Stunning sunsets, turtle watching, longtails wheeling and glow worms ....

Sunset Studio is located on the western edge of Sugar Cane Beach looking out across Mangrove Bay towards the west. It is the sister cottage to Sugar Cane Cottage (www.vrbo.com/3685978), which is located at the other end of Sugar Cane Beach. It is 10 minutes from Dockyard and 15 minutes from the main beaches.

It is a single room studio unit with a loft space for sleeping, modelled on the tiny house concept. There is a full king sized bed in the loft area, together with small built in closets either side of the bed. The living area comprises a corner sofa unit that can convert to 2 single beds. The kitchenette is a very compact “galley” style kitchen that has a full stove, under counter fridge/freezer, toaster & electric kettle. Flat screen TV in lounge and loft area with fire tv and firestick, internet access, air-conditioning throughout. The bathroom has a large shower.

The unit has direct access to our beach and there are also stairs leading to the waters of Mangrove Bay on the northern boundary. The patio area overlooks Mangrove Bay on the Northern side of the unit. On the Southern side will be a sheltered garden with a bar-b-que area (once the landscaping is finished).

The exterior of the unit is designed to resemble the wooden cottages built in Somerset in the late 19th – early 20th Centuries, by West Indian workers who were brought to the Island to work at Dockyard. [For further information see Bermuda’s Architectural Heritage Series: Sandys by the Bermuda National Trust]

Please note the loft area is accessed by a compact staircase and may not be suitable for individuals with mobility issues.

We had a WONDERFUL stay and can't wait to go back. It is such a beautiful spot and we were so happy to discover that the fishing (and swimming) is excellent right from the rocks on the property. The hosts were wonderful and gave some great fishing tips as well!

This was our second stay at this lovely cottage on Mangrove Bay in Somerset Village. Christine is wonderful to deal with and our stay had all the right amounts of beach time, snorkeling, relaxation, ferry trips to both Hamilton and St George and some really great food throughout our stay. We were at first disappointed to find that our favorite fish sandwhich joint (Woody’s) was not serving food any longer, but we found an equally good one at Fishbones at the dockyard. Shout out also to the restaurants at Cambridge Beaches (easy walking distance). We had several spectacular meals there. Great time was had for sure and we will be back.

My husband and I spent a week at this amazing property, and had a great time. The house is simple but has everything you need. We spent most of our time in the outdoor spaces snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, reading, fishing, etc. and taking in the views. The house is away from the crowds, but conveniently located near ferries and buses to explore the island. This was our first time to Bermuda, but certainly won’t be our last. Thank you, Christine!

Hands down, best VRBO property on the island for a couple! The location is perfect - right by a bus stop surrounded by your own stunning beaches. The snorkeling was excellent each day and the paddleboards and noodles were a great perk. You get to enjoy the sunrise and sunset daily from the yard/beach. We felt like we didn't need to leave the property - it was our own little paradise. Christine was great as well. We took her up on her offer of picking up/delivering our grocery order which was lovely of her to do for us. Greatly appreciated and can't wait to get back!
