Other things to note
Second Cottage on the Property:
We have a second charming cottage for those seeking a full family retreat. If you are interested in renting both cottages.


Just so you know, the dock area is shared with the second cottage, creating a shared space for a complete family experience. This arrangement allows all guests to enjoy the waterfront amenities while fostering a friendly and communal atmosphere. Paddle boards and Kayaks are available and shared with the cottage next door. These are to be used at your own risk. Please respect this property and when finished using please make sure to put it back in its spot on the beach. Do not leave paddle boards, Kayaks and Oars on the dock. The wind can pick up quickly and they can be washed away easily.

No Large Parties on Premises:
Considering the serene environment and the comfort of all guests, we would like to ask that there be no large parties on the premises. We encourage a peaceful atmosphere to ensure that everyone enjoys a relaxing stay.

Waste Disposal:
Trash collection is scheduled for Thursdays. As trash only comes once a week we ask if you could kindly help us out and place your trash in the provided black bin and move to the top of the driveway. Recycling pickup occurs on Fridays, so please position your recycling at the top of the driveway by the roadside in the blue bags provided.

Security Measures:
For your safety, please lock all doors and windows when not around. Your peace of mind is our priority.

Feeding the Fish:
The fish in the area enjoy leftovers, so feel free to share. However, we kindly request that you only toss over food that you would eat. Our efforts to maintain a tropical environment include keeping critters at bay, so feeding the fish the leftover food you would normally throw in the trash helps.

Tropical Environment Tips:
We're in a tropical setting, so to ensure a comfortable stay, please don't leave any food out on the counters. Eat in the bedroom. This small precaution goes a long way in keeping our surroundings pristine.

Energy Conservation Request:
As we aim to provide you with the best possible rates and maintain an environmentally conscious approach, we would like your cooperation in conserving energy. Before leaving the cottage, please turn off the lights and set the air conditioning to 22/23 degrees Celsius on the dehumidifier cycle (The teardrop). This small effort contributes to cost savings and aligns with our commitment to sustainable practices during your stay. Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need more help.

Your cooperation in following these guidelines helps create a pleasant and worry-free experience during your stay at the cottages. If you have any questions or need any more help, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Great location with a beautiful view!

The cottage has great views from the kitchen, living room and terrace. We saw a variety of birds, fish and turtles. The bus stops are just steps away from the cottage and if you are comfortable enough walking on the roads it is just a short distance to Flatts Village and good restaurants. The host was very responsive to our questions and needs and provided excellent information about the things to do on the island.

Boathouse Bermuda Vacation

Great stay for couple overlooking Harrington Sound. Snorkled right out of the back yard with a great variety of fish, rays, and a turtle. Location allows quick access to zoo/aquarium, smith beach, turner point golf, and some very good restaurants. Great place with great view for a quiet vacation for two.

Fabulous Stay in Bermuda

This cottage was amazing. It was clean and had everything we could need and more. Situated facing the water, and could see the water from every window. Outside area has lounge chairs, grill and table. Loved being able to jump in the water right outside the back door. Location is perfect! We had one little hiccup with the internet through no fault of the homeowner; it was definitely the provider. Regardless, Susan was very responsive and addressed it immediately. One of the best places we have ever stayed and we will be back and hope to stay at the Boathouse again!

The Perfect Stay

I've been coming to Bermuda for a little over 30 years, and this has been one of the nicest places that i've stayed on the Island. It felt like a mini resort. The location is fantastic. Its centrally located, so everything is easy to get to. As for the Boathouse itself. It was immaculate and beautifully decorated. The host had everything that we needed already in the house. The property is unbelievable. It has its own private little beach.... We loved sitting outside every morning before venturing out for the day and when we came home, we'd jump in the Sound and relax. The sunsets are amazing from the house as well. I could go on and on about how great the place is.... I cant wait to go back !!!!! Y airesort just for us.

Great stay in Bermuda

We stayed at the Boathouse for four days in May 2024 for a brief holiday following Bermuda’s SailGP Grand Prix event. The property was exactly as described and spotlessly clean. All furniture, appliances and amenities are quite new. The private part of the outdoor space was great for BBQing when we didn’t feel like going to a restaurant. The shared beach area and waterfront are beautiful and peaceful. It was awesome to have access to paddle boards and the property has a little inlet where fish and birds congregate and we even saw a sea turtle. The grocery store was about a 20 minute walk and restaurants, the aquarium and zoo about 15 — which was great! Walking might not be ideal for the faint of heart as there are a few spots without sidewalk, but Hitch drivers (Bermuda’s Uber equivalent) were always available and there are bus stops just a few steps away. Susan was a great host. She made sure we got in OK and answered any questions but didn’t impose at all. We would absolutely stay at the Boathouse again. The property is —like so much of Bermuda — amazing.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Smith

Host profile image
Hi my name is Susan and I have been hosting for over 6 years. I have lived in Bermuda for most of my life born and raised. I love to travel so I understand the importance of a great place to stay and try to get tips to constantly improve the cottages while traveling to other places. I enjoy giving tips off off beaten path of things to do while in Bermuda.

Why they chose this property

The two cottages are part of my family home. I grew up in the house accross the street and my parents managed the cottages as tourist rentals growing up. I love Harrington Sound and the area! Flatts is very picturesque and only a 5 minute walk where there are a few restaurants. The area is extremely safe and everyone is friendly.

What makes this property unique

This property has its own dock and little man- made beach area for relaxing during the day. Off the dock you can often see our resident parrot fish and tons of marine life. You can choose to hang out in the little beach area or be more private on the private patio with two loungers only for use of the Boathouse. The patio also has a large outdoor dining table and another sitting section to enjoy the sunset and have a cocktail. I forgot to mention the sunsets are amazing. We provide Kayaks for your use to explore the bays and inlets of Harrington Sound.
