Great halfway point for our trip

The pelican perch was super cozy. Had everything we needed. The golf cart was a bonus for heading down for sunset every evening at the waterfront and for checking out with town.

Absolutely charming place to stay in a lovely town

Nothing but good things to say about the property and the hosts. Comfy, lovely beach-y decor, and convenient to downtown St Mary's which is such a nice town in its own right. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to the area.

We loved it!

The location was perfect. It was nice and quiet. We came here to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city & to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was SO clean. We loved using the golf cart to buzz around town. There were so many great restaurants to try! We loved the little local bookstore. Everyone we encountered was so kind.

We came to St. Mary’s to be close to family while my daughter underwent surgery, and I stayed here with my granddaughters during that time. From the moment we arrived, this home felt like a true refuge. It is, without question, the best STR I’ve ever booked. The beautiful artwork, thoughtful personal touches, wonderful and tasteful setup, fun, and beachy décor created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The neighborhood is peaceful and inviting, and the hosts were absolutely exceptional. This home provided exactly what our family needed during an important and emotional time, and we are deeply grateful for the care and intention the hosts have poured into every detail.This review is not complete unless I mention that it was Christmas time during our stay. And the waterfront area was beautiful and decorated for the holiday! The children and I walked around the parade of trees down at the waterfront, took family pictures at the giant tree, and played at the playground. To say St. Mary’s and this listing are hidden gems, would be an understatement.If you and your family are considering this space to rent during your stay in St. Mary’s, GO AHEAD AND BOOK IT! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

Best of the best!

The location is awesome for visiting St Mary’s and Cumberland Island area. The property was even better than described, spotlessly clean, well stocked and very comfortable. The grounds are a beautiful garden with lots of flowering local plants and the birds and bees they attract. The outdoor area is also top notch with nice patio area and gas grill. Hosts were very friendly and available if needed. Overall one of the best VRBO locations we have ever rented and we have been to many great locations 5 stars plus!
