Best of the best!

The location is awesome for visiting St Mary’s and Cumberland Island area. The property was even better than described, spotlessly clean, well stocked and very comfortable. The grounds are a beautiful garden with lots of flowering local plants and the birds and bees they attract. The outdoor area is also top notch with nice patio area and gas grill. Hosts were very friendly and available if needed. Overall one of the best VRBO locations we have ever rented and we have been to many great locations 5 stars plus!

My husband and I came for relaxation. We have stayed here, I think 4 or more times. It is a lovely apartment, well stocked with all of the necessities. Wendy and Michael are on hand, if you should run into any problems.It’s is a second floor unit, but the stairs are a very easy climb.

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.

Relaxation in St Mary

We had a very relaxing stay at Pelicans Perch! We have stayed at this apartment before and loved it then. Still loved it now! It was clean, relaxing, beautiful gardens, very nice bathroom essentials. In fact, I just ordered the shampoo and shower soap. Very luxurious! Wendy and Michael are great hosts, they’re available but , in no way intrusive.

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!

Cute Beachy Cottage

Truly exceeded our expectations. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the attention to detail in the decor created a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The checkin/checkout process of the property was outstanding, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience throughout the stay. Access to St. Mary’s was a breeze with the ability to use the golf cart! The crisp hotel style sheets added an extra touch of comfort. This charming cottage was a perfect stay.

Charming apartment

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.

The Epitome of Southern Charm and Hospitality

From the very first glimpse of this property until watching it fade in our rear view mirror this was one of the most amazing places we've ever stayed. The proprietors were the kindest and most gracious hosts one could ask for. And Pelican's Perch itself was like something out of Southern Living or Conde Naste. Spacious, clean, comfortable and with every imaginable amenity and modern convenience. We will be back to visit St. Marys many times and will always stop in to stay at the Perch.

Beautiful place, quaint, quiet & magical

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!
