Birthday Trip
The Cannonball House was just perfect for our group. It was a perfect location. We were comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting on the porch at night. The property manager was easy to work with and answered all of our questions promptly. We will definitely stay in this beautiful home when we visit St. Mary's again.

Great stay in St. Mary's
Beautiful historic property. We loved how it was decorated. You could feel the history but at the same time it was nicely updated and very comfortable. It had everything we needed and it was very close to the ferry and downtown.

Experience history in St. Mary’s
We chose to stay in the historical part of St. Mary’s. Our first visit there. Staying at the Cannon Ball house was extra special. It clearly is an older historic house- as is the entire historic area- but very clean, well air conditioned with fans in every room, comfortable beds.. plenty of room.

The home is located in a quaint neighborhood. I felt safe walking in the evening. Easy walk to the river and a small park. The home is historic and spacious. We had plenty of room to allow everyone to have space. I found the bed to be comfortable. Plenty of dishes for cooking and extra items needed such as the occasional band aid. Quick response to any questions.

Perfect Couples Weekend
We all love historic homes so were very excited to find "The Cannonball House" to ring in New Years 2023. We wanted to attend the Fernandina Beach "Shrimp Drop" but didn't want to overpay for inferior hotel rooms there. We wanted easy access to Amelia Island and St Simons in a quaint area. St Marys definitely fit the bill. The house was perfectly situated within walking distance to the beautiful downtown area. The Cumberland Island Ferry was so close and we enjoyed a lovely day there visiting the National Seashore, the ruins and the feral horses. We highly recommend this home and the area for your next getaway.

St. Mary's was such a special little town to stay in and being able to come "home" to the Cannon Ball house at the end of each day only made it that much better. The house was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. It was perfectly located within walking distance of everything we could need or want. We'll definitely return!

Our stay at Cannonball House was amazing! The accommodations were just as wonderful, if not more, as it was depicted on the VRBO website. Great location, so close to historic St Marys! We walked to town daily. The purpose of our trip was to see if this is where we want to retire. It is definitely #1 on our list :)

What a lovely place!
My husband and I and our pups, along with two friends stayed here to be near a wedding over the weekend. The owners were wonderful in communicating before and during our stay. The home is beautiful and had everything we needed from a well stocked kitchen to plenty of fresh linens. We loved the location being so near “downtown” St. Mary’s (very small but quaint) and the neighborhood was wonderful to take walks in. But the best part was spending mornings and evenings on the expansive porch! I would recommend this home to anyone. You won’t be disappointed!

We were in St Mary's for a family wedding and found the Canonball House to be the perfect place for our stay. Lots of space, clean, cheerful and the location is perfect. The porch is a wonderful place to unwind and breathe. It's a home with a rich history and alot of charm. It is a quick walk to the Riverfront, some shops, restaurants and quaint bars. The owners are quick to respond and made the whole process so easy. We loved this house!

Everything was clean and as described. Plenty of room for everyone to move about. We spent most of our time at our sons house so we didn’t cook or eat at the house other than coffee and cocoa, but it appeared to have everything necessary for cooking. We hope to come back and spend some time around a fire in the back yard.

Unique historical home with modern touches to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily chaos and stress.

Paradise in South Georgia
If you are a history buff, or just want to get away and relax, this is the perfect place. A very lovely decorated house with lots of room. I owners responded to questions within minutes, and shared lots of information. St Mary's itself is like going back 30-40 years in time...No rush, kids riding bikes and playing ball. active church communities and lots of dog?cat friendly people. It was a 3 block walk to the river front, parks,bookstore, ice cream and great sea food....We found everyone in town to be friendly and helpful. We had lunch and carryout from Langs, and of course cheese cake from Riverfront cafe for dessert. One of our best family trips. I can't leave out the three sided porch for breakfast coffee, and reading. Thanks again

This was a beautiful house for our family of 4 (including 2 teenagers) to stay for our week long visit with family in the St. Mary's area. This house was very clean, had character, and was spacious. We enjoyed our time sitting on the deck, preparing our own food, and appreciated the quiet neighborhood. The communication with the hosts was excellent! We will definitely consider staying at the Cannon Ball house again on our next visit to SE GA.

What a wonderful place to stay! The location was perfect, away from the crowds but walking distance to town. The home was so comfortable and clean and the lovely display of antiques and collectables was charming. the kitchen was great to work in and well stocked but cozy and big enough for get togethers. We also enjoyed the large veranda, which was perfect for cocktails or just relaxing with a book! Altogether we would love to come back again and again!

This setup was great for our family. The living areas where very comfortable with room for everyone to be together or have space. The beds where very comfortable and the house was well equipped. I spent most of my time in the porch swing. The location is close to downtown and just a short walk to the water. St marys was a great little town with unique places to visit. We will likely be back as I now have a list of places to explore.

Great historical home
I stayed here for 3 months, avoiding Chicago winter during the pandemic. I found so much peace and tranquillity here, enjoying small town living, decent weather and great neighbors. The house is interesting, it was once a two room study with a large wrap around porch. The back half was converted into living space. The house is spacious and has a bath in every bedroom. I spent most time on the porch swing, just enjoying the weather and quiet.
