Avis Beautiful Water Front Property - Snorkel, Fish, or RELAX in the BEST LOCATION!

John was a wonderful host and very helpful. The house is in a beautiful location right on the water. The bus stop across the street was very convenient. The only complaint is that the house needs some TLC. Some light bulbs were out. There was some rust on appliances, in the bathrooms and on the outdoor furniture.

You can walk down a few stairs and get into the crystal-clear water and see a ton of sea life only feet from the front door. Bring your snorkeling gear. There are bus stops right by the house and an incredibly tasty restaurant literally next door, so the location is pretty convenient. It's in a quiet area, but it's not far from Hamilton. There's a full kitchen, laundry, 3 big bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The house needs a *little* work outside, but John the owner knows this and is working on a ton of stuff. Great for a small group of people. Eat in the large dining room, outside on the porch overlooking the water - your choice!

This house is right on the water and an easy bus ride to anywhere on the island!!! The host John lives on the property and is a pleasure to deal with and talk to. He was very receptive to the few needs we had. The view and sunsets were incredible!!! Would highly recommend this property and we will be back to stay in the future!!!

The views were amazing, the location was perfect and John (owner) was wonderful! He even offered to take us to the grocery store shortly after we arrived. Not to mention delicious food at The Flame restaurant (John runs) connected to the home was perfect after a long day of traveling or sight seeing.

Great Hosts Great Place Great Location Great View

Beautiful waterfront property. Warm and friendly host.

An amazing family vacation with an amazing view and host..we will return

Nice vacation. Home was clean. It is older and needs some work. Roof in dining room leaked during heavy rain two days. Air conditioner I. Upstairs bedroom and living room did not work. I was also disappointed because the ladder shown in the listing to get out of the water by the rocks after snorkeling is no longer there. This, along with rough weather on some days, made it impossible for us to snorkel on the property and we had really looked forward to that. We also had a rat run past us on the patio one evening, which made us make sure all doors were closed when we were on the patio after that. John, the property owner, is very nice. Bermuda is amazing and the property, on the whole, worked well for us. We rented Tazzaris, small electric cars, which made accessing all parts of the island easy. It was a fun vacation.

For our group (2 couples) this property fell short in many respects, although to be honest, we enjoyed our stay. I was surprised that the owner (John) did not initially acknowledge our booking with a greeting. The location was fine for us. We had independent mobility with mopeds but also sometimes took the bus (bus stop very near). The restaurant that is located on the property is closed. On arrival, there was no power to the upstairs rooms but I found the circuit breaker and reset it. It tripped several more times during our stay. Numerous electrical outlets and light switches did not function and light bulbs were burned out. We did a major clean of the kitchen. The dishwasher isn't secured into the cabinetry and there was no detergent. The first meal we cooked was problematic. Here are items missing from the kitchen: a good sharp knife, a potato peeler, a wooden spoon, non-stick pan, measuring cup, dish soap. A toaster!! There were no hand towels and no bath mats. The upstairs tub/shower is treacherous and needs some form of slip mitigation. In short, the place is poorly maintained and poorly equipped. You would have to be brave to try to access the ocean from out front. Some would be bothered by the traffic noise. The view and the proximity to the ocean, however, is great. So is the privacy. With the addition of taxes and junk fees, the nightly cost of about $660 is dear. With some effort, this property could be really great!

First, just want to say how ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL this home is right off the ocean with amazing views not only from the outside, but also from the inside including the family room and every bedroom. It is conveniently located in the center of the island, so no matter what you plan for the day, you will not have that long of a trip there and back. The house is large and spacious, very clean, and the beds were very comfortable with fresh linens! John gave us the name of a taxi service owner named Mr. Bean to use from the airport. I was impressed by his professional reply to my email, including a formal letter, and a large vehicle for the ride. On our way from the airport, I called John who quickly answered and agreed to meet us at the house which was only about 15 minutes away. Upon arrival, John warmly greeted us and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed, inlcuding extra towels, beach towels, and more blankets. He also noticed the last people that stayed there forgot to leave the keys so he went right out and came back with a different lock for the door and installed it with a new set of keys. What really impressed me even more was that he offerred to take us all to the grocery store, wait for us, and then drive us back so we had food and items we needed right away. Then he gave us some of his extra bus tickets he had so we could get to a few places before we bought our own weekly bus passes from the Hamilton Central Bus Station. All bus routes connect at one end from the Central Hamilton Bus Station. Bus stops are plentiful everywhere (and so close to house)... All pink poles head toward Hamilton, all blue poles head away from Hamilton. There were a few minor inconveniences, like circuit breakers flipping off and clothes drier not working. But I assume those will be fixed soon, so you might want to ask about it if that is a big deal for you. Also, the steps at the bottom to the ocean were washed away from one of the recent hurricanes so it was a little more work getting into the water, but still doable. We saw tons of beautiful fish, snails, and corals. The Rubis/Terceira's North Shore gas station across the street is such a convenience with food items and beverages (including wine & alcohol). The people working there were so friendly and helpful too. Overall, this house is so reasonably priced taking into consideration all the positives, the location, and an owner who is so generous and hospitable. Thank you John!!
