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.
What makes this property unique
Location - location - location. To the waterfront, to the Cumberland Island Ferry, to the children's park and to great local restaurants and cafes.
