It’s better than advertised. This is a home. Safe, clean, quiet. It reminds me of my grandmothers house with a nicer pool. My ten year old daughter enjoyed our 3 night stay after backpacking on Cumberland. Stacey is very responsive and has done a great job creating a welcoming space.

Thank you so much for spending your vacation at Kai Cottage amd the great review!!!
We had a wonderful stay. The Cottage was perfect. We enjoyed the enclosed porch and pool tremendously. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay with a wonderful host. Would highly recommend. We visit St Mary’s a lot. This stay was by far our favorite. Will be booking another stay soon. The Johnson’sPowder Springs Ga

Thank you! It was my pleasure being your host and look forward to you coming back in the future!
Wonderful little cottage for a weekend getaway or longer! My husband and I brought our two teenagers and our dogs and the place was perfect! Stacey has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and convenient! The pool is gorgeous and so refreshing, and the nature blueberry bushes in the backyard were a nice surprise! We came with our boat (23 foot jet boat) and were able to get the trailer to fit perfectly on the long driveway, but it was a snug fit (width wise). All in all, 10/10 stay!

We felt immediately at home. All that we would need was available. The beds were comfortable and the location was so close to all the St. Mary’s fun and food! Stacy was always quick to respond and communication was easy. I would definitely recommend this home and would come back. My kids are already begging to return in the summer!!!

Thank you Megan for the wonderful review! Also thanks for spending your vacation in lovely St. Mary's, and Kai Cottage! Very happy you and your family had a great time, and hopefully made many special memories!!! Stacey
While the weather wasn't always ideal, everything in the control of the owner was great. You will not find a better supplied rental. Everything you might think of (and much more) was provided: great linens, a stocked coffee bar, paper goods. herbs and spices, laundry items, etc. Sitting on the porch or poolside was relaxing and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet but near enough to restaurants and other attractions. All in all a great place to stay. Thanks Stacey and Wendy.
We loved this little fenced in cottage with a pool. It worked perfectly for us.

We had a wonderful vacation at Stacey’s place. The house was cozy and had everything you could possibly think you might need for a stay away from home. The yard was peaceful and the pool was perfect for the extreme heat we had during our stay. Perfect location close to everything in sweet little St. Marys. We hope to stay again!

It’s a great place to stay! The pool is relaxing and the house has everything you could want. Walking/biking distance to downtown and the ferry. Stacey was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed!
We had a wonderful stay. We had everything we needed while we were there. You could tell a lot of thought had been put into what a family might need, including items like first aid, bug spray, etc. The pool was very clean and having the screen enclosure over it was great for keeping bugs away and leaves, etc. out of the pool. We would stay here again.

This house was wonderful! Great location to everything we wanted to see. It had all the comforts of home plus a bonus of an enjoyable pool. So different than other houses we have rented through the years in different locations, this one had everything you needed for a great stay. Stacey was awesome to work with and cared to make sure that we were happy with everything! Would highly recommend this house to anyone.

Our experience at Kai cottage was excellent! The house was clean and very well equipped with many extra touches that made us feel welcome. The pool is a definite plus! The neighborhood was quiet and a good place for a walk. The cottage is conveniently located to town. Stacey was very responsive and communicated well throughout the check in process and the duration of our stay. We would recommend this host and property with enthusiasm!
The house was a beautiful place. It was stocked with everything we could imagine. It was beautiful and private. The pool was the best part! Stacy answered all of our questions. Want to come back soon!!
My husband and I along with our little dog had a great stay at Kai Cottage! Stacey the host was very responsive and concerned about our comfort and stay. She provided great details about the home which made check in so easy. The pool is lovely

Thank you both for the 5 star review and spending your vacation at Kai Cottage! I am happy your enjoyed your time in St Mary's, as well as the property! Stacey
We loved the quiet neighborhood setting. The back yard was a perfect place to sit and relax. It was totally fenced in which was great for our GoldenDoodle. The pool was beautiful, but unfortunately it was a bit cold for swimming in February.
