Adorable Vintage Home @ St Mary's Waterfront
Our family loved everything about this home. Cozy, yet roomy enuf for privacy. Quiet neighborhood and convenient to great restaurants, museums, playgrounds, fishing, Cumberland Island Ferry, charming waterfront park with adult swings overlooking the peaceful water (our favorite "zen" activity), great biking & walking areas.. Hostess was promptly effective & pleasantly helpful to our question about the lockbox. It was a long drive from the northeast Georgis mountains but definitely worth every mile! We so very much hope to make a return visit! Thak you!

Adorable sweet place
Property is just as pictured, clean, comfortable and was perfect size for the two of us with furry baby but a family of four could easily love this cottage. Location couldn’t be better in St Mary’s - everything is within walking distance. Nice park near by on riverfront. Beds are comfy, perfect fenced in backyard for fur friends, nice screened in porch for outside sitting without the bugs getting you. It is soooo quiet even though you are right in town. We ate at Locals, Seagals, Riverfront Cafe - all were good and would recommend checking any of them out but Locals was our favorite…maybe because we stumbled on to an all you can eat shrimp special night - the grilled shrimp was amazing!! And Southern River Walk had a great breakfast. Take the ferry and go to Cumberland Island - wild horses were such fun to see and loved walking all the trails. Thanks Tiffany for sharing your home! We will be back!

Summer trip
We always look for places near water so our boys can fish and a place that is pet friendly. This place knocked it out the park. Not only was there great fishing piers right across the road but the creek near the house was full of fish and crabs. The fenced in backyard was great and some of the stores and restaurants are even pet friendly. They had two bikes for us to use which was awesome for a morning bike ride. Really you can walk to everything. We also brought a boat and used that to check out Cumberland island. And Tiffany made our stay amazing. She was so quick to reply to any questions. We will definitely be back.

This location truly lives up to its name. It is located in a spot where you are close distance to local restaurants and shopping as well having plenty of places to walk your dog. Close to Fernandina Beach for some great mini golf. All around a spot my husband and I would visit again.

A fabulous location cottage for walking everywhere in downtown St. Mary's for restaurants and sites. The best part is sitting on the back screened in porch drinking coffee in the am listening to the sweet sounds of all the birds. Loved it! Thank you.

This property is older but well loved. The proximity to St Mary’s waterfront is excellent and it’s a very short walk to where you board the Cumberland Queen II ferry. AC works fabulously!! We had to wrap up in blankets!

St Marys Cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the sweet spot. The cottage was adorable and a very convenient location to the ferry to Cumberland Island. Our little boy said it was the best vacation EVER. He enjoyed going on walks by the water every morning snd evening. We got to fish and see a concert in the park across the street. Tiffany was wonderful and got back to me quickly. I would definitely book with these amazing people again. I love the N. Ga mountains, but this was by far the most relaxing getaway I’ve had. Our pup was happy as well with the fenced in yard and meeting other dogs on our walks and the attention from locals and other vacationers. Can’t go wrong with an I've cream shop within walking distance.
