Important update for full transparency.

12 years ago, my wife and I acquired five Vrbo properties. Beginning maybe three years ago we sold four of the five properties. We now have one remaining, the Green House Cottage.

Over the past 12 years, we have aged and are no longer spring chickens
With this in mind, we have recently decided to list the property for sale. How does this affect your existing reservation or planned reservation First, my contract with my realtor statesthat prospective buyers visiting the property will be ABSOLUTELY by appointment only. These appointments will be scheduled when the property is vacant. A FOR SALE sign will be placed on the entrance to the property. Most real estate sales take time. I will update you if the sale becomes pending. At that point I’ll know when the closing will be and I can contact you as to how this will affect your stay.
There are many wonderful VRBO properties in beautiful St. Marys. By now you probably have checked out the many vacation properties listed on the St. Marys VRBO site. Here are a few things that set our property apart from other local properties.

- Value – With 2 private bedrooms and a large family room, couples or families can vacation at a very affordable price.
- Pet Friendly – Dogs/pups are welcome. There is a one-time $25 fee per dog. . This excludes ADA Compliant Service Dogs. Two (2) dog limit. Please note only dogs are allowed (no cats or other pets).
- More Value - With a fully equipped kitchen and outdoor grill you can choose to “dine in” with your family and friends perhaps making your vacation more affordable.

The quaintness of historic downtown St. Marys surrounds you when you stay at Green House Cottage. The waterfront is only a few blocks away with a peaceful waterfront park. Restaurants and coffee shops are nearby as well. Enjoy walks down streets that date back to the 1700's. On Saturday mornings, stroll down to the waterfront between 9 AM and 1 PM and buy goodies at the outdoor market. On certain holidays, come enjoy local festival at its best. A ferry ride to beautiful Cumberland Island is both picturesque and educational. Tickets can be purchased at the waterfront. Be sure to make you reservations well before you arrive. Here is the Internet site you can visit http://www.nps.gov/cuis/index.htm
And, if you are bringing your boat you will find two launching ramps nearby and ample on-site parking at Green House Cottage.

You will have the comforts of home right at your fingertips at Greenhouse Cottage. Roomy living area and kitchen are centrally located inside the Cottage, with two small/cozy bedrooms off to each side of the living area. Wireless internet, 46 HD TV and Blu Ray DVD,

Kitchen is well equipped with free-standing stove/microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. All your cooking needs are provided, including cookware, serve ware, dishes and flatware and a gas grill. Mr. Coffee maker and Kuerig and blender are also provided. Stackable washer/dryer.

The living area has comfortable seating with HD flat screen television. All floors are ceramic tiled. A bedroom located at the front of the house has two twin beds, while the back bedroom has a pillow top queen bed. The bathroom is equipped with a small apartment size shower only.
As you venture out the rear door to the Cottage, you will find an enclosed courtyard with deck and walkway. Enjoy your morning coffee while relaxing in the private outdoor area, or maybe a nice meal and a little sun as well. And, if your four-legged friend joins you he or she will enjoy a secure fully fenced environment.
-
Green House Cottage is a place you will want to visit again and again. We look forward to seeing you soon.

    The cottage had everything we needed, including sheets to cover the furniture, should the dogs decide to jump up on the couch! Nice touch. Poop bags are available outside if you forget your's before you go out.Outdoor furniture is ready to be replaced. Neighborhood was very nice with pleasant people. Nice area to walk, there are several small shops and eateries to visit. Most places are dog friendly here. Parking is right outside the entrance, making unpacking and packing very easy. The host was responsive and pleasant, making for a most enjoyable stay!

    We had a great time. Everything was within a short walk and very peaceful. One thing I would recommend is, if you are predominantly water drinkers like we are, bring/buy gallon jugs of water. We found that the water from the tap didn’t really agree with us.

    The Green Cottage is the absolute BEST place to stay in St Marys! It is amazing all the items you might want or need are there! Tom thought of everything to make your stay relaxing and worry-free. He even provided toys for your pup to entertain herself for hours! As a dog lover that means a lot to me. I love the layout of the cottage with the foyer you can close off so children (or fur babies) can stay safely inside. My husband loves the parking convenience right in front of the main door with no trees overhead. We walked down to the river daily and loved the quaintness of the city of St Marys. The selection of restaurants is wonderful! If you book The Green Cottage you will not be disappointed! I give it a 10/10! The host is the best!

    We were very pleased with our stay. The house had all we needed and being an organizer I was super appreciative of all the instructions. I can't tell you how many rentals we have been in that we needed a class to know how to operate the remote. Everything you could need was in walking distance. The town is so quiet and the people are very friendly. I recommend eating at Local Dockside.

The beds are comfortable and the exterior fenced in area is perfect for my little dachshund. Bikes are provided to explore the area. The layout of the cottage was well thought out! I would be remiss if i didnt mention how much my hubby appreciates the ample parking out front with no overhanging trees! I highly recommend The Green Cottage!

    My husband and I traveled to St. Marys for a few nights with our 2 dogs. Communication with Tom was superb! He made it all go smoothly and not even 1 hiccup. The home is next door to a day care which was no problem, The only time we heard the children was on one of our walks and they wanted to pet the dogs through the fence. Also the home across the street has lots of cars/trucks but really only once while sitting under the umbrella in the side yard did i hear coming/going. This cottage looks to have been originally a business of some sort based on the layout. Access to the fenced side yard is in the master bedroom. The highlight of our trip was the use of the bicycles which we rode all around . We actually didn't get in our car once during our stay ; either walking or riding bikes everywhere. Lots of cute shops, restaurants and beautiful old churches. Overall a great stay.

    Stayed 2 nights for a visit to Cumberland Island. The house had everything we needed - comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, private yard with comfy chairs and an umbrella, and bonus bikes for leisurely rides around the neighborhood. The location was perfect - we walked to the ferry and to a great Mexican restaurant after a long, wonderful day on Cumberland. I didn't bring my dogs this trip but can tell the house would be great for dogs - privacy fence, easy to sweep floors, and quiet neighborhood with lots of walking options. Bedrooms are on opposite ends of the house for more privacy.

    We loved staying at Green Cottage. Located among shady oaks in a quiet neighborhood, the cottage was within a short walking distance to historic St Marys. Plenty of great eats and lots to do in the area, even if you choose not to take the ferry to Cumberland Island. The kitchen was well provisioned and the cottage had super comfortable beds. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. We traveled with our dogs, and found the location great for walks in the evening. We would definitely stay again! Thank you!

    The location of this VRBO is wonderful, it is well equipped and quite comfortable. Downtown is a short walk away from most sites. The river is beautiful. The submarine museum was a hit. We really enjoyed exploring the vintage/antique shops in St. Mary's. We were in town during the April 12, 2025 Plein Air Paint Out. There were many talented artists painting.throughout the town and it was fun to watch them at work. We had hoped to spend a day on Cumberland Island, but could not get reservations on the day that we planned, so be sure to book in advance if you want to go to the island.

    We loved the Little Green Cottage. It was perfectly located within walking distance to everything. Tom was great to answer all our questions and provide ample information. The cottage is historic, as is most of St Mary’s. This adds to the charm. The master bed and the shower are a bit small if you are larger people, but we found it to be adequate for our needs. St Mary’s has some of the nicest people we have met any where! Can’t wait to return

    Cute and quaint cottage within walking distance to the small town of St Marys. It was a perfect base for our day trip to Cumberland Island and the hosts were excellent at communication regarding check in, how our stay was going and check out. Regarding, St Marys be sure to take the ferry to Cumberland Island. The horses and ruins make a fantastic backdrop to a pristine island. Our two favorite restaurants were Firefly Cantina and Southern Riverwalk.
