Great stay

I stayed here with my husband and I really enjoyed the house. The kitchen had everything you’d need and more. The neighbors were friendly and kept to themselves. The town is in walking distance and has a good amount of bars and restaurants. Overall it was a nice location and great for winding down/relaxing.

Cute cottage

We stayed several nights while exploring the area for possible retirement option. It was a quick trip to Amelia Island and to Jekyll Island. Nice location close to the Harbor area that we walked to. The cottage was cute; looks like recently renovated and pleasantly decorated. The bed was comfortable and there was TV access to watch the morning news. I would recommend and stay there again when in the area.

Girls weekend

The house and decor are precious! The night scene is fun with live music in multiple places and an arcade/pool hall. The restaurants offer crowd pleaser meals with lots of fried options and house wines. I am a self admitted foodie and a bit tough to please. We drove into Fernandina for a beach day (40 minutes) and loved the town, shopping, and much better cuisine and wine options.

Cozy Home in St Marys

Our family enjoyed a 10 day stay in St Marys. We loved the area and peacefulness. We walked and biked around the neighborhood and to downtown for dinner and ice cream. Convenient for Cumberland Island ferry. We visited Jekyll Island and Fernandina Beach several times. The house was perfect and had plenty of linens. The kitchen was well-stocked for making meals that we enjoyed on the patio. Overdue for a deep clean, but there is a Dyson available. Overall, our experience at this quaint house exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil getaway in St. Marys.

The home was very accommodating; everything Mark advertised. A welcoming living room, large kitchen, and THE BEST MATTRESSES AND PILLOWS we have slept on in a rental property. You know the owner cares when they put your comfort first. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to spend in the beautiful outdoor area. Maybe next time. We would definitely return. Highly recommended.

The house was wonderful. Only suggestion I have would be to write down directions for television as we were unable to watch anything. Thank goodness we are both avid readers and found the book store in town. Will be back as we were unable to go to Cumberland Island due to government shutdown. Thank you

Super Clean

Dreamwood Cottage is an adorable small house in a fantastic location. It is super clean and well furnished. The beds are very comfortable, and the kitchen has everything you need. The patio is private and was perfect for my little dog. It is quiet and peaceful and only a five-minute drive to the harbor. Looking forward to another visit.

Perfect hub for short day trips.

We live north of St.Mary's but wanted to take a few trips into the Okefenokee to kayak, and to Cumberland. This location worked out beautifully for our needs. St. Mary's is incredibly quiet, something we hadn't thought of but welcomed with open arms.

Comfy house and walking distance to historic St. Marys

Son stationed at Kings Bay so we wanted to rent a place where he and his wife could stay with us and feel like they were on vacation too. Just enough space for the 4 of us. We loved the outdoor space and sat outside a lot! Kitchen fully stocked. Close to Fernandina beach and Jekyll island - beached and explored both. Owner very responsive, even though he was on vacation too! Would definitely stay here again.

Home away from home

This beautiful cottage was the perfect getaway for our family. It felt very much like home and was very welcoming. We enjoyed walks to the downtown area and also enjoy the quiet peacefulness of the neighborhood in the evenings. I would highly recommend this VRBO!
