Absolutely lovely and just as described. We cannot wait to come back. Beautiful view of the water and walking distance to everything. You will not be disappointed!

We couldn't wait to get back here! The place is spotless and so very relaxing! We enjoy the fact that we can go out on the deck to watch the water and listen to the live music next door. Such a cool place to stay!

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!💗

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.

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!

My husband and I just completed a two week stay at the Southern Bell. It turned out to be the perfect place for us to explore St. Mary’s, Georgia and areas nearby. The view out of our 2nd floor living space was over the St. Mary’s River. We loved watching the Cumberland Ferry boarding right across the street. Restaurants were a short walking distance from our temporary home. Calm bike rides around town also helped us connect with the area (Saturday community market, parks to enjoy a packed lunch or listen to the local small band perform). Of course we went on a walking tour - Murder and Mayhem of St. Mary's - fun! At Crooked River State Park we signed up for a low tide kayak excursion with a naturalist. St Mary’s is located between Amelia Island and Jekyll Island. Both have amazing bike trails that go on forever. However it always was a joy to return to the Southern Bell…fresh, clean, comfortable and lacking nothing.

This was a fun, beautiful, remodeled apartment on the St. Mary’s River in Historic downtown. Comfortable beds and furniture, new appliances, washer and dryer and very clean. So nice to just walk to restaurants, submarine museum, shops and the waterfront park and Ferry dock!

Great property - great owners!
