Challenging to Investors
STR lodging is allowed in commercial districts (C‑1/C‑2) under hotel/boardinghouse rules with permits, inspections, and possible special use; residential districts do not permit lodging uses, so whole‑unit STRs are generally prohibited there and home‑occupation rules do not cover transient rentals. Tax registration, off‑street parking and historic‑district design standards add steps, and the lack of a citywide STR license pathway creates uncertainty. Overall, STRs are legally possible but constrained by limited zones, moderate permitting, and compliance requirements.

The Florida border is just to the south across the river, Cumberland Island National Seashore is to the northeast, and Kingsland, Georgia, is to the west. Jacksonville, Florida, is 38 miles south, and Savannah, Georgia, is 110 miles north.
The city is home to the National Seashore's visitor center and boat access; the St. Marys Submarine Museum, and Crooked River State Park. It is bordered by Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, home port for several Ohio-class submarines. The city hosts the annual St. Marys Rock Shrimp Festival.
