Tiffany was great to work with. She alone is worth 5 stars. The location was also a 5. There were a lot of stairs which made it difficult for a couple of people in our party. We appreciated that the property felt like it had been well cleaned. The property is definitely in need of some TLC though. There was a little bit of a mildew smell to the upper level bathroom and bedroom. The upstairs bathroom is pretty dated. The kitchen had the things required, but could have used a few more pots, pans and seasonings. There were no extra regular garbage bags for the kitchen garbage. With that being said, we all agreed we would stay here again. The location is amazing and the fishing dock was amazing with gorgeous views. This is a place you stay at for location alone and it was definitely worth the price. Tiffany, again you were fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about her. The hitchhikers our little dog would get in his hair were also terrible as a caution to those with pets. And be careful of the trees that are at the end of the driveway. It made for careful exits. We almost hit the tree a few times as we were coming and going a lot for wedding.

Great house and great views with fishing!

This is our 2nd time staying at this home. We thoroughly enjoy the views and fishing from the boat or the dock. You can put your boat in just down the road and leave it at the protected dock and just jump in and go. Communication with Tiffany when needed is superior. We will be back again.

Great for boaters

Beautiful home in a beautiful setting with a very nice floating dock. Dock is suitable for boats up to 25 feet or so. Public ramp is about 10 minutes by car, 5 minutes by boat. Large kitchen, large bedrooms, huge deck with a beautiful view. We enjoyed a fire outside one chilly afternoon. One PSA for boaters: the streets near the house and the driveway are narrow and winding, and there isn't an easy turnaround at the end of the road. With an 18-foot skiff, it wasn't a problem, but with a larger boat, you might want to launch the boat first rather than towing it to the house. Overall, a great stay and we hope to be back.

Holiday Stay / Family Get-Away

Clean, comfortable, lots of room for our family (mom, dad, two college-age sons) to spread out. Quiet neighborhood and waterfront location. Great kitchen for cooking all our meals in. Good pick if St. Marys is your home base for a week and want to relax.
