NEIGHBORHOOD:
Windward Mark is located in Somerset in Sandys Parish in the west end of the island. We love to explore Somerset on foot straight from our doorstop. We will leave guests details of our favorite walking routes. The railroad trail walking and biking path is a 10 minute walk away. You can also walk into Somerset Village which has a pharmacy, liquor store, ATM and a great hole-in-the wall take out spot. A 15 minute walk away is Cambridge Beaches hotel with a spa, restaurants, water sports/scooter/electric vehicle rental. Somerset Long Bay is the closest beach and is a 20 minute walk.
Dockyard is an 8 minute drive and has several restaurants, shopping and a fantastic museum. It is also the departure point for many excursions as this is where the cruise ships dock.
GETTING AROUND:
There is a commuter ferry into Hamilton that runs twice in the morning and three times in the afternoon/evening from Cavello Bay. The bus stop is a 10 minute walk away. Dockyard is nearby with ferry service to Hamilton year round and St. Georges in the summer. The area is very walkable. Scooter, bicycle and small electric vehicle rentals are available for rental nearby.
Our family of 6 had a wonderful week here. Very well appointed home, super clean. Kate and all of the people and places she recommended were spot on. Special shout out to Arthur Wade who was way more than a taxi driver -- history buff, tour guide, and all around good onion. My son caught a variety of fish from the dock. Great spot for quick dip or paddle on either side of the house. Great having the Ferry Dock right across Cavallo Bay was key for outings. With a large family and no car rentals in Bermuda (too many of us to rent 3 twizzies) you would need to be organized and study the bus/ferry schedules and/or arrange taxis in advance to plan your outing for the day. If you have your own transport then no worries whatsoever. Our kids are old enough and we were up for the adventure. The upside was that we really felt immersed in the local Sandys culture. Would highly recommend.
Kate's home is so comfortable and in a lovely neighborhood. It is in a more secluded location which we love! We like our privacy and being able to relax, while balancing activities and crowds. Honestly, it felt very much like a home away from home. Beautifully updated with all the amenities needed to make your own meals. With water on both sides, you had several options for outdoor space to hang out. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our morning and evening walks as the neighborhood is free from traffic and we could do so safely. We would definitely recommend it and would certainly stay again if given the opportunity!
