Picard Beach Cottages

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

We absolutely loved our time at Picard Beach Cottages! To begin with, the location cannot be beat. Our cottage was right on the water, and waking up and looking out at the ocean was unforgettable.||||The cottages themselves were wonderful as well. Our cottage was clean and spacious, with a full kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedroom. The bedroom had an air conditioner that worked great. The bathroom was also clean, and the shower always had hot water and great water pressure. ||||Picard also has a wonderful restaurant on the property called Caribbean Arena's Club. We had local seafoo dishes that were absolutely delicious. We were frequently the only people eating there, and the meal was generally pretty slow to come out, but once it did it was delicious. And since the restaurant is overlooking the water, it didn't really matter to us if it was slow! We also had delicious breakfasts at the restaurant. ||||Overall, we highly recommend Picard Cottages. The staff was able to help us arrange any outings that we wanted, and the property is absolutely beautiful. We hope to come back!
