About this property

Warm and Bright Pet Friendly Home with Full Privacy Fenced Backyard!

This lovely, well-appointed, down-to-earth charmer is a rare find in the St. Mary's community. Located in a quiet walkable residential area yet only 4 minutes from the picturesque riverfront park and the ferry to Cumberland Island...absolutely perfect for a family. Our home features 3 bedrooms with the Master BR and bath on the opposite side of the house from the two other bedrooms and second bath, affording plenty of quiet for tired parents. A well lit walkway along the side of the home leads to a huge backyard surrounded by privacy fencing.*(Please see additional guest info in last paragraph) An umbrella covered picnic table with charcoal grill as well as a fire pit with large comfy Adirondack style chairs will make for a special family gathering.

St. Mary's Aquatic Center (in season) is minutes away and the beach is a 35-minute drive door to sand! Day trips to Fernandina Beach, Jekyll Island or St. Simons Island are all great destinations worthy of a spot on the calendar! Don't forget Cumberland Island! Kayaks, paddleboards and bicycles can be rented at Knuckleheads at our beautiful waterfront park and you will find golf cart rentals available at Budget Golf Carts...right on Osborne Rd. Bicycle rentals are also available at Camden Bicycle Center...also on Osborne Rd. So whether you choose spend the day in St. Marys or take a day trip outing...adventure certainly awaits!

This is a well-loved family home, available for short stays (minimum of two nights) or longer visits (Please reach out to us should you desire a stay greater than 28 nights). We feel this retreat is guaranteed to bring you bright and sunny peace and quiet, and enough joy to lift your spirits for the next round of reality. You will surely want to come back again and again.

*Our "60's vintage" home was originally constructed with a carport having a side door which stepped into the kitchen area. A breezeway from the carport led into the backyard and was in essence the "backdoor". During a complete remodel the carport was transformed into a spacious Master suite and the "breezeway" became an additional bath with washer and dryer. A winding 5 foot walkway along the side of the home now leads to ones entry to the backyard. With its close proximity to a wonderful riverfront park and downtown area (itself having undergone recent renovations and landscaping!) we were drawn to this home with its "relaxed coastal feel" within this quiet neighborhood. We would love to share our home with you and your family...Thanks so much for "looking our way"! Take Care, Jeff and Su

What an amazing little hidden gem!! This house is fantastic if you are looking for a comfortable space for you and your family/friends near St Mary’s downtown area. The owners are incredibly thoughtful, kind, and easy to communicate with. The house is lovely and cozy. It has everything you could need including super fast WiFi. We happened to have our dog with us, and the house was set up with all of us (the dog included). We will absolutely stay here again when we find ourselves in the area to visit family!

House was very warm and inviting. Close to town and beaches. Family friendly home even for the fur baby. We rented a golf cart for the week, visited the beaches and hung out with the locals. Awesome dog park just a minute away on the golf cart.

Excellent stay

The property is in a quiet, nice neighborhood. The house itself was so clean and decorated so nice in each of the rooms. We had everything we needed and the owners gave us clear instructions on how to access the property, connect to Wifi, Netflix.

We have stayed with Jeff and Su multiple times now and it is just as fabulous as the first time! The house sits in a clean, quiet neighborhood and the Aquatic Center is within walking distance. Seagles Restaurant is in the heart of downtown St. Mary's which is only 2 miles away. The house itself is clean, well maintained and decorated appropriately. We appreciate they allow pets and the three bedroom, 2 bath fits our needs perfectly. The kitchen is well stocked (utensils, eating ware) too. Looking forward to our next trip down.

Truly pet friendly

Jeff and Su were great hosts. They were so nice and friendly, very understanding, also super helpful. My family and I enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and the small town area. It was close enough for a day trip to the beach (we went three days in a row.) The whole house was clean and comfy! My dog loved the large yard to run and play in while we hung out and played, all in privacy.
