The location is stellar. A short walk to restaurants and shops as well as the ferry to the island and the park. The house is comfortably furnished and clean. All aspects of the house are functional although some updates would be nice.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
