Love that some of the best snorkeling on the Island is right on the beach of the cottages.

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.
Nice place to get away to. Enjoyed our stay there. Clean place with beautiful water and views. When you dont feel like cooking, you have a Restaurant right next door that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.

This property is amazing. You can snorkel right off the property, room was clean, house keeping was super friendly and gave us fresh towels when needed. I can’t say enough about this property! Also they have the sweetest cat that lives there. Will be booking again.

Serene! Lovely little rustic cottages on the beach. Not all cottages are ocean view, but the entire property is on the beach. And the beach is beautiful!

Great location. It's the best beach on the island. Easily saw turtles and stingrays and lots of fish. Love jumping into the water right after waking up~

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 The room was exceptionally clean, just a little outdated— but I did book their last room available so it makes sense.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

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.
