Best view in St. Marys.

My wife and I stayed here in the summer for an extended stay and fell in love with it. Don was an amazing host, anything you needed, he was right there and ready to help. I highly recommend the Captains Quarters to anyone looking for a beautiful relaxing stay in St. Marys, that's walking distance to all of the downtown historic areas.

Beautiful St Mary’s

This property is a gem with every amenity. It is located on a historic property in a stunning location with a beautiful view over the nearby marshes from the front porch. We walked our dog multiple times a day through the historic neighborhood. Our hosts were lovely and very helpful too.

Peaceful Sunrise

The host was most accommodating and informative as well as very friendly. This was a prefect location to catch the ferry to Cumberland Island or to go for a stroll in charming downtown St. Mary’s. Centrally located to points of interest like Fort Clinch and Amelia Island. Sunrise with coffee overlooking the beautiful marsh was everything we could ask for.

Wonderful in St Marys, GA

We spent the month of January in the Captains Quarters. We were more than satisfied with our home away from home. The owner, Don Pierce was interesting to spend time with and was very helpful during our stay. The cottage was clean, very well decorated with a beautiful view of the wetlands of the St Marys river, Cumberland Island and Fernadino Beach across the river. We can't wait to return next year.

Wonderful stay

My husband and I spent a lovely month at this VRBO. Don the owner is a great host, always available if need be. Though we had no issues to report. The apartment is beautiful, perfect for the two of us. It provided all the amenities, DISH tv and comfortable furniture and bedding. It is only 2 blocks from historic St Marys which added to the attraction of this property.

The place to stay in St. Marys

We were very happy with our stay at this property in St. Marys. The rooms were sparkling clean, nicely decorated and there was plenty of space. As others mentioned, the sunrises were beautiful. The location was safe and only about a 5 minute walk to downtown shops, restaurants and the waterfront. We had a couple of very nice dinners at the Riverside Café. Don was a wonderful host. He gave us a little tour of the town and even brought us muffins!

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful

My wife and I stayed here while visiting our daughter at Kings Bay naval base. It was a wonderful place. Very clean, great view, well decorated, great location. My wife is very sensitive to smells and this placed had none. Location is easy walking distance to waterfront old town St Marys with restraints, bars, and stores. Great small town atmosphere with short drive to major stores. Host was friendly and always available. Thank you, Don, for a wonderful place.
