Spent 3 nights after spending week on St Thomas and wished we had done it the other way around. Stayed in the Caribe unit. Facing the beach and just 3 or 4 steps from beach. Caribe unit was really nice with king bed and a seperate living room/kitchen. No wall between them but kind of a half divider. Staff and... More

We just returned from a 9 day family vacation in St. Croix and stayed at Cottages for the second time. We were there in March 2011 for a wedding. Paul Benedict and staff were extremely accommodating as usual. We stayed for 4 nights in Commodore and 5 in Chart House. We like the roominess of Commodore, since my husband and... More

The staff was very welcoming, warm and friendly. The room lovely with full kitchen, million dollar views and very comfortable bedding. The gorgeous waters right outside your door, great snorkeling and swimming right outside your door. Lovely landscaping throughout the property. Would come back over and over again. Heavenly! More

I have been all over St. Croix and there's no better place to stay. The ocean front is wonderflu-snorkeling is awesome-we saw a sting ray and two sea turtles, so far!!!!!!!!! the staff is attentive but not overbearing. The room we like is 'Cocktail' and it has a full kitchen so we grocery shop and eat in a lot. We... More

There's not much to add - the previous reviewers have done a nice job of capturing the essence of Cottages. We love this place! We stayed a few nights in 2010 before checking into a villa in the east. This time we came back and spent the entire time at Cottages. "The West is the best!" It's great to get... More

We realize we won't go anywhere else in St. Croix since staying at the Cottages 100% assures a great Caribbean getaway. It works so well to be right there on the water, in a very clean cottage with anything... More

We recently returned to the mainland from our latest stay at Cottages by the Sea. Obviously we are happy there and truly consider it a second home. During our month-long stay we spent time with other folks who are repeat visitors and met several who were enjoying their first stay. It was great to be withThe Benedict family, Carmen, Rose,...

My wife and I stayed here for christmas in one of the cottages and really enjoyed the location. The cottages have access to and are on one of the nicest snorkeling beaches I have seen. the cotages are well equipped and you only need to bring the usual things for a vacation rental (good knives, specific kitchen tools, etc). There... More
