We stayed at this place for a bachelorette stay-cation because we’re out of Savannah but didn’t want to go too far due to some of us having younger children and everything was beautiful and fairly easy to navigate!! The bedding was so comfy and the house was so cozy. The price was too good for what we got!! 10/10

Excellent experience. Heather and Brian are amazing hosts. We’re down in St Mary’s for work and we needed to extend our stay in the area and their place was an available. We contacted Brian and Heather to see if we could drop off some of our perishables before having to head over to Cumberland and they were so accommodating! The house has everything you need for a great stay. Highly recommended!

This property was beautifully restored and a perfect location for our girls adventure to Cumberland Island. The only problem was our stay wasn't long enough. We look forward to staying again. Thank you for the hospitality !

As soon as we pulled into the property we were in love. The cottage is as neat as a pin. The entire house is exactly as pictured and every single thing inside worked! We stayed two nights and would have been perfectly comfortable for a week or two! The location is very convenient to the waterfront, restaurants, and shops which are lively in St. Marys. The house was perfectly (and I do mean perfectly!) clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Communication with the hosts was easy and to the point. Instructions were provided well in advance of arriving. We will stay here again. St. Mary’s is a delightful town and this little cottage was a wonderful experience!

The cottage is beautifully decorated and so comfortable- especially for our longer stay. Furnished with everything we needed. It was one of the cleanest rentals we have stayed at. Location is great, neighborhood felt very safe. The communication with our hosts was excellent. Would definitely return here

Comfort of home with touches of a 5-star hotel! The study off of the kitchen makes it more like a 3 bedroom home. Would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic! The house was great on all levels. The spaces, amenities, kitchen and design (I usually don’t comment on design), clean. The host was very responsive to a few questions and solved an “operator” issue for us. We all were together here for the evenings, six plus one 7 month old very comfortably and had a great time. Kitchen was very well equipped, and we used it more than we usually do. With our son and DOL and soon a grand daughter in St. Marys/Kingsland, we will be staying here again! The weather was not cooperative this time; but I look forward to a cup of coffee on the porch. Thanks Heather!

We absolutely loved our stay at Bailey Cottage! It’s perfect for groups! Our teenager and 7-year-old both had a great time. The house is beautifully renovated and truly one of the best-stocked rentals we’ve ever stayed in. From the well-equipped kitchen to the amazing board game selection, comfy beds, and plenty of towels, everything was thoughtfully provided.We especially appreciated having bikes available to explore the area, and the location couldn’t be better there were great local restaurants are just minutes away. Every detail made our stay comfortable and fun. Bailey Cottage is a gem and we can’t wait to come back!
