A vacation dream location...

Cottages by the Sea offers it all... AMAZING location with just a few steps to one of the island's most beautiful beaches, over the top customer service & staff (before, during and after our stay), gorgeous grounds, adorable cottages with everything you could possibly need during your stay. Hot water works all too well, be careful when getting in the shower lol!

Serene! Lovely little rustic cottages on the beach. Not all cottages are ocean view, but the entire property is on the beach. And the beach is beautiful!

I liked very much that the property is directly on a clean, quiet and beautiful beach. The property was quiet and clean and well-maintained. Cleaning the room should be improved. The shower had hair on its floor from the previous client. There is a serious ant infestation in the kitchen. The kitchen dinining room seats were ripped off and taped - unacceptable!

I have been coming to The Cottages for 10 years, and it feels like a warm hug every time I visit. What could be better than waking up and walking out your cottage door, and the ocean is in front of you!! You are surrounded by lush greenery, and turtles lay their eggs on the beach so that you might see tiny turtle footprints leading to the ocean. The nights are spectacular for seeing the stars, and I have taken beautiful shots of the constellations. Honesty, no words do this place justice; see for yourself the magic at The Cottages by the Sea

Nice. Could have been much better.

Place was nice and friendly, although very dated. It had the essentials, a television, air conditioning and a kitchen which was great. If you're looking for some place fancy with a lot of luxury, this is not the place. Many things are rundown unfortunate because it's a very nice location.

Our cottage Castaways is a bit rustic but have all the basic things and is comfortable. They had some issues with water supply due to island wide outage, but it was fixed within a day. The beach is very beautiful, easy access and you can snorkel for hours right at the beach, lots of tropical fish, sea turtles. Our cottage was toward the back of the property, so very quiet. Just 50 feet walk from the beach. Some of the beach front cottages were a bit noisy but generally very quiet after 10pm. All personnel and guest we met were very friendly, pleasant.

Cottages’ location is superb! It’s saying a lot when locals come and use the the beaches on this side of the island. I love the quaint property and its charm. Opening your door and walking 10 steps to a beyond gorgeous beach is literal heaven…. (From a beach lover) I will most definitely be back to this slice of paradise.
