Picard Beach Cottages

Perfect lowkey stay! Everything was super clean and bug-free, plus daily housekeeping kept it that way. Cottages are right on the beach, there’s a great restaurant for breakfast and lunch, and the staff are lovely. Shoutout to the gentleman who mans the breakfast shift at the restaurant.

My husband and I had a wonderful getaway here. Right on the beach, and you can stroll up and down. Great snorkeling just off the dock. Whale watching trips available right there as well. The restaurant and bar was closed due to off-season, but it still was a great stay. Gorgeous property, wonderful staff, excellent location. Cottages have well appointed kitchenettes, and there is a good grocery store within walking distance. We will definitely be back. Loved it!

The perfect middle ground between pricey resorts and utilitarian hotel rooms. The cottages are a bit rustic, but they have AC in the bedrooms, full kitchenette, friendly staff, security guards to make you feel safe, a restaurant right next door, and plenty of good markets walking distance down the street. I would definitely stay here again.

Picard beach cottages is a must! Super kind staff! Bonus cottage cat, 😉 fruit right outside your door, and a beautiful beach! Tin roofs make the experience even better! Slept like a baby. Loved the sound of the rain when it hit. Soothing!

Rustic cottages on the water. Simple kitchen with adequate utensils for simple meals. Mosquito net over the bed is mandatory to keep from getting bitten- location on the beach means mosquitos. No shampoo, only small bars of soap. On site restaurant only open for breakfast &lunch- omelet was fine, pancakes were awful. Portsmouth is a small town with few restaurants, only about half of them take credit cards.

Beautiful, natural sea-side cottages with a super friendly staff. They helped us book incredible whale excursions and figure our way around the island. Ray, Sammy, Ms. Peter, and front desk staff are all fantastic people!

You get your own cottage which is nice. Some of the cottages are on the beach, some are not. Beach is fairly empty. However, we booked two cottages, both thinking they were on the beach itself. They were not. There was no information about this and no way to tell. Also, the cottages themselves are really dirty and in disrepair. I found several instances of rat feces in the bed and on the floor, there were many insects and mosquitos, the shower was broken (handle falling off, nails completely rusted and on the ground), toilet didn't really flush (had to flush two or three times), only one AC in the bedroom so other rooms were hot, and some of the power outlets were not functional. For the high price, I would've probably preferred to stay elsewhere but if you're set on "glamping" this is as close as it gets.

Simple beachfront cottage retreat. We stayed one week and loved watching the sunset after an evening swim in the ocean. It’s a quiet beach - practically private! The kitchen in the cottage was convenient - allowing us to cook our own meals when we wanted a relaxing day. Close to the local scuba diving shop and beautiful waterfall hiking trails.
