A good estimate is about $1500/per bedroom (this is not a typo).
Check out www.e-moo.com, this is the main site for everything around here.
The problem is that people post rental articles on their company's bulletin boards, these places usually get snapped up within a day or two ~ it's wacky I tell you.
Your best bet is to have your sponsored company put you up (in a short-term apt) for the 1st month, then look like a madman. Also ask your work-mates to send you rental ads via email (as I mentioned above). It's a small island, so the word gets around fast.

One other tactic to try, "housesit" is a term used when people go away on vacation, & would like someone to "watch their place". I've know people to jump around like this (or housesit) for years without actually residing in their own apt.

Forget about buying a house, it's against the law (for ex-pats), plus the average price = $1M (again, no typo).

Here's something to keep you on your toes, http://www.bermuda-online.org/costoflivingguide.htm

Good luck, & lemme know how you make out.

Like I mentioned, you need to seek the inside deals (re: emails). Some executive houses rent for $15K/mo. of course, the company subsidizes those workers.

More salary? It's all relative ~ I read somewhere, a while back, that the average wage is about $55k/yr.
In general, ex-pats get paid a l'il better.

Hi,

I have an interview for a position in Bermuda, one year with annual option to renew. I read that renting a houseboat is a little less expensive, can't find any info on renting houseboats.
