Beachfront palapa cottage with heated pool , sunsets and tropical gardens

My wife and I were looking for a relaxing vacation, and we picked the perfect spot. The grounds, the beach the pool were fantastic. Our host Lindell and Steve were wonderful to us. we will definitely be going back.

This property is located on the quieter side of the island which was nice to get away from the chaos of downtown. We met the owners son and he was very friendly to us. The owners left midweek and the workers did not speak english and we don’t speak spanish, so we didn’t have anyone to ask for things we needed. As far as the casita itself, the view from our room was really nice. And it’s nice having the private beach just steps away. We stayed for 5 nights and they did not change our linens or towels and you have to take out your own trash. They came in one day and made our bed and swept the floors but they did not change our sheets, only made the bed over dirty sheets. The microwave and our lamp did not work. Be sure you wear bug spray because you will get bites inside and outside of the casitas. I have over 40 bites and I wore repellent day and night even while sleeping. The roof isn’t sealed off so it’s easy for bugs to enter. We also had two scorpions in our casita so be sure you watch where you step and check the covers before going to bed. And if you stay in Lee or Sam, you share a wall with the neighbors and you can hear them. The workers did keep the pool area furniture clean daily. Great breakfast place steps away and great lunch place at the end of the cul de sac, don’t let the outside of it scare you. Overall, if you’re looking for a private location without the crowd of a hotel and the buzz of downtown, this is a good option.

Beautiful- quiet

What a perfect little palapa on the Caribbean for a relaxing and fun vacation! Saw the pics and knew I needed to stay here. Had Isla Delivery do some grocery shopping for our arrival. Loved meeting Steve and Lindell, learning about their time on the island. Booked a golf cart tour our first day to get the lay of the land and had our own golf cart delivered the next day for lots of adventures! It was great fun! From coffee on our patio, sunning and reading, to watching the iguanas, birds and all of the boats going by, this is a great place to just hang out! Comfortable bed and AC. Short walk to Velavento Mangle for breakfast or lunch.

Beautiful and relaxing! The bed was very comfortable and the caretaker was so helpful!

Quaint little bungalows with little kitchenette, 20-30ft from ocean or pool. On west side, away from busy Central. Grab a golf cart or moped, and the island is yours (restaurants, pubs, grocery). Little property dogs to keep you occupied (they love treats). Steve and his wife are great hosts.

We had a fabulous time at Steven and Lindell’s property. We rented a golf cart and really didn’t even need it. Great location, great people, and great times that will never be forgotten.Steven and Lindell were absolutely amazing hosts. We wish we could have stayed longer, but life gets in the way sometimes. We are already thinking about when we can go back.

Amazing property, could not have asked for anything better. So good we will be returning again (and again). The location is so peaceful and quiet, just what we wanted. Please don’t change a thing ?

This is our 2nd time at Cottage Sam and we loved it as much this time as last. Thanks for a great stay!

What a dream to wake up to turquoise ocean views. The property was quiet, peaceful, and well maintained. The caretakers are very warm and friendly, and responsive. My wife and I enjoyed the salt water pool and tranquility of being on the quieter side of the island. There is a nice little restaurant walking distance, and we had a golf cart to get around. It was a perfect trip and we can't wait to go back! It felt like home when walking in the door after a long day of exploring the island.

The property itself is beautiful, owners are very welcoming and we met people who became friends. I was a bit disappointed in the beach. We stayed in Palapa Sam, the view front the front is gorgeous. However, this unit needs a major renovation or a deep, deep cleaning. The bathroom did not appear clean, it had dirt/hair in the corners of the floor and dirt on the door and cabinet, the toilet was dirty and all in all I felt the whole bathroom was dirty. We were there 8 nights and never got our bed linens changed, even with being at the beach, pool, sand and suncreen. I just did not feel the unit was clean.
