About this property

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 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 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.

Blissful Bermuda Getaway

Great stay with Jo and Jonah (and Abby, Sammy and Anna!). They were fantastic hosts providing a charming spot to call home for a week. The Mews was the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation-property was lovely with an easy path to the beach. We spent lots of time reading on the beach, wading in the beautiful blue water and ending the day by grilling dinners in the lovely garden. We rented a scooter next door at Cambridge Beaches and explored the gorgeous island but loved coming back to our home away from home. We can’t wait to come back!

Perfect Oasis

We had the most fabulous stay at Sea View, everything was available to make your stay comfortable, the back garden was a lovely sun spot late afternoon when you could soak up the last of the sun perfect. The short walk to the beach made our day each morning. Buses 7 and 8 are only a 5 minute walk from sunview along with the local supermarket. Jo and Jonah were the perfect hosts along with the dogs. We would definitely return.

Relaxing, quiet, and convenient

Quiet, lovely, close to buses. Lots of space in the flat, well appointed, good kitchen/bathroom/living space. Comfortable access to property (bikes, kayak, garden etc..).We found the buses were the best connection to good beaches, but the local area was nice. It was good to be away from the road, and away from all-inclusive. It felt like home.

Definitely going back!

This is a beautiful cottage with a large bedroom, nicely decorated bathroom, large great room equipped with a spacious desk and comfy furniture, and an equipped alley kitchen. The grounds are beautiful, and the cottage is just steps from the private beach. Our hosts are warm, accommodating, delightful people. Bermuda is filled with gorgeous scenery and friendly, people. We will be back!

Returning to Paradise

We were once again enchanted immediately upon entering the grounds at Sea View on this, our second visit, to Bermuda and Sea View Mews. The magic of the island is on display everywhere, from the gardens, pristine beach and the interior of our cottage, where Jonah’s art recalls the natural beauty of sea and landscape. The cottage is becoming a home away from home for us, allowing us a respite from the harsh Canadian winter. It is well appointed and welcoming. New windows let in more light and restful sights of the luxuriant vegetation in our private garden. We enjoyed exploring new plantings on the property as well as a new pond with a bubbling fountain. Jonah and Jo are charming hosts, attentive to our every need. Cassie once again made the cottage sparkling clean and took care of us throughout our stay. The dogs welcomed us back joyfully and kept us entertained on our walks in and out of the property.We will be back for more, of course.

Absolutely wonderful cottage, garden and location!

The gardens are breathtaking. A gate a short distance from our cottage door takes you directly to a sandy beach that is shared with the resort next door (which has several restaurants, a spa, and microcar/scooter rentals). We loved spending time with Jo and Jonah's dogs Sammy, Abbie, and Anna. The cottage is lovely and the walls are covered with Jonah's amazing paintings. It was private and quiet and not far from a grocery store. The people of Bermuda are among the kindest people we have ever met. Jo and Jonah were very helpful. We highly recommend and hope to return at some point in the future. They even have a charging station for our microcar which was very convenient! While the cottage is on the northwest tip of the island, it is only a 45-50 minute drive from the airport.

Holiday bliss

We don’t know where to start it was so fabulous. The hosts were so lovely and helpful, the cottage was perfection and the location spectacular, and we say that despite gale force winds and bands of rain. No matter to us. We enjoyed just being snug on the comfy couch reading a good book! Thank you Jo and Jonah❤️

Amazing rental!!

This rental is top-notch. The host helped us arrange for a taxi to pick us up from the airport. Essentially a full kitchen with gadgets (gas stove/oven, blender, toaster, coffee pot, french press, espresso machine), which we enjoyed making meals at. They had boardgames, puzzles, ect for downtime while on the island. They even had snorkeling gear in the closet for guest to use. The immediate back yard to the rental was space for us to use. We sat on the loungers and watched the stars at night. They had an outdoor eating area and a grill for us to use. The beach was one minute walk away and had calm waves. We were invited to use kayaks and bikes on the property. The host were warm and welcoming and very prompt with questions over messages. They had dogs which we loved to invite into our area of the property. The dogs often joined us for morning breakfast and coffee. If you keep the gates closed, the dogs cannot get into the area. Overall 10 out of 10 experience! I will definitely be retuning and booking this rental.

Bermuda Dreaming

Jo and Jonah were great hosts. The property is better than described. We had access to bikes, kayaks, the beach and the knowledge of the island from Jo and Jonah. They were quick to respond and gave us great directions to navigate the island. We truly appreciated there hospitality. Access to the beach was incredible along with close proximity to the resort next door. When we get to Bermuda again this will be our choice location. Thanks again for a great trip.

Best Experience Ever

Jo and Jonah were amazing hosts and I feel like I have friends forever! The cottage was exactly as pictured and even better than I hoped. My little private garden of beautiful flowers welcomed me in the morning for coffee and in the evening for wine. The beach was amazing and they supplied beach chairs, towels and an umbrella! I was a single person on vacation and felt very safe and at home. Would recommend to anyone wanting such a peaceful and beautiful location for vacation. Thanks Jo and Jonah. I'll be back!

Great! Well appointed, clean

Close to Cambridge Beaches property so easy to get around. Host was very good with communicating and friendly. House was clean and nicely styled. The only feedback given was to have the walkway better lit in the evening with motion light and to cut back some of the trees to make it more accessible, but other than that we would stay again! It is a great spot and friendly host.

A wonderful experience

This was our first time to Bermuda and we couldn't have found a better place to stay! Quiet, beautiful, spacious, clean and private, only 2 min from the door the beach (we timed it)! A short walk from the grocery store, a few restaurants and the bus stops, it is a perfect base to relax and from where to explore this wonderful island! Above all, our hosts were great: friendly, interesting and attentive. They made us feel right at home (except with palm trees, water with myriad of shades of blue, and perfect weather - at least during the one week we spent there). Highly recommended if you want to r e l a x !

About the host

Hosted by Jo

Host profile image
Originally from the UK, Jonah & Jo have lived in Bermuda for over 30 years. Jonah is a well-known local artist working in oil paints and Jo works in the reinsurance industry. We love living by the water and participating in water sports such as snorkelling, kayaking and swimming. We are keen cyclists and so know every inch of the island! We have two dogs, Abby the Dalmatian and Sammy the Cocker Spaniel.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house after renting it for 5 years and just love it. The garden setting is so private and tranquil, but it is just a few steps from the beach where we get the most beautiful sunsets. The house is a little slice of Bermuda history and we are proud to be taking care of it and sharing it with others to enjoy as much as we do.
