Perfect Honeymoon!

Calabash Cottages

Katherine D.
Sago Cottage is everything we hoped for and more for our honeymoon! If you are like us and do not like resorts and big crowds, this cottage is perfect. Not only is the house set up on a hill with tons of privacy and no neighbors, it is in a great location in Coral Bay, which is a laid back and slow paced part of the island with lots of character and great local spots! While you do have to have a Jeep if you stay here, that was one of our favorite parts was driving around! Just down the hill are some of the best restarurants in Coral Bay so you don't need to drive far if you don't want to. The cottage itself looks exactly like the pictures shown, I thought it was too good to be true! The cottage is clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. There is no A.C. however the fans and breeze felt perfect and we were never uncomfortable. Some other reviews mentioned a problem with bugs, however we were lucky in that we did not have too many. Yes, there were occasional intruders and a few ants in the kitchen by the end of the week, but nothing that a quick wipe down couldn't fix! As long as all your food is kept in the refrigerator there is no problem! The hot tub was amazing and the view around the whole cottage is breathtaking. We were supplied with ample towels, two coolers, two beach chairs, and snorkel gear. The shower is outside and makes you truely feel like you are living the island life with the hummingbirds right above you every morning. The staff at Sago Cottage could not have been more wonderful. We were greeted by Jen at the ferry who drove us to pick up our jeep, stopped by the grocery store with us, then lead us to the cottage and went over our maps. We later booked a Kayak tour with her as well! Our second day we called the office because our snorkel gear did not fit and we were greeted at the bottom of the hill within the hour by Dianne with new gear. The whole process was smooth and enjoyable from the moment we arrived until we left! We have wonderful memories of our time at Sago cottage and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape! Katherine and Connor Mathis Virginia Beach, VA
