This place was perfect for my family of 4. We went to Cumberland island and it’s within walking distance of the ferry. We were also able to walk to a few restaurants for dinner and breakfast. The beds are so comfortable! We loved it!
This home is so close to the ferry terminal to Cumberland Island. Walking distance to restaurants and shops is the quaint town of St. Marys. Perfect home for small families and adequately equipped with everything we needed.
The location is stellar. A short walk to restaurants and shops as well as the ferry to the island and the park. The house is comfortably furnished and clean. All aspects of the house are functional although some updates would be nice.
The place is really cute, one street back from the main drag. The house is comfortable and clean. We made good use of the kitchen and screened porch. The bed in the master is pretty comfy
We loved staying here and being able to walk to the Cumberland Island ferry and restaurants. We did move the car all weekend. The house was very comfortable for my family. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was clean. We found the neighborhood quiet.
Adorable little two bedroom in the heart of St. Marys. Walking distance to riverfront park, ferry and restaurants. Wish we could have stayed longer. We’ll be back!

The home was very comfortable and clean. It was in walking distance to everything we needed. It was very family friendly area. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to go to Cumberland Island to stay here. Landlord was very quickly to respond to my messages. Grandchildren enjoyed having a playground across the street.
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.
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!
We always look for places near water so our boys can fish and a place that is pet friendly. This place knocked it out the park. Not only was there great fishing piers right across the road but the creek near the house was full of fish and crabs. The fenced in backyard was great and some of the stores and restaurants are even pet friendly. They had two bikes for us to use which was awesome for a morning bike ride. Really you can walk to everything. We also brought a boat and used that to check out Cumberland island. And Tiffany made our stay amazing. She was so quick to reply to any questions. We will definitely be back.
Property is just as pictured, clean, comfortable and was perfect size for the two of us with furry baby but a family of four could easily love this cottage. Location couldn’t be better in St Mary’s - everything is within walking distance. Nice park near by on riverfront. Beds are comfy, perfect fenced in backyard for fur friends, nice screened in porch for outside sitting without the bugs getting you. It is soooo quiet even though you are right in town. We ate at Locals, Seagals, Riverfront Cafe - all were good and would recommend checking any of them out but Locals was our favorite…maybe because we stumbled on to an all you can eat shrimp special night - the grilled shrimp was amazing!! And Southern River Walk had a great breakfast. Take the ferry and go to Cumberland Island - wild horses were such fun to see and loved walking all the trails. Thanks Tiffany for sharing your home! We will be back!
My husband and I rented the house to be close to Cumberland island ferry, it did not disappoint. Walking distance to the ferry, lovely clean and convenient place to stay. Walking distance to town restaurants and shopping.
It was everything we wanted and more for a quick get away. House is charming with a lot of history. The location is prime for walking around and taking everything in. It’s also has quick access to other destinations but the get away of the busy city when your ready to wind down. The energy and the local environment will have us returning percent…..
House is exactly what you want for a trip to st marys. Waterfront at your front door and everything there is to do walking distance from where youll lay your head down!

The place was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the a/c worked well. The host is responsive and friendly.
We were very comfortable during our stay. We could see the owners have made a great deal of effort to make guests comfortable. The location was fantastic, we wish the weather had been so too, but the full day of our stay was very windy and cold.
House/property was exactly how it was described in listing. Very cute older home. Clean,Comfortable and Convenient. With in walking distance to restaurant,beach and the Cumberland island Ferry. Within 5-10 mins from a sweet Bakery and an Aldi grocery. Also St. Simons is only an hour away which is also a lovely place on the water
