Chef’s Kitchen & Dining

The heart of the home is the newly remodeled designer kitchen, completed in 2025 by a top local architect. It’s a dream for those who love to cook or gather around food. Outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances, ample counter space, and a central island, this space opens into a cozy lounge with a fireplace and large-screen TV. French doors lead from here to the outdoor covered patio with cozy dining area perfect for cocktails, casual meals, or simply soaking in the island breeze. You’ll find everything you need here to enjoy long dinners with friends or family. (If a chef is needed we can help you source for a small fee).

Backgammon comfortably sleeps up to 9 adults across five thoughtfully laid-out bedrooms:
• The primary suite features a king bed, ensuite bathroom, and direct access to the garden and pool—perfect for a late-night dip.
• A second garden-level bedroom also has a king bed, ensuite bathroom, and French doors leading to the tropical garden.
• A third king bedroom is on the main floor with its own ensuite bath.
• The final two bedrooms each have queen beds and share a spacious Jack and Jill bathroom, ideal for siblings or friends.

In addition, there’s a full bathroom near the kitchen and patio—convenient for showering off after the pool or beach. Each bathroom is stocked with plush towels, hotel-style soaps, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion.

Step outside and you’ll find yourself in your own private paradise. The large pool is surrounded by comfortable loungers and swaying palm trees, offering shade and serenity. A lower-level garden area adds to the sense of space and peace. This area can also be reserved for small events or special gatherings for an additional fee (just let us know and we can help).

For the curious explorers in your group, there’s even a “secret garden” tucked away on the property. It’s perfect for reading, meditating, or just escaping for a quiet moment.

Liz, the host, is a talented artist. Her unique touch is found throughout the home, with curated artwork and accents that reflect the vibrancy and charm of island life.

I live in a separate unit on the property with my small dog, but you will have full privacy.

A Note from Liz

“I designed Backgammon to be a space for connection, inspiration, and ease. Whether you’re swimming in the pool, sharing stories over dinner, or discovering the garden paths, I hope this home adds a touch of magic to your stay in Bermuda. While I live quietly in a separate unit, I’m always happy to help if needed.”
