Great location and really comfy beds!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Tiffany Petrie

The owners are a couple from Atlanta, GA that loves to slip away from the busy-ness of the city to the tranquility and beauty of the Coast. We enjoy the abundance of outside activities and also as a couple simply for 'us' time. We enjoy the romantic side of St Marys and Cumberland Island. Jimmy & Carla

Why they chose this property

We love nature, horses and the simple things in life. We fell in love with this quaint Cottage and named it 'The Sweet Spot' because that's exactly what it is. Its only steps and or minutes away to coastal treasures that we love. We always return for the historical charm of St Marys and the mystery and beauty of Cumberland Island.
