This is the best beach in St. Croix. Beautiful water, sand and sunsets. Cottages are clean and the proximity to the beach is amazing. We shopped at a grocery store and only ate out a couple of times during the week. Keep in mind that St.Croix is NOT upscale like St.John or St.Thomas, it is more laid back. Fredericksted in... More

We hadn't been to Cottages in more than five years. My sweetie loves them so much, a return visit was her 60th birthday wish. We were not disappointed. The Benedict family, especially Paul, is constantly improving the Cottages. They possess a quiet dignity which is a nice refuge from the hectic pace of life found on the other parts of... More

To put it simply, Cottages by the Sea is wonderful! Upon our arrival we were warmly greeted by Paul, the manager, who was incredibly helpful and accommodating our entire stay. Our cottage was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a fully-equipped kitchen and unparalleled proximity to the beach - literally a couple steps from the sand and ocean! The sunsets were... More

Living on island is wonderful, but sometimes you just need to get away from the daily chores and all the mommy responsibilities! The weekend at Cottages by the Sea was very refreshing. It was a great place to rest and reconnect spiritually, emotionally, and physically. It really is charming and a great place to unwind from the busy lives we... More

This was our first visit to the Cottages. We were impressed from the outset. Rooms were all comfortable and well appointed. The grounds have tons of character and flair, and they appealed to my kids as much or more than they did to my wife and me. I was happily surprised at the proximity to the water, with great sunbathing... More

You will be more than pleasantly surprised when you arrive at the Cottages by the Sea. The units are actual cottages, right on the sandy beach, where you can go swimming and snorkling to your heart's content. Walkable distance to Frederiksted, but I would advise a rental car to enjoy all the sights of St. Croix. The rooms couldn't be... More

It is great place to relax and enjoy the beach. You can walk out of your room and lay on the best beach on the island. The owners make you feel welcome and we even got a free bottle of Rum waiting for us in the room. We stayed in the Charthouse and loved the view. I believe it has... More

Sit back and relax while the sun sets into the ocean right in front of you at Cottages by the Sea. Enjoy living on the beach - literally only steps away from the water's edge. Comfortable and quiet cottages for everyone. Getaway from busy city noises and take long walks on the beach. This is our favorite Caribbean location! Going... More

I've read several reviews of Cottages by the Sea and agree with most everything said by others. My wife and I have stayed there for 8-10 days six years in a row. This year, we missed out because of scheduling but plan to be back next year. Cottages is right on the water in a relatively quiet area of St.... More
