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

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon - a great location, one of the best places we have ever stayed at - staff was great, room was amazing (incredible view), felt very safe; everything on the island is close by, so rent a car! we took full advantage of the in-suite kitchen (we both love to cook, and... more

Tempted to write a bad review in hopes to keep everyone away. This palce was great. Wished we would have spent 2 weeks here instead of going to St. John. Beautful room with a great view, full kitchen. We were on our honeymoon couldn't have found a better place. We will be back someday. more

Our first visit to St.Croix and Cottages by the Sea made it a wonderful experience. Clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff. Having a kitchen was wonderful to be able to eat in for any meal, basic supplies are there for you to use. The best off the beach snorkeling we have ever encountered, Leatherback turtles, stingrays, lobster, starfish, dolphin, numerous... 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 trip to St. Croix was to celebrate our 25th Anniversary and to reward our two children for graduating with honors from college. We had a great time. Cottages by the Sea is truly that. It is right on the water. The staff is great. They are very helpful and informative. They know the island well and can answer any... 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
