About this property

The Goodbread House sits in the center of the quaint waterfront village of St. Marys, Georgia, America’s second oldest city, and your gateway to Cumberland Island National Seashore. You will be just steps away from shopping, restaurants, and museums.

The Sandiford-Goodbread House was built in 1870 by Samuel Burns, who sold it to Ralph Sandiford, who in turn sold it to steamboat captain Walton Goodbread in 1901. The Goodbread (Gutbrodt) family had come to Philadelphia from Germany in 1731. Descendants of Phillip Goodbread Sr. migrated south during the war, eventually settling in Camden County. They fought in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, and served in the Confederate Army in the Civil War. In 1918, Kate Brandon Bagwell and her sisters, Sallie, Semora, and Ethel, bought The Goodbread House to house the overflow of the Riverview Hotel, a neighboring Inn just steps from The Goodbread House formerly run by Jerry Brandon and his wife, Gaila, former proprietors of The Goodbread House. More recently, The Goodbread House served as Dixon’s Boarding House, serving family-style lunch and dinner to locals and visitors alike. It was renovated in the early 1980s, and today retains the charm of its original 1870s architecture.

The Goodbread House is perfect for family reunions or any other event such as corporate retreats, wedding venues, and weekend getaways with friends. Each of the five (5) bedrooms has its own private onsite full bathroom with both tubs and showers. The kitchen is equipped with everything necessary to prepare amazing meals for a crowd! The Owner/Host does not share living area, kitchen or common space areas with the Guest renting the home.

As you enjoy your beverage of choice, take in the stunning spacious front porch or the picturesque view from the upstairs veranda. Making memories is the order of the day as the past is calling. Come and feel the peace of a more tranquil time and the friendliness of a community.

**Downtown Saint Marys is a golf cart community and we will have one available for your use.

You may leave Saint Marys, but Saint Marys will never leave you!
