A Wonderful Getaway !!

This guest house is the perfect place to stay and in the perfect location walking distance from downtown St Mary. The charm was so inviting for a relaxing weekend getaway. We enjoyed winding down on the private balcony overlooking the water in evening. The property is clean, comfortable and quiet. Had a wonderful time and have plans to stay again .

Nice private room with great marsh views

Nice room located right on the marsh with its own private balcony with great west-facing views. Pretty much as advertised. Walking distance to Saint Mary’s. No kitchen in the room but a fridge with water and coffee machine/supplies in the hall just next to it so serviceable if you’re not trying to cook. Only complaint might be that google maps had a somewhat wrong location which made the place a little tricky to find at first but only briefly. Pretty ideal place for my purposes of spending a few days on Cumberland Island. Could also theoretically be used to explore Amelia Island or points south as you can see Florida from the balcony. The marsh-pier thing a few minute walk away had some of the best sunsets I’d ever seen in my life.

Amazing getaway 😍

Love this nestled in paradise! This was a breath of fresh air. The pictures didn't show justice on how beautifully decorated this place was. It was fresh & clean! The host was absolutely amazing. We originally booked only 2 night but just had to extend to a 3rd. It has a secret accress so you may come and go as you want! It's full peaceful and tranquility! I have to come back soon! Love this place!!!
