About this property

Pictures Don't Do This Chic Waterfront Escape Justice +EV Charger❤️

#NearEscape is a chic waterfront apartment overlooking one of Bermuda’s most idyllic settings, just off the Narrows – a picturesque waterway that is truly a sight to behold!

This modern 1 bedroom apartment offers the comforts of home in a very special corner of paradise. So your experience is as magical as the views, we include:
- Free wifi
- Parking for scooters or Twizy electric vehicles (tourist mini car rentals)
- Private patio area
- USB chargers (just in case you forget yours)
- Internet TV with Netflix, Hulu and Amazon TV ready to go (an amenity you won't find almost anywhere else)
- airport pickup

A home purpose built for any one who wishes to 'get away from it all.' Enjoy Bermuda's beauty from this private escape and choose how connected you wish to be. The apartment includes internet access, internet tv, dvd, fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave, a large shower.

And even better, you will be picked up at the airport by one of Bermuda's finest cab drivers and be welcomed to your holiday retreat (travel from airport to your vacation home included in the rate).

For travellers not as familiar with the island, here's some very helpful information on its location. The property is geographically located in the eastern part of the island. While this may not appear to be "central" it is actually located minutes away from most of the key attractions visitors to Bermuda come to enjoy, including our famous pink beaches, Crystal Caves, the town of St. George's, water sports, horseback riding, fabulous restaurants, spas and everyday conveniences like fully stocked grocery stores. If you want to get away from it all but still be close o it all, this is the perfect place to be.

Hamilton is a 25 minute drive away and for $4.5 for a ferry token, even the extreme western end of the island, where you find the Royal Naval Dockyard, can be reached in 45 minutes or less. As public transportation is found in close proximity to the property, many guests have enjoyed the property's amenities and Bermuda by exclusively relying on these services. If, however, this is not for you and you plan to rent a scooter or Twizy, please know that the property offers both serenity and easy accessibility - the best of both worlds.

Guests who have stayed at Near Escape during a full moon have witnessed the splendor of mother nature's celestial showcase like few places can offer. Book your stay around these dates and you will be in for something magical for sure. The full moon calendar for the year is as follows:

St. David's Amazing View
We have been to Bermuda many many times and this was one of the best places we have stayed. Mike was a wonderful host and made sure we had a great stay. It was nice to stay at this end of the island away from the cruise ships and crowds. St Georges has lots of unique places to eat, drink and explore. Thank you Mike we will be back.

Beautiful view and lovely place
Everything was very modern, clean and neat. The view is beautiful and outdoor pool was refreshing. The location is further from Saint George’s activities than we have stayed before so plan to have a Car or at least a scooter, or call for taxis (only cash) or a hike to the nearest bus stop if you plan on going into St George’s or traveling throughout the island. No problem if you intend to just stay on site for a lovely, relaxing vacation.

beautiful unit and view of bay
modern unit that is attached to owner house where and his dog lives. The unit was very clean adn decorated well and iin a modern style. the view was fabulous and the pool, was nice and shared with him as its on his home property. the Unit is in the northern part of Bermuda which was nice if you like some isolation but also harder to reach other areas of the country as the buses are inconvient and toursit cant rent a car. We used a gypse cab driver , Gladwin, cell 441-705-5018, often and probably costs as much as a car rental , so that was good. The food stores are not close to walk but there was two restaurants in walking distance. the owner was very gracious and helpful with travel advice . would recommend highly.

Amazing location and host
This was the perfect place for our Bermuda get away. Location and view was spectacular. Mike is a wonderful host! He even set up a taxi to pick us up from the airport, who I must say was also of great help. Everyone was so accommodating. We will definitely be returning.

Absolutely stunning!!!
We have been coming to Bermuda for over 40 years. We always stayed at the Palmetto in Flatts until the property changed and were made into condos. We then cruised mostly. We finally found our new home here at Mikes beautiful apartment at Near Escape. We were picked up by Mikes driver as a courtesy which made it so easy after spending time at the airport for covid testing and having to wait in your residence until you get results was a pleasure. Mike gave us links to order our groceries and they arrived promptly. The whole apartment is comfortable and beautifully designed. Everything is thought of. It was so easy to make meals in the kitchen that even had a dishwasher! We had total privacy and the pool all to ourselves overlooking the most magnificent views. Seniors looking for a beautiful stay that is typical of Bermudian hospitality this is the place! Honeymooners, this is the place to enjoy your new life together that is romantic and private yet easy enough to get around. Thank you Mike for extending your home to others. Dawn and Ed

Hidden Gem
There is only one word to describe this property......AMAZING! This is my "go-to" property whenever I travel to Bermuda. The views from the property are superb and one of the best beaches in Bermuda is just a short walk away. Accommodation-wise, it's super clean, really cute, comfortable, and spacious which is super nice. Also, if you decide to rent a Twizy, there is a plug for charging right outside the home. Lastly, Mike (the host) is simply amazing! We can't wait to come back next year! Britt + Fuad

The most beautiful location
What a gorgeous property! We were thrilled with the location. The view is absolutely amazing. Accommodations were perfect for just the 2 of us, and Mike was a great host! Twizy rental was super easy & having a charger on site was key—we drove everywhere and saw the whole island. Nearby St. George’s is just a lovely waterfront town where we went to eat & walk around often, and it’s only a 10 minute drive from the house. Similarly, amazing beaches at Cooper’s Island, that we had completely to ourselves, were only a 7 minute drive away. We loved the house and the location and would definitely stay again! Thanks Mike!

Just perfect
Where do I start... mikes place is just breathtaking. From the views in the morning to the sunset at night, just beautiful. Mike was an amazing host, gave us tips and ideas of where to go and eat, and his recommendations are great! The pool is fantastic to swim in after a long day of snorkelling and sunbathing on the many beautiful beaches Bermuda has to offer. Check in process was very easy, and the taxi driver who picked us up from the airport is simply the best. An added treat to the villa is Karma the dog! She truly made our holiday ;) My partner and I had the holiday of our lives. Thank you so much Mike for letting us stay in your beautiful house and seeing the true Bermuda. We will certainly be back! Give Karma a treat from us! Love Laura & Rob

We had an awesome time. Thank you, Mike!
This property was exactly what we were looking for. The apartment is modern, comfortable, and very well set up. It was peaceful and relaxing. It was wonderful having the pool. The views across the bay to St. David's lighthouse are picture-perfect. For us, the location on St. David's Island, away from many of the busier areas on the island, was a plus. There are several great beaches just a few minutes drive away. We rented a Twizy for our stay, and it was great to have the charging station onsite. While the property is on the east end of Bermuda, it is very easy to travel everywhere on the island, and we did. Mike is a great host. He was there when we needed him, but gave us our privacy. He was always very helpful and responsive to emails. His lovely dog, Karma, is supper sweet and was never a problem.

A wonderful long weekend
The house and Mike, our host was fantastic. My wife and I arrived late and Mike arranged for an airport pick up and Mike also had bought some coffee and pastries for our first morning. We walked to the nearby lighthouse and then came back to enjoy our view over the bay. The photos on the website are accurate but the breeze with the view are better than the photos. The house itself let's you open french doors in front of the bay and get the same view as from sitting out side. The finishes throughout the house are tasteful and nicely installed. The rain shower feel luxurious and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need for cooking a meal and making a nice cup of coffee from the coffeemaker. We rented a Twizy and Mike has installed two charge outlets so it was super convenient to keep the Twizy charged up. Mike greated us the first day and when we left my wife left her eye glasses. Mike arranged a convenient way to pick them up just completing a great visit. We will be back! Karim

David R., Bainbridge Island WA

Not exactly as advertised, disappointing
Charged $40 for airport pickup (5km away) driver did not turn up so after waiting 15mins in 90deg heat had to take a taxi. Property is on St David’s (Not St Georges Island), no restaurants/shops etc in the area except a pizza place. The apartment has a small a/c unit in the kitchen/sitting area but not in the bedroom which was unbearably hot, opening windows just lets bugs in. Owner adamant that unit is airconditioned as advertised and if it was too hot for us we should not come to Bermuda in the summer time. Washing machine and dryer are not in the apartment, owner advised us there is access somewhere elsewhere on the property, we chose not to use them. Owners dog is let out in the evenings and early morning and barks outside the apartment, not a big deal for us as unable to sleep because of the heat but would likely bother some renters. View and pool are great but would not return, all complaints made to the owner were responded to as being the fault of the renter. When written complaints were sent the first night owner knocked on the door at 11pm wanting to come in and state how he thought complaints were unjustified. Received a cancellation notice from owner on the 4th day of our occupancy (we were leaving the next day) when asked for clarification was advised that he did not owe us an explanation, have reported this cancellation notice to vrbo.

25th anniversary
Near Escape is a great place to spend time in Bermuda. We had everything we needed for our trip. Mike was an excellent host and helped us out the 1st night when we couldn’t get a taxi by calling his friend who took us into St. George in his personal vehicle. Coopers island is a 20 minutes walk away it is beautiful there with a few small beaches that you will have mostly to yourself. We rented a twizy to get around the island it was very convenient to have your own transportation and a fun way to get around. The pool was great to jump into after a long day at one of the beautiful beaches in Bermuda. Mike’s place was the perfect way for us to celebrate our 25th anniversary

Nice place, great host
The property is lovely. If you are looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful setting, this is a great spot. Pool is great. Views were awesome. If you're looking more to see the sights, just be sure to book some type of transportation as the place is a bit remote. If you have a scooter or Twizzie, you're less than 10 min from anything you'll need. Overall, great experience. Would book again.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
From a child the owner knew that this would be the place he wanted to build his home. This chance came in the early 2000's when he purchased the property and finally completed building in 2012. It was transformed from a a forgotten jungle ruin to a modern day home and guest rental that you now have the chance to enjoy.

Why they chose this property
