About this property

We are a discrete 1.5 acre estate with panoramic views over Bermuda's Harrington Sound located just 10 minutes from Bermuda's airport and 5 minutes from the Rosewood @ Tuckers's Point, the Loren Hotel and The Mid Ocean Club. The property is spacious with well-appointed indoor & outdoor spaces making it perfect for groups, families & entertaining. With its own private swim dock & tennis court, Sound Winds is ideal for those who want to make best use of Bermuda from land and sea.
Sound Winds is managed by the owners (Tom & Anya), we rented it for a week on holiday in '18 and fell in love... It's now our main home however we travel a lot and so Sound Winds is available for guests when we are off the island. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did however it isn't for sale ;-) We used to market the property on AirBNB via an agency however we took it over ourselves in '20.

Beautiful, private location

The property was beautiful! We spent our mornings on the large veranda enjoying the gorgeous view of Harrington Sound. The house is a bit tired, but you can not beat the location and the privacy. The house was large and accommodated our party of 8 easily. Location was central and easy to get to both St. George and Hamilton by bus, with the stop right at the end of the drive. We even were able to walk to John Smith Beach. The information packet included detailed information about the house, taxi's, grocery and more. We had a wonderful stay!

Far Exceeded Our Expectations!!! Absolutely Gorgeous

We stayed here for my relaxing Bermuda Bachelorette. My mother (who booked it) said that the owners were very helpful when she and my friends were planning from the US with suggestions of activities, etc. The actual space is larger than the pictures (which never happens)! When we arrived, the owners were super accommodating. They welcomed us personally and gladly answered some questions for us as well as made suggestions. It was the perfect amount of space for all 9 of us. We had a huge sleepover in the movie theater area, we went paddle boarding with the fish and we had family dinner on the porch. We loved every part of the space. The manual provided was very helpful, we used the suggested taxi driver, Sergio, and he was great. Bermuda is a beautiful place, Sound Winds was heaven on Earth and you officially have several customers that will return for sure! Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Fabulous property that has been neglected.

The wonderful picture of the property from many years ago is not representative of its current state. The aluminum ladder sits carelessly discarded below the diving board which has also disappeared. The replacement ladder had 3 steps missing which I retrieved from the bottom of the ocean floor making the ladder unusable. The ping-pong table was rusted and uneven with a broken net. Paddles were missing handles and were mushy. The tennis court while playable has some low spots that accumulate water and needs better fencing to keep the ducks out who like to poop on the court. While playing tennis the electric company came to shut off power due to an unpaid bill. Luckily because we were there we were able to connect the technician with the owners who had not been reachable. Such an elegant house and property deserves better care.
