The home was beautifully decorated. It was the perfect location for visiting family stationed nearby and for walking to dinner at the various restaurants.

Cumberland Queen Cottage exceeded every expectationFrom the moment we arrived, it was clear this property is exceptionally well cared for. The house was immaculate, and the linens and cleanliness were first-rate throughout. The owner was responsive and attentive, which made the whole experience seamless from booking through checkout.The location in St. Marys is a real asset. Easy walk into town, a beautiful dock and pier on the river right across the street, and a park directly behind the home. It’s a quiet, charming setting that fits the area perfectly.Would absolutely recommend this cottage to anyone visiting the area, especially if you’re heading over to Cumberland Island.
