Our charming 1940's cottage, located in the historic district, is three blocks from the waterfront, one block to great restaurants and shopping, and three doors West of beautiful historic Orange Hall.

In honor of my grandma, I've decorated the house in a retro 50's style that even Lucy and Ricky would love! A comfortable living room in the front of the house, plus a den located in the back, will give you plenty of room to stretch out or break into groups after a full day on Cumberland Island or shopping on Osborne Street.

Gather the whole family in the fully appointed kitchen with large dining room, complete with a vintage chrome and red vinyl dinette set that seats six. Two matching barstools are stationed at the breakfast bar. Thanksgiving has been celebrated here with no problem!

Sleeping accommodations are comfy and quiet.
The roomy master suite has a queen-sized bed and an adjacent bathroom complete with shower, bath, and double vanity. Two additional bedrooms, each with full beds, share a hall bathroom with both shower and tub.

You'll enjoy the large backyard, graced with beautiful Live Oaks. The large wraparound deck that overlooks the backyard is complete with a Weber Kettle grill and six chairs. A good place to spend some quiet private time.

Morning coffee, while sitting on the front porch, is the best place to acquaint yourself with this quintessential Southern town. You WILL be greeted by the parade of locals and visitors as they make their morning rounds. I have never found a more friendly place. The people of St. Marys are its greatest asset. So, wear your best pajamas! And say, 'Hey!'

We discovered St. Marys in 1999 and fell in love with its small town spirit and gracious people. My favorite thing to do while in St. Marys is to walk or bike to the waterfront park, morning and evening, where it is possible to enjoy both sunrise and sunset over the water.
I also enjoy packing up my beach chair, umbrella, lunch, and a good book for a day trip to Cumberland Island. It's a short walk from the house to the ferry landing. Spending time on the beaches and hiking trails of this rare and pristine barrier island is wonderful.
Hope to see you soon. It's time to relax and have some fun!

                    We enjoyed our 3 day getaway so much. Your little yellow house was a breath of fresh air. We love the decorating style and also the close proximity to all that is good and fun! Lots of thoughtful touches throughout (magazines, extra towels, good wireless) but my personal favorite! LOTS of electrical outlets for all our chargers! Thanks, M, S, J and A Altanonte Springs, FL

                    We have thoroughly enjoyed our 2011 "Sister Trip" at this quaint little cottage. This year marks our 20th annual trip. It was a great weekend of crafting, eating, resting, talking and laughing. The decor and many of the items in the house brought back fond memories of our childhood, but we really were happy to have the WiFi.

The weather was wonderful. Y'all have a lovely home. You did a great job with everything. Thanks you so much and God bless you. Huntsville, AL Fayetteville, TN Largo, FL

                    My family had the honor and pleasure to spend two nights in your home. It was relaxing, comfortable and brought back so many joyous childhood memories. When I arrived I was tired and a little stressed, but when the stay was over I felt redeemed. I thank God for the owners who designed a place like this and most of all to "share it". I thank my sister for taking the time to search for this house and bringing the family together to weather my nieces wedding. To God be The Glory!! May God continue to bless you, Violet, South Carolina

                    Our month in your home has been like a home away from home. Our girls have enjoyed the large backyard and their adopted kitty, "Meatball". Our daily commute to Jacksonville was very easy and I would recommend this home to anyone in need of a "Radiation Vacation". We really enjoyed our trip to Cumberland Island and walking to our favorite playground and beer garden. Our best, The A's, Ft. Lauderdale

                  Year Purchased: 2000

                  About the owner: Hi, We're Joe and Ronnie Tucker. Joe is a retired Coast Guard officer, pilot and educator. Ronnie is a full time artist. We discovered St. Marys in 1999 and immediately fell in love with the people and the location. We came back the next year to find a house! The house happened to be a 1940's cottage under renovation. We bought it, refinished the old pine floors, laid tile, ate shrimp, slept on the floor, painted walls, ate more shrimp and got to know lots of great St. Marys people in the process. ZOOM in on the map for a closer look!

                  Why the Owner Chose St. Marys:
                  We love the people of St. Marys!

                  The Unique Benefits at this House:
                  What we like most about St. Marys is...we can park the car and leave it! We walk or ride our bikes around town. Waterfront park and fishing pier are three short blocks away. Our favorite coffee shop is two blocks away where you'll meet sailboat owners, Cumberland Island hikers and long time local characters. I guarantee you'll make a friend if you come to St. Marys. Wildlife abounds! You'll see native birds from heron to egrets. You'll find wild horses, feral hogs, alligators and armadillo on the Island and dolphin playing on the wake of the Cumberland Island ferry. If you like to kayak, rental and instruction is available at the Welcome Center. Come relax, play and have fun!
