Best cottage at Country Country?

[nutz4travel]

Looking for input on the best cottage at Country Country. (we've booked a Premium Cottage) I have the map of the cottages, but can't really tell from a flat 2D map which have the best views of the beach & ocean... Not sure about a 2nd floor room, I'm thinking ground floor would be better. We'd also like to be close to the beach so we can easily go back to the room and mix a drink Looks like 514 is an upper; 515 is really close to the beach but I saw something about bathrooms close by?

Does anyone have a favourite?

Appreciate all of your help!

513 is the ground floor right next to the bar/restaurant. The bathroom is standalone and is a non issue with any room. I liked 513 as it is just steps to the sand. And I didn't notice any outside noise with the AC on.

Thanks Booger - what is 515 like? Can you see the beach from there? I can't find any pictures looking in on Country Country except at the bar. Also wondering which cottages have a King bed and which have 2 twins?

I'm not sure about 515. If it is an individual cottage I would say get it if you can. My buddy had one and it was a cool little room. I'm not sure which rooms have king beds and which ones do not. If you email Monique she can fill you in on the details. She responds quickly and is thorough with her answers.

Thanks again Booger - it took me a while but I found her email address. I'll send her an email.

And I stayed in 514 which is the upper unit over 513.

Cottages a bit further back but with a nice sea/beach view are 510 or 508

Thanks Melody - Love the pics! The view from 514 looks great, but my hubby has some health issues so stairs are out.

Lower level, you'd want 513, or standalones 515, 516 or 508. Country Country is building some new cottages behind/beside 515 and 516. I don't know how much construction noise may be an issue on that side of the path. Personally, if wanting a standalone (because of construction) I'd choose 508. It's just a few steps further back from the beach and also angled to see more of the beach rather than the restaurant. However, they don't guarantee a cottage request, so I would give them 3 or 4 preferences and you should (hopefully) end up with one of them. Enjoy - notice my countdown, pretty soon I'll be counting sleeps!

Lucky girl! Any idea when the new cottages are supposed to be ready?

When I asked Monique about it this spring, she indicated the new cottages wouldn't be ready for a couple of years! Seems like a very long time! If it's really going to take that long, they must be doing it very gradually. I did see a tripadvisor reveiw a few months ago mentioning a bit of contruction noise during the day, I believe they were staying on that side of the path.

Looking at your ticker, it won't be much longer for you either! I hope you won't be too disappointed in Country Country after staying at the new Catcha cottage, it will be SO rustic in comparison, but still offering good basics in a beach cottage. It does have a nice welcoming, quiet, homey feel. Make sure you get to breakfast no later than 10:00 a.m., it's all done (no exceptions) at 10:30.
