Beautiful house with lovely views and fab hosts
This was a return to Bermuda after nearly 40 years and did not disappoint! Lisa organised our lovely taxi driver to pick us up from the airport. We arrived at the house to be greeted warmly by Lisa and Charles and given a quick tour of the house. Over our 10 day stay, we were truly spoilt for choice as to where to sit out - sun loungers on the lower terrace, table and chairs on two different levels - one covered and one open balcony. We used them all! All the welcome goodies in the kitchen were so much appreciated as we arrived in the evening and had no need to rush out to the shop for food. The basics of milk, bread, butter and tea were there but also wine, cheese, eggs, chocolate, crackers, apples, yoghurts. It was such a generous welcome! We walked a lot and used the buses to go further afield - a very good bus route in both directions with stops just a couple of minutes walk from the house. We were ideally located for the beautiful South shore beaches. The tiny Jobson's Cove was a highlight for us. Dockyards was a really interesting visit and we used the ferry several times (free with the purchased bus passes) Fabulous fish sandwich at the Reefs Hotel bar! All-in-all a really memorable trip - thank you Lisa and Charles! We would love to come back some time. :-)

Cottage Bliss
After years of visiting Bermuda admiring the cute lil english cottage on the hill during long walks it was so special to be able to stay here and enjoy this property. So quaint, quiet, with a wonderful sea view and breeze. Hours on the upper balcony will forever be some of our favorite moments and memories in Bermuda. Our hosts were such wonderful people who had every need taken care of and lots of special touches. They are the best. Thank you Lisa and Charles for sharing your adorable cottage. Hope to return soon. Gratitude, The Powells

The Perfect Bermuda Stay
PERFECT is the word to describe this beautiful Villa. Its location is perfect - walkable to bus stops, restaurants at the Reefs Resort, scooter rentals, and beautiful Church Bay beach. The Villa itself is perfect - clean, decorated with warmth and thought, equipped with absolutely everything you need and more, including four different outdoor areas where you can enjoy views of the ocean and Gibbs Hill Lighthouse. The hostesses are perfect - Lisa and Charlie made us feel like family and were so helpful in making sure our vacation was wonderful. And, of course, Bermuda itself is a perfect destination for breathtaking beauty and relaxation - even more beautiful than we remember from 1990!

A dream come true
My fiancé and I traveled to Bermuda to celebrate a dear friends wedding and could not have found a better place to stay. We felt like the luckiest people on the island. From organizing transportation from and to the airport, having our taxi driver pick us up with a hand painted piece of art, to stocking our fridge with the necessities, Lisa was always there to help and made us feel like visiting friends rather than strangers. We felt at home in the villa, which was decorated with intention and attention to detail, we could not help but brag to our friends and family about the gem we got to call ours for the week and our incredible host for all that she did for us. I cannot stress enough how much we would recommend this stay. We cannot wait to return.

Amazingly perfect vacation cottage!
Villa Lisa is a heavenly choice if you want to stay in Southhampton. It’s very conveniently located for the bus line, electric car or scooter rental, and walking distance to The Reefs, Henry VIII and the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse. Lisa and Charlie were the most fabulous and responsive hosts. I can’t say enough about all they did to make us feel welcomed and pampered. From fresh flowers, to a stocked fridge, to arranged transportation, to newspapers on our patio table each morning…it just couldn’t have been better. The cottage is well appointed and had everything we needed, and more! The views of the ocean and the lighthouse were magical. We enjoyed our stay so much and will be back as soon as possible! Thank you Lisa and Charlie - this was the best VRBO rental we’ve ever stayed in, and it’s because of your dedication to being awesome hosts!

From the first time we saw the picture of the cottage on VRBO… We knew it was the perfect place for us. We have been to Bermuda five times before and were looking for a little romantic getaway… We found it. Lisa and Charlie were amazing hosts who shared their beautiful cottage in the perfect location. Beautiful breezy beaches and views…cozy, comfortable and clean. The fridge was stocked and the morning newspaper delivered… We will never stay in a resort again!!!

Could not have had a better experience
Lisa and her husband are gracious and welcoming hosts who enhanced the entire Bermuda experience and were quite delightful in and of themselves. From having someone pick us up at the airport (with a frame-worthy welcome sign) to stocking the cottage with everything you could possibly need, it made the entire trip as pleasant as it was easy. The cottage itself was wonderful; comfortable, with patios for a leisurely breakfast while enjoying the views, a kitchen so you didn’t have to eat out every night (although “The Reefs” was a five-minute walk and had spectacular food and drinks), plenty of space for sitting and reading, and a ten-minute walk from Church Bay if you wanted to snorkel or just sit on a pristine bit of sand and turquoise water. We couldn’t have been happier. Will definitely be back!

Unforgettable stay at the Villa Lisa!
We were married in Bermuda 33 years ago and due to the COVID lockdown, missed the chance to celebrate our 30th anniversary on the island. We recently came back for the celebration and selected the Villa Lisa because of the beautiful photos and wonderful reviews online. We expected the place to be lovely but could never have imagined just how amazing our stay would be. It was, in fact, magical! We were greeted at the airport by our driver, Parker, who immediately made us feel like royalty. He was conversational, pleasant, and extra “Bermuda-friendly”. When we got to the villa, we immediately noticed the immaculate property. Even better than the photos! The landscaping included an herb garden for making the daily “bush” teas we enjoyed each morning. When you arrive, be sure to ask how to make a pot of bush tea. It’s delicious. The villa has great views of the ocean and Lisa and Charlie were the perfect hosts. We highly recommend this place! Thank you, Lisa, and Charlie, for helping to make our 33rd wedding anniversary the best! David & Patricia

Wonderful Bermuda Vacation
Our stay at the Cottage was great. Lisa and Charlie are very warm and welcoming hosts. The cottage is probably better than the pictures with beautiful artwork by Lisa and fantastic views of the ocean. Very close by to The Reefs Resort for dining, Henry VIII Restaurant (walkable), and a short scooter ride to Horseshoe Bay Beach. We were fortunate to have a full moon over the water our last 2 nights that was spectacular. We look forward to returning again. Thanks for everything Lisa & Charlie.

Spectacular Bermuda Anniversary getaway!!
When you decide to go the whole VRBO route when traveling, you definitely take a “leap of faith “ and hope that it’s not a decision you’ll come to regret… Well, after spending a week in Bermuda at Villa Lisa, we can honestly say that we made the right decision with absolutely NO regrets!! Truly wonderful Bermuda vacation that was, without a doubt, our most memorable and enjoyable rental experience…Everything from the prearranged taxi waiting for us at the airport on through to our final goodbyes, Lisa and Charlie delivered a first class experience that will always be looked back on fondly! Special touches like having several food items stocked up in kitchen upon our arrival, arranging reservations and transportation for us, and making some dining recommendations, to name just a few examples. While some of the other reviews have already mentioned a few of the highlights that add to the overall appeal of Villa Lisa...convenience, location, beautifully decorated, etc... We believe it’s the interactions with the hosts that made our trip so special and what we’ll remember the most… Good people!! Special occasions(30th Anniversary)call for special places…Bermuda and Villa Lisa are that and more…Highly recommended!!

We had such a wonderful time at Villa Lisa. The cottage is charming with beautiful views and had everything we needed. We cooked a few dinners in the kitchen and had wonderful breakfasts each morning on the patio. We took short scooter rides to the beautiful beaches and the location was perfect. There was also a wonderful beach within walking distance where we saw lots of parrotfish. We can't wait to go back to Villa Lisa. Lisa and Charlie were incredible hosts and wonderful people.

"...a rainbow in someone else's cloud." - Maya Angelou
I have to agree with all the positive reviews perused before booking this villa. I also confess to feeling slightly concerned that our Villa Lisa hosts' pampering might feel a bit intrusive for us, but Lisa and Charlie were such a pleasure to interact with that I found myself looking forward to a "check in" at the end of each day of our stay. Lisa in fact helped convert what would have been a tiring, disappointing last day into a perfect end to our 5 day first-time-in-Bermuda anniversary celebration when she gently persuaded us to accept a ride to the absolutely beautiful and nearly deserted (at this hour) Horseshoe Beach, for a final stroll and fabulous photo ops, followed by arranged outdoor seating and delicious dinner at "her table" at a nearby restaurant. The complete "package" left us smiling, rejuvenated and so appreciative of Lisa and Charlie's giving, generous nature and knack for making guests feel special. We are so lucky to have found them and their little piece of paradise!

Paradise Found in Lisa & Charlie's Oasis!
It was difficult for us to leave this beautiful island and beautiful property. Lisa & Charlie are impeccable hosts; they were always available, totally accomodating of special requests and thought of so many "extras" to make our stay special: fresh flowers awaiting us, snack and breakfast food items as well as welcome beverages, newspaper on the porch each morning, Lisa's amazing artwork adorning the walls, and even assistance in arranging for airport transportation. Staying here is like visiting your favorite sister and brother-in-law! The neighborhood is quaint, quiet and scenic and is within walking distance of good restaurants, bike rentals, incredible beaches (especially Horseshoe Beach), and Gibbs Lighthouse. We really enjoyed getting to know the island and also the super helpful and friendly Bermudians; all whose paths we crossed were totally helpful and friendly to us! The house is located near public bus stops and we found the bus system to be very convenient to use. Listening to the siskadee birds communicating during the day and the tree frogs singing at night was indeed music to our ears. This vacation was pure bliss!

Best of Bermuda!
Villa Lisa is located in Southampton parish in a quiet neighborhood with overland views including Gibbs Lighthouse and an ocean view of the south shore! There are ample places to sit and relax on two balconies along with seating areas to get sun, shade etc! The photos are exactly what you will find and the owners' provide everything you could think of for your stay including lots of provisions so you can enjoy your first days in paradise without running out to the grocery store! The decor is very warm and there are personal touches through out the cottage including a daily newspaper each morning, umbrellas and sun hats, turkish robes, a beautiful fresh floral arrangement and the unexpected as Lisa made us a batch of her family recipe jonny cakes which made us feel quite at home. The owners greeted us personally and the communication prior to our arrival was timely and very helpful. As frequent travelers to Bermuda, they thought of every need we would have and the cottage was immaculate and also has many beautiful art pieces to enjoy. The proximity to several restaurants (some 3-5 minutes walk) make this a carefree and hassle free location. You can even rent a scooter or electric car from Oleander just up the lane. We have stayed at dozens of homes and villas over our 30+ years visiting the island and this was clearly our most memorable. Lisa and Charlie as hosts and owners clearly make every effort to stand head and shoulders above the all others on the island and exceeded all of our expectations.

Our stay at Villa Lisa was beautiful. Lisa & Charles were the best hosts you could hope for with their friendly and kind hospitality. The location is so relaxing and peaceful while being convenient for the number 7 bus, railway trail and some of the best beaches you could wish for. The property is cool and colourful with all the little touches to make our stay feel extra special. We had a wonderful time and felt like residents of the parish soaking up the Bermuda vibes.
