About this property
Hang up all your cares and woes and head to Southern Bell with Riverfront views!
Come and see why Southern Bell beckons. We are located on the second floor of the 1940’s original telephone office building right on the historic waterfront of St. Mary’s. Newly renovated in the Low-Country style this property offers incredible views of the waterfront. Walk to local restaurants, museums and parks. The ferry to Cumberland Island boards within yards of the front of the property. Cumberland Island is the premier wild beach experience with 15 miles of undeveloped beach to explore. Wild horses and historic ruins add to the adventure. Perfect get-away for the author, artist, or to relieve the workday stress.

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.
