Our second stay here living as a native, not a tourist.The snorkeling across the street was superb, like swimming in an aquarium where the fish swim right up to you.I particularly love the sunrises. The moped racket disturbs the peace at times, but particularly quiet when there are no ships in town. It seems to be the ones with broken or modified exhaust pipes that are the problem.This propertwas particularly clean this year and the addition of a water cooler was appreciated.

The location and private beach and dock access were fantastic. Public transport was accessible and convenient. Use of the kayaks and paddle boards were a bonus. We had a bit of a pest issue that could have been handled a little better considering the inconvenience.

We loved our stay at Watford Studios! We had plenty of space to spread out as a family of 4. We enjoyed swimming off the dock and splashing in the close private beach. The bus and ferries were so close and we were easily able to get around the entire island. Christine was so kind to drop off groceries for us before we arrived! The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had what we needed to make some meals at home. The view was phenomenal! We would love to come back and stay there again in the future!

There is always a balance. Fancy interior and basic outdoor or basic indoor and amazing outdoor?If you are looking for a regal palace when you walk in…this is not the spot for you. If you are looking for amazing views, fishing and snorkeling right outside your door this IS THE PLACE. The house is clean and the AC in the bedrooms work well. The beds are comfortable, The bathroom though the only one worked for my family of five, The provided air freshener was really appreciated. The walk across the street to the private beach is short. You do look at the ferry building/platform..it’s pink. My sons and husband fished every day and every night. We saw stingrays, sea turtles, crabs, parrot fish, puffer fish, jacks…a nature show from the BBC right in your backyard. Everyone is friendly. You can walk(there is a sidewalk) to the small town for a couple of restaurants. The grocery store is a little further and no sidewalk all the way to it.You can rent a boat and pull right upto the dock in your backyard. Don’t rent from BDA. Rent some scooters and have a ball running to the dockyard and eating a hearty pie at the Frog and Onion. You may be lucky enough to have Patrick as your bartender. If nature is your jam this place is your happy place.

Wonderful location, great outdoor space on the water. Sleeping comfortably for 4. Kitchen lacked a few things, but otherwise had what we needed. If you are a typical VRBO family and want to stay away from the cruise ship crowds, this is perfect.

This is our second time in this beautiful property and we are planning to be back again in the future. Everything was great, we spent most of the time fishing from all spots around and our best luck was from the bridge in the evening time. Highly recommend.

Loved this magical cottage! The view of the sound was even better than expected. We basically lived on the second floor terrace when we weren’t out. A few kitchen basics to get you through some light cooking when you don’t want to venture out. You can get groceries delivered from a local grocer. And of course, Christine was a lovely hostess. Easy to reach, communicated well, and overall super kind.

Great location - moments from two bus routes and the ferry (which runs to hamilton in mornings and evenings). The dock meant we could get picked up by boat! We used the cove every evening - incredible sunsets! This end of the island is gorgeous!! Itwas easy to get in and out of hamilton and ferries from nearby dockyard make the whole island easily accessible. And loads of facilities at dockyard make it easy to go on boat trips, hire jet skies or kayaks. The cottage itself is spacious and cool. Good kitchen facilities, plenty of hanging space, super clean, huge beds! We would def stay there again!

Great trip to Bermuda

Good place right on the water, next to the ferry to Hamilton and walking distance to some beaches. Great for a short trip to get some beach time and see a few of the sites on the island. Place was clean except for dirty floor. Sports club nearby that was advertised appeared closed.

Great property in a great location. Steps away from the bus stops to the dockyard or the southern beaches. Also steps away from commuter ferry that can be taken to Hamilton. Taxi’s constantly driving by and easy to access. Beautiful waterfront and small private beach very short walk away. Property is a little outdated but has a great deal of character.

PERFECT location

We spent most of our 4 days lounging around the patio and dock, swimming, snorkeling and fishing. The view is so beautiful. We saw tons of sea life and enjoyed watching the boats and people. Christine and family were lovely and helpful. Such a bonus to have our groceries delivered by Christine. Such a fun and relaxing vacation. Thank you so much!

Overall good place and location

Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 young children) enjoyed our stay. Easy access to Dockyard, Somerset and Horseshoe Bay by scooter or bus. Ocean swimming off the dock at the back of the house. Kitten cookware and utensils were all fine. Some repairs needed to faucets and light fixtures but manageable.

Great little oasis in Bermuda's west end

This is a great little spot, perfect for four people. The best snorkeling of our trip was right off the dock and our boat tour captain dropped us off at the cottage so we wouldn't have to bother with a taxi back to the property! The convenience was awesome. The kitchen and breakfast bar suited our needs and between the porch and the little deck, we had all the outdoor space we could want. Christine was so nice and thoughtful and the property was clean and neat for our arrival. Would highly recommend.

Hidden Gem

The cottage was absolutely perfect. Beds were comfy, kitchen well stocked, perfect location with amazing views. The cottage location was close to bus and ferry service. Several restaurants were within walking distance. We ordered groceries before our arrival, Christine picked them up and had them at the cottage prior to our arrival. Christine was a lovely host. I plan to return with my husband.

What a beautiful place. My wife and I celebrated our 40th anniversary from 8-7 to 8-14 2017. We loved this unit. We were right on the ferry dock and the bus stops so travel was a snap. The cool breezes off the sound were so refreshing in the evenings when we would sit out enjoying the moon rise. I would recommend this unit to anyone. Christine was very helpful and a wealth of knowledge. We will be back and will stay here. Bob and Debbie Pennsylvania

Perfection on the Great Sound

Our family had the most wonderful time in Bermuda thanks to Christine and her fabulous rental accommodations. The place was clean and laid out perfectly for our week long visit. The bus stop is very close by and the dock and beach areas were great for snorkeling. We even took out their small kayak and toured around kings islands and mangrove bay, sighting green sea turtles aplenty along the way. Sunrise view from watford studio 2 was remarkable every single day and I got some really great time lapse videos of it. Sunset was really spectacular from the beach side. Our hosts were welcoming and warm, giving us good recommendations for dining out and transportation. We are looking forward to visiting the islands again and staying here.

Stunning views!

Even though the rental could use a bit of a facelift, we still had to give it 5 stars. Firstly, Christine is amazing! She’s responsive, helpful and gave us our space. She even picked up our grocery order before we arrived for us so we had food in the house! At one point we couldn’t get the TV to stream, so she brought over HER own for us to use for the week! The views were incredible. The views from the property are gorgeous- and the private beach just across the street was wonderful The ferry and bus are steps away, making it easy to get around. We had a serene and enjoyable stay.

First time VRBO users vs all inclusive or cruises, but that anxiety didn't last long. Loved the acccess to busses and ferries and the supermarket was well within reach with a bus stop right there.Christine even offered to pick up groceries and put them in the refridgerator for us, but we didn't know what we wanted and planned on eating out alot..Having a private dock and beach was a plus.Very secure and we never even locked our doors.Another very pleasant thing was how kind the locals are, young and old alike. They are so polite and helpful with each and every encounter.Super quiet at night and the sunrises and sunsets were amazing.We had a prior booking that we had to rebook due to 2 hurricanes that stuuck at the same time and Christine refunded us instantly and accomodated us for the 10 days the folloring week.What a beautiful time of year October is here, hard to belive its only 1.5 hrs from home.Just far enough away from the cruise ships and crowds also.We booked another 10 days before we even left, it was a great experience for us first timers.Can't wait to return next fall.

Beautiful Views!

We visited for a wedding at nearby Cambridge Beaches and this location was perfect. Though there was a little bit of a walk in between, we enjoyed walking from the condo to the resort all weekend. Bermuda requires visitors to be tested for COVID upon arrival at the airport and you are not allowed to leave your residence until your results are returned. Ours didn’t arrive until midnight, so we would have been bored and cooped up in a hotel room… but this rental has access to a private beach and dock on the water where we were able to sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery and ocean breeze. It was lovely! Christine was also easy to get in touch with and very helpful, which is really important when you’re in a country you’ve never visited before. 👍🏻
