We spent close to two weeks here and it was wonderful. There's not currently a lot of dock space, but they are planning to expand in the coming years. Marina facilities are in a house a short walk away, but they are planning to upgrade that as well. The dock master, Colin, is super helpful and a joy to chat with and the dock hands are also very friendly and helpful.
The old part of the town of St Marys is just a couple of blocks away where there are several bars and restaurants, a beautiful waterfront with ferry service to the Cumberland Island National Seashore, two interesting museums including a submarine museum, many little shops and a wonderful bookstore, and a fascinating history, which you can learn about at the history walk park right beside an intriguing cemetery. During our stay there were several community events including a ghost walk as part of the Halloween festivities. The ghost walk featured local residents in full costume acting as historical figures from the town's past doing a great job of explaining tidbits of the history in an entertaining and almost spooky fashion. We departed well before Thanksgiving but understand that the community celebrates then with equal enthusiasm and caters to boaters to some degree. I highly recommend stopping in here whether you're traveling by boat or not.
