Loved the cottage setting, no high rise, no crowds, and our own beach with lounge chairs. A shared BBQ grill was very nice, allowed us to stay on the property to eat. A full kitchen was also a plus. Staff was very helpful and was quick to address any concerns we had. I would definately stay there again.

The property was excellent it was quiet not alot of people walking through the beach area. The view of the sunsets was the best on the island! The staff was great, anything you needed was handled quickly and with no problems. I would recommend this property to anyone that wants a quiet getaway with not a lot of distractions.

Our stay at Cottages By The Sea was absolutely amazing! This quaint little complex is a crown jewel of St. Croix. The staff was very friendly and it is a very calm and relaxing environment with pristine beach access. We stayed in the Crow's nest in which our second level porch overlooking the sea was breathtaking. We will absolutely be coming back!

A vacation dream location...

Cottages by the Sea offers it all... AMAZING location with just a few steps to one of the island's most beautiful beaches, over the top customer service & staff (before, during and after our stay), gorgeous grounds, adorable cottages with everything you could possibly need during your stay. Hot water works all too well, be careful when getting in the shower lol!

I had an amazing stay. Literally steps from the calmest beach I’ve ever been to. The room was exceptionally clean, just a little outdated— but I did book their last room available so it makes sense. I was told that the property is so popular you need to book the room at least 11 months in advance. Overall I would most definitely recommend this stay if you’re going for a chill, romantic, or family oriented stay. 10/10.
