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 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.

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!!!

Place was great. Clean, quiet, everything we needed. Check in was a bit confusing but I think it was the app, not the host. Really nice seafood and drinks just 5 minute walk away with a nice public pier nearby. Had a nice stay.

Quiet and quaint!

Being teachers and ending the school year, this vacation spot was just what we needed. The place was quiet and restful with a beautiful view from the balcony and was nestled into the small and quaint downtown of St.Mary’s. We also spent a day on Cumberland Island and loved how close we were to the ferry! Definitely recommend.

Beautifully decorated private guest suite. It was a perfect place for my husband and I. Everything was clean and ready when we arrived. The mini fridge and coffee maker were very convenient. It’s within walking distance to several restaurants, shops and the Cumberland Island ferry. We even ventured out to Amelia and Jekyll Islands. We would definitely stay there again!!

Loretta is amazing and she also has a wealth of local knowledge. Check in is as easy as it gets, the location of the property as well as the cleanliness put this rental far beyond anything else in the area. I am glad that Loretta continues to share her beautiful place on the river with the world. Thanks again Loretta for another great weekend in St. Marys!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Loretta's place. The location was great for taking the ferry to Cumberland Island, just a few blocks away. The property was beautiful and felt very peaceful and secluded. The check-in process was easy and the room was super clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend her place if you are planning a trip to that area.

The room did not have a TV. The room did not have a microwave. The dorm frig makes a noise so loud we had to shut the door to try and sleep. The bed is very very hard and uncomfortable. My wife slept in the bathtub on blankets and I slept on an inflatable mattress I placed on top of the bed mattress. The room's HVAC unit would not cool the space until well after dark. It's 1/2 ton to small. It was 80 inside when we arrived and she knew we were coming. The door to the garage will not lock to keep people out. Someone could easily be waiting on you inside once you exit the steps from the room. The only door you can lock has a 1/2 inch space all the way around it. Easily able for anyone to break in when locked. The door to the balcony doesn't have blinds or curtains. Worth maybe $25.00 a night if you can sleep hot. Worst rip off I've every paid for and we travel a lot.

We booked this rental, on a split second decision, to getaway on an extended weekend in St Marys. We did a quick search, we liked what we saw...... and just booked it. We couldn't have made a better choice. This place is a real gem.It's secluded and very private...... but still, literally right next to the best restaurant ..... possibly in the whole State?The marina and " downtown " St Marys is just a quick, easy walk away. Everything of interest in the area is within striking distance of this place......Cumberland Island, Crooked river State park, Kings bay Submarine base, Jacksonville. The room is spacious, the garage below kept our bikes secure and the balcony was breezy and protected from the rain. There isn't much of a view from the balcony because of an oak and palm tree blocking the view....... but we only sat out there at night anyways, so it's not like it matters. The fact that there is no kitchen was irrelevant....... the mini fridge and coffee maker handled most needs. We brought our Yeti cooler and a toaster for breakfast toast We came for the seafood anyways........ and had no need to cook ourselves.If you are wanting to getaway from it all, yet be in the middle of everything there is to do....... this is your place.
