This adorable little house was comfortable, super clean and stocked with everything we could need! The host even left waste bags for our dogs and a basket full of snacks and coffee pods. Bathroom was stocked with essentials and all the outdoor/ beach gear you could need was in property as well. It was a truly great stay in a magical little town!

Great property and near many beaches and the inter-coastal water. Tina was very responsive and all was ready for us to check in and unpack. Great back patio and back yard is huge with many seats. Well stocked kitchen with all amenities. The house had all the things one could want. Literally nothing we needed. Quiet area and walking for eats and coffee. Very comfortable space to relax after a day at the beach. I would highly recommend.

Our host kept in contact periodically which was appreciated but we didn't have any problems. I did call about the thermostat as some chilly weather was expected but it was set right away & we were "toasty" the rest of our visit. The house was beautiful inside & had everything we needed & more. My husband loved it & wants to stay again when we are in the area.

House very user friendly, plenty of plug-ins for all of our electronic devices, beautifully decorated with coastal decor, two sitting areas with a tv in each, fenced yard-great for letting pets safely roam, plenty of parking for boat and up to three vehicles and not far from some great restaurants. Easy access to several boat landings and great bait shop within a block or two, also several really nice antique stores not far away in town. Beautiful park with lots of swings facing the water to be able to just take in the ambulance of the coast. A great place to stay and relax and unwind.

My husband and I really enjoyed staying in this cute coastal cottage! Its location can’t be beat, it’s walkable to so many things to do in st Mary’s. Tina has done a good job providing you with everything you need to feel right at home. She left a few snacks for us, which was much appreciated upon arrival! Tina provides a Welcome book with so much information about the area and restaurants, which is really helpful. The neighborhood is nice and was a great place to walk with our dog. The fenced in yard was a definite plus! The water pressure in the showers are amazing! Everything was a clean and inviting. Highly recommend staying here.

We spent a delightful 4 nights at Coastal Retreat. The river, shops & plenty of restaurants were all within walking distance. Coastal Delight was the the most well stocked accommodation I have experienced. Shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, hand soap, dish soap, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, flour, spices, coffee pods, variety of chips & whatever food was in the cabinets were available. Having the use of 4-5 bikes, kayaks, & a variety of outside & board games were an added bonus. We didn't bring our dogs, but Coastal Retreat would be an easy place to do so in the future. A huge fenced yard, dog dishes & toys & even a cage were provided. No need to fill up your car with all these necessary extras. Tina's communication was spot on, very friendly & available for any concerns we may have had. Can't wait to stay there in the again!

This was then perfect end to our summer. The house was exactly as described. The area was peaceful and relaxing. We went bike riding, exploring, played some games, and just sat out back to read. This was ana amazing vacation, and the host made everything so smooth for us. I can definitely see coming back again!
