Excellent stay! room was quiet and clean and has great beach access! After being on other beaches in St Croix this one is right at the top. Air conditioning was great but when you want to turn it off, the windows open to hear the surf.

We stayed at the end of March of this year. It was our first visit to St. Croix. We loved the quaint feeling of the cottage and the friendliness of all the staff. We were there the week before Easter and the locals set up campsites at the edges of the beach. We had some several days of untypically rough water but were still able to enjoy the beach. We did snorkel at the Pier. Make sure you enter the water to the left of the pier. The hike to Ham's Bluff lighthouse is a little difficult but it is not crowded and you are rewarded with incredible views.

Great place to stay bed was comfy and ac worked. The beach at the property was amazing and we would go for swims in the Caribbean 2-3 times a day. The staff was always very friendly and helpful and the other vacationers were all very lovely most had been coming for 10 years or more. This is our first trip. There won’t be our last.

Perfect spot for a quick getaway. The view of the ocean from our room was beautiful especially while we enjoyed breakfast on our patio. Snorkeling off the beach was excellent. We saw sea turtles, sting rays and even an octopus! They even have spare flippers and snorkel equipment at no extra cost. The hotel next door has a restaurant making dinner easy and convenient if you don’t want to head into town or cook. Can’t wait to visit again!

Wonderful stay!
My son and I loved this property! The beach was perfect and the views were incredible! We loved being able to have a kitchen and the barbecues on site! The staff was friendly and helpful! I will be back! The only thing I could have used in our room was a broom or a mini vac for the sand that we tracked in. Not every day had housekeeping, which is fine, but I wouldn’t mind sweeping up after myself. Other than that, the property was charming and beautiful❤️

8/10 Very Good

We would have given this property 5 stars, the location to a beautiful beach was outstanding, very friendly staff, condition of location was good. The reason for less stars and our only dissatisfier was, roaches, if possible we would have changed locations because living amongst roaches does not a great vacation make. We left some food out one night and saw roaches in it the next day. We highly recommend that the property do something about this ASAP.

The property itself was amazing! The views, the beach, the cottages, the staff, the amenities…all were wonderful. Very few restaurants nearby and all had limited hours, closed Sun-Tue and nothing opens early. I suggest planning to eat most meals in or travel to Christiansted for dining. Close to the pier where you will certainly see sea turtles if you snorkel, but lots to see just south of the beach in front of the cottages, too. We’ll likely be back but will do meals differently.

We loved our stay at Cottages by the Sea! The staff was kind and welcoming. The proximity to the beach was amazing, since it was maybe 100 yards from our door to the water. The Cottages were quiet. And the beach had maybe 10 people on it at its busiest. We would definitely stay here again!

Off season in St. Croix when my husband and I went. We went for our 15th Wedding Anniversary October 4th - 8th. We just missed a bad storm and had the most amazing weather. There wasn't many people on the beach. Cute bar/grill right next door. We got to see a big sea turtle right by our rental, along with turtle nests. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The house has plenty of water toys and chairs, board games and outdoor activities. This was exactly what we needed!

10/10 Exceptional

If you are looking to "unplug", this is the place. A small number of cottages in different sizes, most of which open directly on the beach and ocean. Swimming and snorkeling gear are provided, and the "Sand Castle" hotel right next door has an awesome patio to enjoy sundowners while actually watching the sun go down. Understand that this isn't a Hyatt or Marriott but a locally owned and operated hotel which makes up for a squeaky door with a lot of heart and soul. There is plenty of parking, a supermarket within a mile, and the west side beaches are the nicest on the entire island. We stayed at the "Cottages by the Sea" for over a week and loved every day of it.
