Everything was just as described kids loved it plenty of room for them to play and great location right on the water we will definitely stay again in the future
Comfortable place to enjoy St Mary’s GA. From coffee on the deck to drinks, dinner, and stunning sunsets on the dock, to relaxing paddle boarding/kayaking on the chill North River this place fit the bill!
We stayed at this house for our honeymoon! It was beautiful with great accomodations, and the owner was easy to get a hold of if we ever needed anything!
Tiffany was amazing! She was so accommodating and kind. She gave us great ideas of places to go and attractions to see. The home was so cozy and relaxing. We also had a great time on the paddle boards and kayaks. We will definitely be back.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay. The home was very comfortable, the sunsets were beautiful, and the location was perfect for access to Cumberland Island. We spent alot of time enjoying the view and peaceful setting under the covered deck.
This was our second visit to this home and it was just as wonderful as the first. The kitchen is well equipped, the home was clean and the sunset view from the back porch and dock is spectacular. We will definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful stay at this property- fenced back yard, tire swing, fire pit, and the house was peefect for our family- the owners were fast to respond to any questions, and overall, it was just a great week
Clean, comfortable, lots of room for our family (mom, dad, two college-age sons) to spread out. Quiet neighborhood and waterfront location. Great kitchen for cooking all our meals in. Good pick if St. Marys is your home base for a week and want to relax.
I brought my brother and his wife, and my mother. My brother was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. This place is was just what he needed. The outside deck and the sunsets were just astounding!! We had to he best family get together! The host was easy to communicate with.! We will definitely stay again!!
Beautiful home (upstairs could use a little attention) with breathtaking views of the river and sunsets. We are already looking to plan another trip in the near future.
We had a great time! The house was very clean. We enjoyed spending time together and the dock was so much fun. So peaceful and quiet. We will stay again.
This house was as Advertised! Views were beautiful, neighborhood quiet, house comfortable! David and Tiffany were great hosts and very attentive to any request! Would definitely recommend and I hope to be back so ((:
We had a wonderful week riding bikes, crabbing and fishing from the dock, meeting the locals of st Mary’s. We also spent a day at Amelia island and a day on Jekyll island. House was clean and super comfortable with several amenities of home. We will return for sure!!
