Fun in Apalachicola

This was our first trip to Apalachicola. This rental unit was amazing! So quaint, clean, spacious for a 1 bedroom and the location was superb! Short walking distance to restaurants, bars, boutiques and shops. Donna was so friendly and readily available. We had no problems whatsoever, but if we had she was right there to help. We want to come back to this rental and enjoy Apalachicola again!

A Wonderful Getaway in Downtown Apalachicola

This was our family’s first time staying in Apalachicola AND our first time staying in a rental vs a hotel! We really enjoyed our stay! We were looking for a place to stay where we could have some beach time and fishing opportunities for my husband and son, but in a smaller town setting. Apalachicola was a perfect fit! The guys were able to do some fishing on the nearby piers in Apalachicola and East Point while I stayed behind and checked out downtown Apalachicola by foot. We spent one day over on St George Island just a short drive away. The beach was unbelievably beautiful! This rental is tucked right in the middle of downtown—restaurants, stores, coffee shops, etc. are just a short walk away. Inside, this rental was clean, tidy, spacious, and nicely decorated. The kitchen was lovely. I really appreciated the washer and dryer as well. Check-in/check-out was smooth and simple. We highly recommend!!

Quiet escape

Traveling through Florida on our way to St. Augustine, we always like to stop off in beautiful Apalach for a couple of days. This was a beautiful and peaceful spot!!! Shady upstairs porch with views of the river, it’s a perfect hidden perch to sit and sip. The furnishings are akin to something out of Southern Living and it’s spotlessly clean and modern. I didn’t want to leave.

Fabulous Location!

Loved our stay in this spacious, comfortable apartment. Donna was great, had everything ready for us and made our late night check-in a breeze. We walked everywhere in charming downtown Apalachicola, including just five blocks to a fast charging station for our EV. We’ll make time to come back.

Wow! So charming

I never ever say I’d stay at the same rental twice - but this would be the first one I would without a doubt come back! It is ADORABLE! So clean. Easy convenient street parking. So walkable. Quiet neighborhood. Spacious. Bathroom and kitchen felt nice and new. We loved it! Also, if you’re like me and love a loud white noise fan in the bedroom to sleep, you’ll love it! Zero complaints. Just be warned if you’re not a fan of stairs, might need an extra set of hands to help with luggage. It was great.
