About this property

Spacious Beachfront and Private Resort living

The Deck House is located at the lower Western end of the same property as our listing 396719, with VRBO. Entry is through French doors which opens onto it's own private patio. Upon entry into the apartment the kitchen is fully equipped with a stove, full refrigerator and a queen size bed to accommodate 2 guests only. As you gaze out to sea, this unobstructed view of the south shore leaves you in “awe”. If you yearn for peace, tranquility and space you have come to the end of your search. This reverse air conditioned unit has a separate bathroom with shower. Laundry facility on site which makes your vacation perfect. This resort area has the finest restaurants and a major bus route for convenience at the top of “de hill” all within walking distance. As you step out your French door you walk straight into our fruits, veggies and herb gardens. Our chickens will provide you with fresh eggs....NO roasters. You will be grated by the lovely sounds of the ocean and the many birds especially the kiskadee birds and the moorning doves. Yes, your own prinvate beach to enjoy – Crossbay Beach only steps away. The flight of steps immediately to the side of the unit take you to Deck 80. This large open patio elevates to a common area which is unobstructed, overlooking three beaches, Princess Beach Club and the Reef's Resort. Perfect for Whale Watching (seasonal) and taking in the best sunsets. Welcome to Bermuda. Come and "feel the love".

A (but here’s a tip…)

Lorna, the property, the beaches, and the island are amazing! If you want to go to a nearby restaurant or grocery store, call Lorna’s transportation, contact Belinda Wilson and her husband Ed. Schedule them in advance and they’re great. “Hitch” is their Uber and it is horrible!

Excellent Location and Wonderful Hosts

Lorna and Greg were excellent hosts! The property was clean and comfortable, allowing us to relax and take full advantage of the location. The view cannot be beat, and the access to the private beach was amazing. The south shore of Bermuda has so much to offer and this property was ideally situated to make the most of the island.

Bermuda Vacation

We had a wonderful stay at Lorna's place. We enjoyed the private location of the property and the accommodations were great. It was a great location to walk to many different places and the bus stop was very close by. Hope to visit Bermuda again in the future!

Special place!

The moment you drive down the driveway and see the amazing ocean views from the house you know you’re staying somewhere special! We stayed in Studio By the Sea which was a lovely apartment with very comfortable bed and kitchen that has everything you need to prepare a meal. Our host Lorna makes you feel very welcome and was extremely responsive to our communications. She generously allowed us to park our two seater EV next to the apartment and charge for free. We would happily stay there again if we return to Bermuda someday.

Beautiful, relaxing paradise!

My husband and I came for a mini getaway. It was perfect for us, as we were looking for a quiet beach vacation. The view from the property was amazing! Just steps away from a gorgeous beach. Often my husband and I were the only ones on the beach. Great location in walking distance to a few restaurants, lighthouse and horseshoe bay beach. Lorna is responsive and helpful host.

Lovely Stay with Private Beach :)

We absolutely loved our stay at The Deck House! The studio layout was perfect for us, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. They even provided us with complimentary snorkel gear – perfect for exploring the beautiful private beach right out front! :) There's one minor thing to consider: the driveway is a bit steep. However, the bus stop conveniently located at the top makes getting around a breeze. Taxis can also easily pick you up there. Overall, The Deck House was a fantastic place to stay!

5 Days In Paradise

My wife and I could not be more pleased with the accommodations and location of Lorna and Greg’s gorgeous home! It is nestled on a bluff between two 5 star resorts and just a short stroll to one of Bermuda ‘s incredibly beautiful beaches. The oceanfront view from the studio is spectacular with a constant breeze of of the ocean. We walked to outstanding restaurants, the rail trail, horseshoe cove and warwick beaches. Lorna was the perfect host! We’ll be back!

Beautiful location

We had a wonderful stay at Deck House in April. It is located in our very favorite spot of Bermuda. The views of the private beach and ocean were spectacular. The owner Lorna, was very warm and hospitable, and having her on site added very much to the enjoyment of our visit. The apartment is walking distance from Horseshoe Bay, as well as several restaurants. We ate at Henry VIII (twice) and The Dining Room located at Gibb's Hill Lighthouse. The studio was small, however it was fine for 2 people. We really did not spend much time inside anyway. There are other apartments on property that are suited for larger groups. We highly recommend Lorna, and her guest house, and look forward to visiting again.

South Road Paradise

Lorna and her family are beautiful people. The Gemstones Property is high on a hill overlooking the most beautiful beach (Cross Bay) During our stay we basically had the beach to ourselves. The walk to beach from Gemstones is fairly steep but there are two other routes. It’s not an issue to sway a decision to stay here. We stayed 10 days and our taxi driver Belinda who is a beautiful person stopped in route to gemstone from airport at supermarket so we could buy food, beer and wine etc. We prepared dinner three nights on excellent Weber gas grill and enjoyed our meal on the deck overlooking the water. Just spectacular. The location is an easy walk to King Henry the 8ths restaurant and store (their chicken legs, fish cakes and fish chowder are a must). Also the Reefs is just a 15 min walk. We bought 7 day bus pass and traveled the island with ease. I could go on and on but I’ll close by saying that my wife and I have found our Bermuda Home!!

Paradise in Bermuda

My wife and I had a fantastic time staying at the Deck House. Lorna was a great host. The studio apartment was ideal, the queen bed was comfy, kitchen area was equipped for our needs and the studio was extremely clean. The laundry area was next door to the studio. You will never find a more beautiful beach just a short walk down the incline path and stairs. The beach was absolutely beautiful and the chairs and umbrella was provided by the host. Lorna was also welcoming by providing information about the Island. Lorna also prepared us a “Swizzle” drink that we shared together one evening while we sat on the front deck and enjoyed the music coming from The Princess Resort Beach. Restaurants were close by that we walked to for dinner. If you are looking for a place with beautiful quite setting and awesome beach you will not be disappointed here. Highly recommend!! Thanks Lorna and Greg!!

The epitome of Paradise!!

My best friend and I had been planning a vacation for awhile, and because of the recent hurricane activity in the Caribbean, we decided to go to Bermuda. Best. Decision. EVER as we had the most amazing time! "Madame" Lorna and Greg were the most gracious of hosts and were only shadowed by the spectacular views from the property...simply amazing! The accommodations suited our needs exactly, and the private beach and views made this the trip of a lifetime. Getting to and from the airport was easily arranged by Mrs. Sylvia, and we were within 5 walking minutes to a restaurant and little market with convenient items like snacks and beer. The bus was also right outside of the property providing access to downtown Hamilton allowing for sightseeing and people watching on the way. And EVERYONE is friendly in Bermuda...it's like they know no strangers! If you are looking for a safe, beautiful, and charming destination, stop what you are doing and get to booking at Gemstones!

About the host

Hosted by Lorna Wilson

Host profile image
My husband and I have managed and operated our vacation rental business for over 6 years and has recently redesigned our lifestyle to include in our rental pool our studio apartment. We have been married for over 30 years with two adult children and our newly added gem BELLA (our granddaughter). I was born in Jamaica, but my dear and most talented husband, who is also Gemstones Private Chef is Bermudian to the core. Mention Greg Wilson to anyone on these shores and they would more than like know him. Highly respected. I am your contact person when booking Gemstones and I will guide and direct you towards one of the most enjoyable vacation experiences. Welcome to Bermuda. Our island home.

Why they chose this property

Gemstones is a property that has all the qualities for large, medium and small families to enjoy. It is tucked away in an area of Bermuda called the Gold Coast overlooking the prettiest Private Beach called Crossbay Beach. Imagine someone placed you in the middle of the best resort area and said "have fun". The best restaurants, the kindest neighborhood, your own private beach with nature at it's best. You are right in the middle of three of the finest resorts Bermuda has to offer. All you have to do is bring your own groceries. You awake to the ocean and the sound of chirping birds everyday. You look out to sea and is amazed that God has created so many shades of blue. In the warmer summer months Longtail birds fill the skies. In the later evenings as the sunsets you watch the large cruise ships sailing on the oceans. Stay a little longer and you will be hypnotized by the beacon of Gibb's Hill Lighthouse.

What makes this property unique

Private beach with three access, quiet, many restaurants to choose from. Gibb's Hill Lighthouse just a very short walk away. Bus stops at the top of the hill. Friendly neighborhood with neighborhood watch. Whale watching from your patio. Random fireworks display from neighboring hotels.
