Enjoyed our stay in St. Marys. The cottage was quite comfortable - no problems at all. St. Marys is a lovely little walkable town. Our dog enjoyed it perhaps even more than we did and is now complaining that we don't take her on as many walks.

This was our fifth stay at Merry Mermaid Cottage in six years. The cottage and its location in St. Marys are both fabulous, so much so that we've made it an annual getaway. Barbara (the owner) is exceptional at communication and accommodation. The cottage couldn't be better, just perfect for our needs and accessorized with anything you might need. Then there's nearby Cumberland Island National Seashore, a paradise just 45 minutes away by ferry. Thanks, Barbara, for another fantastic visit!

Location was very good. Fenced in yard was a plus for pets. Kitchen was well equipped. Appliances worked fine. Outside could use some attention - power wash deck and siding maybe? More info in the instruction notes to include recycle process and what to do with bedding and linens upon departure.

We have been traveling to coastal ga for a few years now. This was our first trip to st Mary's, an absolute gem. Merry mermaid cottage is easy walking distance to everything in the true historic downtown. Cottage is clean, comfortable, and very quiet. It was almost like going back in time. My family lives in a rapid growing area near orlando where apartments and chain restaurants are more important than trees and wildlife. That said, it was a great refreshing break. My wife and my doggies loved it. Barbara is a great host. The only complaint I have is that I already miss being in St Mary's. We will be back.

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.

The Merry Mermaid Cottage is the perfect place for a quick getaway. Its location is great for walking downtown to see the beautiful river view. It is a cozy and comfortable place to kick back and relax. Barbara was good to check in with us to make sure everything was good.
