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.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker. Change of towels is available on request.

The cottage is perfect! We had an amazing stay. Convenience of transit, snorkeling off your own private beach and all the amenities provided make this a perfect spot for a couple or a small family holiday.

Location on the water was ideal for us. We fished almost every day, and snorkeled right from the beach at the bottom of the steps. The sunrises/sunsets were just icing on the cake!

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.

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!

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!

The place was fantastic. We went for our honeymoon and stayed in July. The outdoor area and location of the property was perfect. Plenty of safe swimming (with water shoes) and places to check out. Quick walk to bus stop to take you anywhere on the island. Only downside was the interior of the house. The stove had some issues that we worked out and some of the receptacles didn’t work (not a huge deal) and one of the French doors wouldn’t shut all the way. Would definitely stay here again without a question, definitely recommend!

Awesome Location

We enjoyed the location. Amazing view every morning with coffee and tea. Watching the boats come in and out of the bay was fun. We saw sea turtles and glow worms, as advertised. Christine was quick to answer our questions and check in was effortless. We enjoyed paddle boards, a tandem kayak around the bay, and the anchored floating raft. You could not ask for anything more. We are already planning another stay.

A wonderful week

For our first trip to Bermuda, we wanted to concentrate our time on the iconic water and lots of walking, less so on tourist attractions. This Somerset spot was perfect for us. We snorkeled right off the beach here (great fish variety), fished almost every day from the rocks, made several kayak trips and on a low-wind day, used the SUP's! We had a great time. The water here is as spectacular as the pictures show. We didn't rent a car or moped (we might if we came again) but we had no trouble using the bus system, which is extremely convenient to the cottage. We also walked to lots of places, and had no difficulty walking on the roads. The cottage is compact and has everything you need, but honestly we spent most of our time outdoors! The host, Christine, was very welcoming, helpful and responsive.

Closest to the an over water bungalow

This house has 2 sets of stone steps- 1 leading to the water and 1 leading to a beach. There are paddle boards at the house to use. The bus stops are not far away. However the bus doesn’t allow big suitcases on them so you will probably need to get a taxi to and from the airport. Christine came and met us to show us around and make sure we were settled. She is great and the place was great. Would definitely go back again!
