charming cottage,close to historic St. Mary's. Lovely patio for relaxing with our Aussie,Bert. Cottage had every possible convenience. Quiet and comfortable comfortablelancomfortable
This unit, although small, was very adequate for our 2 month stay. It’s in the perfect location for walking to town and the waterfront, as well as exploring so many phenomenal bicycling routes and historical sights.This was our first time to St Mary’s and we hope to return some day.
This is a great place to stay. House was very clean. Great neighborhood, very quiet and peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay. We would stay here again.
Definitely a great location. Owners were very communicative. Place is close to the main town. 3 minutes from the National Park Visitor Center.
Needs a tad of updating, we went to bar be cue and there was no gas. I can't give it half a star if not I would rate 4 1/2 stars.
We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable, close to the little town and the ferry over to Cumberland. The hosts were great. Thank you for your hospitality!
The property is strategically located near the restaurants and historical downtown area.
We had an amazing stay and the property completely satisfied our needs. It was nice and quiet and extremely comfortable. Proximity was key for us and it met our needs.
I love this little place!! It was perfect for my and my kids little weekend getaway. Next time i will bring my dog since there is a fully fenced back and side area. Thank you for letting us enjoy it!
We had a great time there.
Place was all we expected it to be.
Neat, clean and well maintained with supplies .
Manger Brittany ,was super great!!
Have stayed there before and will stay again.
Especially unit “B”. Love the privacy you have there.
My wife and I love this city. The people are incredibly nice and we always enjoy our time there in St Mary's. The Host takes care of us like family. This is our second stay in their home. So peaceful.

The cottage was the perfect location to take walks to the small town of Historic St. Mary’s, dinner, coffee shop, church. Quiet and well equipped.
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend in St. Mary’s. Cumberland Island is one of our favorite spots, and it was so nice to return to a hot shower and comfortable bed rather than having to hop in the car and drive back to Jax. The house was perfect for our needs- thank you!
Excellent place to stay in St Marys. In walking distance to cafes and waterfront. Studio B has nice fenced in courtyard for our Goldendoodle to play. Very clean and kitchen was well equipped!
We had a great time here for just a quick two day getaway. There was a little mishap in the check-in, but the property manager and owners worked quickly and communicated with us often to get everything sorted out. Lovely location and cute little property!
The property was comfortable and sized perfectly for two people or a small family. It has excellent private outdoor space for relaxing. Property manager, Brittany, was very responsive. We rented for a month and enjoyed neighborhood walks, birdwatching, Cumberland Island, Okefenokee Swamp, museums, Crooked River State Park, Jekyll and Amelia Islands. The waterfront restaurants are good. Locals Dockside for seafood; Riverside for lunch. Seagles also.
My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing stay at this cute, very clean and comfortable little cottage. We were in St. Marys for a post-birthday trip to relax and ride the Coastal Georgia Railway (which is a fun 1.5 hr excursion).
The property was perfect for us and was spotless! It was conveniently located to the downtown area and in a quiet neighborhood.
Communication with the owner was flawless and even had recommendations for restaurants and coffee shops.
I would definitely recommend it as an alternative to staying in a hotel!

We rented for an entire week, everything was thoughtfully displayed, laid out, or had helpful hints so we felt at home in our cottage. The linens were all clean, but showed some wear. The historic neighborhood was quiet and very walkable, and the private courtyard was an appreciated bonus. We ate all of our meals under the covered patio. The cottage made the stay with our border collie an easy one.
