Catch your dinner from the private dock. You can bring your own boat (public boat ramp is real close). Fenced back yard. Large deck over a screen porch. Additional bedrooms upstairs. TV in each bedroom except kids room. Unfinished basement/garage. Local excursions may include visiting: Cumberland Island by ferry, Historic Saint Marys (shops and water front), seafood restaurants, Amelia Island beach (20 miles) Okefenokee Swamp (20 miles), Jekyll Island (30 miles) and MORE! Enjoy a walk or bike ride in the neighborhood or to the nearby Saint Marys boat yard. HOPE to see you soon!

Great house and great views with fishing!

This is our 2nd time staying at this home. We thoroughly enjoy the views and fishing from the boat or the dock. You can put your boat in just down the road and leave it at the protected dock and just jump in and go. Communication with Tiffany when needed is superior. We will be back again.

Great for boaters

Beautiful home in a beautiful setting with a very nice floating dock. Dock is suitable for boats up to 25 feet or so. Public ramp is about 10 minutes by car, 5 minutes by boat. Large kitchen, large bedrooms, huge deck with a beautiful view. We enjoyed a fire outside one chilly afternoon. One PSA for boaters: the streets near the house and the driveway are narrow and winding, and there isn't an easy turnaround at the end of the road. With an 18-foot skiff, it wasn't a problem, but with a larger boat, you might want to launch the boat first rather than towing it to the house. Overall, a great stay and we hope to be back.

Holiday Stay / Family Get-Away

Clean, comfortable, lots of room for our family (mom, dad, two college-age sons) to spread out. Quiet neighborhood and waterfront location. Great kitchen for cooking all our meals in. Good pick if St. Marys is your home base for a week and want to relax.
