About this property

Spacious Beachfront and Private Resort living

The Deck House is located at the lower Western end of the same property as our listing 396719, with VRBO. Entry is through French doors which opens onto it's own private patio. Upon entry into the apartment the kitchen is fully equipped with a stove, full refrigerator and a queen size bed to accommodate 2 guests only. As you gaze out to sea, this unobstructed view of the south shore leaves you in “awe”. If you yearn for peace, tranquility and space you have come to the end of your search. This reverse air conditioned unit has a separate bathroom with shower. Laundry facility on site which makes your vacation perfect. This resort area has the finest restaurants and a major bus route for convenience at the top of “de hill” all within walking distance. As you step out your French door you walk straight into our fruits, veggies and herb gardens. Our chickens will provide you with fresh eggs....NO roasters. You will be grated by the lovely sounds of the ocean and the many birds especially the kiskadee birds and the moorning doves. Yes, your own prinvate beach to enjoy – Crossbay Beach only steps away. The flight of steps immediately to the side of the unit take you to Deck 80. This large open patio elevates to a common area which is unobstructed, overlooking three beaches, Princess Beach Club and the Reef's Resort. Perfect for Whale Watching (seasonal) and taking in the best sunsets. Welcome to Bermuda. Come and "feel the love".

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The unit/property was exactly as pictured/ described, the vibe is chill, the views are amazing. This is a slice of heaven. Communication was excellent beginning at the moment of booking. Host is super responsive, immediately answering any questions, providing property info. - also totally accessible during our stay,The unit, while small, is very efficient, has a perfect layout, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We are "beach people", this beach is amazing: very quiet and the sand and water were incredible. We chose to cook and eat on-property, maximizing the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful setting and views. The kitchen was fully stocked for any meal, the grill a perfect supplement. Short walk up to the street to grab the bus in either direction is a piece of cake, making getting around super easy (get the Shorelink app).The hosts were the absolute best—so friendly and accommodating, incredibly welcoming! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are dreaming about going back!

Sarah and Bill are easy going and adventurous beach people. My favorite kind of guests. 💕 You were blessed with a week that went from good, better and best. You shared pictures of places I haven't been since we got married and I sent you pictures of the humpbacks playing in our front yard of Gemstones. Even through you took a peak in all our units with yours being the smallest, I am glad you appreciated it's value. Nicer the nice, higher the price. At Gemstones you will get value for your dollar. DON'T GO INTO THE CITY you will be shocked. You will always experience a Best of Bermuda lifestyle when you find us. Guaranteed. The rest is up to you. It was a pleassure sharing our home with you and your Dad and look forward to meeting your family. Until next time. Stay safe. Blessings

Most of the time we are privileged with lovely guests that once Greg get's chatting he cannot stop. I have to remind him that our guests are here for a minute and then they have to go. Next thing he is wiping out the barbeque and there goes your dinner reservations. It was really nice having you back again. And you brought a friend to dive into our world. How wonderful was that. Thanks for choosing us again. We will grow old together. lol

We stayed for two nights. Of the three rentals we stayed at in Bermuda, this was our favorite. The hosts were very accommodating and the unit was clean and as described. The private beach was just a short walk down the stairs, and it was beautiful and empty in late October even though the weather was perfect. The location is great on the southern shore of Bermuda for all the stunning South beaches. We had a rental car and it was easy to park there. Next time we visit Bermuda we will definitely stay here again if available.

We loved our stay! We stayed at a nearby resort last year & Lorna’s Gemstones property hooked us in 100%! The view was unbelievable, private beach, directly on the bus route, and a 3 minute walk to Henry iiiv restaurant which has became one of our favorites (sushi was amazing!)! Close enough to horseshoe bay, where we also had a delish lunch at the Gulfstream Restaurant!We absolutely hope to return to the Deck House! Our room was small but perfect and we needed nothing else! Bed was comfy, AC worked great, filtered water, beach towels & toys.

This is a lovely property that has all basic features and amenities for a casual comfortable stay. The location is out of this world-overlooking the ocean with just steps down to a secluded beach that feels almost like a private beach. The hosts are very welcoming and accommodating. We look forward to booking with them again. It was an absolutely incredible summer vacation.

Our busy, brave, bikers. I can honestly say I was scared for this couple as I watched them maneuver their mopeds over the week they stayed iin the Deck House. Since our hill would have been extremely challenging for them to walk it was apparent they had made a good choice. Not only that but I was relieved that they were great bikers. PLEASE keep in mind an EV may have been a better choice. It was probable a better deal renting 2 bikes compared to one EV. I am so glad we had no incidences. Only the oil spill. 😃 Last time you brought the entire family. How did our tiny living compare? PEACEFUL right!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Lorna Wilson

Host profile image
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.
