Wen enjoyed out stay the property had great vies and was great for the Two of us and our One year old golden retriever. A lot of wildlife to keep the dog always on high alert. We were able to walk to the town center and waterfront. Don the property manager was helpful and was willing to give history of the property.

Great property. Clean and comfy. Definitely would stay here again.

Wonderful cottage on the marsh. Beautiful sunrise and within walking distance to downtown. Grounds we’re immaculate and the hosts were wonderful. We will be back. Brian and Miki

Beautiful place filled with antiques and all the supplies for cooking. The area is fantastic with not more than an hour drive from all the barrier islands and the Okeefenokee Swamp and Wildlife preserve.. Cumberland island visit is a must! Cottage is set on the marsh and walking distance to town and restaurants. We had a great vacation!

This cottage is well equipped, much more tastefully furnished and decorated than most rentals, quiet, & very well located; the grounds of the property are lovely and well maintained. For a couple, the cottage is clearly the best place to stay in St. Marys or the surrounding area.

Our stay was wonderful. The property is set off the road and overlooks the marshes. The sunrises were indescribably beautiful and the landscaping around the property was impeccable. Our studio was very comfortable. It is on a shared property, but we never felt we lacked privacy. The way the cottage sits all windows face an open view.Our host, Don, was gracious and hospitable. Melody and Jaune who caretake and manage the rental checked to see we were enjoying ourselves but we were allowed plenty of space and solitude.I would recommend this property to any family and friends that may visit St. Mary’s. The town was pleasant to walk with our dogs, the streets shaded by huge oaks and lined by pretty houses.There are several restaurants in town within walking distance but we made use of our fully equipped kitchen almost exclusively. Overall we had an excellent time.We hope to visit again!

This is a pretty place, but there is no privacy! The cottage is nice but full of knickknacks. There is very little available space , and the TV is small and very far away from the sofa.

We really enjoyed the property. It's a beautiful, somewhat secluded spot with a great view of the marsh and ICW. The cottage was perfect for two people and very well equipped. We met the owner when we arrived and he showed us around. He's a very personable gentleman who we enjoyed meeting. St Marys is a small town on the ICW with interesting history. Several good restaurants and shops. Its not very commercialized which makes it more appealing to us. The boat parade Saturday night was enjoyable as was the tree lighting in the park. We plan to go back when we can stay longer and take the ferry to Cumberland Island. Can't think of anything we didn't like about the cottage or the property in general. We also drove to Amelia Island (30 minutes) to the Charles Dickens Christmas deal. It was great and we'll go back to that.

Mr. Don was very accommodating. Everything was in top condition. Would definitely stay at this property again!

This cottage was perfect for my stay. It was cozy, secluded, but walking distance from downtown. I woke up to an uninterrupted sunrise view of the marsh and intercoastal. At night, you can marvel at the lights over at Fernandina across the river. The process to check in and check out was super easy. The place is tidy and just outright comfortable. The bed was super comfortable and much needed after each day of exploring downtown and traveling for work. The caretakers were awesome and the folks that stayed in the main house were also super pleasant. Loved it here. Hated having to leave to go back to work!

Cozy and comfortable cottage! We had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. The cottage was within walking distance to the Cumberland Island ferry and local restaurants. Thanks for your hospitality and the delicious muffins that were waiting for us when we arrived. Everything was perfect!!

We were welcomed from the start of our stay to the end. Don and melody, met us and toured us this beautiful historic property. The commissary cottage is completely private and self contained. It felt very clean and safe. I hope to make this a yearly retreat! Thank you

Wife and I stayed at Don’s place the commissary 7/22-26. Beautiful little cottage facing the Georgia marshes and right across from Cumberland island. Really enjoyed our time getting to know this corner of Georgia better with its history and charm and loved the quiet surroundings as well. Highly recommended and hope to get back soon!

This was our first trip to St Mary’s, and we were not disappointed at all. Sitting on the porch was so peaceful & relaxing. The Cottage is very clean, and the kitchen is well stocked with anything you should need. It was a pleasure meeting Donald, and we enjoyed the blueberry muffins. Staying at the Commissary Cottage was a great decision, and we look forward to our next visit.

My husband and I stayed here for a long 4th of July weekend. The cottage was perfect--comfortably decorated, clean and inviting. The property was outstanding with beautiful landscaping and amazing views. Don was a great host. He greeted us soon upon arrival and made himself available as needed throughout our stay. We loved St. Mary's and Cumberland Island and certainly hope to come back and will definitely try to book with Don again when we do.

We enjoyed our quiet stay at the Commissary Cottage! It was clean, well appointed, and Don was a gracious host. They view of the marsh from the back of the cottage and deck is so relaxing. St. Mary's is a quiet sleepy town with lots to see. We will definitely return!

A wonderful experience with a great host! The setting was perfect for me to propose to my girlfriend watching the sun set over the marsh. The cottage was nicely decorated and very cozy. We loved being walking distance to downtown St Mary's... the fresh blueberry muffins from Don was the cherry on top of a great experience! Would love to stay again!

This is the best place to stay in St. Mary’s, Georgia. It was perfectly clean, nicely decorated, just the right size, and it was certainly a bargain for the price we paid. So close to the Cumberland Ferry and visiting the lovely downtown. The owner is fantastic and was extremely nice to us - even giving us a ride in his golf cart. We went to Cumberland Island and attend a Memorial Day Service at the Oak Grove Cemetery. We would definitely stay there again!

We have stayed there before and really liked it so we booked it again. They have gone up on their prices though. Still a great little cottage and walking distance to town.

Everything about the property was 1st rate. Upon arrival our host gave us a tour of the property which was very interesting and informative. If you are looking for a place to unwind this is perfect.

Lovely cottage in a lovely location. Unique, clean, quiet, safe.

From the moment you drive onto the property life slows down. The grounds are like a little garden of Eden. Then you open the door to the Cottage and you enter a peaceful environment. It is beautifully decorated. The kitchen is well stocked with everything one would need, from preparing a meal to pouring a glass of wine. Sitting on the front deck, overlooking the marsh, green lawn and colorful flowers is a tranquil time. The host, Don, is such a thoughtful and gracious person. It was a pleasure getting to spend some time visiting with him. Definitely our place of choice should we return some day to St. Marys.

This house was comfortable and clean. It's not large, but there was plenty space for the two of us. It's set up with thought to what rental users might need. The kitchen had everything we needed. The weather was lovely so we spent a good amount of time just lazing on the porch or bird watching from the lounge chairs in the back. (lots of birds flying by, if you're into that--egrets, herons, spoonbills, wood storks, and there's a resident pair of ospreys.) There's a kayak ramp just a few blocks away. This is a good location if you want quiet, but also enjoy strolling into town (just a few blocks) for dinner. Perfect for us!
