Grape Bay Cottages

We had a fabulous time at Grape Bay Cottages. It was our second time there and won’t be our last. Maria and Douglas are very lovely and welcoming hosts and have thought of everything to make your stay wonderful. Cal’s taxi services made our stay just perfect, with her friendly and knowledgeable banter about the island. Cal also gave us great suggestions on where to go and we very much enjoyed our time with her. The beach is very private and clean. Great snorkelling right off the beach. We have stayed in both cottages and would recommend them both.

My in-laws, daughter, husband and I spend 7 amazing nights in the Beach Crest Cottage and never wanted to leave! Maria and Doug are the most kind, generous hosts, presenting us with wine and rum cake upon arrival and organizing all our transport with the amazing Cal. The views are breathtaking, the beach is empty and feels like it is all yours. Walk to the left to find amazing tide pools for little ones to swim in. A ten minute drive to Hamilton where you can find multiple restaurants, boat rentals, jet skiing, shopping, etc. We never wanted to leave and hope to be back one day in paradise!

Have you ever dreamt of living in a nice little house, right on the beach, in beautiful Bermuda? Well, sometimes, dreams come true! My wife and I spent our anniversary in the ‘Crest’ Grape Bay Cottage (one of two cottages) owned by Maria and Doug Frith. It was a wonderful week! Maria and Doug help you with whatever arrangements you might need - from stocking up the kitchen with whatever essentials you might like, to arranging transportation between the airport and restaurants, etc. They have a long-standing relationship with lady Cal - who is much more than a cab driver (but she is that too!) Cal will pick you up, pick your groceries up, take you to town, or restaurants, etc. - all while giving you an education on many interesting things about the island. The whole experience is truly wonderful - evenings sitting outside on the back porch, overlooking the ocean as the moon comes up, listening to the waves and the tree frogs. And during the day, a very short walk down the stairs and you are on a very beautiful and secluded beach. The house is neat and clean, and well appointed. We’ve been to Bermuda several times, at various different places, but in Grape Bay Cottages, we have found a home away from home. Can’t wait to do it again next year!

Grape Bay Cottages are one of the most unique and beautiful places in the world. The charming cottages are situated overlooking an incredible private beach with a spectacular view. Beach Home is directly on the beach, and Beach Crest is slightly higher in elevation, providing an incredible vista over the turquoise waters of Grape Bay. I have stayed in both and they are both amazing.||||The owners, Doug and Maria, are not only nice people, but they make you feel at home in their little corner of paradise. They will welcome you and ensure that you have a comfortable and flawless stay. ||||I have been coming here over a period of 28 years and I still marvel at it's perfection and beauty, and appreciate the kind and accommodating hosts. If you are looking for peace and quiet in a paradise, this is the place for you. ||||Having said that, Hamilton city is a quick cab ride away and there is a mini-mart within walking distance. ||||Perfection, beauty, superlative relaxation is the name of the game at Grape Bay Cottages.

If you are visiting Bermuda, there is no better place to stay than the Grape Bay Cottages. You cannot get a more authentic Bermudian experience than staying right on the beach, walking distance to the rail trail, grocery store, and downtown Hamilton. Maria and Doug are super responsive and extremely helpful with tips and suggestions for what to do, see, and eat on the island. There is no other place I will ever stay when visiting Bermuda!

Just had an amazing “staycation” at Beach Home with a family member over from the U.K. Location is fantastic, could not be any closer to the secluded beach which felt almost private as there was hardly anyone else on it! Plenty of space to relax and unwind with all outdoor furniture provided. Had booked a whale watching trip to experience the annual humpback whale migration and, whilst we did see several whales on the trip, we actually saw more activity from our terrace! Not to mention the shoal of parrot fish which paid a daily visit. The owners, Doug and Maria are so accommodating and even gave us a home-baked Bermuda rum cake to get our holiday started. Highly recommend this hidden gem. Michelle and Anthony, originally from Oswaldtwistle.

I stayed at the upper cottage at Grape Bay. To put it simply, it was everything I could have wanted and then some. Maria and Doug are exceptional stewards of the island and their cottages. The cottage had everything we needed for our 11 day stay. Fully stocked kitchen with all of the cookware and appliances needed, including an outdoor grill! Clean comfortable bed and bath accommodations. A lovely living/dining room with fireplace. Plenty of space for a couple or family and a beautiful porch and patio overlooking what some call Grape Bay beach but I'll just refer to as heaven. Honestly, I could not have imaged a better place to reconnect with my wife and to enjoy some downtime.

We stayed at Beach Home 10/2-10/7/23 with friends. They had stayed 3x prior. The location is like no other, it’s right on the beach. It’s so beautiful. It’s in the middle of the island so to get to either end you’re not going more than 35min. It’s spacious and has AC. This is not luxury accommodations, but the location is top notch. We can’t wait to go back.
