Great halfway point for our trip

The pelican perch was super cozy. Had everything we needed. The golf cart was a bonus for heading down for sunset every evening at the waterfront and for checking out with town.

The location was perfect. It was nice and quiet. We came here to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city & to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was SO clean.

Best of the best!

The location is awesome for visiting St Mary’s and Cumberland Island area. The property was even better than described, spotlessly clean, well stocked and very comfortable. The grounds are a beautiful garden with lots of flowering local plants and the birds and bees they attract. The outdoor area is also top notch with nice patio area and gas grill. Hosts were very friendly and available if needed. Overall one of the best VRBO locations we have ever rented and we have been to many great locations 5 stars plus!
