My wife and I stayed 8 days for our 25th anniversary and the Cottages is superb. We first went there for our 20th and it has improved. The beach is the best on the island and snorkeling is wonderful. The Benedict family is extra attentive and all our expectations were exceeded from our first visit. I would recommend this hotel... more

Picturesque is an appropriate word for the setting of this family style resort. If you are looking to be impressed by glass and marble 5 star resorts...this isn't for you. However, for the VAST majority of us...this place is "perfect". The location is the best on the island. The beach is the most pristine. The water is calm, clear, and... more

We visited Cottages By The Sea for our family vacation. It was an all around great vacation. The Cottages were comfortable and clean. The people were friendly and helpful. During the week we basically had the beach to ourselves but on Saturday when the cruise ship came in, the town came to life with vendors, shopping, and restaurants. The beach... more

This was our first trip to St. Croix so we didn't know what to expect. We liked what we saw on the web site and hoped that the description and pictures would be at least similar to what we would find when we arrived. My husband and I could not have been more pleased. It was exactly as pictured! Our... more
