I really enjoyed my stay at the Cottages. The beds were very comfortable and rooms were clean. The shower was very room. The my room didn't have an ocean view but ocean view was only a few short steps away. The people were very friendly and hospitable. I definitely recommend!

By far the best beach on the island. The property has everything you need. Cute. Modest. Steps from the beach. Perfect for a short term or long term stay! I would not hesitate to recommend to my friends and family, or book again! Cottages by the Sea is my new Happy Place!!!!!

Perfect place for a beach get away. White sand beach was just steps away from our cottage. If you love snorkeling, this is the beach to be… swam with turtles, saw stingrays, cuttlefish and even an eel . Such a diverse marine life I did not expect to see. John was very accommodating with every request we made.

If you are looking for a tranquil place on a beautiful beach, the Cottages by the Sea is the perfect place. Sandy and John are so warm and welcoming. We felt at home immediately. This place is special, and situated on a gorgeous, calm, and uncrowded beach. We will be back again.

Loved the cottage setting, no high rise, no crowds, and our own beach with lounge chairs. A shared BBQ grill was very nice, allowed us to stay on the property to eat. A full kitchen was also a plus. Staff was very helpful and was quick to address any concerns we had. I would definately stay there again.
