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.
