The stunning beauty of the property and the hospitality of Wendell is exactly as you've read in the other reviews. If you want to stay near the beautiful beaches on the South Shore you can't beat it. If you'd like to be within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and nightlife, Hamilton is probably more your speed.

Great location with lovely private beach

The best parts of our stay were the location of this property, the nearby private beach, and the super nice, and helpful host, Wendell. We stayed in a separate, private section of his home, and it was clean, comfortable and quiet. We'd recommend it to a couple seeking a low-key, affordable getaway!

Beautiful Beach

We loved our stay. It had a beautiful beach within a 5 minute walk. There were bus stops right outside our door. There was a private entrance and wonderful spots to sit and enjoy the view on the property. Our host was helpful. He let us drop off our luggage early and gave excellent advice on spots to check out on the island. Highly recommend.

Seaside cottage - private beach

The owner, Wendell is a wealth of information- a local that knows everything and probably everyone. The small hilltop unit is a 2 min walk to a private cove ( down many stairs) for swimming and relaxing . Quaint and quiet location overlooking a breathtaking view. We used the convenient bus stop a few steps away to see everything on the island. We love the south shore location and the friendly hosts.

Great place to either enjoy the beach and explore Bermuda

Wendell will treat you like one of the family. He showed us the sights of the island, and helped us to get bus tickets and food. The location is great, and you have a lovely spot to look out to sea. It's a short walk to a lovely secluded beach.

Perfect for exploring Bermuda

The room is just steps from a bus stop and about a 20 minute walk to Horseshoe Bay Beach. The room is tiny, but perfect for the person/couple that does not plan to spend much time in the room and wants to explore the island.

Amazing Location

My first visit to Bermuda and Wendell, Xinia, Jasmine, grandma (who’s 98 and sharp as a tac!), Spice(the cat) and their friend, Alfie were amazing hosts! The location of this property is perfect! Ocean view and access to the beach is steps away. Bus stops right outside of the property—super easy bus system! Can’t wait to return to Bermuda!

The Best Location with the best hosts

We had a wonderful time at Wendell's & Xinia apartment such wonderful hosts, wouldn't of wanted to stay anywhere else we will certainly miss all the chats and stories and the views from your garden. The apartment is conveniently close to Bus stops which makes it so easy to see all the island, which is so beautiful with its turquoise waters and white sand beaches its paradise. Hope to come back and visit you both in the future with our 3 girls.

Amazing location!

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Wendell and his family are so friendly and welcoming. The location is amazing. Walk a few hundred yards to Henry’s pantry. Horseshoe Bay beach is about a 15 minute walk. The private beach in front of the property itself is absolutely breathtaking. The bus stop is right outside your door! We highly recommend eating at Devils Isle Cafe. We had an amazing time.

The owners were a blessing to know and work with.

Beautiful location, clean, neat. The ocean views were amazing. The owners were a kind family and fixed dinner for me on my first night there. They made sure I had what I needed. The weather was rainy and cooler than expected and I did not get much sight seeing in but that’s ok because this was a business trip and I spent most of my time on my computer. Next trip will be more for pleasure and hopefully much warmer.

The whispering waves

This property is situated a 15 minutes walk from the beach Horseshoe Bay, and many other lovely beaches. The busstopp is right outside, and the buses take you to the city of Hamilton in 25 minutes, going every 30 minutes. We bought buscards which also included the ferries, so we made it easily around this beautiful island. Friendly hosts!

Spring Break 2024 and a major rain storm in Miami delayed and cancelled our flight till the next day, losing an night in our stay, an early flight the next day with transportation arranged to the property allowed for our host Wendall to give us a personal tour in his vehicle from Hamilton to the Dockyards, that was so comprehensive and interesting that we were able to ensure getting the most of our remaining time in Bermuda. Wendall was a 5 star saviour with what to do, what to see, and where to eat, it all made our stay very memorable. Bermuda as I quipped is exceptionally picturesque or simply "picture perfect".

Everything was lovely!

The property was lovely, it had everything that we would expect and needed. The location was as described, being able to sit outside and see the beautiful water everyday was awesome. We went to Horseshoe Bay almost everyday. It is an easy walk there. From the front of the home, you can sit and see the lighthouse and the golf course as well. We ate out everyday so it was nice that several restaurants were within walking distance. There is a bus stop just outside of the home so it was convenient to catch the bus everywhere, to Hamilton, to dockyard, to St. George's and even to and from the airport. The scooter place up the road was convenient as well and we took advantage of that one day too. Wendell and Xinia were wonderful and polite hosts. We would definitely stay there again!

Wow! Like the property title says, LOCATION is amazing!!! You are on the cliff above a beautiful and private beach. Its a true paradise!!!! Most days it was just us on the beach. You do need to be able to do stairs to go to and from the beach since it is on a cliff, but its so worth it for the amazing views! The public bus system stops directly in from of the property, so getting around for cheap is really easy. The room is great with everything you need. The owner, Wendell, greeted us when we arrived and showed us around the property. He was so kind and inviting and answered any questions we had. He also told us some history of Bermuda. I would surely stay here again and would recommend you stay as well. Thanks for your kindness, Wendell! ♥️

Quick 5 days in the beautiful country of Bermuda

Wendell greeted us warmly. We arrived a bit early from airport. The grounds were tidy. The actual room was older, needing some updates. There were some leftover personal care item’s left in a bathroom drawer with a chunk of old dried up bread. But bathroom was clean otherwise. Floors were clean which is important. The a/c worked well. We typically spend very little time in our room, we are not real particular. We would possibly stay again for future visits.

Unbelievable location + most kind and generous hosts

Wendell and his wife were so incredibly kind and so generous with their time. They took us on a driving tour of the island to get us acquainted with our surroundings- it ended up making a huge difference to how we spent our time. The location is in walking distance to restaurants (including some of the best sushi I’ve ever had). The views from the property and everywhere you walk are incredible. The private beach for the neighborhood was AMAZING. We had it ALL TO OURSELVES. You can also walk to Horshoe beach - which is the most incredible experience!!! important to note you can walk to the scooter, bike and mini electric car rental place. This helped a lot. The interior could use some updating, but you won’t be spending your time inside.

Great stay in beautiful Bermuda

Wow! What a view! We had a great time being in Bermuda at Wendell’s. His whole family is super sweet and Wendell knows a lot of tips for great spots to visit. The outside chairs were nice in the evening to chat with a glass of wine. We rented a car for 2 days and a scooter one day to see more parts of the island, but you can walk to some nearby beaches and restaurants. The Reefs restaurants were our favorite! Make sure you visit The Swizzle Inn for a rum swizzle and go to The Blue Hole to jump off the cliff! Wendell was a great host and his daughter Jas was a sweetheart who helped us get to the airport and showed us her favorite beach spot in Somerset. Definitely recommend! 🥰❤️

Bermudaful Vacation at Whispering Waves

We have visited Bermuda at least 20 times but always by cruise ship. We were looking for a different experience and wanted to stay on Island in a Bermudian home. We are very familiar with the Island and knew exactly where we wanted to be and Whispering Waves did not disappoint. We were within walking distance to one of the most beautiful beaches Horseshoe Bay, the bus stop(s) that went to Dockyard/Hamilton were directly in front of the property, and a short walk in either direction were restaurants. The view of the ocean and beach below Whispering Waves was breathtaking from a special vantage point Wendell created for his guests to enjoy. We especially loved having our morning tea and breakfast overlooking the ocean and listening to the waves in the evening before bed. Wendell and Xinia are remarkable hosts they went above and beyond to be sure we had a lovely vacation. We will definitely return to Whispering Waves! Thank you for sharing your beautiful property and Island knowledge with us.
