Cottages by the Sea

Great time at the Cottages By The Sea. Nice quiet beach thats kept clean. Crystal turquoise water on soft sand. Right next to Sandcastle on the Beach which has a great restaurant. Only got house keeping 3 days in 7 nights / 6 days but there was Veterans day and ome day that house keeping the guest info book said they got off. Carmen did a great job those three though :) full modern kitchen that had all the right pots, pans, dishes etc to make half our meals there! Quick walk in to town but just far enough away to be a peaceful oasis without a lot of traffic. All in all could NOT have found a better place for a relaxing get away.

My stay at cottages by the sea was very comfortable. It is a very pleasant place for relaxing, right next to the beach and is very quiet to gain much needed rest. I would highly recommend going staying there!

We loved the beach on the property. The ocean there was calm. And snorkeling was good from the beach for the first two days of our visit.

We loved the cottage, but also loved that the staff gave us our space. Beautiful grounds and room.

Wonderful stay. Great service. Friendly employees.

Relaxing, quiet, and peaceful! Felt like a small community of diverse people, sharing the beautiful beach.

Comfortable stay close to the beach. Bicycles to use along with snorkeling gear and kayaks. Wifi available and places to eat nearby. The beach is beautiful.

Very cute and clean. Our room had a porch that looked right out to the ocean and their private beach was one of the nicest in the area.

This place is right on the beach and overall was not bad. Our room needed to be updated. We were there six days and only had cable one of those days and the wifi was horrible. They did not seem in a hurry to fix the cable.

Cottage By the Sea is a real find. The other positive reviews on Orbitz are accurate. It is a quaint setup with a very laid back feel. We stayed in Carol's Rest. Two adults and one nine year old in our group. It was just right for our family. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The place is well maintained given the recent storm damage to the island as a whole. The beach access is great. We visited many of the beaches on St. Croix. We found the beach at our Cottage to be the best that we visited. The hurricane exposed lots of limestone formations and it has lots of sea life to enjoy. We had a very good time exploring. We stayed 7 days and did not want to return home. We plan to visit again next year. We would like to thank the staff for a lovely stay. St. Croix as a whole has a long way to go in getting back to normal. Overall, we had a great time despite the setbacks. If you want a place to get away from the normal tourist trap scene, St. Croix has that to offer. The only negative aspects we encountered on the island was the very poor condition of the roads and lack of working traffic lights. The price of food is also very high compared with mainland US. We hope everyone supports St. Croix with their tourism. It will go a long way in the rebuilding efforts. Check rental car availability before booking your travel. Depending on the time, they can be hard to get.
