My husband and I came for relaxation. We have stayed here, I think 4 or more times. It is a lovely apartment, well stocked with all of the necessities. Wendy and Michael are on hand, if you should run into any problems.It’s is a second floor unit, but the stairs are a very easy climb.

This is a great place to stay. St Marys isn't for people looking for a place like South Beach Miami. It is a small slow paced town. If you are looking for a clean quiet place to stay in a historic town on the water you can't beat Pelican's Perch.

We enjoyed our stay at pelicans perch. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed being able to take the golf cart and stroll around downtown Saint Mary’s. The cottage was a brief distance to Ferdinand beach which was also a good find.

We had a very relaxing stay at Pelicans Perch! We have stayed at this apartment before and loved it then. Still loved it now! It was clean, relaxing, beautiful gardens, very nice bathroom essentials. In fact, I just ordered the shampoo and shower soap. Very luxurious! Wendy and Michael are great hosts, they’re available but , in no way intrusive.

The apartment was spotless with everything that you need for a comfortable stay. Very quiet location and the grounds are a gardener's delight - very beautiful! We did not get to meet Mike and Wendy as they were called out of town, but we hope to stay again in the future as we continue to look for our retirement home. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed!

Truly exceeded our expectations. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the attention to detail in the decor created a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The checkin/checkout process of the property was outstanding, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience throughout the stay. Access to St. Mary’s was a breeze with the ability to use the golf cart! The crisp hotel style sheets added an extra touch of comfort. This charming cottage was a perfect stay.

Beautiful property, well maintained and well equipped. On check in, property owner couldn't accept payment, had a slight delay in reaching the correct vrbo office to pay balance due. Very easy once I got the right office. Couldn't operate TV, instructions weren't correct, owner came over and fixed it. Very friendly owner, gave lots of info about the community.

From the very first glimpse of this property until watching it fade in our rear view mirror this was one of the most amazing places we've ever stayed. The proprietors were the kindest and most gracious hosts one could ask for. And Pelican's Perch itself was like something out of Southern Living or Conde Naste. Spacious, clean, comfortable and with every imaginable amenity and modern convenience. We will be back to visit St. Marys many times and will always stop in to stay at the Perch.
