What a lovely home. Quiet neighborhood, ample parking, everything well stocked and immaculate. Communication with the host was amazing. We would definitely stay there again!
Absolutely beautiful home. Lori was amazing. She was friendly, communicative and just all around wonderful. We had everything we needed, we will definitely be back. Thank you Lori!
Our stay was wonderful. This cottage is clean, beautiful and spacious. The photos on the listing don’t do it justice. The neighborhood is very quiet. We would love to stay here again in the future.
Beautifully decorated in a comfortable relaxing decor with all the amenties we needed. Outside yard had large oak trees that were very beautiful. Within walking distance of downtown and restaurants. We had a very enjoyable stay and appreciate the owners attention to detail. We loved our stay here.
All of my group was impressed by how clean and neat this cottage was! Also on a peaceful street with a relatively short walk to several good restaurants!

Beautiful home. Incredibly clean. Look forward to staying there again!
What an adorable, comfortable, clean, spacious, and inviting cottage! Our family travels often and both my teenage sons said this is one of their favorite places we’ve stayed. The owner made check-in super easy and was available if we needed anything. The cottage is spotless and the decor is subtle beach vibes with a modern flare. (And the beds are super comfortable)! It’s a great location…close to downtown St. Marys. HIGHLY recommend this cottage!
This was a beautiful, super clean home in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay! Comfortable beds and all basics provided. The house is completely remodeled in a lovely coastal style. Would certainly stay here again.
We came to St Mary’s to visit family and this place provided the perfect location for site seeing and visiting family in the area. It was clean and comfortable and the neighborhood was very quiet. We really enjoyed our stay.
What a beautiful home, with so many nice, warm touches! Built with a keen “Southern touch”, this was the cleanest, most welcoming VRBO we’ve ever rented. Lori was a pleasure to work with, and downtown St Marys is a great location for a relaxed getaway.
We’ll definitely be back!
Had a weekend of activities and visits with family. This cabin was so cozy and comfortable to get a bit of rest during the festivities. It felt like home and we would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.
You will not be disappointed. The home was well appointed and the master bedroom had a Temper-pedic mattress with bed elevation control. St. Mary’s waterfront was a short drive away.
Hurricane Helene knocked out power so we were not able to stay there. BUT owner communicated extremely well throughout the process. I would book here again. Unit is adorable and was spotless!!!
The house is just as listed and very comfortable. A great quiet neighborhood and easy to get to “downtown” in about5 minutes. Sweet stay. Really enjoyed a glass of wine in the evening rocking on the front porch under the live oaks.
Twin Oaks and St. Mary's meet all the benchmarks for a perfect coastal getaway! I stumbled across this Vrbo listing while planning our trip to Cumberland Island to see the wild horses. St. Mary's has several B & B type places, but the description and price of Twin Oaks was intriguing so we booked our 3 day/nights and were not disappointed. We fell in love with the town of St. Mary's and can't think of a better spot to get away/
The Twin Oaks Cottage is immaculate. The hosts seem to have thought of everything guests need - from the Keurig coffee maker and pods, to the rocking chairs and swing on the front porch everything contributes to the relaxing vibe. The air conditioning was perfect, the kitchen fully equipped If you are tired, rest on the most comfortable reclining sofa and watch TV or take a nap. If you have any questions, Lori is just a phone call away. I had one question and called - she answered immediately. Kudos to Lori and her team!
