The home was exactly what we needed! Very clean, comfy and cozy. Tina was very responsive. We really enjoyed the area and spending time with family. Definitely recommend!
This was the best place I have stayed absolutely spotless everything you could ever need when you stay away from home other than your clothes. Very dog friendly neighbors really nice just overall wonderful place I will definitely be staying here again. Mrs. Tina was a wonderful host.
Delightful and pleasant great accomodations for weekend stays and use of parks nearby and within walking distance of all amenities such as eateries, bookstores, and beach apparel. Wonderful location and churches loved the care and extras such as the welcome note, coffee, and sentiments.
Very clean house! Very comfortable beds and linens. Comfortable furnishings. Fully stocked kitchen. Bikes and kayaks available for you to use. Very cool live oak trees around the property. Walking distance to beautiful sunsets. Tina the owner, very cool person.
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.
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!
What a delight to stay in this lovely cottage! The cottage was so comfortable, and we had a great time there. Our Hostess was quick and helpful when we had questions.
The home was adorable, very clean and the host was the best communicator. She helped me understand current town workings and activities and was a great resource! Will definitely be booking again.
Wonderful cottage. Wonderful host. Tina took such care in creating a beautiful environment for our trip to St Mary’s. The home was filled with everything we needed. Tina responded quickly to any questions I had before and during our stay. I highly suggest staying here and we hope to return.
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.
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 came for our son's wedding. The location and set up for pets was perfect for us.Hill house became a gathering place. We created many beautiful memories with family and friends. It was an amazing weekend!We will definitely be back! Grand babies
