Wrexford Cottage is an amazing place! The reef just 50 feet offshore is spectacular and the sunsets are amazing! I enjoyed going for a swim out to the reef in the morning and then exploring Bermuda. Itâs especially a great location because itâs located close to the Dockyard and the Southshore beaches. Ralph and Julie and wonderful hosts! Ask Ralph any questions about animal life on Bermuda because he has the answers! I look forward to coming back to Bermuda and Wrexford!
Our taxi driver was a bet overwhelmed with the closed in the street if you call it that, was and has lived on the island his whole life. The numbers on the houses was a difficult to find.Then there was the stairs down to.our unit. 3 sets of stairs. Then the stairs down to ocean were even more scary. The unit was clean but very slippery floors if wet. The shower had no hand rails around. And floor in bathroom was slippery when wet.Very slippery floors.After a couple of days saw small like roaches. Bed was a bit hard and the pillows need to be replaced.Ralph gave us ideas on where to eat close by. And he was a talker. If we were younger maybe this would be a ok. But not for anyone with disability issues.The view was awesome. For sure.
direct access to the ocean, privacy and parrot fish
Wrexford Cottage provided exactly what we wanted for our brief (week-long) break from our respective desks. The cottage is right on the ocean, the parrot fish close to shore, the reef is alive with coral and fish. Ralph and Julie provided exactly the kinds of local "tips" we needed so that we could make the best of our time in Bermuda. With thanks.
The facilities were great, just what is needed. Very clean and ample space outdoors to relax and enjoy the beauty of Bermuda. The sunsets were fabulous. The privacy of the location and the seaside view was breathtaking.
This is a great location for a single person or a couple that loves to snorkel. The property has a lawn that slopes down to the water and the reef is available to explore right offshore. The owners live above the apartment and are really helpful if you need them but respect your privacy. The backyard feels very private and is a great place to enjoy your dinner while watching the sun set over the ocean.
Idyllic quiet place on the beautiful Bermudian coast.
Cute studio apartment with a beautiful ocean view and wonderful owners with vast knowledge of Bermuda. Short drive or taxi to many beaches and parks and other attractions. Wonderful!
We rented an EV and used this wonderful apt as our home base. The EV charger was such a plus. We already miss having our morning coffee with that view and our evening beverage at sunset. The hosts are wonderful people and the pictures don't capture how great this property is. Fish sandwiches one way, golf and the most beautiful beaches the other. Perfect for a couple.
We arrived just days after a hurricane hit the Island. Ralph and Julie went above and beyond to make sure everything was ready for our stay. We've stayed here in the past and we will stay here again in the future. Can't beat this location!
Hosts Ralph & Julie were thoughtful and efficient - and between them, have the most beautiful smiles on record. That said, we had complete privacy during our stay. They called prior to our travel to confirm details, even arranging the best driver on the island, Corrine! The property is staggeringly beautiful. The neighborhood locals were charming and all wished us âGood Dayâ as we passed their homes on our walk to the bus. I almost donât want to rave to much as I feel this is a treasured gem I want access to in the future. Our trip was beyond amazing and we are missing Bermuda upon our return. We cannot thank you enough for contributing to some real Life memories.
We had such a fantastic time in our first visit to Bermuda! We ate outside in the backyard on several evenings and watched the sunset. We kayaked and snorkeled and watched parrotfish. It was definitely a blessing to have the charging station at the house to charge our electric vehicle (which we also recommend getting). Ralph and Julie were excellent hosts and we enjoyed chatting with them. We went all over the island but we also spent plenty of time staying in the room. Itâs cozy and comfortable and a really great place to relax. We went grocery shopping a few times and brought the food back to make meals in the kitchen. We had everything we needed there. Thanks so much Ralph and Julie!
My husband and I recently spent a week at the Wrexford Cottage. Ralph and Julie were extremely kind hosts who take pride in their home and the island. The apartment was clean and cozy and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The apartment was also very well temperature regulated and comfortable which is not always the case in humid climates. The property was quiet and the views were breath taking. From the moment I arrived and looked out at the ocean felt peaceful. We were lucky enough to see parrot fish and eagles rays from the shore. Some of our favorite moments during our week in Bermuda were spent on the lawn at the cottage. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
The location was perfect for us. A sloping lawn down to the water and easy access to the reefs offshore. The setting was private and quiet, and offered opportunities for casual outdoor dining and nice sunsets every evening. Our hosts, Ralph and Julie, couldn't have been nicer. They were attentive to our needs but respectful of our space. The studio apartment is small but was clean, comfortable, and provided everything we needed.
Everything was perfect. The cottage studio was just as described. Julie and Ralph (the hosts) treated us like family. Ralph gave us great recommendations on beaches :) We loved swimming in front of their house and seeing all the fish . We are planning on going back next fall. We spent 10 days at Wrexford Cottage and it was pure heaven
Wrexford Cottage is the best! My husband and I have stayed here twice now, and it only gets better. The listing is accurate and the pictures donât do it justice. Itâs better in person.
The apartment is cozy and had everything we needed to cook meals at home and relax. The small reef was perfect for snorkeling around. Iâve snorkeled all over Bermuda, and this is some of the best. We saw all kinds of fish - schools of Parrot Fish, balloon fish, squirrel fish, and a spotted eagle ray are just a few of the things we saw!
Ralph and Julie are excellent hosts! We left here refreshed and feeling as if we made new friends. This place is purely magical!
Everything was very niceâŠthe view of the ocean was beautiful. Enjoyed my morning coffee out back enjoying the view.
The walk to the bus station was a little long but
overall we really enjoyed our stay at Ralphâs place.
His wife was very nice too !
Would definitely go back.
The property is just as stated in all the descriptions, simply beautiful. Swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking right from the property...it was everything we thought it would be, but so much more.
Ralph and Julie are excellent hosts, very accommodating and available for info and guidance about the island and it's history.
Only first-timer mistake on our part was not scheduling a car rental beforehand. It's only 1/2 mile to the bus stop, but it's up a steep hill and down. We did it, but the July heat made it a grueling trek. We'll know better next time.
All in all, a wonderful week in Bermuda.
