Our family had a wonderful stay at Pelican’s Perch! We will definitely be back! The hosts were responsive, kind and helpful! The property was lovely and private. The kitchen was well-equipped and we loved our evening golf-cart rides! This is a must-stay location for the St Mary’s area!
Loved our stay and so convenient with easy access to downtown St Mary’s. The use of the golf cart is a real plus !!

Beautiful apartment! Everything a traveler would want or need. We booked thru VRBO and had issues w owner not knowing or being notified we booked the apartment for two nights. Luckily Mike was outside when we pulled in-he had no idea we were coming. Unfortunately the golf cart was broken and we couldn’t use it.
We had a wonderful stay at The Pelican’s Perch! It is absolutely adorable and spacious for a one-bedroom place. We didn’t cook, but everything is there if you need to. There are extra surceys all around such as the sample local soap in the bathroom, the chocolates on the side table, and the bowl of snacks on the kitchen bar. Everything was clearly labeled, too. The bed was quite comfortable, and use of the golf cart was such a nice touch as well. So glad we stumbled upon St. Marys, and it was great to meet Wendy and Mike! Oh, and the food at the Harbor restaurant was really good. And if you’re a breakfast person, do not miss out on trying Steffens in Kingsland! It’s an old diner with amazing home-cooked food.

This was one of the best locations we have ever stayed at! Owners are easy to work with and the property was fantastic!
Absolutely charming place to stay in a lovely town
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.
It was a wonderful place to stay!! Very clean, nice neighborhood, friendly owners, and close to town. We would stay there again and highly recommend it!

Everything about this place was wonderful. Thank you so much.
The pelican perch was super cozy. Had everything we needed. The golf cart was a bonus for heading down for sunset every evening at the waterfront and for checking out with town.

My sister and I stayed at this property for a short weekend trip before her senior year, and we absolutely loved it!
It was a gorgeous property, super clean, and the owners were very generous with amenities. We will definitely be back for a longer stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this well equipped and very comfortable unit. We had everything we needed,hosts were very friendly and we had fun using the golf cart to zip into town. We have used vrbo for years and this was the best we have had. Would highly recommend.
This rental was in a great location, and the property itself was beautiful. It was clean, quiet, comfortable, and checked off all of the boxes of a great rental. We would stay here again if we were back in the area.
Beautiful area! Close to many beaches and wonderful hosts! A very relaxing stay. The cottage was decorated with many fun pictures of famous places in St. Mary's. Within walking distance to the waterfront.
Wendy and Michael are excellent host. We stayed at Pelican Perch three times. Their place is beautiful, it has everything you need, and is super clean.
Needed 2 to3 days to just get away and treat ourselves to eating out etc. It was very enjoyable and Michael and Wendy were great host. Will definitely be back.
Over the garage bungalow was quiet and comfortable. Attention to detail everywhere you looked. Owners were available for any questions. Will stay here again!
The location was perfect. It was nice and quiet. We came here to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city & to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was SO clean. We loved using the golf cart to buzz around town. There were so many great restaurants to try! We loved the little local bookstore. Everyone we encountered was so kind.
We enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were wonderful. We loved the beach themed decor and the well appointed kitchen. The hosts Wendy and Michael were friendly and easy going. We plan on going back hopefully next year.
