Cozy and cute
This unit, although small, was very adequate for our 2 month stay. It’s in the perfect location for walking to town and the waterfront, as well as exploring so many phenomenal bicycling routes and historical sights.This was our first time to St Mary’s and we hope to return some day.

Quaint and Cozy
Definitely a great location. Owners were very communicative. Place is close to the main town. 3 minutes from the National Park Visitor Center.
Needs a tad of updating, we went to bar be cue and there was no gas. I can't give it half a star if not I would rate 4 1/2 stars.

Month Stay At Norris Cottage B
The property was comfortable and sized perfectly for two people or a small family. It has excellent private outdoor space for relaxing. Property manager, Brittany, was very responsive. We rented for a month and enjoyed neighborhood walks, birdwatching, Cumberland Island, Okefenokee Swamp, museums, Crooked River State Park, Jekyll and Amelia Islands. The waterfront restaurants are good. Locals Dockside for seafood; Riverside for lunch. Seagles also.

Wonderful Weekend on Cumberland Island
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend in St. Mary’s. Cumberland Island is one of our favorite spots, and it was so nice to return to a hot shower and comfortable bed rather than having to hop in the car and drive back to Jax. The house was perfect for our needs- thank you!

Great stay fir a weekend getaway!
My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing stay at this cute, very clean and comfortable little cottage. We were in St. Marys for a post-birthday trip to relax and ride the Coastal Georgia Railway (which is a fun 1.5 hr excursion).
The property was perfect for us and was spotless! It was conveniently located to the downtown area and in a quiet neighborhood.
Communication with the owner was flawless and even had recommendations for restaurants and coffee shops.
I would definitely recommend it as an alternative to staying in a hotel!

Great location with everything you could need
We stayed in St. Marys to go to Cumberland Island national seashore to see the wild horses after traveling in SC, Savannah, and Tybee Island. This accomodation's location was perfect, just a short drive downtown to the ferry. If the weather had been cooler, we could have walked.
The accommodation is spacious with a fully stocked kitchen and lovely outdoor space. We saw two lizards outside, a skink and an anole. Having Netflix already logged in prevented frustration we have experienced at other vacation homes.
The only drawbacks are the queen/full bed sags toward the middle, and when you're in the bathroom, you can hear the people in the attached accommodation if they're in their bathroom. Neither is unusual in a VRBO or really an issue.
We would stay here again and recommend it!

Thoughtful Hosts
We rented for an entire week, everything was thoughtfully displayed, laid out, or had helpful hints so we felt at home in our cottage. The linens were all clean, but showed some wear. The historic neighborhood was quiet and very walkable, and the private courtyard was an appreciated bonus. We ate all of our meals under the covered patio. The cottage made the stay with our border collie an easy one.
