• A second garden-level bedroom also has a king bed, ensuite bathroom, and French doors leading to the tropical garden.
• A third king bedroom is on the main floor with its own ensuite bath.
• The final two bedrooms each have queen beds and share a spacious Jack and Jill bathroom, ideal for siblings or friends.
In addition, there’s a full bathroom near the kitchen and patio—convenient for showering off after the pool or beach. Each bathroom is stocked with plush towels, hotel-style soaps, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion.

Liz, the host, is a talented artist. Her unique touch is found throughout the home, with curated artwork and accents that reflect the vibrancy and charm of island life.

A Note from Liz
“I designed Backgammon to be a space for connection, inspiration, and ease. Whether you’re swimming in the pool, sharing stories over dinner, or discovering the garden paths, I hope this home adds a touch of magic to your stay in Bermuda. While I live quietly in a separate unit, I’m always happy to help if needed.”
