Our family of three had an amazing stay at Cottages by the Sea.! We stayed in the Carol's Rest cottage and cannot recommend it enough.! Perfect cottage for our family.! Right when we got there, the staff welcomed us with big smiles and made us feel super comfortable. Every person we met was so nice and went out of their way to make our trip an amazing experience. We really want to thank the staff for being so kind. They made our vacation extra special.! Carol’s Rest Cottage was like a dream.! It was cozy, really clean, and decorated with a cool island vibe. It had plenty of room for our family and all the stuff we needed, but still felt warm and cozy. The cottage has a lovely back story and it was nice to be a guardian of the cottage for the week. Plenty of cooking equipment and gear to cook and serve for at least 4 people. HOT water and COLD a/c.!! The whole resort is like paradise, kept super neat with pretty gardens and awesome ocean views that wowed us every day. We always felt safe and relaxed, which let us enjoy the island to the fullest. The beach was the most amazing part of the property and there are not words to describe the beauty of the beach and sunsets in front of the property. We will be back.!

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.
