Air conditioning was controlled on a room by room basis, however only one controller provided.Bathroom linens and supplies were basic in nature.Home was too far away to reasonably walk to ferry to Cumberland Island.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Twin Oaks Cottage! With historic St. Mary's and the Cumberland Island Ferry within walking distance, we would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone. Its location is central to visitors to Jekyll Island and Crooked River State Park, among many other nearby areas. The cottage is well-equipped, modern, cozy, and in a quiet neighborhood. Rooms are spacious. Open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, exquisite design.Wifi is excellent!Communication with the host was outstanding!It was a perfect getaway.

Doesn’t get much better than this!
What an adorable, comfortable, clean, spacious, and inviting cottage! Our family travels often and both my teenage sons said this is one of their favorite places we’ve stayed. The owner made check-in super easy and was available if we needed anything. The cottage is spotless and the decor is subtle beach vibes with a modern flare. (And the beds are super comfortable)! It’s a great location…close to downtown St. Marys. HIGHLY recommend this cottage!
