C20. Devonshire studio Apartment at Devonshire Bay

The handsome house is very close to the bus stop on South Shore Road near Devonshire Bay a pretty beach and harbour where boats are moored in a protected cove, and where fishermen often sell their catch.With its private entrance and tropical garden area and patio, the apartment offers a very generously sized space for the great comfort of up to 4 persons. Views of the ocean can be enjoyed from the upper garden from your deck chair...

The large double bed is tucked discreetly away behind bookcases for privacy: the rollout sofa provides comfortable seating during the day, and a cozy spot to curl up in at night.

Nearby attractions would include the lovely dining facilities at Ariel Sands Hotel , not a 10 minute walk west down the South Shore Road. There are grocery, pharmacy and cafe facilities at less than 10 minutes east of the house at Collectors Hill, along with two churches and a pub!

The nearby Verdmont Museum is a must see if you want insight into how people lived in the 1700's. The furnishings, wall treatments, floor coverings and furniture are fascinating and the collection of children's toys is wonderful. For those intrigued by nature reserves, Spittal pond is a hike you won't forget as you walk a path through dense tropical undergrowth, past a salt marsh (with any luck - filled with migrating water birds...), and up the ridge to see the Atlantic rollers pounding in on the black rocks and refilling the rock pools with small fish and crabs. The quiet there is complete- and the scent of damp earth,vegetation and clean ocean air is like perfume...This is as close to what Bermuda was like before people stumbled upon it 500 years ago as one is likely to experience.

Over in Flatts Village you can enjoy pizza or ice-cream before or after you watch the interesting tidal torrent pour through the narrows under the bridge, along with its full complement of leaping small boys. The 1926 Aquarium is right there at the bridge with its delightful collection of fish, birds and turtles and an absorbing series of displays demonstrating the geological origins of the island, the whaling industry, deep sea diving, underwater treasure discoveries and so. A small facility, it suits baby legs very nicely: toddlers aren't overwhelmed with vast distances to cover and older folks appreciate the gift shop and the friendly staff.You can dine at Rusticos right afterwards.

All these delights are within 5 miles of your accommodations- and then theres all the rest of the island to see! St.Georges: 20 minutes away by bus, and Naval Dockyard a mere 20 minutes by ferry from Hamilton....and beach after beach in between all up the South Shore Road. Don't forget Harbour Nights either: come to town and meet the locals at the Front Street marketplace for the best of local food and talent on Wednesday nights from may to October.
