Charming apartment
Beautiful property, well maintained and well equipped. On check in, property owner couldn't accept payment, had a slight delay in reaching the correct vrbo office to pay balance due. Very easy once I got the right office. Couldn't operate TV, instructions weren't correct, owner came over and fixed it. Very friendly owner, gave lots of info about the community.

Beautiful place, quaint, quiet & magical
If we could give it a 20 we would. We loved this apt. it was very clean, comfortable (the bed too) & very well stocked. The owners were very nice & they really thought of everything one may need when staying away from home. The attention to details was beyond expectations. Moreover, being able to borrow beach chairs & Umbrella was great and although we didn't use the golf cart or bikes, it was a nice touch to include all of that with the rental. We were also very impressed with the property's magical garden, it was so tranquil and beautiful. We were able to enjoy seating in the private patio overlooking all the beautiful flowers & trees. It was also a great location 2 min. from downtown and Cumberland Island Ferry & 45 Minutes from Fernandina Beach & Ameila Island, FL. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place. The best vrbn we have ever been to, hands down. We honestly loved it. Thank you for having us!

We had a very relaxing stay at Pelicans Perch! We have stayed at this apartment before and loved it then. Still loved it now! It was clean, relaxing, beautiful gardens, very nice bathroom essentials. In fact, I just ordered the shampoo and shower soap. Very luxurious! Wendy and Michael are great hosts, they’re available but , in no way intrusive.

A Real Gem !!
“Some people look for a beautiful place, others make a place beautiful.” **************************************** The Pelican Perch definitely exceeded our expectations. The apartment was so cozy and comfortable that we felt at home immediately. The apt was spacious enough that we never felt cramped during our 6 week stay. We could not believe how quiet the neighbour is. Sitting outside on the comfortable chairs, reading a book, enjoying a glass of wine while listening to the birds and being surrounded by beautiful landscaping could not have been more relaxing. Wendy and Michael are wonderful hosts. They are so friendly and personable and made us feel very much at home. We will definitely be returning next year for a month. Anyone choosing the Pelican Perch will not be disappointed.

The apartment was spotless with everything that you need for a comfortable stay. Very quiet location and the grounds are a gardener's delight - very beautiful! We did not get to meet Mike and Wendy as they were called out of town, but we hope to stay again in the future as we continue to look for our retirement home. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed!

This is a great place to stay. St Marys isn't for people looking for a place like South Beach Miami. It is a small slow paced town. If you are looking for a clean quiet place to stay in a historic town on the water you can't beat Pelican's Perch.

We went to St. Mary’s to take the ferry over to Cumberland Island so we booked this adorable, super clean with all the extras cottage. Everything was perfect and they have a beautiful garden area you can enjoy too as well as a work out center. My husband states he thought it was one of the best and cleanest places we’ve ever stayed in. Thank you Wendy for the use of this beautiful property as well as golf cart .

The best cottage in Saint Mary's!
My husband and I stayed a couple of nights in this beautiful cottage. It is so neat and clean. Everything in the pictures of this place is accurate, but it is so much more beautiful in person! The hosts, Mike and Wendy are super! A golf cart was included in our stay. It was a nice touch to our stay. We drove it down to the riverwalk and had a nice evening. We didn't want to leave, as it was our paradise away from daily life at home. We will be sure to come back to this same property. It was a comfortable home away from home. I highly recommend this place to others!
