The 1940's Cottage sits between two "grand old ladies", over 100 years old
Location: St. Marys, Coastal, Georgia, USA (40 minutes to Jekyll Island & Jacksonville Int'l Airport)
Accommodations: 1940's Cottage, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
This charming 1940's cottage, located in the historic district,is two blocks from the waterfront and one block to great restaurants and shopping.
The house is decorated 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 pillow top 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 four 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!"
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.
