cottages in bermuda

I remember the last time in Bermuda we spent some time at a cottage close to the beach. We actually ran into some Canadians from Nova Scotia who worked at one of the Computer Centres and a doctor who had a relative in Truro, Nova Scotia. I did not realize that there was such a close connection between Bermuda and Nova Scotia until I started investigating some of the common associations that people belong to. My question is what cottages could people recommend that are close to the capital. Thanks.

Hey there,

I was/am too surprised about the close link between Bermuda & Canada, a good portion of the locals who decided on University travel to Canada to study. (They're not big on the winters though )

Hamilton is the capital of BDA, because of the working infrastructure (roads, traffic, etc.) there's not a lot of good beaches within walking distance of it.
The most popular beach is Horsehoe Bay, it is about 25-30 mins. (bus ride) from Hamilton.
In all fairness rumour has it that de rock is only about 1 mile wide at its widest spot (I think it closer to 2), therefore you're never really far from the ocean.

As far as cottages go I stayed at a place called "Oxford House" upon my interview process, it is a great part of Hamilton & a very nice stay to boot.
Many of the beaches have resorts/hotels near by (of course) some popular names being "Arial Sands" & "Princess Hotel", but of course you need to find one for your budget.

Cheers!

Would recommend Ariel Sands, owned by Michael Douglas, but it is very expensive.
