The pretty little cottage is perched at the water’s edge, overlooking Harrington Sound near the village of Flatts.

With A/C and a ceiling fan, as well as a heater, the cottage has a four poster double maple bed with a new mattress, and its own little three piece bath with shower (and hair dryer so you don’t have to pack one).

The cottage has its own private phone line with a phone jack, and television service (no cable). Wireless internet is available.

In the kitchenette we have a standard drip coffee maker, kettle, toaster oven, clock radio, small fridge/stove unit (freezer space small with only ice trays), hot plate and an iron and ironing board. In the garden there is a barbecue as well (coals need to be purchased), so you can lounge and watch the para-sailers float by while your steaks sizzle.

The wonderfully clear water off the dock is about 5 feet deep. There is NO FISHING permitted from this property, including from the dock. 2 towels are provided for swimming at the dock. There is also a two-seater kayak available for guests of C22 only, along with two life jackets. If you prefer to lounge on the waterfront deck and dock, there are four chairs (2 lounge chairs) for you to use and relax by the water.

There are no sleeping facilities for children as the unit suits a single person or a couple only (the unit is about 260 square feet). There is no formal closet but the unit has hooks on backs of doors.

Bus stop is across the street outside the main house driveway. Flatts Village is less than a 1/4 mile walk to restaurants, aquarium, post office and tiny convenience store. Bus tokens can be purchased from the post office. There are many other bus routes that run through Flatts so getting around is never a problem.

Arrangements can be made for maid service/change of linens (for an extra charge) for stays longer than 1 week.

Harrington Sound is is calm water to snorkel comfortably or play with the parasail company that operates in the Sound. There are fine dining establishments nearby such as the renowned Tom Moore’s Tavern and the Swizzle Inn for drinks and snacks. The Perfume Factory and the Bermuda Glass-Blowing Studio are nearby as well.

As far as boat rentals, there are no boat rentals on Harrington Sound. The closest place would be Blue Hole Water Sports out of Grotto Bay Hotel.

The old town of St. George’s is only 15 minutes away and well worth a couple of days exploration: many fine buildings from the 1600’s still stand and include handsome old homes, museums and churches. Make time to swim at Tobacco Bay and Clearwater Beach when in the St. George’s area: both are simply lovely. We so look forward to seeing you at our pretty waterside cottage. It’s the last word in romantic escapes.
