Spacious Beachfront and Private Resort living

The Deck House was a very nice place to stay! Lorna is such an amazing hostess and very friendly! We liked having

Great view

Lorna and Greg are so friendly and helpful, they really made us feel welcome and answered any questions both before our stay and during. The situation of Gemstones is beautiful, wonderful views - we saw whales passing by! - and right by the beach. We recommend the Henry VIII restaurant, a very short walk away.

This is a place where you can wake up looking out at the ocean, go to what I consider the most beautiful beach in Bermuda, view the sunset from the deck - all right where you are. The walk to the golf course, restaurants, or lighthouse was fine for an overweight dad in his 50's. Of all the places in the world that I have vacationed, this location is #1. The room (Deck House) is great because of the view and breeze. Thought it is lacking a table/chairs, the ones on the rooftop and on the patio/lawn are just fine. Hosts are out of this world.

The gemstone deck house was a wonderful place for me and my girlfriend to stay while we were in Bermuda. It was a great location and only a few minute walk to horseshoe beach and multiple bus stations that got us around the island. Lorna and her family were a gracious hosts during our stay and we're always willing to help us out if we had any questions. We would stay here again the next we're in Bermuda.

Absolutely Bermudiful! Lorna and her family were excellent hosts during our 4 night stay in their Deck House. Steps away from what could easily be a private beach, with public transportation and restaurants in walking distance. Their home is situated halfway between the West & East ends, so no ride commute was ever more than 30 minutes. We decided to rent an electric car from Current Vehicles but there is also Rugged Rentals and another company close to the Grotto Resort. This is the most efficient and affordable option if you like to experience the island they way we did. The Deck House was the perfect size for 2 people, fit with a full kitchen, modern bathroom and plenty of closet space. A flight of stairs on the exterior lead directly to a beautiful patio with spectacular views and comfortable seating. Security was never an issue as it was a private residence with very little passers by. Lorna is friendly, passionate, kind, genuine and can put together a mean fish cake! Her responses were quick, informative and helpful. I plan on bringing my entire family to this paradise and will definitely be renting from Lorna again; I’ll be sure to reserve the main house thi

The property was absolutely beautiful! The views from the patio even better than the pics show. Location on the south coast just perfect to all the beauty Bermuda has to offer. The best part is the secluded cove down below. Lorna and her family are great hosts!

We stayed for two nights. Of the three rentals we stayed at in Bermuda, this was our favorite. The hosts were very accommodating and the unit was clean and as described. The private beach was just a short walk down the stairs, and it was beautiful and empty in late October even though the weather was perfect. The location is great on the southern shore of Bermuda for all the stunning South beaches. We had a rental car and it was easy to park there. Next time we visit Bermuda we will definitely stay here again if available.

We loved our stay! We stayed at a nearby resort last year & Lorna’s Gemstones property hooked us in 100%! The view was unbelievable, private beach, directly on the bus route, and a 3 minute walk to Henry iiiv restaurant which has became one of our favorites (sushi was amazing!)! Close enough to horseshoe bay, where we also had a delish lunch at the Gulfstream Restaurant!We absolutely hope to return to the Deck House! Our room was small but perfect and we needed nothing else! Bed was comfy, AC worked great, filtered water, beach towels & toys.

Another wonderful stay at this wonderful property with wonderful hosts Lorna and Greg!

Gemstones is a beautiful property with an incredible view and a secluded beach just down the bluff.Lorna is a gracious host and goes out of her way to help guests feel comfortable and welcome.Will definitely return - highly recommend.

Perfect location - lovely stay - great hostess - thank you Lorna x

Perfect stay at Gemstone. Can’t wait to return soon. From the moment we arrived Lorna was an amazing host. She welcomed us warmly showed us around and even joined us upstairs to share a bottle of wine. Our place was so cozy. Fully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. The location was unbeatable just a few steps from the most breathtaking beach. Every day was a treat from the sounds of the waves to the stunning views Lorna, thank you for everything. You’re truly an incredible person and made our vacation unforgettable. We’re already looking forward to our next visit, hopefully next year

This is a lovely property that has all basic features and amenities for a casual comfortable stay. The location is out of this world-overlooking the ocean with just steps down to a secluded beach that feels almost like a private beach. The hosts are very welcoming and accommodating. We look forward to booking with them again. It was an absolutely incredible summer vacation.

The Deck House is an amazing Gem of Bermuda. Look no further than this property if you want an extraordinary, relaxing stay. The view every day is gorgeous; the ability to walk to your own private beach is out of this world. The Deck House was clean, stocked with everything you need to cook with. The bed was super comfortable. The best part of our stay-was the hosts-Lorna and Greg Wilson. Friendly, hospitable… we learned so much talking with Greg at night. This was a time we will never forget. So what are you waiting for?? Book it now!! You won’t be sorry. We’ll be back!!

Fantastic stay. Accurate description. Right on bus route and basically a beautiful private beach. Wonderful hosts. We will come again.

We enjoyed our stay at Gemstones so very much, had a wonderful time visiting the South Shore beaches including the private beach (Cross Bay) at the property. Lorna was so pleasant and kind to work with, we thank you very much for being so helpful. Enjoyed the lettuce from your little garden a couple of times. The views right from the room and Upper Deck area are stunning . We will treasure our memories and hope to make more with another visit in the near future. Thank you Lorna!

We spent a week at the 'Deck House'. It was a wonderful place to stay and the location was awesome. Lorna was very friendly, helpful and provided us with many suggestions on things to do and places to go. The views from the upper deck were amazing and we enjoyed many meals outside looking at the views and listening to the ocean. I would definitely recommend this apartment.

This property is exceptional. From our initial stages of searching for a property to pre-visit questions and arrival on the property, it was seamless. Lorna and Greg are very kind, exceptional hosts and we chatted with them often. Greg is an expert on island food, and Lorna gave us helpful advice on where to go, how to get there and general island knowledge. We enjoyed seeing them every day, and wouldn't hesitate to go back. The view from the property is stunning and the private beach was perfect!

Will be back for sure !Would give 6 stars if possible !!!Lorna was an amazing host & made us feel like family

The location is a little off the beaten path and relatively quiet/private - which we liked. The view of the water and beach below is absolutely beautiful. You have access to a semi private little beach down below, with a wonderful view on the terrace to sit and eat breakfast. Lorna and her husband are very friendly and kind.

We had a fabulous stay at Lorna's property! First trip to Bermuda and couldn't have asked for anything better. Beautiful view of ocean, easy beach access, bus stop at the top a de hill, great location, excellent host! Accommodations were wonderful, comfortable bed, ocean view and sounds of nature....had everything we needed. Several restaurants within walking distance. Henry's pantry has the best chicken leg and egg roll, perfect to eat while watching whales from the deck house patio! Lorna was very accommodating from the time of booking, providing transportation information (Belinda was great taxi service), and making check-in/out a breeze. Perfect home away from home! Bermuda is such a beautiful island, people are friendly, lots to see and do. Hope to come back with our family and stay in the main house. Thanks Lorna for a fabulous stay!

Lorna, the property, the beaches, and the island are amazing! If you want to go to a nearby restaurant or grocery store, call Lorna’s transportation, contact Belinda Wilson and her husband Ed. Schedule them in advance and they’re great. “Hitch” is their Uber and it is horrible!

We stayed for 8 nights, the property is simply incredible. The views are breathtaking and it's about 1 minute from one of, if not, the best beach on the island. We went all over and couldn't find a beach we liked better.100% recommend to anyone that wants an excellent location and a wonderful host.If we ever come back to Bermuda in the future, we are definitely going to be looking at Gemstones again.Thanks for a wonderful vacation Lorna!

Lorna was a great host, very responsive with communications and provided transportation tips to/from airport. We basically had a private beach during our stay, easy walk to eat and other beaches, room nice and comfortable for our stay.

Lorna is an exceptional host. Great communication, pre and during our stay. Our first time staying here and will Defintely return. On bus route so no car required, walk to restaurant and view can’t be beat. Thank you.

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.

Great location and very comfortable studio. Host Lorna is super kind and helpful. Location is perfect on a nice beach. You can see the ocean from inside the studio! Studio is well equipped and comfortable. I will definitely return!

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!

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.

Our stay at Gemstones was pretty much perfect. The setting, looking out at the ocean, the awesome beach so close by, the cozy accommodations with everything we needed and the super friendly hosts made everything wonderful. We will be back!

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!

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.

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
