Mermaid Cottage

Place seemed bigger than the photos showed. Very nice place. Host was available by phone but otherwise did not communicate with us while we were there. Upon first entering, it smelled like concentrated fabuloso, the cleaning product used. It was clean, just not pristine, which was ok with us. cleaning

Quiet get away in an amazing place...

I want to start this off by saying I had a great time, was left alone, and the place had more than what a person/couple would ever need. Barbara was quick to respond to questions with real answers and was flexible in response to special requests. Just make sure to research the area (i.e. driving rules, current dining options/times, detailed maps, etc. are not provided) before you arrive so you can maximize your time in the beautiful area!

Wonderful Cottage

We visited St Mary’s to enjoy the small town charm and the Cumberland Island National Seashore. We had a great time. The cottage is very cute and conveniently located. I would recommend just a couple upgrades: mattress, shower head, and a smart tv, We cook and the light on the stove was out. A small thing. The cottage is a bargain and we will be planning on staying again!

Cottage Near St. Marys Waterfront

The Merry Mermaid Cottage is conveniently located within walking distance of the waterfront (about 1/2 mile). The cottage is well stocked with all necessary kitchen utensils, appliances, and cookware for those who like to prepare their own meals. There is also a gas grill located behind the back deck. For those who prefer to eat out, there are several restaurants within walking distance featuring pizza, seafood, sandwiches, salads, etc. In addition, the cottage is well stocked with linens and towels, as well as extra blankets and pillows. Also located nearby are the Cumberland Island Ferry and Visitors Center, Waterfront Park, and the St. Marys Submarine Museum. I would highly recommend a visit to the Submarine Museum - especially for those who served aboard a submarine or have a family connection to a submariner. Barbara, the owner, was very helpful and readily available via text, phone, or email for any problem that may arise. Overall stay was excellent.
