Grape Bay Cottages — Hotel in Main Island

My sister and I stayed at Beach Home and Maria and Doug truly made us feel at home in this wonderful 1930's beachfront cottage centrally located on a sublime beach. We watched the parrot fish swim along the reef rocks, along with a daily visit from a spotted ray, either front the comfortable porch or sitting with chairs right on the beach. The moonrise and sunrise each morning was a perfect way to start our day, and we viewed the milky way and shooting stars at night. ||The cottage is comfortably appointed with all you need to enjoy cooking in, Calvalette the uberette as my sister dubbed her, otherwise known as Cal, the taxi driver is wonderfully accommodating to all of your transportation needs whether it be to grocery store nearby, local restaurants, sightseeing or whatever your transportation needs might be. ||We highly recommend talking the shore walk from Wexford Long Bay to Horseshoe Bay and then catching a cab there to LITT (Lost in the Triangle) for lunch. There is a bus stop right there, and you can take a bus or taxi back to the cottage.||The buses and ferries are wonderful transportation alternatives, to taxis, however be warned that the walk from the cottages to the bus stop is quite hilly. If you are a walker, it is a beautiful walk - about 15-20 to the bus stop or the rail trail.||For a great walking tour in St. George - consider History with A Twist - this is a fun informative tour conducted by Kristin White of Long Story Short. Tea at the Perfumery in St. George is lovely too.||We can't wait to visit this magical island and enchanting cottage again, thank you Maria and Doug for sharing your cottage with my sister and I and for your warm and welcoming hospitality. The cottage is a true gem, in a fabulous beachfront location, maintaining its roots as a 1930's Bermuda holiday cottage - warm and welcoming in it's simplicity, yet having everything you need for a...

My sister and I visited in May of 2024 for the first time. Well, one visit is not enough to this exceptional location and welcoming property managed by Maria and Doug. They are wonderful hosts! So we came back in May 2025 and explored more of the island and enjoyed the peace and tranquility of this classic Bermuda Bungalow. We stayed in Beach Home, and looked forward to each evening drifting off to sleep with open windows and sea breezes cooling us as the waves crashed on the beach below, while the tree frogs added their notes to the evening symphony. ||By day we swam and walked the beautiful beach in the morning and set off to tour the island in the afternoon with the lovely Cal, our driver for the week. She is a wonderful tour guide/driver. ||Another highlight was a boat tour of St. George, Castle Harbor and the string of Castle Islands - the longtails accompanied us and captivated us with their aerial flights of grace and beauty. We rented a Boston Whaler from Grotto Bay for the day, and it was well worth it - thank you Maria for your help in making that happen with the most wonderful guide.||The cottage is comfortable and the location is exceptional. I should mention that what we love about this cottage is that is it not a cookie cutter modern accommodation. It is a 1930's bungalow with some updating to make it comfortable, but the charm of it's old bones, wooden floors and the porch overlooking the beautiful beach is what makes it a place you want to return to again and again.... and if we are lucky, we will do just that!||Thank you Maria and Doug for your hospitality and for your attention to making each person's stay special!||Jan and Carolyn, aka the...
