You will have a two block walk to board the Cumberland Queen II on your visit to beautiful Cumberland Island. You will have views of the St. Marys River from your front porch and bedroom 2. The back patio overlooks the History Walking Park. Many restaurants and shops are within walking distance from the cottage.

Excellent property. Very clean. Close to everything. The host was very responsive to all questions. The only thing I could see an issue for older folks would be that the bed height was very high. Really liked the seating area and tv in each bedroom. Would def stay again if in the area!!

The townhome was so clean and fresh we didn’t want to leave! Perfect location to explore the quaint town of st. Mary’s and the history surrounding the area. Everyone, including the host, Amy, was so friendly and inviting. We enjoyed learning about this area as we explored all of the beautiful sites surrounding St. Mary’s island! Thank you, Amy!

Gorgeous townhome!

Loved our stay in St. Marys. The townhouse was beautifully decorated and was a very good location. Walkable to the river to watch the sunset and to many different restaurants and the park. History walking track right out the back door of the townhouse.

Perfect Getaway

This was a wonderfully located gem situated in the heart of downtown St. Mary's. a beautiful, clean space overlooks the marsh, perfect scenery for your morning coffee or sunset-watching cocktail. We were able to visit Fernandina Beach, Tybee, Cumberland Island all within an hour. Very gracious host.

Relaxing Home & Great Location

My wife & I stayed here for our Anniversary. It was a comfortable stay with everything we needed. The house was a great location to restaurants, stores, & the downtown waterfront of St. Mary's. This was a perfect place for us to visit St. Mary's and our day trip to Cumberland Island.We would highly recommend this property to others. It was a memorable weekend & relaxing stay.

Cutest little cottage

The pictures do not do this place enough justice. This was our first time in St. Mary's and I was traveling with myself and two small children. We pulled up and immediately just love with everything about it. From the cute little front porch to entering the home itself. I went shopping before hand but was surprised by all the little things they had available. The beds were comfortable and the home felt truly welcoming to make yourself comfortable during your stay. You could see the sunset from one of the bedroom windows but did go on the pier which is literally across the street to take in some views. My son, who is obsessed with boats, enjoyed seeing all the sailboats. The walk into town was very doable for a 5 & 7 year old as we easily walked into town the day we took the ferry to Cumberland. The owner was very accessible and more than accommodating, even mailed my child's toy we left behind. This definitely wont be our last time at St Mary's, I cant wait to revisit and will surely book this place again.

Amazing all around

This is truly one of the best places we have ever rented. The owner is amazing, great communication and very prompt with responses. The townhouse was very clean, very well stocked and the special touches in the home were all very welcoming and made us feel at home. The location is perfect, within walking distance of everything in St Mary’s. Honestly cannot say enough amazing things.

Perfect property!

This was a mother daughter trip which we do every year with my now 90 year old mother. We found the cottage to be very clean, beautifully decorated and fully stocked with everything we needed down to water bottles in the frig. Beds were comfy and there were lots of towels. The only caveat is that had there been 4 of us one of the beds was quite small, a full I believe and although it smelled wonderful inside the fragrance was a bit strong. The living area was perfect for relaxing in the evenings and the location was within walking distance from the quaint downtown historical district and the ferry. There is a beautiful dock right across the street to enjoy the River view and a great riverside park just down the street. Parking for both vehicles is right in front. I would highly recommend this property!
