About this property

QUIET & COZY Coastal Cottage, walkable to St. Marys waterfront

Unit 'C' - the private detached cottage of the Coastal Charmer - contains 870 square feet with a large bedroom with king bed, separate living room and breakfast/keeping room, full bath and full size kitchen that seats four at the bar. The living room has pocket doors so it can be closed off to sleep two more people on the pull-out sofa bed. There is ample space to spread out and relax - a perfect setting for longer stays or a working vacation. The bedroom has a private covered porch and the main outdoor patio area seats four. Based on availability, jointly booking the adjacent house on the property with downstairs Unit 'A' (VRBO #2718485) and upstairs Unit 'B' (VRBO #2883827) can accommodate a total occupancy of twelve people.

Enjoy ocean breezes from the covered front porch while you gaze across the large wooded lot to views of the marsh and North River, with Cumberland Island in the distance.

Bike or walk only six blocks through a quiet neighborhood to the St. Marys waterfront, where you can board the ferry to Cumberland Island, enjoy shopping and restaurants, stroll to historic sites, launch a kayak or put your boat on the water. Rent a golf cart or E-bike to venture across the entirety of the downtown area.

The property is a half-acre lot, so bring your boat and park next to where you stay!! There is a public boat ramp within 3 blocks of the house, and another one at the downtown waterfront. The St. Marys and North Rivers boast excellent year round fishing and boating and provide easy access to the Atlantic Ocean and nearby Fernandina Beach waterfront within 15 minutes.

A month in St. Mary’s Georgia

Property was clean, well stocked with basic supplies and within close distance to the historic St Mary’s area. This is a great little place for anyone to occupy for short or long term stays in the St Mary’s area There was adequate space and sleeping available for three adults for 5 days during my stay and plenty of quiet alone time

Highly Recommended

This is a charming, very clean, very well organized, very well maintained little cottage. I booked it for an overnight stay when I unexpectedly needed to get from upper South Carolina to lower Florida very quickly. The cottage welcomed me with plenty of space, labels on all the switches, and very clear, easy to follow instructions from the hosts. The huge yard and view of the coast are delightful. The next time I have to make this trip, I hope it is available.

Quiet & Light-filled Cottage

We were so happy with our stay at the quiet and light-filled cottage - its lovely setting in Historic St. Marys downtown was perfect. The welcome book provided restaurant and shopping suggestions along with a walking guide for the town's points of interest. The full kitchen was neat, clean and had everything we needed for cooking; the king bed was extra comfy for sleeping along with an efficient air conditioner and ceiling fans to keep things cool. The living room felt like a garden room with windows on three sides and morning light streaming in. Set back from the street, the cottage feels very private and is surrounded by beautiful green lawn and trees. Our hosts responded to our questions promptly. We look forward to our next stay here!

Upsetting

I would never rent this VBRO again. Our first night there I received a message from the owner wanting a maintenance person to check the thermostat at 9 am the next morning. Air was working fine we were comfortable. I told him we had plans shortly after 9sm. He sent an email which I didn’t see and said the maintenance person had access. I never gave my permission for anyone to come in. He did come in while we’re gone. On my way home from our stay I received an email and a voicemail from the owner stating her maid found a stain on the comforter. I did not see a stain. We left the house in very good condition I called her back. She demanded $30 for the comforter replacement. She said she had reported me to VBRO. I felt bullied. After reflecting I remembered I had paid a cleaning fee and a damage fee. She should have washed the comforter and if the so called stain didn’t come out call the damage insurance company, not me The owner had placed a $30 request on my credit card. She did rescind it but I had received a notice of overdue payment of the $30 The sister trip where we should have been reflecting on the fun we had ended up being a completely upsetting problem over $30 I have never been repeatedly emailed, called, and texted from an owner before.

Perfect. Cozy. Enough room for a small family Christmas Eve party. The only thing missing is a soaking tub. Great neighborhood. Well appointed. Squirrels in the yard.

A perfect cottage in St. Mary’s

This was the perfect cottage for a long weekend for my husband and me in St. Mary’s. The house is super clean, comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked with all that you will need. We loved the location, as it is within walking distance to the adorable town of St. Mary’s. We hope to return soon.
