The house was beautiful, comfortable and had all the necessities without being crowded with a bunch of leftovers from other guests in the drawers. The host responded very promptly to all communications. We will definitely consider staying here again!

We loved our stay! The house is well-equipped and very comfortable. We found we could easily walk to the ferry and restaurants - so we didn’t use our car at all during our stay. (And the four of us are in our 70s!) Highly recommend!

Great stay in St. Mary's

Beautiful historic property. We loved how it was decorated. You could feel the history but at the same time it was nicely updated and very comfortable. It had everything we needed and it was very close to the ferry and downtown.
