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

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.

Very quiet and clean!

House is conveniently located to St. Marys and Kings Bay. The home is in nice neighborhood that is easy to find and is very quiet. Very clean and cared for. It is also well stocked with cooking items (pots & pans, mixer, coffee maker, etc). Great backyard! Large. Nice fire pit. Will definitely be staying again on the next trip to the St. Marys area.

Fantastic place!

My wife and I stayed a few days and really enjoyed it. We have rented many houses over the years a this one was the cleanest and most thoughtful with the little extras. By most thoughtful, I mean the little things they thought you may forget. Like all trips, we forgot a couple of things but didn’t have to worry much, they had backs up in the house. The location is perfect for the St Mary’s experience. Minutes from everything. We went to Cumberland Island, the boardwalk, and ate at some really good restaurants. We took a short trip to Amelia Island to the beach, beautiful area as well. We will definitely be booking this again very soon

Enjoyed our stay at your home

My two sisters, our mother, our aunt, my boyfriend, and our dog came from Kinston, NC for our grandmother’s /mother’s funeral. We really loved your home. It was a clean, very comfortable, nicely furnished home. We loved the beach theme of the decor. Neighborhood was very quiet. The home had everything we needed. The only thing we were short on was washcloths. Which we went and bought a couple to have while there and left them for future guests also. Home was very clean. Would definitely recommend to anyone going to the Saint Mary’s area. Price was also great. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming in their communications with us. Very pleased overall. Would definitely stay again when we come back to the area.

*** Perfect stay at Buoy O Buoy ***

Wonderful Thanksgiving memories made at 'Buoy O Buoy' :o) Jeff + Su have created a cozy environment for family to Gather, Laugh & Enjoy one another. Home is clean and fully stocked. Water pressure is fantastic. Both air conditioner and heating work well. Bedrooms are an excellent size. The backyard is huge! Our dogs loved it back there. It is also a safe neighborhood to take your dogs for a walk. Jeff provided top-notch communication and I appreciated his authentic & genuine nature.

Perfect home for a short getaway to St. Mary's

Communication with hosts was exceptional. All of the information needed was available. The home was very clean and well maintained. We did have an issue getting the washer and dryer to work (two tries on the washer and three on the dryer and the clothes came out wet). We felt safe and comfortable. Close to town, restaurants, and shopping. We had planned on going further down into Florida but found St. Mary's to be a great place to visit, so we stuck around and visited Cumberland Island. Would highly recommend.
