Historic 1780’s Beach House with Large Veranda! Nestled on Cambridge Beach!

Kitchen with oversized stove and oven, 2 x large fridges & two dishwashers as well as all the kitchen &equipment you will need to prepare a gourmet meal. Two grocery stores are a 5 minutes’ walk down Cambridge Road. Bus stop is 5 minutes’ walk. Air conditioning in all bedrooms. Stainless BBQ, large enough for a meal for 12 people. 2 x 55 led TV'S. Outdoor showers. Comfortably decorated and renovated with all the modern conveniences, the gracious old Bermuda home is a wonderful venue for a family reunion, or a getaway for friends who want to enjoy a tropical setting.


West End: Interesting places to see in the vicinity would include Dockyard. The extraordinary installation features a collection of spectacular buildings erected for navy re-provisioning in the very early 1800?s. The Maritime Museum out at Dockyard on Ireland Island has fascinating displays of items from Bermuda’s extraordinarily colorful past, fully restored. The Commissioners House is an iron structure with the most commanding view of the island to be seen anywhere- from end to end. Other handsome buildings now house art galleries, museums, cafes, artist’s workshops, theatres and pubs as well as a major ferry stop that will whisk you into Hamilton and on to St. Georges. Heading east by road towards Hamilton, you will be charmed with the town of Somerset- it has a post office and pharmacy, nice places to dine and little shops where you can re-provision while admiring the views and the mangrove-edged beach. Ely’s Harbour at Somerset Bridge has a small marina where you can rent boats and explore.

Railway trail / Restaurants: The Railway Trail is nearby as well, and offers a peek into Old Bermuda, as the trail wends away from the main road and past some fascinating old homes and farms with jaw dropping views. The grand beaches at Horseshoe, Warwick Long Bay and Elbow are a short bus or moped ride away and some are serviced public beaches with cafes, beach chair and umbrella rentals available. The Watford Bridge terminal is half a mile walk away. The local Supermarket is close by as well and spirits are sold until 9pm, and groceries can be purchased there until midnight or at the 24 hour store just 2 min walk. Casual dining can be enjoyed at the “Frog and Onion Pub” Bonefish Grill, Amicci's 10 minutes away at Dockyard or next door at the resort at Breezes on the outdoor beach restaurant. There are several take out options in walking distance right here in the village, and or you can get delivery service

Boat rentals: There is a boat rental a minute walk down the street at the dock in Mangrove Bay. Lasers, kayaks, Boston Whalers and all the snorkel gear you’ll need for rent is available there.They have experienced staff ready to advise you on the best cruising itinerary for the water sports adventure of your choice, with great fishing spots, waterside restaurants, ship wreck snorkeling, island picnicing and all kinds of water toys and more

We recommend Oleander Cycles as they have a kiosk next door at the Cambridge Beach Resort and Spa.

The house has two plugs to fast charge the electric rental cars, and I'll provide more info on transport and rentals once you've booked.

This house has a great historic Bermuda vibe while having all the modern amenities. The layout is awesome. A 3 bedroom configuration in one wing is great for a family, then several bedrooms in the front part of the house and then another 3 in the downstairs layout. It was great for the 3 families we had on our trip! the check in and check out process was so easy. Air conditioning in all the bedrooms but note that there is not AC in the front common rooms. Not a big deal unless you are going in the hottest month of Sept which we did. It still stayed pretty cool with a Bermuda breeze the whole time. This property is right on the edge of Cambridge Beach Resort which worked out great for us as we had the rest of our family staying there. We rented bikes from the place on the resort, the boat rental place H2O is right down the road, and the market is a short bike or cab ride down the road. The beds were super comfortable and well stocked bath and beach towels were on hand. We loved our stay!!

This house was perfect for our family of 6. We had a wonderful week-long stay. Ben was an incredible host - picking us up groceries bcs of our late arrival and providing a pack and play and high chair for our infant. The house and property were beautiful and the neighborhood is fantastic. The closest beach is a very short walk from the house (closer than some of the accommodations at the neighboring resort). The property is also within easy walking distance to restaurants, a nice grocery store and 24/7 convenience store. There are plenty of beaches within easy walking distance. The closest beach is actually the nicest but it was fun to explore the area and have some variety within walking distance. Thanks Ben for the beautiful home and your amazing hospitality!

Great house for large groups

Nice, spread out house that provides indoor and outdoor space to congregate but also privacy in bedrooms and bathrooms. 2 minute walk to beach with chairs and umbrellas and 5 minute walk to Somerset long bay beach. Walkable to good size grocery store, a few takeout restaurants and bus stop. The nooks and crannies of the property are amazing. Hammock, moon gate, benches, outdoor showers, so many birds and gorgeous lush foliage surround the house.

We enjoyed our stay at Cambridge house and would stay again. Some of the furnishings need to be replaced and a bit of freshening up would take it a long way. It was very convenient being next to Cambridge beach resort we ate a lot of our meals there and enjoyed the beach chairs and umbrellas. You can not see water from the property but is a very short walk to beach. Everyone was incredibly nice and helpful and the properties yard was fun with all tropical plants and tropical birds Rooster wasn’t our favorite but we liked the baby chicks with their mom. If you are looking for a very relaxing vacation and don’t need to have five star plush this home is fun and has a lot of personality.

Fabulous Location for a Family Reunion

We just spent five days at Ben's house in Somerset and had a magnificent time celebrating my mother's 85th birthday. We were a group of 12 of all ages coming from different countries and the house fit us perfectly with everyone having their own rooms and bathrooms. Comfortable bedding and towels for all. There were perfect gathering spaces (veranda, indoor dining, outdoor dining and living room) for every type of weather and activity and we had room to be together and also to read and relax on our own. We had planned on eating out more but the house and kitchen was so perfect that we self catered every dinner from the grocery store just down the road. Two fridges and dishwashers, tons of cutlery and glassware and a bbq/stove. The house has tons of Bermudian character and a beautiful garden- even down to nasturtiums to top off our salads! The list of recommendations from the house worked out great for our group (Mona Lisa Boat Charters, A Transportation, Oleader Rentals) and made our experience seamless. Although not on the water it felt like we had a private beach less than five minutes away (Cambridge Beach) that was perfect for swimming, sunsets and late night swims. Thank you for helping make our gathering so perfect!

Relaxing Summer Getaway

Our family group of 13 had a wonderful week at Cambridge House. When we weren't out exploring the island or relaxing at the very close-by beautiful beach next door, we spent lots of time together on the large veranda, dining, playing games, and catching up. The grounds are gorgeous and well-maintained - we marveled at the night-blooming cereus and enjoyed watching the chickens wander about the yard. The house was clean, spacious, and well stocked. The owner was both attentive and helpful. All in all, a wonderful week in paradise.

50th anniversary family celebration

50 years ago, we honeymooned in Bermuda and fell in love with the island. We wanted to celebrate with our children and grandchildren there to provide them with an opportunity to experience the beauty and magic of Bermuda. The property accommodations provided the 13 of us the ability to be comfortable and have sufficient space to make this goal possible. The ability to walk within minutes to beautiful Cambridge beaches, public transportation to easily get to the Dockyard and ferries to all points on the island. The porch was the perfect spot for our family dinners and recapping our activities of the day. Everyone was sad to have the beautiful week to wind to an end. Our children are already discussing about future plans to return and about the beautiful memories that they made over the last week!

Great location for friends and family to gather.

I organized an impromptu gathering for my wife's big birthday with friends and family coming from all over. Bermuda is a great location for this, lots of direct flights and generally perfect weather and great beaches. This property was perfect for us, gave us the elbow room to spread out and a great porch to hang out. We booked Crown Point Concierge to manage our logistics like airport transfers and tours, boat tour and private chef for our stay. I can't say enough amazing things about how friendly and accommodating everyone was from both the property and the Concierge team. Truly a great stay.

Best Holiday Ever

The property was even better than it looked and in a great location. Ben was brilliant, very welcoming and went above and beyond to help us. We had a mixed group of friends and my parents (age range 50 -75) but it was all perfect. House is very spacious, well appointed and its easy to get around and the beach is literally just out the back of the property. Couldn't have asked for a better place and will definitely be back. All 12 people from the party are looking to return! Fabulous!
