Very cute place with all amenities you could want! The entire place feels brand new and the two bedrooms were very nice to have. And, the location is perfect for taking the ferry and grabbing a bite to eat at the local restaurants. I highly recommend staying here (it is perfect for four adults/children)!

Quaint river view home

This is the 4th home we have rented in St Mary ‘s and each very nice and would probably rent again but this home was more cozy, quaint, well decorated and the view from the porch was the best of the homes we have rented.
