Great place to hang out indoors with great AC & plenty of room or outdoors and enjoy each others company. We had family from NC, TX & GA.
Temp’s were too hot to go anywhere but the beach.
So we crossed over into FL for a day which was perfect. The house had everything needed to satisfy
Our stay. We had games to play, BBQ supplies & a fully stocked kitchen. All we brought was the food.
We had the peace knowing the owners were just a phone call away but were never needed. Highly recommend for anyone’s GET AWAY!!

If you're looking for a relaxing getaway in a clean, well appointed home-away-from-home this is the place for you. It sure was for us! Our wheelchair bound adult son loved the elevator ride to the main level, and we loved the view from the upper deck. Michele is a gracious and attentive host. We'll be back!

My husband and I were looking at a golfing trip to Amelia Island when this home came up on my search. I was instantly enamored with the photos, each bedroom prettier than the next, not to mention the outside spaces and that view! The bedrooms are all spacious and feel like a relaxing space to curl up with a good book. We loved sitting outside on the decks enjoying the cool breeze with the view of the marsh and board walk.
We started and ended everyday with a walk to the downtown riverfront park with our pups. Golfed at Osprey Cove and Laurel Island Links it was perfect.
Loved the attention to detail in this rental: snacks, spices, laundry and dish soap. Above and beyond most vacation rentals.
The owner is very attentive with excellent communication making sure we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend this vacation home.

Ward Cottage was perfect for us! We spent a long weekend in St. Marys exploring the area, along with Amelia Island. The home had everything we needed. And, the elevator was a necessity as one of us is has mobility challenges. We had the good fortune to borrow a golf cart from a local which was fun to drive and allowed for easier exploring. Everything is close. Would definitely stay here again.

Felt like home from the moment we walked through the door. It was so warm and inviting, decorated with a coastal feel that made you just want to stay forever. Home was impeccably clean, with absolutely everything you needed. The hospitality that the Ward family showed was above and beyond gracious and welcoming! They were available 24/7 to help with any needs we had. Locals we’re so friendly, just can’t say enough good things about the Ward Cottage! This rental is “truly” 5 stars in our book! Thank you, Michele, for all the love, warmth and detail that you’ve put into this home. And thank you for the luxurious bedding!! 🌟

What a beautiful spot! The view from the upstairs balcony was amazing. This home was perfect. 3 master bedrooms with the most comply king beds. The welcome basket and beer in the fridge was a great touch. Easy short walk to restaurants, waterfront and park.

Ward Cottage was a delightful gathering place for our family's Thanksgiving celebration. It was super well equipped and we were able to cook a wonderful holiday meal. It was a great jumping off point to visit Jekyll Island, the Okefenokee Swamp and, of course, Cumberland Island. Our host stayed in touch during a visit and was very responsive to our requests. We would definitely return!

The house was perfect for 3 couples, each with a private bath. The house was clean, well decorated and very comfortable. There was more paper goods, snacks and drinks than we have ever seen in a vacation home. Ac and Wifi all worked well.

We booked this property last minute to get one more long weekend away before the kids started school. Booking, preparation and check in could not have been better. Owner is very responsive and helpful. As far as location it was perfect. One of the few properties in St Marys with a water view. We walked/biked the entire weekend. Steps away from downtown restaurants/shops. Historic downtown is very small and there are some businesses that have closed but there were still 4-5 excellent restaurants and multiple shops. We were fine with it since we really didn't want to get in the car. Be sure to take the ferry to Cumberland Island for the day. It was a great day trip. There's also a very nice public boat ramp right in the middle of downtown if you want to trailer your own boat. We'll be back.

Perfectly Relaxing!
My family stayed here for a week in April - had a really great time! Very relaxing, walkable to restaurants and pier, shopping, etc. We enjoyed the local restaurants and the ability to cook and make coffee at home if desired. We enjoyed a day trip to Cumberland and went paddle boarding in St Augustine. Really had a great time exploring Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach as well. We would definitely come back?

Beautiful Property & Amazing Views
We rented this home as our niece was getting married at a nearby restaurant and it was the perfect location. The property manager/owner was so friendly and helpful and made the check in process so simple. The home is beautiful and the third floor views are even better. If your looking for somewhere to relax and still be within walking distance to the restaurants on the waterfront this is the perfect place. It was also stocked with more items than just your basic necessities. They provided extra toiletries, make up wipes, plenty of towels, snack basket, waters and I could go on and on about all of the small touches they thought about. The beds are very comfortable and I love that each room has a private bathroom, it is perfect for couples who want to stay together but still have some privacy. This is definitely once of the best properties I have rented and stayed in. We will definitely be back as soon as we are able to.

This was our first time traveling to St. Mary's/Amelia area and this property allowed us to take advantage of everything the area had to offer. Not only was it the best stocked house we've EVER stayed in (and we travel everywhere), but it was also an ideal location with gorgeous views from the decks. The pictures don't do it justice!
Beds and pillows were heavenly... can't remember that last time we all slept so soundly starting on night 1! Explored Main Street, the boat docks, and took a day to explore Cumberland Island (a must). Quick 30min drive to Amelia Island / Fernandina Beach where we enjoyed the ocean and horse riding.
Our 11 year old golden loved the house and decks... great area to walk and explore!
Can't say enough about this house... If we could do 6 stars on this website we would!

Cozy Retreat
It was our family's first time to the area and the weather turned very cold (a record low). It was no hardship to stay at this cozy and well-stocked townhouse during the chilly hours! We thoroughly enjoyed visiting nearby Cumberland Island, and we found the local restaurants to have tasty fare, especially Southern River Walk, which has a Syrian chef!
5.0
The property is lively inside and the views from the master bedroom and second floor porch are a little piece of heaven overlooking the salt marsh and St. Mary's river in the distance. Sunsets from the porch are something to look forward to while sharing a glass of wine. The pictures on VRBO give you a glimpse of the beauty of this place. Joe and Marcy
