Great place to to stay!
My daughter and I greatly enjoyed our stay in the Turtle Nest. Very clean and the kitchenette had every thing we needed. I loved the pool, the hammock, the view, and the location. It is located near great restaurants and tourist attractions. It was quiet and peaceful. The staff was wonderful and the breakfast was great. It’s located on the east side of the island away from the resorts and Georgetown.

Private Oasis
I stayed here for a girls trip with three of my friends. The location is beautiful. It was so quite we felt like we were the only ones there. Mary and Glen were so sweet and attentive. Loved having breakfast brought to us every morning! Our room fit 4 adults comfortably. We did rent a car which I would highly recommend if you plan on touring more of the island. There were great restaurants near by, we ate at LaCasita and Tukkas both had amazing food! We were able to snorkel down the shoreline and underneath the pier at the neighboring resort, there were so many fish! We went over to the west side for a day and it was packed, watch the schedule for when the cruise ships come in if you decide to do this. It was fun to do some shopping over there but we loved returning to our private oasis at the end of the day. I can't wait to go back and would definitely choose to stay here again!

Sunrise - Breakfast
Lovely property with great staff. Glen and Vanessa are special and made us feel very comfortable. The included breakfasts were great (homemade banana bread!).
We rented a car to get around the island to explore the great beaches, restaurants and things to do (Crystal Caves, Botanical Gardens to name a few). And it was always so nice to recharge and relax back at The Cottages.
We highly recommend The Cottages and the eastern side of the Island.
