Grand Hospitality

The owners are wonderful. The property is the perfect place to have a cup of coffee or wine by the ocean. Access to the private beach was terrific (but lots of stairs). Right on the bus line for the South Road made getting back and forth from Hamilton and the Dockyards a breeze. I loved getting to see the parishes as I rode the bus. Jasmin even took us to the airport when we couldn't get a taxi. We'd love to stay again.

Great location for walking to Horeshoe Bay

Owner Wendall was very nice (via email) but we never met him as his wife had an emergency and they were off property. His daughter Jasmine met us upon our arrival and even arranged taxi transport back to the airport on the day we left. The room is basic and small (size of a bedroom with private bathroom) but compared to expensive Bermuda hotels it was worth it. Henry’s pantry and restaurant is 5 minute walk. Horseshoe Bay from the apartment to the beach is about a 20 minute walk. Bus stop right outside. We rented an electric car for the day at Oleander at the Reefs which was 10 minute walk. You can see Gibbs lighthouse from the yard. Beautiful views of the ocean from front of house. We were in the back of the house facing the road, very private. The hottub was not in service which disappointed my husband who has a bad back. Bed was comfortable. We had a very nice 4 nights in Bermuda!

We had a wonderful time staying here. The views are amazing & the location can’t be beat. We used the ShoreLink app to purchase our bus passes & it was so easy to catch the bus. The bus stops are literally just a few yards away from the unit. The unit is small, but we didn’t spend a lot of time there. It was stocked with the basic essentials to prepare a light meal or snack. Henry VIII’s is within walking distance for a nice meal or carry out. The hosts were extremely nice. We met Wendell, but mostly had the pleasure of dealing with his daughter, Jasmine. As a previous review stated, it’s not fancy, but it was perfect for us & reasonably priced. We would definitely stay here again.

Hope to be back

We stayed 12 days at Whispering Waves And had an excellent time. Wendell, Xinia,and jasmine are a lovely family, with a wealth of knowledge to share about their island. The views from their home are beautiful overlooking the ocean with a large green space. There’s a table for two outside your private entrance. There’s a bus stop in either direction on the road side of the property, we traveled on the bus every day, if you get the bus pass, you can travel from one end of the island to the other and also use it on the ferries for one price.You can’t ask for a better host and his wife, we hope to return againBetty an Terry

Wendell and Xinia were very welcoming and kind. They have a beautiful piece of paradise and we’re lucky they are willing to share. I wish we were still there! The location is great.

Beach side Beauty

The property is so nice with a beachy vibe. The room is cozy with a full bath, dorm fridge, and microwave. The owner and his wife are so delightful. Wendell took us on a very thorough tour of the island showing us places that we would have not seen had we not been with him. The beach is just a little walk down the block and down some stairs. It’s a gorgeous beach! Of course you won’t find any beach less than beautiful in Bermuda. There are really great restaurants within walking distance as well as Horseshoe Bay Beach. This little piece of paradise is located in a very good area and surrounded by some of the best places to eat. You can’t go wrong with this area and stay.

An excellent place to stay!

I stayed a week at Wendell and his family's home and definitely could have stayed longer. This was a great spot for me, as I love having easy access to a beach without a lot of noise/people. I visited the private beach every day of my stay and most nights as well. It was a great spot to watch the stars at night and the Longtails during the day. The road outside can be busy/noisy with traffic at times, but it's also extremely convenient to have the bus stops right there.I would definitely stay again :)

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!

Convenient and reasonable

This isn’t the fanciest place you will ever stay at, if you want fancy stay down the road at the Reefs. For the price this place can’t be beat. Right outside is the bus stop which we took everywhere. Wendell went above and beyond what we would expect from an owner when we left part of our luggage in the driveway. He met us in town so we wouldn’t miss our plane. Nice guy and a wealth of information about Bermuda.

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! ♥️

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!

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.

Peaceful Rest in Bermuda

Magical, Peaceful, Relaxing, Surrounded by beautiful people with kindness in their hearts. This was a trip of a lifetime. I felt free and able to connect with nature and the souls of the Bermudian people. I didn't want to leave this amazing home. I just wanted to sit in Wendell's treehouse overlooking the turquoise blue ocean. I felt like I was living in a Doris Day movie. Everyone was kind and said "please & thank you". Wendell, Xenia, Jasmine & Grand Mama adopted me. I was part of their family. I was single woman travelling alone and I felt very safe. I would highly recommend booking an Island tour with Gregory DeSilva. He helped me out a few times. Wendell has his phone number. If you believe in magic book this trip. I can't wait to return.

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.

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.
