When it is time for an adventure, take a taxi, bus (bus stop is at the end of the lane) or rent an electric vehicle to enjoy the incredible beaches, shops, and sights that Bermuda has to offer. 2 EV charging stations on our property!

A traditional Bermudian house in a great location with exceptional views over Harrington sound. Marion was very responsive, helped us with a welcome pack for our arrival and was clear on check-in and check-out. All in all a very successful return visit to the Island
Marion was very responsive to all of my inquiries. The house was equipped with all the amenities we needed for our stay. Spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds. We used the Weber grill and enjoyed a few dinners at the home. It was a quiet, private location that afforded us a much needed peaceful vacation.
High Terraces exceeded my groups expectations and more! I traveled with my sister and her husband and another couple and we are not first timers in Bermuda. My sister and I have visited 16/17 times so we are very familiar with the island. This was our first time staying at High Terraces, though. We have usually stayed in St David's but our previous host was no longer renting her house so we had to branch out. The location of the house in Smith's is perfect - so central to everything important! We loved that Harrington Hundred's was just down the street and our favorite beach, John Smith's, was minutes away. My husband is a runner and he enjoyed running at Spittal pond or the railway trail in Flatts which were both a short drive away (you can technically run to Spittal if you wanted). The house itself was large enough for our group and the outside area was divine. The kitchen was well stocked and there were no ants inside the house! This was a first for me in Bermuda :) We also loved that there were 2 current vehicle chargers at the house as we are fans of the Yo-yo and we had 3 within our group. Communication with Marion was great- she always responded super quick which is ideal for a rental host. I would love to stay at High Terraces again and cannot wait to book my next trip!
We were so happy we selected High Terraces for our vacation in Bermuda. The home was perfect for our group of 4. In fact, we were a little surprised by how wonderful the views were from the terrace and yard facing Harrington Sound and spent almost every evening watching the sunsets from there. The home sits at the very top of the hill and was very quiet except, for a few tree frogs. It was clean and many of the kitchen appliances appeared new and all the appliances worked perfectly. The hosts were super responsive and accommodating. They provided us with a wealth of information & tips prior to our arrival to make our stay enjoyable. High Terraces is in Smith Parish, which is centrally located between St George's and Hamilton. There is a wonderful little grocery called Harrington Hundreds Grocery nearby where we bought our provisions. The airport is about 15 minutes away and we met a taxi driver who was also wonderful. He stopped at the grocery store on our way to the house and waited while we got our initial stock of provisions before taking us up to the house. After staying at High Terraces, we all agreed this is where we would stay when we return to Bermuda in the future.
Stayed 5 nights in May 2026
About the host
Hosted by Marion and Gary Tilton
I was born and raised in Bermuda and had the privilege of growing up at High Terraces with my Mom and Dad, brother and sister. My Dad grew up on the land there, and built High Terraces when I was born! My Mom was from Philadelphia. She came to Bermuda on vacation with her sister in 1948. In the days of the flying boats. They met my Dad’s parents on the flight, invited them to dinner and the rest is history! I had wanderlust as a young person, as many young Bermudians do. I “flew the coop” and lived many places, landing a job as a flight attendant for a major US carrier was perfect for me! I flew for 40 years, during which time I married a lovely New Hampshire man, where we raised our kids, who are both Bermudians and we all love the island and High Terraces. Our daughter was married at High Terraces in 2019, in a beautiful tent overlooking Harrington Sound and the North Shore. Our son had his honeymoon there in 2024! Our niece and nephew were also married there, in 2016 and 2025 respectively. Having my airline job made it possible to visit Bermuda so often I say I had one foot in Bermuda and one foot in the US and the world all my life! We love being able to have High Terraces as a vacation rental so we can stay there too!! It’s one of our favorite places in the whole wide world!
Why they chose this property
The land High Terraces is built on was farm land of my Grandfather. When my father married my mother my grandfather gifted the land to my Dad. So I could say this land chose me! We love the peaceful setting, the extraordinary views of Harrington Sound and North Shore. You’ll watch cruise ships heading in and out of Bermuda, and know you’re getting to really know the islands! You’ll watch beautiful sunrises and sunsets while having breakfast and later in the day cocktails on the terrace. You can also dine alfresco under the poinciana tree on the lawn, an area large enough to play croquet.
What makes this property unique
A true Bermuda gem of a home. At the end of a sweet lane, with over half an acre of land you’ll hardly see another home nearby. Peace and quiet. Enjoy long evenings on the porch, “terrace” with drinks, barbecue, watching the sunset, evening drawing in and lights appear on the houses across Harrington Sound! Loved through the generations, and now with several repeat guests who come for over a month each during the winter. You will understand ours and their attachment the moment you arrive!
