Cottages by the Sea ST CROIX, US VIRGIN ISLANDS
Dotted along the sunkissed shores of Frederiksted, St Croix, Cottages by the Sea stands as a testament to timeless Caribbean charm. Established in 1949, this family-owned boutique hotel is one of the oldest continuously operating hotels in Frederiksted, lovingly managed by the Benedict family for generations. The hotel boasts 28 uniquely designed cottages,
each one exuding its own character and warmth. Half of these accommodations are waterfront, offering guests uninterrupted views of the Caribbean Sea. Most cottages come equipped with full kitchens, allowing visitors the flexibility of preparing home-cooked meals while enjoying the comforts of a tropical retreat. Each cottage also includes air conditioning, complimentary wi-fi and thoughtful touches such as locally inspired decor and private outdoor seating areas. The hotel’s prime location places it on what many
consider the best beach on the island. The calm, crystal-clear waters invite guests to indulge in swimming, snorkelling, paddleboarding and scuba diving. Just a short stroll away lies Frederiksted
Pier — an iconic dive site famous for its vibrant marine life, coral structures and encounters with sea turtles, eagle rays and tropical fish. It’s a favourite for both experienced divers and first-time snorkellers alike. Beyond the beach, Frederiksted offers a rich
cultural and natural landscape. A visit to Fort Frederik reveals stories of colonial history, resistance and emancipation. Local markets, art galleries and food vendors bring the town to life, especially during sunset hours, when the waterfront promenade is bathed in golden light. Nature-lovers will find serenity at the nearby
Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge, home to the endangered leatherback sea turtle and one of the Caribbean’s most pristine beaches. Hiking, birdwatching and seasonal turtle nesting tours offer unique ways to engage with the island’s ecology. Whether you’re seeking relaxation on golden
sands, underwater adventure or a journey through culture and history, Cottages by the Sea offers an authentic, welcoming base for experiencing the beauty and heritage of St Croix.
