A great place for our short get-away

This nice home in a quiet neighborhood was just what we needed for our get-away less than an hour from home. From Mermaid Cottage we explored Cumberland Island and St. Mary's and had a comfortable place to return to each evening.

Returning to childhood

The property is lovely. Perfect for a landing pad while exploring the area. The house is clean, well appointed and was quite relaxing. It is all you need for a weekend get away. We had no problems getting in, directions were spot on and everything was easy to find. St. Mary’s has not changed much in the last 40 years, and I love it even more.

Perfect mini vacation

This cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed and more. The decor was lovely and it was located in a quiet neighborhood with downtown very closeby. We visited Apr 30 thru May 4th 2025 and the weather was delightful. The ferry to Cumberland was another wonderful day 9am- 3:30 pm departing downtown. Went to Local Dockside steak and seafood sitting outside with a waterview for dinner and we had the best shrimp ever so had to stop for lunch before diving home. Our host also was kind enough to allow us an early check in and noon check out. She also treated us to see a production at the Theater by the Trax. I wouldn't stay anywhere else if we can return to the area.
