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.

Very cute place with all amenities you could want! The entire place feels brand new and the two bedrooms were very nice to have. And, the location is perfect for taking the ferry and grabbing a bite to eat at the local restaurants. I highly recommend staying here (it is perfect for four adults/children)!
This is the 4th home we have rented in St Mary ‘s and each very nice and would probably rent again but this home was more cozy, quaint, well decorated and the view from the porch was the best of the homes we have rented.
Since this was our fourth stay, obviously we love the listing! The views are amazing, the surrounding shops and waterfront never get old and the listing is always spotlessly clean, completely comfortable and just so thoughtfully furnished and decorated, we love this place! Thanks for another great vacation!
The property is very well maintained and everything is very thoughtfully laid out. It's nearby everything you'll want to see and do so it's very convenient. The property is well decorated and has everything you need for your stay.
Great place, convenient walking distance to all the downtown St. Mary's spots including the Cumberland Island Ferry. Highly recommend this place if you are interested in a fun stay in St. Mary's GA.
Walking distance to everything with a great view of the water. Property has ample space and nice updates with comfortable and attractive furnishings and decorations. Well thought out amenities with every single need anticipated and provided for.
Beautiful rental in down town Historic St. Mary's very comfortable furnishings. Nice deck to overlook the river and a short walk to everything downtown.
The property was perfect. It’s in a great location and it is in excellent condition. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to explore South Ga.
Beautiful property, comfortable furnishings, updated appliances & great views in an awesome location! Every need anticipated and met; easy check-in & easy checkout, too
Cleanest property we’ve ever stayed at. Everything about the property was very accurately represented in the listing. If anything, understated. Great location to explore costal South Georgia. It was quiet and we felt very safe.
We couldn't wait to get back here! The place is spotless and so very relaxing! We enjoy the fact that we can go out on the deck to watch the water and listen to the live music next door. Such a cool place to stay!
The accommodation were over the top super nice. The views and everything was really great, thanks so much for putting so much thought and effort in a lovely place .
Weekend stay to visit Cumberland Island. The southern bell was the perfect location. Short walk to ferry, restaurants, and shopping.

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.
