Amazing!!! Is all I can say about this VRBO â great value â beautiful cottage that was better than the picturesâ the private beach was awesome and it was so central to both ends of the islands
The most magnificent family vacation you can ask for. From start to finish we had a wonderful time. The beaches are amazing. The restaurants are top shelf. Everything about the house helped us relax and have a fabulous vacation.
Marley Cottage is a complete home with amenities for a group of 6. We felt very comfortable and relaxed during our 7 day stay. The cottage is a short walk to the beach and bus stops. We utilized the bus transportation for all our island travel except to and from the airport.
The owners of the property were so kind and communicative, and the house is gorgeous, clean, and beautifully decorated. We had everything we needed to be comfortable and feel at home, as all amenities were provided. The private beach was just...wow. So special.
We had a really wonderful stay at Marley Beach House. Our faily of 6 raged in ag from 50 to 80 . We appreciated the beautiful Bermuda home and the incredible private beach . Wthe proximity to the bus line made getting in Hamilton and around the island easy. What a special place!
This home is very accurately described. It is a lovely old Bermuda home that has been well cared for and thoroughly modernised. It is furnished with many antiques. Very quiet and private, with two outdoor patios, we particularly enjoyed the secret back patio with its living wall carved out of island coral. Centrally located on the island, there is a bus stop (great bus service) right in front the house. It is a two minute walk down the stairs to Marley Beach, where we were usually the only people on there.While we never had a chance to meet our hostess, she was very helpful in pre-provisioning the house and making sure our stay was problem free. We (4 adults, 1 teenager) had a delightful stay, and really hope to return someday.
Sally and Michael were super hosts. I got to personally meet both of them and it was such a pleasure to talk to them in person. Their house is spectacular and quite spacious. We especially loved the outdoor patio where we hung out and had dinner. Being able to do our laundry was so very helpful. All of the beds were super comfortable. We were a family of 6 - 5 adults and a 2 year old and we had plenty of space. The location near the bus stop was a great perk. When the bus wasn't convenient for us, Sally suggested we use Dr. Dre for transportation and he was the best. The private beach was so beautiful and such a quick walk from the house. Prior to us staying, Sally was very patient with all of my emails and questions. I can't say enough good things about this rental. It was so peaceful here and very hard to leave and return to reality. I would absolutely rent this house from Sally and Michael again!
This is truly a charming and comfortable home. The layout allowed for plenty of space and privacy for a family of 6, 3 couples. We loved the location and private beach. Absolutely beautiful! Everything that we needed was provided. Sally was so helpful and arranged for our bus passes and airport transportation ahead of arrival, upon request. Our driver, Andre, was very helpful too and provided early morning transport for a fishing charter. The local restaurant LITT prepared the Baracuda that my husband caught, which was delicious. We ordered groceries from dropit.bm that were delivered the morning of our arrival. LITT Restaurant, a convenience store, and Southlands Park were within walking distance. We used buses and an occasional taxi to get around the island. We loved exploring Bermuda and we all agreed that coming home to this beautiful cottage with its lovely outdoor spaces and close proximity to the private beach made this trip extra special. We had a fabulous stay.
The house was wonderful and met all expectations, great private beach. Mid island location easy to get around on rental microcars. 15 min to Hamilton. Would recommend 10/10 and look forward to returning.
Our family spent a week at this lovely beach house near Marley Beach. We found this home very relaxing. The location and views were amazing, it exceeded out expectations.
Beach House was perfect for our family of 5. Beautifully decorated and comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped. The location is absolutely amazing with easy access to the private beach. This was our first trip to Bermuda and we couldnât have picked a better home. We will be visiting Bermuda in the future and will definitely want to stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay! Our party of 6 was extremely comfortable in the home without being overcrowded. The location on the island is perfect! We made it to all locations within 40 minutes using rented electronic cars. There isnât a beach view but a short walk gets you to a breathtaking cove and a chance to meet friendly neighbors!
This place is awesome. The house is great for a family with common areas to hang out and all you need to cook and live comfortably during your stay. Amazing private beach a few steps away and the location was in close proximity to other beautiful beaches and sites. Bermuda is a wonderful place and Marley Beach makes an excellent home base for your stay.
This is our 2nd time at Marley Beach cottage and it was great both times. Property has been updated a bit since last stay to make it even better
House comes with all beach accessories such as umbrellas, wake boards, noodles, chairs, etc
Mid-island access to everything is nice and of course the semi- private beach is a big plus
House also has an electric car charging point now
Area is quiet and private
Great restaurant right down the road, The Gulfstream.
All in all couldnât ask for a better place to stay!
We had a wonderful time staying at Sallyâs home. The location was perfect. The bus stop is just across the road. Days and evenings at the pink hued sand beach were breathtaking. We highly recommend this home to our fellow travelers.
Just got back from 10 days at the beach cottage! This was a special trip for us as our adult children and their partners were joining us and I had a special birthday. This was not my first time in Bermuda, but the first at the cottage. From the time we booked, the owner Sally was in touch answering my endless questions. The contact with Sally made the trip soooo much easier before we left, and after we arrived. I have never found a more attentive host. The cottage location is perfect as the bus stops right out front, there is a restaurant nearby, and the grocery store is close as well. The beach is gorgeous, but yes, the info is correct on the stairs down. We were all just fine, but can be steep for persons who are mobility impaired. The cottage has everything you could possibly need and we enjoyed morning coffee together, and evening cocktails on a very private patio. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming. 10/10 would stay here again. Thanks Sally, it was a truly wonderful trip!Diane
We stayed for a week at Sally's beautiful home and we could not have picked a more lovely home, location and host for our first trip to Bermuda - Sally's home is centrally located, with the incredible bonus of the private beach and her home is well-maintained, charming and perfect for a family with all of the home and beach essentials in place. Sally was wonderful about getting us set up including with her house manager and an airport transfer and we highly recommend her home to anyone!
Stupendous vacation cottage for family and friends
This cottage was perfect for our multi-generational group with plenty of space inside and outside. It had one large patio sitting area and another smaller one which included a little Weber grill. Having the beautiful and private Marley Beach just down the path and steps away was amazing. It enabled flexibility for our group all during the day. Gordon was fantastically helpful coordinating various aspects of our stay. Having the bus stop right out front was convenient for our group as Bermuda taxi costs for our group of 6 added up quickly. Definitely recommend 1) booking the suggested A-Plus round trip airport transportation and 2) online grocery ordering with delivery from Lindos.
Sally's place was amazing. SOOO roomy and much better than even the pictures depict online!! She has everything you need for A vacation stay at a VRBO. Beach towels, great stocked kitchen, Comfy beds, boogie boards, frisbees just to name a few.
The outdoor larger sitting area is so comfortable and private. There's a smaller sitting area where the grill is also.
Overall we decided that out of the 16 or so vacation rentals we've been in this was our favorite! Gordon the property manager was great showing us around and answering any questions we had during our stay.
There is a very very short walk to stairs down to a beautiful beach. It was amazing, the water is a little rough but many of the beaches we went to in the area were rough unless you were in a protected cove.
The attention to detail and love that was put into this home made it feel like we were home!
Highly recommend Sally's place!!
The property is a wonderful house that is filled with many amenities and is a great place to relax between many Bermuda adventures.
The house is clean, spacious and has high quality furnishings throughout. We were able to use the kitchen and prepare most meals in the house. The owner and property manager were extremely helpful to get us situated initially including being onsite for grocery delivery prior to our arrival. The location is great but do note it isn't in the middle of an area with lots of amenities (stores or restaurants). We loved its private beach (shared with a limited number of properties) and proximately to other great beaches (Horseshoe, Warwick, Elbow). Transportation is one thing to plan for with your Bermuda trip. The property is right next to bus stops which we used for the entire trip. (The property manager helped by having bus passes available on arrival).
The house had netflix and also provided some beach gear like umbrellas which are crucial but do bring a beach blanket.
Overall what a great house!
From the moment we arrived we were blown away by the picture-perfect house & the stunning private beach access. The house was beautifully maintained & well stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the cozy bedrooms to the fully equipped kitchen, making it feel like a home away from home. One standout aspect of our stay was the house manager, Gordon. He was incredibly responsive & helpful throughout our entire vacation. Whether we had questions about the property or needed suggestions for local activities, Gordon was always there to assist, ensuring we had a smooth & enjoyable experience. Spending lazy days on the private beach, listening to the soothing waves & tree frogs & feeling the soft sand beneath our feet, was an absolute dream come true. The privacy & tranquility of Marley Beach truly made our vacation one to remember. In conclusion, #1 Marley Beach exceeded all our expectations, & we are already looking forward to returning soon. This was my 6th trip to Bermuda & by far this was my best rental!
Thanks Sally for allowing us to use your special house & all your treats you left for us on our arrival. Kathy from St. Louis, MO
We stayed at the Marley Beach House on July 15th through July 20th, 2024. It was a fantastic trip!! The house we stayed in was absolutely beautiful! It met our needs perfectly. The house is located in a perfect area, close to the Warwick Long Bay beaches and Jobson's Cove. We rented Bermi's while we were there and it was helpful to have a charging station at the house. The beach the house is located on is beautiful, but it was a bit "unsettled" while we were there. I attempted to go in, but it was too rough for me. My sons, who are younger, went in and really enjoyed it. I'm not sure if it was the time of year, or if the beach is always that rough. But it was beautiful and peaceful to sit at night and have a glass of wine. We really enjoyed playing games on the back patio at night. No bugs! The house has everything you need to make a meal. We had breakfast and lunch at the house every day, but I don't cook dinner on vacation lol! Gordon and his lovely friend met us at the house when we got there. He filled us in on everything we needed to know, He also arranged transportation from the airport to the house and back to the airport, which was very helpful! All in all, this was a great trip! Everyone had so much fun and it was so nice to be together! We will definitely be back! Thank you Sally for the use of your beautiful home!
Given how absolutely perfect this home is for any Bermuda visit, this was our third visit with family and we sincerely believe you cannot find a more charming, well-equipped and peaceful home for your adventures in Bermuda, particularly once you factor in the private access to Marley Beach!
We stayed for two weeks and loved our time! The house is spacious. The kitchen is well stocked. Bedrooms are large. The beach is in the backyard. Location is fantastic. The bus stop is across the street and horseshoe bay is a 5 minute ride away. I could not have asked for anything different.
Every single thing about this house is perfect. My family of five were so comfortable. We loved coming back to the house after a long say of snorkeling or sightseeing. It was truly a home away from home. So much about this property is great. The private beach was beautiful. The bus stops are right outside. Sally and Gordon made the entire process super easy. I will definitely return a hopefully stay in this house.
Michael and I purchased this cottage from my brother in 2018.. It has been in our family for many years as my father was one of the original developers of the Marley Beach Cottages where tourists used to come for vacation, a small cottage colony. My brother Joe has relocated to Canada where he now runs a very popular B&B in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia named Alicion. We wish to share our home with people who want to enjoy the beautiful beaches of the South Shore, relax, unwind and have a good time and we have tried to make the cottage as comfortable as possible. We are grateful to have you as guests !
This property is full of old Bermuda charm, has a shared private beach, bus stop outside the front door, close to grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants and close to Hamilton, approximately ten minutes from here. The cottage is very nicely furnished with some family paintings and antiques and heirlooms as well as contemporary furniture, making it charming and eclectic.
The private beach at Marley is a very unique and privileged location, providing beach lounges as well as a NEW fire pit for enjoying those fun beach barbecues. A small hand carried barbecue is here ready for your use !
