About this property

Hang up all your cares and woes and head to Southern Bell with Riverfront views!

  • Come and see why Southern Bell beckons. We are located on the second floor of the 1940’s original telephone office building right on the historic waterfront of St. Mary’s. Newly renovated in the Low-Country style this property offers incredible views of the waterfront. Walk to local restaurants, museums and parks. The ferry to Cumberland Island boards within yards of the front of the property. Cumberland Island is the premier wild beach experience with 15 miles of undeveloped beach to explore. Wild horses and historic ruins add to the adventure. Perfect get-away for the author, artist, or to relieve the workday stress.

Wonderful spot in a cute town!

We had a great time in this charming apartment! I really enjoyed sitting outside on the patio overlooking the water. The town is small but not lacking in things to do and see. This place is perfect for you if you want a quiet and peaceful getaway!

Great town, the accommodation was more than the pictures do justice and lots to do. Toured the town of St Mary's and went to Cumberland Island a must see. Food, location scenery off the charts, here we come again. A 10++

Costal Georgia Gem

Cleanest property we’ve ever stayed at. Everything about the property was very accurately represented in the listing. If anything, understated. Great location to explore costal South Georgia. It was quiet and we felt very safe.

Fall visit to St Mary’s

My wife and I were very impressed with our stay at the Southern Bell. The place was much nicer than we expected and a great location. Cleanliness was exceptional and with all the amenities we never went to the store for coffee, cream, toiletries, etc…. We visited 3 of the 4 major islands in the area during our long weekend and would highly recommend the Southern Bell for exploring the local area.

Fabulous place

Views of river for sunrise and sunset, walking distance to everything including Cumberland Island Ferry, dining, parks, and museums. Very well appointed with plenty of fluffy towels, soft sheets, and comfy beds. Well equipped kitchen. Lovely decor celebrating the building’s history without being overdone. Beautiful reclaimed heart of pine for floors, doors, and some furniture items. Very relaxing!

Georgia getaway

We stayed for 4 nights. Upon arriving there was a very strong moldy smell coming from the air conditioner. Stong enough to make us ill. We contacted the manager and over the course of a day and 1/2 she sent a service person out to fix it. Day 3 and 4 were very nice. The place was very clean and beautifully appointed.

Checked off another bucket list item!✅

Cumberland Island has been on my bucket list for years. We stayed at the best location to do so much! We went twice to Cumberland Island, walked to several stores/restaurants, drove to Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach FL too! We even had some down time just to chill out on the porch and watch the boats go by. We even enjoyed the music from local restaurants from this amazing place! Highly recommend and hope to do again because there’s still so much we didn’t have time for. It was just the place I needed at this time. Linda was fantastic to communicate with and her mom did great with the decor!💗

Perfect Southern Bell

Wow! What a great location and wonderful experience! A must stay if you're visiting St. Marys! The posting is completely accurate--a great two bedroom, river front vacation home to welcome you to an almost island-like retreat on the St. Marys river. Moments from dining, nightly live music and the ferry to Cumberland Island. We were celebrating the retirement of a Navy friend at Kingsbay Submarine Base which is an easy 15 minute drive, as is Crooked River State Park. While we were out frequently, the full kitchen and available appliances and cookware would have let us dine in anytime. The deck was a great retreat to sit and overlook the river, or we could opt to sit on porch swings with a short walk. The next time we return to St. Marys we will definitely be looking to return to the Southern Bell!

Adorable apartment

This property was so well taken care of and located in an extremely convenient part of Historic St. Mary's. Restaurants, the Cumberland Island ferry and the waterfront park are just a short walk away. We could watch the ferries come in and out from the front windows. The apartment is well appointed and very clean. Parking was no problem. We thought one jab with the apartment was going to be - not the apartment itself - but the restaurant/bar located behind it. Friday and Saturday night the volume on the music there was extremely loud and since we are not night people but early to bed early to rise people we were initially annoyed. BUT the music shut off at precisely 10pm each night and we able to get a good night's rest.
