I highly recommend the cottage. It is immaculately clean, very comfortable, has all of most modern appliances and conveniences, and is located in a very quiet and pleasant neighborhood. The property manager is outstanding to work with!
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.
Perfect size house with lots of room, very clean, and super attentive host. The pool was much bigger than I expected and was an amazing addition to the property.

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
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!

Thank you, your family, as well as pups! -so much for choosing your vacation at Kai Cottage!
Stacey
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.

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!
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.

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!
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!!

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.

We rented it for the spring break 2025. It is a cozy property in a quiet neighborhood. Stacey took care of every detail. The house was stuck with those things you need, from coffee to toothpaste. We have a great time there. Thanks, Stacey, for such a nice gateway.

We have family in the area and we came to town to visit. We had family over and swam in the pool. It was wonderful! This house is very clean and organized. Plenty of extra linens. Decorated beautifully and warm and cozy. We would definitely rent this home again!

I highly recommend Kai Cottage. The host replied quickly and answered any questions we had. Absolutely everything that we needed was provided. I especially appreciate that she left everything for our morning coffee. Even left us a sweet treat. The house was extremely clean. Having our own screened in pool was wonderful especially to jump in to cool off after spending a hot summer day on Cumberland Island. The cottage was right down the street from the ferry and, even in the heat, Cumberland Island was magnificent!! Would definitely stay here again!

Stacey has thought of everything. The cottage is so cute. Very well stocked with everything you would need. Clean and comfortable!The pool was amazing, and she even had floats and toys to use! I highly recommend this place! Waking up in the morning and sitting in the enclosed porch, watching birds and squirrels while drinking my coffee was just so relaxing, i fell asleep many times, which is just what I wanted and needed.All around amazing!
Kai Cottage Was exactly as advertised and more. Went to visit my daughter and grandchildren, and it was perfect as we enjoyed the day by the pool and took the advice of our host and had a wonderful dinner at Locals restaurant. Stacy was the perfect host and very easy to communicate with. Yes, I will definitely return return to Kai Cottage for my return visits
