    Angie was born and raised in St. Marys. Jimmy moved to St. Marys 21 years ago. Angie loves decorating & entertaining. Jimmy loves working in the gardens, the goldfish pond and their new koi pond.

    We fell in love with this homey place, the good food, but especialy the owners who treated us like family. It was great to see happy dogs we could love, as we always miss our animals when we travel. We look forward to returning again.

    WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!

    We had a great time at Emma's. Angie and Jimmy were marvelous! Warm, friendly--true old-fashioned Southern hospitality. They really made us feel welcome. The Inn was immaculate, the food was first rate and served with style and panache. We liked it so much, we stayed for 5 nights. ST Marys is a peaceful little village--we rode around on the bicycles they provided, watched the sunsets from the long boardwalk out into the marsh, and rode the ferry (a minute away) to Cumberland Island (where the wild horses are) for a day. We used the inn as a base camp to explore St Simons, Jekyll Island, and Fernandina Beach. We've already reserved the same room again for next year. My wife especially liked the bath products provided--so much so that she bought a supply of each from Angie's little "store"--apparently we aren't the only ones who liked them that much.

    My boyfriend and I stayed at this marvelous Bed and Breakfast Friday night to Monday morning. It was our Birthday weekend. Ms. Angie and Mr. Jimmy treated us like family. We arrived late (10 pm), but they had someone waiting up for us. Each morning, we were greeted with the best homemade breakfast and the warmest conversation. It was our first time going away together and the Emma made it a memorable one. I plan on doing this every year for my birthday, now. The rooms are so big!! Cumberland Island was great..I highly recommend the Emma to anyone looking for a getaway..don't forget to try the English muffins with orange marmalade..Enjoy!

    We wanted a quiet weekend away, I wanted to walk the late 1700 to present beautiful cemetery within walking distance of Emmas. We wanted a great sea food meal at Langs and a wonderful lunch at the Riverside Cafe. I wanted to browse that wonderful shop ( The Golden Pineapple) and the shops of local artists. We did it all! What a great weekend.

    Wonderful getaway!

    My husband and I spent an extended weekend in St. Mary's and stayed at Emma's. The weekend could not have been more romantic and wonderful in most part due to Emma's. Angie, Jim, Ansley and Paul are all fantastic. Everyone is welcoming, warm and helpful. They are very knowledgeable about the area as they are from St. Mary's. Angie makes an amazing breakfast. You definitely don't go hungry at Emma's. One of the things that my husband and I really enjoyed was the small touches that the family makes available to the guests. There are bikes to ride around town, there are always cold drinks and wine in the fridge to have at your convenience and Angie will pack picnic lunches for you as well. My husband arranged to have chocolate covered strawberries in the room waiting for us that were homemade by Angie and her granddaughter(can I just say..delicious!). If you are looking for a wonderful getaway, St. Mary's is stuck in time with good restaurants, beautiful parks, Cumberland Island and a gem of a B & B called Emma's. Thank you to Angie, Jim and your family for making our stay so special. We can't wait to return. Kim and Gary Koehler
