Wonderful stay

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was exactly as advertised. It is charming and cozy. The king bed was especially comfortable! It is very close to the ferry going to Cumberland Island and everything else in town. The town itself is quiet and feels very safe. We were amazed at all the history of St Mary’s! We rode our bikes all around the town. David was responsive and accommodating. We will definitely stay again if in the area and we highly recommend The Sweetest Spot.

Great Location

We enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and relaxing, and everything we needed was within walking distance. We checked in then walked around St Mary's. People were friendly and a couple of people, working in their yards stopped to talk with us. We walked through the historic cemetery and then through the History Walk. It was very interesting and informative. We enjoyed the evening sitting on the back, screened porch. The next morning we walked to the ferry for our day at Cumberland Island. The house is old, but very clean and was exactly as listed. I would stay there again. My only issue was with the lock box. The numbers were difficult to turn and was left unlocked. I was unable to turn the numbers to lock it when we left. Perhaps it needs some oil or, should be replaced.

Seashore Getaway

The location is stellar. A short walk to restaurants and shops as well as the ferry to the island and the park. The house is comfortably furnished and clean. All aspects of the house are functional although some updates would be nice.

Sweet St. Mary's cottage

A fabulous location cottage for walking everywhere in downtown St. Mary's for restaurants and sites. The best part is sitting on the back screened in porch drinking coffee in the am listening to the sweet sounds of all the birds. Loved it! Thank you.
