Stunning sunsets, private dock, paddel board, kayaks, and large yard. Come relax

This exclusive 3 bedroom 2 bath waterfront home offers privacy and beauty on the North River (just off of the Saint Marys River). Watch as the sailboat yachts and shrimp boats go by. From the private dock there is easy access by boat to CUMBERLAND Island beaches and the Atlantic Ocean. You can also kayak or fish right from the dock. Amazing Sunsets! Catch your dinner from the private dock. You can bring your own boat (public boat ramp is real close). Fenced back yard. Large deck over a screen porch. Additional bedrooms upstairs. TV in each bedroom except kids room. Unfinished basement/garage. Local excursions may include visiting: Cumberland Island by ferry, Historic Saint Marys (shops and water front), seafood restaurants, Amelia Island beach (20 miles) Okefenokee Swamp (20 miles), Jekyll Island (30 miles) and MORE! Enjoy a walk or bike ride in the neighborhood or to the nearby Saint Marys boat yard. HOPE to see you soon!

Comfortable place to enjoy St Mary’s GA. From coffee on the deck to drinks, dinner, and stunning sunsets on the dock, to relaxing paddle boarding/kayaking on the chill North River this place fit the bill!

Spectacular View
This home is clean and cozy. The river view is amazing, and there are plenty of areas to sit and enjoy the sunrise, sunset, and everything in between. We were very comfortable, and felt safe in the neighborhood. The refrigerator doesn’t have an ice maker, but there are ice trays and plenty of room for bagged ice. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer!!

Great location, nice ammenities, very responsive, deck and stairs had wood rot
Tiffany was great, very responsive and easy to access. Took care of any immediate needs and questions, thank you. Swapped out bikes that were not working. Kayaks were in good shape with all necessary gear. Dock was great and recently replaced The main negative was that the back deck had alot of wood rot and exposed nails. Stairs and railing were in bad shape, both the back deck and front stairs

St. Mary’s River House
Wonderful stay with a few shortcomings. No instructions for operating tv. Screens were missing in the downstairs porch. We could not use the downstairs porch due to biting insects. The front steps to the house need some repair. We used the back steps because the front steps lean. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the fire pit and dock.

Great house with phenomenal views
We stayed for 10 days over the holidays. House was very clean with all the necessary items to enjoy the holidays. Fishing was great and the local restaurants were very good with friendly folks. Very nice comfortable area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. Convenient to have the boat right there to jump on and fish or fish from the dock.

The location is great. We happened to be there during some bad weather, but the kayaking and paddle boarding would have been a good adventure. The sunsets are unreal. The house was large enough for our group and very clean. We enjoyed ourselves.

Midwinter escape
Great location, beautiful neighborhood, easy to get to, quiet and peaceful, stunning sunsets. Loved the live oaks and Spanish moss! Perfect for a midwinter escape for two retired couples to renew friendships and enjoy the local area. Especially enjoyed the day trip to Cumberland Island. Will definitely stay again.

Enchanting Waterfront Home
This home is a gem. We spent four nights exploring Cumberland Island, Fernandina Beach, and St Mary's for a child's birthday weekend. Even if the home was short on small necessities (bath soap, cooking oil, standard coffee maker), it is well equipped on large ticket items like bicycles, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, TVs with streaming apps, dishwasher, Keurig machine, strong and reliable AC, icemaker, and the like. The owners generously open their home to guests and invite exploration of the beauty of the Georgia low country. We had an enchanting time and are grateful to have had such a lovely place to stay. Thank you!
