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!

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.

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 absolutely loved our stay! The cottage was so quaint and cozy! It had everything we needed! While dog-friendly, it was still very clean. The kitchen was well stocked and the fenced in yard was great. The location was perfect. We loved walking downtown to the river and for breakfast/dinner. We will be back!
