Excellent stay at Sandy's
The property was neat and clean and the views were beautiful. There was no need to go anywhere else. The water was like a swimming pool. My hosts were so kind and thoughtful, constantly making suggestions of places I could go and see while I was there. Everything was explained very well upon arrival and I took advantage of the wonderful taxi driver suggested by the hosts which I prebooked prior to arrival in Bermuda. The whole experience was effortless and I cannot wait to return.

Our break from Winter
The facilities were great, just what is needed. Very clean and ample space outdoors to relax and enjoy the beauty of Bermuda. The sunsets were fabulous. The privacy of the location and the seaside view was breathtaking.

Perfect for Snorkeling and Sunsets
This is a great location for a single person or a couple that loves to snorkel. The property has a lawn that slopes down to the water and the reef is available to explore right offshore. The owners live above the apartment and are really helpful if you need them but respect your privacy. The backyard feels very private and is a great place to enjoy your dinner while watching the sun set over the ocean.

Absolutely wonderful
We rented an EV and used this wonderful apt as our home base. The EV charger was such a plus. We already miss having our morning coffee with that view and our evening beverage at sunset. The hosts are wonderful people and the pictures don't capture how great this property is. Fish sandwiches one way, golf and the most beautiful beaches the other. Perfect for a couple.

We arrived just days after a hurricane hit the Island. Ralph and Julie went above and beyond to make sure everything was ready for our stay. We've stayed here in the past and we will stay here again in the future. Can't beat this location!

WREXFORD COTTAGE IS A DREAM
Hosts Ralph & Julie were thoughtful and efficient - and between them, have the most beautiful smiles on record. That said, we had complete privacy during our stay. They called prior to our travel to confirm details, even arranging the best driver on the island, Corrine! The property is staggeringly beautiful. The neighborhood locals were charming and all wished us “Good Day” as we passed their homes on our walk to the bus. I almost don’t want to rave to much as I feel this is a treasured gem I want access to in the future. Our trip was beyond amazing and we are missing Bermuda upon our return. We cannot thank you enough for contributing to some real Life memories.

Fantastic birthday vacation
We had such a fantastic time in our first visit to Bermuda! We ate outside in the backyard on several evenings and watched the sunset. We kayaked and snorkeled and watched parrotfish. It was definitely a blessing to have the charging station at the house to charge our electric vehicle (which we also recommend getting). Ralph and Julie were excellent hosts and we enjoyed chatting with them. We went all over the island but we also spent plenty of time staying in the room. It’s cozy and comfortable and a really great place to relax. We went grocery shopping a few times and brought the food back to make meals in the kitchen. We had everything we needed there. Thanks so much Ralph and Julie!

Peaceful by the sea.
My husband and I recently spent a week at the Wrexford Cottage. Ralph and Julie were extremely kind hosts who take pride in their home and the island. The apartment was clean and cozy and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The apartment was also very well temperature regulated and comfortable which is not always the case in humid climates. The property was quiet and the views were breath taking. From the moment I arrived and looked out at the ocean felt peaceful. We were lucky enough to see parrot fish and eagles rays from the shore. Some of our favorite moments during our week in Bermuda were spent on the lawn at the cottage. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great Location and Great Hosts
The location was perfect for us. A sloping lawn down to the water and easy access to the reefs offshore. The setting was private and quiet, and offered opportunities for casual outdoor dining and nice sunsets every evening. Our hosts, Ralph and Julie, couldn't have been nicer. They were attentive to our needs but respectful of our space. The studio apartment is small but was clean, comfortable, and provided everything we needed.

Heaven on earth
Everything was perfect. The cottage studio was just as described. Julie and Ralph (the hosts) treated us like family. Ralph gave us great recommendations on beaches :) We loved swimming in front of their house and seeing all the fish . We are planning on going back next fall. We spent 10 days at Wrexford Cottage and it was pure heaven

Paradise!
Wrexford Cottage is the best! My husband and I have stayed here twice now, and it only gets better. The listing is accurate and the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s better in person. The apartment is cozy and had everything we needed to cook meals at home and relax. The small reef was perfect for snorkeling around. I’ve snorkeled all over Bermuda, and this is some of the best. We saw all kinds of fish - schools of Parrot Fish, balloon fish, squirrel fish, and a spotted eagle ray are just a few of the things we saw! Ralph and Julie are excellent hosts! We left here refreshed and feeling as if we made new friends. This place is purely magical!

Everything was very nice…the view of the ocean was beautiful. Enjoyed my morning coffee out back enjoying the view. The walk to the bus station was a little long but overall we really enjoyed our stay at Ralph’s place. His wife was very nice too ! Would definitely go back.

Beautiful Bermuda!
The property is just as stated in all the descriptions, simply beautiful. Swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking right from the property...it was everything we thought it would be, but so much more. Ralph and Julie are excellent hosts, very accommodating and available for info and guidance about the island and it's history. Only first-timer mistake on our part was not scheduling a car rental beforehand. It's only 1/2 mile to the bus stop, but it's up a steep hill and down. We did it, but the July heat made it a grueling trek. We'll know better next time. All in all, a wonderful week in Bermuda.

What a Relaxing Vacation!
My daughter and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at Wrexford Cottage. Ralph and Julie were the perfect hosts!! The waterfront location provided the most beautiful sunsets we had ever seen in Bermuda. The neighborhood was so quiet which allowed us to enjoy the singing frogs all night long. We especially liked sitting on what we referred to as our “happy steps” at the water. It was here that we were able to watch the huge parrot fish. There was an EV charger on site which was an added plus since we rented a Twizy for the week. Our stay was extremely relaxing because of our accommodations, location, and inviting hosts! We are already planning to return next year!!!!

Magical Week in Bermuda!
What an unbelievably beautiful place! We had an amazing week's stay at Ralph and Julie's lovely cottage apartment. The vast, unobstructed turquoise ocean was our very backyard! We were able to snorkel in a beautiful little reef just a few fin-kicks from the expansive yard. So much fun swimming with the brightly-colored parrotfish! We even got to see a little sea turtle cross right by in front of us one day. The place was very clean and had everything needed, and the on-site electric vehicle charging station was key to our being able to get around the island all week on a Twizzy. Our friendly hosts provided great advice about places to see and dine, and we enjoyed our chats. We were so blessed to have the chance to stay at Wrexford Cottage - hope to come back some day!
