Great convenient spot!

Pembroke villa is in a great location to get from one island to another. Our family walked from the house to downtown Hamilton everyday, sometimes more than once! Once in Hamilton, you can catch a bus at the station to anywhere on the island. The house was clean with plenty of room for our family of 4. Thanks to Steph and Paul for being great informative hosts!

Perfect

Reviews did not do this property justice. House was perfect. Spotless, well equipped, and comfortable. Much bigger than pictures depict. Paul and Steph were amazing hosts who thought of every detail! Welcome bag was such a thoughtful gift. Nice walk into Hamilton. Walked to dinner every night. Convenient store around corner had everything we needed. Water shoes are helpful to have if you want to jump from cliffs. We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely stay in Bermuda

We enjoyed our stay here. We had plenty of room to spread out. The hosts were great. Paul gave us a tour of Hamilton and took us to the grocery store day one. We loved our welcome gift. The house has everything you need for your stay. We felt like locals. We walked to town or took a taxi (via Hitch) to get around. We rented Twinzy’s for a day to experience the island. Bermuda is a wonderful place and I hope to return soon!

What a fabulous stay at this wonderful property...

This is a not to be missed venue for anyone visiting Bermuda. Steph and Paul are amazing hosts who made our stay truly memorable. This property is immaculate and so well appointed. Moreover, it's just a 10 minute walk to the bus station in Hamilton where you can catch a clean and comfortable bus to any part of this beautiful island. Front Street offers a variety of restaurants which are great but a bit pricey. However, it's just a 5 minute walk to a well stocked supermarket where you can pick up basically any food items to cook your own meals in their spacious and very well equipped kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home and will definitely return some day. Thank you, Paul and Steph, for your kindness and hospitality!

The hosts with the most!

Great time! We couldn’t have asked for better hosts than Steph and Paul. They were responsive to all our needs and went above and beyond. The location is great with walking distance to downtown and some northern beach spots. Prices are high so we appreciated the ability to eat in. Toured the whole island mostly by buses which were easy to utilize. The island is one of the most beautiful places on the planet!

Sisters in Bermuda

This was only our second time trying this type of accommodation and we could not be more pleased with how Steph and Paul greeted us upon our arrival and communicated with us prior to and during our stay at Pembroke Villa. They were so helpful in taking us to pick up some necessities as our flight was a late evening arrival. They also provided us with many suggestions of things to do and restaurants to try. We loved the size of the villa and our ability to spread out and enjoy our living room, dining room and kitchen area. Steph and Paul made our vacation so easy from start to finish. The only tough part was leaving!

Beautiful spacious home

Everything you need for a nice comfortable stay. Large rooms, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable lounging area. I walked into Hamilton each day for work (~15-20 mins). Very easy walkable area. Note that the owners live in the unit attached. Very kind gracious hosts, even provided me a nice welcome gift upon arrival!

Wonderful Experience

Where do I start, the hosts were amazing, so kind and courteous with great communication from start to finish! The location was great, we had 3 grown sons with us and they loved being able to walk into town about 20 mins. and explore Hamilton. The house was also perfect for our needs. One of our sons took advantage of the pull out couch so he could spread out. We loved the patio area too as we could eat outside on 2 of the nights we cooked at the house. Or to just relax inside or outside was convenient! Perfect spot for all our needs. One of the best vacation rentals we've had in a long time! Thank you Steph and Paul

Family vacation

We have been to Bermuda many times but have never stayed in the Hamilton area or a VRBO here. Best decision ever! The apartment was absolutely wonderful- classic Bermudian architecture , tastefully decorated, and well appointed to meet all of our needs. The hosts, Steph and Paul, were wonderful as well, providing us with a welcome gift bag and a trip to the grocery store as well as helpful with tips for the neighborhood. The apartment is located in a very walkable neighborhood- easy to get to outbound bus stops and a quick walk in to town to the main bus depot as well as restaurants and shopping. We also walked to the rail way trail and Admiralty House for some fun adventures.

Classic Old Bermuda Home-totally updated.

I have been coming to Bermuda for 45 years but have never stayed in such a beautiful, traditional home. It has been lovingly restored with everything you could possibly want. Plus charging for the very fun twizy car. The Mathews are wonderful hosts and are there for whatever you might need. If you want something special this is it.

Bermuda Stay

Pembroke Villa was exactly what we were after for our stay in Bermuda. Comfortable, spacious, private, yet all close to Hamilton. We had everything we needed at the property and close convenience of grocery shopping. We sat indoors and outside to eat, the bedrooms are a distance from the Kitchen and noise did not travel. Everything about the property met our requirements. The hosts were great with communication and hospitality and I look forward to coming back in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Steph Matthews

My husband and I were both born in England and moved to Bermuda 30 years ago. We purchased Pembroke Villa in 2017 - an old Bermuda house with much character. It is perfect for vacationing families and we are excited to share this wonderful home, and all we have learned about this beautiful island, with visitors to Bermuda.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property as soon as we saw it! We love old Bermuda properties - and this was everything old Bermuda! Full of character, spacious rooms with high ceilings and set on 0.5 acres of land with beautiful planting’s in the garden - you will enjoy a feeling of space and privacy and will never know you’re so close the City Center! We researched the history of the property to discover that only two families had owned Pembroke Villa since it was built in 1903 - both with fascinating stories which we continue to research. We are proud to be Pembroke Villa’s family number 3!

What makes this property unique

Pembroke Villa is conveniently located close the City Hamilton, Bermuda’s capital. A 12 minute walk, at a comfortable pace, will bring you to the City Centre - shopping, restaurants and public transport to any location in Bermuda at your disposal. A short 5 minute walk in the opposite direction will bring you to Bermuda’s beautiful North Shore. Ideal for swimming and jumping off the rocks! To the property’s East, and approximately a 3 minute walk, is Bermuda’s National tennis stadium - perfect for any tennis enthusiast. In summary, Pembroke Villa is perfectly located to experience and enjoy all aspects of Bermuda life - Bermuda truly is another world!
