I can honestly say that, after staying at Oceanwinds, I'll seek out B & B's in the future before looking at hotels.
There was plenty of room for my father and I to spread out (since they offer exclusive use of their living room with satellite tv) and the bedroom was generous in size and VERY relaxing. In fact neither of us has slept that well in a very long time.
The beaches across the street are world class and very quiet and access to the ultra-handy public transit system is less than 100 yards away.
If we were going back to Bermuda we'd definitely seek out Oceanwinds again.

We needed to change our reservations, and they charged us $80! When we clarified how unclear the webpage's cancellation policy is & we were not aware we would be charged so much, they responded that it was our problem. After 2 emails, they stopped responding. We were so disappointed, we felt it was important to warn future visitors to READ THE CANCELLATION POLICY CAREFULLY before booking. No matter WHAT the circumstance, they will NOT return your money if you cancel. There are other reasonable hotels/B&Bs that have more reasonable cancellation policies. We never got the chance to stay here nor would we due to the inflexibility of the owners.

Sincerely,
Dissapointed from Massachusetts

My husband and I spent the last week of May here, flying in on a Friday afternoon, and leaving the next Friday morning. Meredith arranged a pickup at the airport for us, and a ride back the following week. Our taxi driver stopped at a grocery story along the way, at our request, and for just a bit more money, and waited while we stocked up on sandwich fixings, fruit, wine, and snacks. We brought liquor with us from the U.S., and with these items, we had the makings of a picnic whenever we wanted, and drinks on the porch every evening. This has to be one of the best porches on the island, and it overlooks the most beautiful stretch of beach too. We spent many happy hours here looking at the Warwick Long Bay, watching the traffic on the South Road, listening to the kiskadees during the day, and the frogs at night, and some evenings chatting with our hostess.

Our room was very clean, simply furnished, and quite comfortable. The room and bathroom are fairly small, but we also had use of the adjoining living room, and that room led to the porch, so we never felt that it was too small. Though we were sharing a house with our hosts, it felt very private because they stay in the back part of the house when they are home, and they are both busy and gone a lot of the time. Meredith was very helpful every day, answering our questions, and often joined us on the porch (at our invitation) and had a glass of wine and chatted with us. She's a lovely and interesting person. The house is right on the South Rd. and is steps away from a bus stop, and the whole island is accessible by bus. Across the road, and only about a two minute downhill walk is the end of Warwick Long Bay. From that beach you can walk about 1.5 miles (I'm guessing on this...it took us about 30 minutes to walk), to Horseshoe Bay, which is always noted as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. With the exception of Horseshoe Bay, we were amazed every time we were on the South Shore beaches that there were so few people there. It was like having your own (nearly) private paradise.

If this house has any negatives, it is that there are no restaurants that are really close, but you can take a quick bus, cab, or scooter ride to dozens that are along the South Rd. in either direction. We didn't miss any meals! We'd go back to Bermuda in a minute, and would always consider a stay at Oceanwinds.

We spent 4 days in Bermuda which I would say is just about right. Warwick is an excellent place to stay if you like to be in proximity to some of the best beaches on the island. Merdith and John only have one room in their bnb and that room overlooks the ocean. We chose this guest house as accomodation in Bermuda is very expensive, a 2star hotel was about $277/night and Ocean Winds is about $150 plus tax. The breakfast consists of a glass of juice, toast or a bagel, a small portion of fruit and cereal. The lighthouse which is a short bus ride away does very appetizing breakfasts. You also need to put your crockery away in the dishwasher to deter ants and bugs( we spotted a large roach) so if you are used to being pampered then this wouldn't be the place for you.
On the downside, there is no lock on the door to our room, however they really do give you your privacy. They also allow you to use their tv room though I did sometimes feel that I was imposing a little on their space but perhaps that's just me.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved the perfect location of the guest-house and the hospitality of the owners. Meredith knows an awful lot about the island and is extremely nice and helpful.
