About this property
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.

perfect for a family; lots of space, great, huge porch, easy walk to the beach. Lovely stay unless your idea of perfect is a Four Seasons. Wonderful property manager, lots of helpful information.
Relaxing and lush oasis easily accessible to the island bus route. Host very responsive to all our needs. Full grocery store in easy walking distance. The area beach was close, inviting and private. Highly recommend for large gathering.
We had a terrific stay at Cambridge House and highly recommend it for large groups. The house easily accomodated our party of 13 with plentiful bedrooms, bathrooms, and indoor & outdoor living spaces. The house and property has tons of character and personality with lots of little surpirses here and there.The location close to Cambridge Beach resort was terrific.
Three generations (including grandchildren from 7 months to 4 years) enjoyed a week of fun in the sun. Ben was very accommodating and gave great recommendations for boat excursions, rentals for baby equipment, and local markets and restaurants. The short walk to the beautiful beach was perfect for all ages. The front porch was a central hub for relaxing, playing and meals. We would highly recommend this location.
We had a great week we got together from Philadelphia New York and Michigan to a beautiful house within a beautiful island we met nice warm people and enjoyed the sun and the closeness to the sea in summery great
We had a fabulous stay at this property. We were a large party of sailors and spouses. Cooked dinner every night at the house for 20+ guests. There was plenty of room for everyone and we thoroughly enjoyed the front porch! The beach was incredible, with beach bar and all! Would be a great property for a large family!
Wonderful Family Reunion & 80th Birthday Celabration
Ben and his team allowed us to leave our bags early so we could enjoy the nearby beach prior to checkin. Great house that accommodated all 10 of us with separate bedrooms and baths. Comfortable large kitchen and seating areas inside and out worked very well family gathering and birthday party. He made our stay very enjoyable by providing fresh water and responding to our needs with recommendations of island services and activities for the entire family. Very convenient location with close by grocery store, bus and the harbor for boat charter. Great place to stay.
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.
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.
Ben the owner is wonderful. He went out of his way to help us any way he could. Gave great tips before our trip and even took us to the grocery store in his car so we could do the initial shopping order. He also even offered to take us again midweek. When our flight got cancelled due to weather he let us come back to the house for another night! Really great property manager. The house is big and most of the bathrooms have been updated. The big table on the porch is where we ate every meal. A quick walk to the beach was easy and the restaurant next store was great too. We had a wonderful time!
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!!
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!
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!
The house was great overall- it was spacious and well equipped for everything our group needed. The host and housekeeper were both quick to respond and helpful with any questions we had. We very much enjoyed our stay here!
The house and surrounding property was just perfect for our 16 member family ranging in age from 75 to 2 years old. Plenty of space, both inside and outside, for groups to gather, or moody kids to be apart. The beach is easily accessible, once you learn the path, and it’s beautiful, calm and has beach loungers and umbrellas that belong to the resort, but we were permitted to use. The bus system worked great for us and was fun. We had perfect weather and a wonderful time. A special thanks to Liz, the house manager, who was always available to us.
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.
