The Merry Mermaid Cottage is conveniently located within walking distance of the waterfront (about 1/2 mile). The cottage is well stocked with all necessary kitchen utensils, appliances, and cookware for those who like to prepare their own meals. There is also a gas grill located behind the back deck. For those who prefer to eat out, there are several restaurants within walking distance featuring pizza, seafood, sandwiches, salads, etc. In addition, the cottage is well stocked with linens and towels, as well as extra blankets and pillows. Also located nearby are the Cumberland Island Ferry and Visitors Center, Waterfront Park, and the St. Marys Submarine Museum. I would highly recommend a visit to the Submarine Museum - especially for those who served aboard a submarine or have a family connection to a submariner. Barbara, the owner, was very helpful and readily available via text, phone, or email for any problem that may arise. Overall stay was excellent.
