Great place, great location! Mark is responsive and helpful. We had an issue at check in and although he was out of town he immediately answered messages and had the issue assessed and fixed as soon as was possible. We enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place.

Dreamwood is a cozy, comfortable cottage. Beds/mattresses are very comfortable. Great access to St. Mary's waterfront. This cottage offered perfect accommodations for my sister and I. I had some trouble at first getting the TV to work and display anything. The owner responded promptly with further instructions. I would definitely stay here again, if in the area. Thank you Mark.

This home was beautiful and in a very nice neighborhood. The home had everything you would ask for. Only thing I would change is move it a little closer to the beach. We found some wonderful places to eat. If you want a nice peaceful place to stay. This is your place. Also, the owner was so nice and helpful.Teresa G.
