This cottage was the perfect stay for us. We stayed for a week in the semi-off-season. We love exploring. The cottage is located in a the perfect place for exploring the east end. It's 10 minutes to Christiansted, 15 to Cramer Park, and a 5 minute walk to Chaney Bay Beach. Both of those beaches are our favorite. Lots of shade, sandy bottom, and no one around (weekday, offseason).
The pool was also very nice to have. It was almost always empty (weekday/off-season). It's large. You could swim laps if you wanted.
Lastly, the house did the job. It was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Perfect amount of space for a couple. It had everything we needed to cook when we didn't want to go out.
Overall, highly satisfied. We loved exploring the east-end of St. Croix and Southgate was the perfect place to stay for that. Don't get trapped at a resort!
