The home was very comfortable and clean. It was in walking distance to everything we needed. It was very family friendly area. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to go to Cumberland Island to stay here. Landlord was very quickly to respond to my messages. Grandchildren enjoyed having a playground across the street.

Wonderful stay

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was exactly as advertised. It is charming and cozy. The king bed was especially comfortable! It is very close to the ferry going to Cumberland Island and everything else in town. The town itself is quiet and feels very safe. We were amazed at all the history of St Mary’s! We rode our bikes all around the town. David was responsive and accommodating. We will definitely stay again if in the area and we highly recommend The Sweetest Spot.

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.

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.

This place was perfect for my family of 4. We went to Cumberland island and it’s within walking distance of the ferry. We were also able to walk to a few restaurants for dinner and breakfast. The beds are so comfortable! We loved it!

Adorable home close to town.

We loved our stay here! So easy to walk to Saint Mary's Park, Historic Downtown and to local restaurants. We didn't use the hot tub, but it was nice to have that option. We will absolutely stay here again.
