Special place!
The moment you drive down the driveway and see the amazing ocean views from the house you know you’re staying somewhere special! We stayed in Studio By the Sea which was a lovely apartment with very comfortable bed and kitchen that has everything you need to prepare a meal. Our host Lorna makes you feel very welcome and was extremely responsive to our communications. She generously allowed us to park our two seater EV next to the apartment and charge for free. We would happily stay there again if we return to Bermuda someday.

Deck House is heavenly!
Deck House exceeded my expectations in almost every way - very clean and well maintained, accurate description, plenty of amenities/kitchen tools/beach supplies, incredible views, beach path ease, and the loveliest hosts. Lorna and Greg were so welcoming and kind, happy to chat but respectful of solitude, and helpful with any needs. Even the towels and toilet paper were of high quality! The bay's water is calm and protected, with clear water and plentiful reefs for excellent snorkeling, and the pink sand is the softest of landings. If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing time, this is THE place!

Excellent Location and Wonderful Hosts
Lorna and Greg were excellent hosts! The property was clean and comfortable, allowing us to relax and take full advantage of the location. The view cannot be beat, and the access to the private beach was amazing. The south shore of Bermuda has so much to offer and this property was ideally situated to make the most of the island.

Perfect vacation!
Everything about our stay was perfect thanks to Lorna and Greg. The location, views, beaches, and hospitality of the Wilsons all exceeded our expectations. We rented a Twizy for the duration of our stay and were able to park it right in front of the Deck House. Everything we needed for our stay was provided - beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, etc. It was also a pleasure getting to know Lorna and Greg, they are wonderful people. I highly recommend staying at the Gemstones and hope to be back!

Relaxing beachside stay in Southampton
Lorna’s property is beautiful and inviting. The unit is fully-stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay (don’t forget to bring your own soaps/shampoos, though). Cross Bay Beach is steps away and is a quiet, private oasis with great snorkeling just a few meters from shore. I gave the location rating 4 stars because in hindsight, I would have preferred to stay somewhere with more dining options within walking distance, but I thoroughly enjoyed the quiet, slow pace in Southampton (having Henry’s across the street was convenient). Lorna was a friendly and helpful host.

Best Stay at Gemstone for Peace of Mind and Beach in Bermuda
The experience was wonderful. The place is much more beautiful in person than on-line. Lorna was a fantastic host. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked with items you really need for a comfortable stay. The beach is so close and beautiful with views from the deck of the studio. Hands down, this is my best stay in Bermuda, and I have been coming to Bermuda almost every year. Loved it! Thank you Lorna

Lovely Stay with Private Beach :)
We absolutely loved our stay at The Deck House! The studio layout was perfect for us, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. They even provided us with complimentary snorkel gear – perfect for exploring the beautiful private beach right out front! :) There's one minor thing to consider: the driveway is a bit steep. However, the bus stop conveniently located at the top makes getting around a breeze. Taxis can also easily pick you up there. Overall, The Deck House was a fantastic place to stay!

Beautiful, relaxing paradise!
My husband and I came for a mini getaway. It was perfect for us, as we were looking for a quiet beach vacation. The view from the property was amazing! Just steps away from a gorgeous beach. Often my husband and I were the only ones on the beach. Great location in walking distance to a few restaurants, lighthouse and horseshoe bay beach. Lorna is responsive and helpful host.

Loved my private beach
Lorna's place was just as described. I couldnt have asked for a more perfect view. My husband and I could view the ocean from our bed. The private beach gave me the perfect relaxtion day i was looking for. Swimming and reading a good book. Lorna was easily accessible and super helpful. Belinda the taxi driver is a must to book. She got us back and forth from the airport with ease.

South Road Paradise
Lorna and her family are beautiful people. The Gemstones Property is high on a hill overlooking the most beautiful beach (Cross Bay) During our stay we basically had the beach to ourselves. The walk to beach from Gemstones is fairly steep but there are two other routes. It’s not an issue to sway a decision to stay here. We stayed 10 days and our taxi driver Belinda who is a beautiful person stopped in route to gemstone from airport at supermarket so we could buy food, beer and wine etc. We prepared dinner three nights on excellent Weber gas grill and enjoyed our meal on the deck overlooking the water. Just spectacular. The location is an easy walk to King Henry the 8ths restaurant and store (their chicken legs, fish cakes and fish chowder are a must). Also the Reefs is just a 15 min walk. We bought 7 day bus pass and traveled the island with ease. I could go on and on but I’ll close by saying that my wife and I have found our Bermuda Home!!

Cozy, private beach getaway
Overall our stay was fine, but our arrival orientation was not the best. Although Lorna and Greg were on the premises most of the time we were there, and were very friendly, it took a couple of days and asking some questions to get all the information we needed (how to get hot water in the shower, etc.) We found out there was an information booklet in the nightstand.The unit is clean and modern, but small- basically the bed, one nightstand only, and a dresser and kitchen area. There is really no room for a table or desk. We found a small folding wooden table in the closet and brought in lawn chairs to use when eating indoors. No fresh eggs, fruit or vegetables, but maybe we misunderstood the listing. The private beach is lovely with all sorts of beach equipment available for us to carry down and use there. The first day we carried chairs down the hill, then the second day we were told there were chairs at the beach for our use. The washer and dryer were easily accessible and full sized. Walking to restaurants, a little liquor/grocery store, and the bus stop were all easy to do once up the hilly driveway to the road.

The most beautiful gem on all of Bermuda
Every part of our stay at Gemstones with Lorna was better than we could have dreamed. The Deck House was extremely clean and well cared for. The bed was new and very very comfortable. The Deck House had everything you would need to make a meal or reheat (pots, pans, kettle, coffee maker, paper towel, microwave). The towels that Lorna provided were incredibly soft. There is not a lot of surface area to place things on around the Deck House, so we set up the two little dinner tables that Lorna had provided as some additional counter space for sunglasses, hats, etc. The view was breathtaking. There are 3 bbqs on site so you never have to worry about not being able to grill up your food. The stove also worked wonderfully, and boiled water very fast. Beach chairs and an umbrella are also provided by Lorna so you’ll have everything you need for the most beautiful beach on the property. Lorna is also a wealth of knowledge about the country and the best sites to see. We had a lot of fun taking the bus around the island. It’s super easy to use and a great way to meet people. If you have difficulty with your mobility, you should be aware that the driveway down to Gemstones is very steep. So if you are walking, it can be a bit of a challenge to get up the driveway. Just keep this in mind. We highly highly recommend staying with Lorna.

DECK HOUSE IS THE BEST!
My older daughter and her friend stayed one week at the Deck House while the rest of the family stayed upstairs at The Gemstones. Both were AMAZING places to stay. The owners made us feel right at home. Everything was clean and in working order. The owners, Greg and Lorna, even accommodated a request for early check in. We arranged transportation with ease with Sylvia, their transportation service, and she and her other drivers (especially Kevin) were always on time and courteous. Our favorite moments included Crossbay Beach which is a mere 2-minute walk from the property. We loved being able to go out there to snorkel, swim, and just enjoy the beautiful views. We snorkeled right off the beach and saw a huge family of 10 parrot fish. We also had a boat charter to snorkel but this beat it by far! We also enjoyed sunsets at the lighthouse and walks/jogs on the Railway Trail, both 10 minutes from the property. This is mostly shaded and if you go west towards Dockyard, you will have AMAZING views of the north shore. We had an amazing day trip to Blue Hole park. We hiked in the preserve, saw amazing caves, swam and jumped off rocks at Blue Hole park, and swam at Walsingham cave (well only 2 of our group of 6 were brave enough to swim in the cave waters). We ended the day with lunch at the Swizzle Inn, just a 5 minute walk up the road. We also jumped off cliffs at Admiralty Park. This is the BEST VRBO we have ever rented. Don't think twice!
