Quiet, peaceful, beautiful location. Lovely landscaping, good view, very comfortable, clean cottages. Beds were great, shower was awesome, kitchen was functional, parking adequate, fridge was spacious and the gas stove worked well. Check in and check out was super easy; staff responded to messages in a reasonable time. The game room was fun and there was a microwave in there, although I would prefer that each cottage had it's own microwave. Excellent value, convenient to stores, restaurants, waterfront, etc. I hope to visit again!

We loved it! We cooked breakfast both mornings as the unit has a full kitchen with all utensils. Enjoyed the small table and chairs outside on the porch too. We will definitely consider these cottages for future use.

I stayed at Marina Bay Cottage for my birthday with my girlfriend, and we had an amazing experience. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was beautiful and peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax and celebrate. Everything was well maintained, and we had everything we needed for a great stay. There was honestly nothing to complain about. The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely love to come back in the future. Highly recommend Marina Bay Cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Great place to stay! Love that we had our own cottage. #11, had its own living room, separate bedroom and kitchen, great deck overlooking the property. Everything is updated and clean. Kitchen was stocked with dishes, pots and pans, silverware, coffee maker, nice size refrigerator and stove. Enjoyed the community room, a lot of fun games there. Close to the bay and a bunch of great restaurants. Very quiet at night. Will definitely come back next year!

The cottage was lovely. The grounds were also nice but could use some attention. The self check in was great, although I tried calling/emailing to confirm ahead of our stay, and I never heard back. Could be because I didn't book directly with Marina Bay Cottages. Overall, very nice, and I would stay again.

What a cute place! We stayed one night in #13. The property was beautifully kept and easy to find. We only needed to stay for one night, but we will definitely have to come stay here again. Very quaint the way it was all set up inside. Saw plenty of Robbin’s and other birds on the property as well as rabbits. Quiet area. If we had anything negative to say, then it would be the tv remote in our room had the volume on high and we could not adjust it. Also, there were no charging ports, but I always travels with a few blocks luckily.
