The Merry Mermaid Cottage is the perfect place for a quick getaway. Its location is great for walking downtown to see the beautiful river view. It is a cozy and comfortable place to kick back and relax. Barbara was good to check in with us to make sure everything was good.

A great place for our short get-away

This nice home in a quiet neighborhood was just what we needed for our get-away less than an hour from home. From Mermaid Cottage we explored Cumberland Island and St. Mary's and had a comfortable place to return to each evening.

Loved the Merry Mermaid Cottage!

My wife and I stayed here for about a week while meeting with the builder for our new home in St Marys. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and the location is convenient to everything in the town. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone who desires a relaxing location in the heart of St Marys!
