Beautiful apartment! Everything a traveler would want or need. We booked thru VRBO and had issues w owner not knowing or being notified we booked the apartment for two nights. Luckily Mike was outside when we pulled in-he had no idea we were coming. Unfortunately the golf cart was broken and we couldn’t use it.

We had a wonderful stay at The Pelican’s Perch! It is absolutely adorable and spacious for a one-bedroom place. We didn’t cook, but everything is there if you need to. There are extra surceys all around such as the sample local soap in the bathroom, the chocolates on the side table, and the bowl of snacks on the kitchen bar. Everything was clearly labeled, too. The bed was quite comfortable, and use of the golf cart was such a nice touch as well. So glad we stumbled upon St. Marys, and it was great to meet Wendy and Mike! Oh, and the food at the Harbor restaurant was really good. And if you’re a breakfast person, do not miss out on trying Steffens in Kingsland! It’s an old diner with amazing home-cooked food.
