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!

The property is perfect for a relaxing vacation right next to the water. But the best part was the staff Sande, the manager, is the most welcoming, kind, affectionate, warm and inviting person we have ever met. Because of her I will always stay at this property when I come back to STX. I will be telling everyone I know to stay here.

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 The room was exceptionally clean, just a little outdated— but I did book their last room available so it makes sense.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.

Our family of three had an amazing stay at Cottages by the Sea.! We stayed in the Carol's Rest cottage and cannot recommend it enough.! Perfect cottage for our family.! Right when we got there, the staff welcomed us with big smiles and made us feel super comfortable. Every person we met was so nice and went out of their way to make our trip an amazing experience. We really want to thank the staff for being so kind. They made our vacation extra special.! Carol’s Rest Cottage was like a dream.! It was cozy, really clean, and decorated with a cool island vibe. It had plenty of room for our family and all the stuff we needed, but still felt warm and cozy. The cottage has a lovely back story and it was nice to be a guardian of the cottage for the week. Plenty of cooking equipment and gear to cook and serve for at least 4 people. HOT water and COLD a/c.!! The whole resort is like paradise, kept super neat with pretty gardens and awesome ocean views that wowed us every day. We always felt safe and relaxed, which let us enjoy the island to the fullest. The beach was the most amazing part of the property and there are not words to describe the beauty of the beach and sunsets in front of the property. We will be back.!

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 liked very much that the property is directly on a clean, quiet and beautiful beach. The property was quiet and clean and well-maintained. Cleaning the room should be improved. The shower had hair on its floor from the previous client. There is a serious ant infestation in the kitchen. The kitchen dinining room seats were ripped off and taped - unacceptable!
