Tropical elegance on a special beach, sparkling blue and turquoise water, unbelievable views and soft breezes - that is what awaits you at the Cotton House.

Why Edward L Delaney, Ph.D. chose USVI/St. Croix
We sailed throughout the Carribean over the years, but only discovered St Croix in recent years. We wondered how we missed this beautiful island, but immediately fell in love with its natural wonders, rich culture and wonderful people. So purchasing Cotton House was an easy decision. We began extensive rennovations immediately and agrred to allow Cotton House By the Sea to be featured on the Landmark House Tour in 2005. Every year we add addiitonal featured In 2014 we have replaced all appliances, added fans and lovely latterns to our gallery and pool side. We love the property and see that it gets loving care each year. .

Gates mark the entrance, sweet smelling frenzy pansy trees, night jasmin, and gardenia hedges line the walkway in to the front door.

Guestbook comments from the owner
My wife and daughter found Cotton House on-line...A very sceptical hubby is happy she did. A lovely home, well cared for, well located, well appointed. Everything worked, the pool was wonderful, neighbors and strangers were helpful. We could not have had a better time - great trip!

Exquisite
I love this property! Beautifully furnished, comfortable, great location. My favorite bedroom is one that opens out to the veranda overlooking the ocean with Buck Island in the distance; it has its own outdoor shower and a canopy bed. The veranda itself runs the full length of the house and is covered, so free from direct sunlight but open to ocean breezes, a perfect place to enjoy morning coffee. Below it is the pool with comfortable, cushioned lounge chairs, and further out the beach front. You could just stay here all day; it's nice and private. But there is the town to visit for shopping and lots of restaurants to explore. My husband and I had a absolute fantastic time. Must come again.
Cotton House, a tropical movie setting
Imagine waking up in an exquisite bedroom overlooking the azure Caribbean Sea! The house is as described, and more. It sits on the water with fantastic views. It is that rare combination of posh and comfortable; clean, well-equipped and maintained. We particularly enjoyed the pool and the large verandah where we had evening cocktails on sometimes dinner. The East End is near many restaurants, both upscale and local. There are beaches and nature trails. It is an easy ride into Christiansted for a bit of shopping. We most highly recommend this property.
Comfortable and exquisite; Cotton House makes you feel like you are starring in a tropical movie!!
We stayed at Cotton House for our latest visit to St. Croix. One of the best vacations we have had. The house is well appointed and has a magnificent setting overlooking the gorgeous Caribbean Sea and Buck Island. The pool and surrounding gardens are beautiful. We like the East End location as it is convenient to Christensted, some excellent and some fun local restaurants, as well as pristine trails and beaches. We'll be back!!
Nice house, well-kept grounds
Our family of four stayed in Cotton House for our week-long visit to St. Croix this June. The owners were very responsive, giving us a lot of information to plan our visit, and the property is exactly as described. The home is very well-kept, and the surrounding gardens are spectacular. It's right on the water, and we literally woke up every morning to views of the sea and Buck Island. The property managers met us at the airport and escorted us to the home, then they guided us to an open restaurant for dinner (our plane was late, and not much was still open). The area around the house is a quiet residential area, and we felt very safe there. All-in-all, an exceptional vacation experience.
