Very clean and well stocked

This was a great place for us. Our son is stationed at King’s Bay. Was close enough for him to stay with us and still work. Very clean place which I’m really picky about that. Well stocked with everything for cooking. Loved there was a crockpot. Only wished there was more bath towels. Otherwise great place to stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent getaway!

This was hands down one if the best rental experiences I've ever had. From the day I reserved the trip to the end of our stay, the rental group was in contact with us - checking in and making sure we had everything we needed. The duplex was new and clean and well stocked. There was plenty of room for parking (including our 21 foot boat) and the boat ramp was within walking distance. We will definitely be back!!

Beautiful Country

The house was perfect, just as pictured, and we enjoyed our stay. It’s an easy walk to the state park and fabulous walking along the river in the park. We also enjoyed downtown St Mary’s. I didn’t feel real good about the management. We drove five hours from St. Petersburg not knowing if we would really have a place to stay, but they did send the door code right at 4:00 PM as promised. I also thought the fees were higher than usual.
Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 19 Sept 2023
I am so glad we took the time to call you to get a better understanding regarding your management comment, Mary. As we discussed, we encourage our guests to call us anytime with questions or concerns either before or during their stay. We are so sorry that not getting the door code days before your arrival caused you to have any doubt about our management or services. However, there are many occasions when our cleaners are still in the rental up until 4p getting it ready with supplies & ensuring everything is in place for our guests' stay. Our phone number - which folks can either call or text - is provided in all our communication and of course on our website. We try to be as accessible as possible and probably over-communicate to our arriving guests with information about the area you'll be staying, the accommodations, and arrival instructions. Our goal is to make your experience with us a great one from the time of booking until after you depart. Again, thank you for chatting with me on the phone and for the 5-Star review!

Beautiful Home

Our family rented out both sides of this beautiful duplex. There is a door connecting the 2 sides that can be opened up for maximum space or closed for privacy. This worked beautifully out for our two families. The home was immaculate and generously stocked with all the necessities! The king beds were cozy and the towels were so fluffy and soft. Some of us walked down to the rocks and boat ramp to catch crabs and watch the boats come back with their daily catch. And the sunrises were beautiful as seen through the large front windows.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us Marissa! We're thrilled that both sides of the duplex worked out perfectly for your two families. The option to connect the doors for maximum space or close them for privacy is a great feature. We're glad you found the home immaculate and well-stocked with all the necessities, making your stay comfortable. It sounds like you had a great time exploring the area. Catching crabs and watching the boats return with their daily catch must have been a memorable experience. We're delighted that you enjoyed the cozy king beds and the fluffy, soft towels. Thank you for choosing our company to host your family getaway. We'd love to host you again if you return to St. Marys in the future. Stacie - Stay Better Vacations

Great Place / Beware of Double Booking Fees!

We had a great stay & experience. Only to find out weeks later that I was charged 2 separate booking fees. One through the management company & one through VRBO. Probably an oversight on my end, but want to forewarn anyone as this was a costly mistake & unnecessary / redundant charges.
Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2021

Thank you for the review Cullen and so glad you enjoyed your stay. The 2 charges you are referring to are clearly shown prior to finalizing your booking and are shown under the price details. VRBO does charge a guest fee for booking on their platform. Thank you again for the review and we hope you will visit again!
