Charming Private Cottage by the Beach

Sea View Mews is a newly-renovated cottage in a lush, private garden setting, just a few steps from the beach at Cambridge Beaches. It has one queen bedroom with en suite bathroom, fully equipped kitchen with gas stove, microwave, dishwasher and coffee machine, a large living/dining room, a beautiful walled garden with sunken dining area and BBQ, outdoor shower and direct access to the beach. There is a charging point for Twizys and other electric cars and plenty of parking. There is super-fast Wifi, perfect for your work-from-home respite in Bermuda. We have incorporated green technology - solar power and water filtration system for a comfortable, guilt-free stay!

There is a bus stop and supermarket a short walk away, as well as the other amenities of Somerset Village. Guests can use the restaurants and spa at Cambridge Beaches hotel, a short walk through the garden gate. You can also rent water sports equipment, mopeds and electric cars close by.

You will have complete private use of the cottage and garden during your stay.

We have Ollie the Jack Russell Terrier, Abby the Dalmatian and Sammy the Cocker Spaniel on the property, so you must be dog-friendly :). They can be kept out of the private mews garden if you wish. We welcome you to bring your dog with you, but have to say no to cats.

We provide beach towels, beach chairs and umbrellas, snorkelling equipment, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, washer and dryer. There is air conditioning and fast WiFi (500mbps) and redundant capacity with two separate networks - one fibre, one wireless.

We are located in the heart of Somerset, in a private 2-acre property set back from the quiet Cambridge Road. The historic Naval Dockyard and the South Shore beaches are an easy bus ride away, or you can nip there on your moped or Twizy. Ferries run from nearby Watford Bridge to Hamilton in the morning and afternoon and from Dockyard all day.

We provide bicycles you can use to explore the area, including the nearby tranquil Railway Trail. We are both keen cyclists and can provide recommendations for places to visit by bicycle.

Jonah is an artist who has his studio nearby and you are welcome to visit. Jonah's work can be seen at Jonah-art

Sea View has an interesting history of creative people who have lived there which can be seen on our website at Sea View Bermuda.

We are happy to answer any questions you have about the property or Bermuda in general and will do whatever we can to make sure you have a wonderful stay.

Magical garden by the sea
A very unique property at the West end of the island. The cottage is attached to the main house but enjoys its own entrance and large private garden. The garden is home to birds, butterflies, and flowers. The cottage is immaculate, simply and freshly furnished, fully airconditioned. The beach is an easy walk through the gardens and is a shallow sheltered north west facing beach. The very nice high end beach restaurant Breezes is also right next door and makes for a lovely sunset dinner venue. A great place for complete rest and relaxation away from human noise. Day trips are easy to arrange by taxi or bus. Jonah and Jo were very friendly but also very respectful of privacy. Highly recommended.

Peaceful and beautiful
Jo and Jonah were fantastic and very welcoming! The Mews is lovely and private and beautifully furnished! The gardens are incredible and the short canopied walk through foliage to Long Bay Beach, a delight! Highly recommend this property for Bermudians (like us) looking for staycation or visitors.

Amazing !
No words can do justice to this place, but I will try ! I have worked in travel for over 35 years and during this time, I have been fortunate to be a guest in some of the most beautiful places in the world and I have to say, this is up there with the best! Maybe it’s the fact that the cottage we stayed in (Sea View Mews) is beautiful, the gorgeous Cambridge beaches beach is metres away, there is a fabulous restaurant within easy, very safe and flat walking distance, the hosts are extremely thoughtful, both in terms of what they supply in the cottage and even offering to take us to the supermarket for supplies (you can walk it in less than 10 minutes anyway but much appreciated for a big shop) and very much on hand, but in no way invasive of your privacy. I have preferred my stay here than in many 5/6 ? star hotel, cruise ship I have ever been in/on. To put the top hat on it they have two dogs who have stolen our hearts, Abby and Sammy who we would adopt in a flash! Thank you Jonah and Jo, you have been amazing !

A hidden gem!
I thought of the Mews as our secret garden - all walled in with flowering shrubs, the great kiskadee's singing and of course the tree frogs at night. The rental and owners are exactly as described by so many others, so I won't repeat what has been said. We'd never stayed in this part of Bermuda and fell in love with it and would stay again in a heartbeat. The private beach just steps through the garden was heaven on earth, although in May the water was still a bit cool for my tastes. You can still sunbathe and be amazed at the beautiful colors of the water. The walk to the Marketplace and bus stops is about 4/10's of a mile. We seemed to go daily for one thing or another. We discovered the one in Hamilton is huge and has so much to offer we took a trip in one day to buy our dinner and bring it back. We love taking the ferries, but they are hard to catch with limited schedules. A bus runs in either direction every 15 mins. The rail trail was a great walk and we discovered a short cut from the bus stop across from the store through the Springfield & Gilbert Nature Reserve. We highly recommend just walking around the area an exploring because you'll come across beautiful vistas and lovely spots to take a break. You can't go wrong staying at the Mews while visiting the island.

Little slice of heaven!
We were delighted with the accommodations, thrilled with the outdoor space and so well taken care of by Jo and Jonah! The beach was literally 50 steps away! The public busses and ferries are so clean and easy to use! The 2 bikes they provided for us were great bikes and perfect for the Railway trail...high end gas grill for fresh seafood...nothing was done cheaply! Highly recommend!

Beautiful Cottage, Great Location, Awesome Hosts
Ditto all the other previous accolades about how wonderful Jo and Jonah are, how sweet the cottage is with the private walled garden and short walk to the ocean, and how nice it is to be away from the bustle of Hamilton but still on the bus line. We totally concur! I study these reviews and read between the lines. I’m picky. This place did not disappoint. Therefore let me add a few other helpful insights to make your trip a success. This is Bermuda and concessions must be made. We knew prices would be high so we packed our own coffee and tea, oatmeal, dried fruit, and nuts and ate breakfast in our sweet cottage everyday, supplemented by delightful baked items from Da Island Shack that is within a 10 minute walk (just past The Marketplace grocery). The Shack also makes reasonably priced and hearty sandwiches if you are on the go. We picked those up several days and took off on the bus for a day of exploring. If you want your towels to dry out before your next shower in this humid environment, you’ve gotta keep the doors closed. Get a multi day bus pass and don’t bother with tokens, correct change, or zone passes. Absolutely skip the scooters and little cars. The roads are much too narrow and curvy for non-native drivers. Don’t hesitate to ask the bus drivers for advice about stops. They are so nice. Take time to talk to the regular Bermudians you pass on the street. All so friendly! Yes, go ahead and book!
