and helpful host.

Best Stay at Gemstone for Peace of Mind and Beach in Bermuda

The experience was wonderful. The place is much more beautiful in person than on-line. Lorna was a fantastic host. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked with items you really need for a comfortable stay. The beach is so close and beautiful with views from the deck of the studio. Hands down, this is my best stay in Bermuda, and I have been coming to Bermuda almost every year. Loved it! Thank you Lorna

Lovely Stay with Private Beach :)

We absolutely loved our stay at The Deck House! The studio layout was perfect for us, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. They even provided us with complimentary snorkel gear – perfect for exploring the beautiful private beach right out front! :) There's one minor thing to consider: the driveway is a bit steep. However, the bus stop conveniently located at the top makes getting around a breeze. Taxis can also easily pick you up there. Overall, The Deck House was a fantastic place to stay!

About the host

Hosted by Lorna Wilson

My husband and I have managed and operated our vacation rental business for over 6 years and has recently redesigned our lifestyle to include in our rental pool our studio apartment. We have been married for over 30 years with two adult children and our newly added gem BELLA (our granddaughter). I was born in Jamaica, but my dear and most talented husband, who is also Gemstones Private Chef is Bermudian to the core. Mention Greg Wilson to anyone on these shores and they would more than like know him. Highly respected. I am your contact person when booking Gemstones and I will guide and direct you towards one of the most enjoyable vacation experiences. Welcome to Bermuda. Our island home.

Why they chose this property

Gemstones is a property that has all the qualities for large, medium and small families to enjoy. It is tucked away in an area of Bermuda called the Gold Coast overlooking the prettiest Private Beach called Crossbay Beach. Imagine someone placed you in the middle of the best resort area and said "have fun". The best restaurants, the kindest neighborhood, your own private beach with nature at it's best. You are right in the middle of three of the finest resorts Bermuda has to offer. All you have to do is bring your own groceries. You awake to the ocean and the sound of chirping birds everyday. You look out to sea and is amazed that God has created so many shades of blue. In the warmer summer months Longtail birds fill the skies. In the later evenings as the sunsets you watch the large cruise ships sailing on the oceans. Stay a little longer and you will be hypnotized by the beacon of Gibb's Hill Lighthouse.

What makes this property unique

Private beach with three access, quiet, many restaurants to choose from. Gibb's Hill Lighthouse just a very short walk away. Bus stops at the top of the hill. Friendly neighborhood with neighborhood watch. Whale watching from your patio. Random fireworks display from neighboring hotels.
