Perfect Southern Bell

Wow! What a great location and wonderful experience! A must stay if you're visiting St. Marys! The posting is completely accurate--a great two bedroom, river front vacation home to welcome you to an almost island-like retreat on the St. Marys river. Moments from dining, nightly live music and the ferry to Cumberland Island. We were celebrating the retirement of a Navy friend at Kingsbay Submarine Base which is an easy 15 minute drive, as is Crooked River State Park. While we were out frequently, the full kitchen and available appliances and cookware would have let us dine in anytime. The deck was a great retreat to sit and overlook the river, or we could opt to sit on porch swings with a short walk. The next time we return to St. Marys we will definitely be looking to return to the Southern Bell!

Location, Location, Location!

My husband and I just completed a two week stay at the Southern Bell. It turned out to be the perfect place for us to explore St. Mary’s, Georgia and areas nearby. The view out of our 2nd floor living space was over the St. Mary’s River. We loved watching the Cumberland Ferry boarding right across the street. Restaurants were a short walking distance from our temporary home. Calm bike rides around town also helped us connect with the area (Saturday community market, parks to enjoy a packed lunch or listen to the local small band perform). Of course we went on a walking tour - Murder and Mayhem of St. Mary's - fun! At Crooked River State Park we signed up for a low tide kayak excursion with a naturalist. St Mary’s is located between Amelia Island and Jekyll Island. Both have amazing bike trails that go on forever. However it always was a joy to return to the Southern Bell…fresh, clean, comfortable and lacking nothing.

Beautiful location and Deco!

This was a fun, beautiful, remodeled apartment on the St. Mary’s River in Historic downtown. Comfortable beds and furniture, new appliances, washer and dryer and very clean. So nice to just walk to restaurants, submarine museum, shops and the waterfront park and Ferry dock!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Herbert

Why they chose this property

The Telephone Office Building, built in 1947. It was an important fixture on the downtown waterfront until 1951. We have paid tribute to that legacy with a couple of vintage phones and other memorabilia from our collection on site in the apartment. Our dream is to open a small telephone exhibit of the phones used in this area between the late 1850's up to the 1950's.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! Any closer to the water and you would be wet! Great views of the water and boats. You can watch the sunrise and sunset from the porch or the inside of the apartment.
