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!

We came to St. Mary’s to be close to family while my daughter underwent surgery, and I stayed here with my granddaughters during that time. From the moment we arrived, this home felt like a true refuge. It is, without question, the best STR I’ve ever booked. The beautiful artwork, thoughtful personal touches, wonderful and tasteful setup, fun, and beachy décor created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The neighborhood is peaceful and inviting, and the hosts were absolutely exceptional. This home provided exactly what our family needed during an important and emotional time, and we are deeply grateful for the care and intention the hosts have poured into every detail.This review is not complete unless I mention that it was Christmas time during our stay. And the waterfront area was beautiful and decorated for the holiday! The children and I walked around the parade of trees down at the waterfront, took family pictures at the giant tree, and played at the playground. To say St. Mary’s and this listing are hidden gems, would be an understatement.If you and your family are considering this space to rent during your stay in St. Mary’s, GO AHEAD AND BOOK IT! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

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.

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!

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.

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!
