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!

Great place, best location
Everything was great but in particular the location across from the ferry was perfect. My young son and I were able to have an overnight adventure on the island while my sister and brother-in-law stayed and enjoyed St Mary after a day trip to the island with us.

Cute little place with a great location, the bikes are a big plus to do some exploring with. Restaurants in easy walking distance, and a free public boat ramp across the street that isn't the least bit crowded.

10 year anniversary visit
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.

We loved our stay here! So easy to walk to Saint Mary's Park, Historic Downtown and to local restaurants. We didn't use the hot tub, but it was nice to have that option. We will absolutely stay here again.
