We loved it!

The location was perfect. It was nice and quiet. We came here to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city & to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was SO clean. We loved using the golf cart to buzz around town. There were so many great restaurants to try! We loved the little local bookstore. Everyone we encountered was so kind.

Best of the best!

The location is awesome for visiting St Mary’s and Cumberland Island area. The property was even better than described, spotlessly clean, well stocked and very comfortable. The grounds are a beautiful garden with lots of flowering local plants and the birds and bees they attract. The outdoor area is also top notch with nice patio area and gas grill. Hosts were very friendly and available if needed. Overall one of the best VRBO locations we have ever rented and we have been to many great locations 5 stars plus!

My husband and I came for relaxation. We have stayed here, I think 4 or more times. It is a lovely apartment, well stocked with all of the necessities. Wendy and Michael are on hand, if you should run into any problems.It’s is a second floor unit, but the stairs are a very easy climb.

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.

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.
