If you are looking for a tranquil place on a beautiful beach, the Cottages by the Sea is the perfect place. Sandy and John are so warm and welcoming. We felt at home immediately. This place is special, and situated on a gorgeous, calm, and uncrowded beach. We will be back again.

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.
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.

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!

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~
