Beautiful property, well maintained and well equipped. On check in, property owner couldn't accept payment, had a slight delay in reaching the correct vrbo office to pay balance due. Very easy once I got the right office. Couldn't operate TV, instructions weren't correct, owner came over and fixed it. Very friendly owner, gave lots of info about the community.

If we could give it a 20 we would. We loved this apt. it was very clean, comfortable (the bed too) & very well stocked. The owners were very nice & they really thought of everything one may need when staying away from home. The attention to details was beyond expectations. Moreover, being able to borrow beach chairs & Umbrella was great and although we didn't use the golf cart or bikes, it was a nice touch to include all of that with the rental. We were also very impressed with the property's magical garden, it was so tranquil and beautiful. We were able to enjoy seating in the private patio overlooking all the beautiful flowers & trees. It was also a great location 2 min. from downtown and Cumberland Island Ferry & 45 Minutes from Fernandina Beach & Ameila Island, FL. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place. The best vrbn we have ever been to, hands down. We honestly loved it. Thank you for having us!

****************************************
The Pelican Perch definitely exceeded our expectations. The apartment was so cozy and comfortable that we felt at home immediately. The apt was spacious enough that we never felt cramped during our 6 week stay.
We could not believe how quiet the neighbour is. Sitting outside on the comfortable chairs, reading a book, enjoying a glass of wine while listening to the birds and being surrounded by beautiful landscaping could not have been more relaxing.
Wendy and Michael are wonderful hosts. They are so friendly and personable and made us feel very much at home.
We will definitely be returning next year for a month.
Anyone choosing the Pelican Perch will not be disappointed.

The apartment was spotless with everything that you need for a comfortable stay. Very quiet location and the grounds are a gardener's delight - very beautiful! We did not get to meet Mike and Wendy as they were called out of town, but we hope to stay again in the future as we continue to look for our retirement home. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed!

Nothing but good things to say about the property and the hosts. Comfy, lovely beach-y decor, and convenient to downtown St Mary's which is such a nice town in its own right. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to the area.

This is a great place to stay. St Marys isn't for people looking for a place like South Beach Miami. It is a small slow paced town. If you are looking for a clean quiet place to stay in a historic town on the water you can't beat Pelican's Perch.

We went to St. Mary’s to take the ferry over to Cumberland Island so we booked this adorable, super clean with all the extras cottage.
Everything was perfect and they have a beautiful garden area you can enjoy too as well as a work out center.
My husband states he thought it was one of the best and cleanest places we’ve ever stayed in.
Thank you Wendy for the use of this beautiful property as well as golf cart .

My husband and I stayed a couple of nights in this beautiful cottage. It is so neat and clean. Everything in the pictures of this place is accurate, but it is so much more beautiful in person! The hosts, Mike and Wendy are super! A golf cart was included in our stay. It was a nice touch to our stay. We drove it down to the riverwalk and had a nice evening. We didn't want to leave, as it was our paradise away from daily life at home. We will be sure to come back to this same property. It was a comfortable home away from home. I highly recommend this place to others!

A Pelican's Perch is the most well thought out vacation rental we've ever stayed in. The grounds are exquisite- beautiful plants & flowers and the cottage is so cheerful - filled with beautiful Art and every amenity you could think of or might have forgotten in packing for your trip. The hosts were perfect and the generous use of their golf cart made our trip even more fun and memorable.

Clean, quiet, and comfy.
We wanted to stay in St Mary’s near the Cumberland Island ferry. This was the perfect place. Pelican’s perch was about a mile away. We rode our bike rentals to the ferry—very convenient. The hosts work hard maintain their property. It is beautiful. The yard looks like something out of Better Homes & Garden magazine! Pelican’s perch met all our needs. It is very clean, quiet, and comfy. It sits above a detached garage, but you would never know. We never heard the garage door open or close below us. The hosts provided a golf cart for use near the perch. We rode it downtown to dinner every evening. Thank you Wendy and Michael. We hope to return next year to see another section of Cumberland Island.

What a wonderful place to rent in St. Mary's, GA. The owners are accommodating in every way. The property is beautifully landscaped, the garage apartment is so cute, beautifully decorated and met our need of a one bed one bath rental. Included in the rental were a Golf Cart & bikes which were a plus. We would highly recommend this rental.
