Really enjoyed our stay at this unit. Perfect for my husband and I. Relaxing getaway. Unit was cozy and clean.

We always look for places near water so our boys can fish and a place that is pet friendly. This place knocked it out the park. Not only was there great fishing piers right across the road but the creek near the house was full of fish and crabs. The fenced in backyard was great and some of the stores and restaurants are even pet friendly. They had two bikes for us to use which was awesome for a morning bike ride. Really you can walk to everything. We also brought a boat and used that to check out Cumberland island. And Tiffany made our stay amazing. She was so quick to reply to any questions. We will definitely be back.

Property is just as pictured, clean, comfortable and was perfect size for the two of us with furry baby but a family of four could easily love this cottage. Location couldn’t be better in St Mary’s - everything is within walking distance. Nice park near by on riverfront. Beds are comfy, perfect fenced in backyard for fur friends, nice screened in porch for outside sitting without the bugs getting you. It is soooo quiet even though you are right in town. We ate at Locals, Seagals, Riverfront Cafe - all were good and would recommend checking any of them out but Locals was our favorite…maybe because we stumbled on to an all you can eat shrimp special night - the grilled shrimp was amazing!! And Southern River Walk had a great breakfast. Take the ferry and go to Cumberland Island - wild horses were such fun to see and loved walking all the trails. Thanks Tiffany for sharing your home! We will be back!

This location truly lives up to its name. It is located in a spot where you are close distance to local restaurants and shopping as well having plenty of places to walk your dog. Close to Fernandina Beach for some great mini golf. All around a spot my husband and I would visit again.

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.

This property is older but well loved. The proximity to St Mary’s waterfront is excellent and it’s a very short walk to where you board the Cumberland Queen II ferry. AC works fabulously!! We had to wrap up in blankets!

Cute little place with a great location, the bikes are a big plus to do some exploring with. Restaurants in easy walking distance, and a free public boat ramp across the street that isn't the least bit crowded.
5.0 / 5.0
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the sweet spot. The cottage was adorable and a very convenient location to the ferry to Cumberland Island. Our little boy said it was the best vacation EVER. He enjoyed going on walks by the water every morning snd evening. We got to fish and see a concert in the park across the street. Tiffany was wonderful and got back to me quickly. I would definitely book with these amazing people again. I love the N. Ga mountains, but this was by far the most relaxing getaway I’ve had. Our pup was happy as well with the fenced in yard and meeting other dogs on our walks and the attention from locals and other vacationers. Can’t go wrong with an I've cream shop within walking distance.

Great location it’s a cute house. I enjoyed having the bikes and all the kitchen stuff already there when we arrived. It needs to be painted and small repairs made. Double bed on bunk beds needs to be replaced it’s worn out. The house has been neglected as far as updates and landscaping. We still enjoyed our stay just wish I could buy it and give it a makeover.

Great place, best location
Everything was great but in particular the location across from the ferry was perfect. My young son and I were able to have an overnight adventure on the island while my sister and brother-in-law stayed and enjoyed St Mary after a day trip to the island with us.

Location was perfect
Close enough to walk to Main Street and the River but quiet also. We grilled and chilled arrival night. Cumberland island visit the next day with bikes and picnic lunch. The cottage was just big enough for the three of us. I’d stay again.

Perfect Location
This home is walking distance to EVERYTHING. The king size bed was very comfortable after a loooong day on Cumberland Island. I can't remember when I've slept better. The home is adorable and is just as advertised. The back yard is completely fenced and perfect for our dog. I would definitely stay here again.

Nothing Sweeter than the Sweet Spot
The Sweet Spot surely is exactly as advertised. It's tucked away, yet right at the waterfront. Walking distance to several bars and restaurants as well as the Cumberland Island visitor's center where you can ride the ferry over to the National Seashore for the day. The Spot has all the amenities you'd need and it's an awesome little home away from home. We used the grill out back often and the screened in back porch was great for both morning coffee and evening drink. Will definitely consider this Spot again when we return as Saint Marys is one of my favorite towns to spend time in.

Great location in historical district
Enjoyed this quaint house nestled in the beautiful trees of the historic district. Walking distance to great restaurants, the ferry to Cumberland Island and the waterfront. House is very comfortable and clean. Screened in patio is a bonus. Relaxing, quiet area.

Cute little cottage
Check in was easy. Cute cottage - if you've ever wondered what it would be like to stay in a tiny house, try this cottage! Walking distance to small town - gift shops, restaurants, and theCumberland Island ferry (Do go to the island and take the van tour.) Cottage is right by ferry parking lot but it isn't noisy at all.

Location plus Communication
I have just completed a four month stay at “the Sweetspot” and it was enjoyable for several major reasons. First, it really is a “sweet” place to stay. Being right in the middle of the St Marys downtown historic district and directly across from the very nice waterfront park with great walking paths on the water and boat ramps, it was everything I wanted and hoped it would be when I decided to escape the North country winter this year. I also trailered a small boat which I was able to park right on the property and easily put in the water to enjoy some nice fishing and boating. So, the overall experience for me was sweet and the bed was very comfortable. However, when you decide to stay somewhere for an extended period of time, like being at your own home, there is a good chance that things can go wrong and unlike being at your own home, you are at the mercy of your host. In this case Tiffany. Things did happen. First, and probably most important to me, was the internet. The internet was there, installed and working and for most people it would have been more then sufficient. However, in my case, I was receiving some long, complex documents and I really could have benefited from it being faster. Remarkably, all I needed to do was mention it to Tiffany and by the next morning the internet provider was there installing a new fiber optic line with the most speedy internet known to man. The property was clean when I moved in but since I was going to be there for months I wanted it to be cleaned regularly and Tiffany arranged to have a cleaning person there every two weeks. When I had a mechanical problem with my boat, I called Tiffany and she helped me find someone to repair the issue. The washing machine stopped working and the very next morning a new one was installed. We had a very big rain and wind storm that blew some of the shingles off and caused a rain leak. The next day a roofer did the repairs. Yes, I did expect the management to respond when there was a problem but Tiffany’s responses were instantaneous and better then the consierge service at the Waldorf. That is not to mention the several lovely and delicious meals she dropped off on occasion. All of her actions were way above and beyond what would be expected and, frankly, what would have been required. The property is the “sweetspot” but Tiffany was responsible for making the stay better then I could have ever expected.

Great location!
We found the cottage to be exactly as described. It was small but plenty of room for the two of us and our dogs. We loved being able to walk the dogs down to the park to watch the sunset. We also enjoyed the seafood festival.
