BRB Perfect Vaca Spot!
This house checked all the needs for a beach vacation! We travel with 4 kids and a Great Dane! This home had plenty of space for all of us, and a fenced in backyard!

We had a wonderful stay!
The house was clean, well stocked, & very comfortable for our group. The beach is just a couple blocks away from the house. The host was very easy to communicate with, although we didn’t have any issues. It was a perfect place for a quiet getaway!

Great single level home that was perfect for us and our dog. We had an issue with the double door and with one message to Tara, it was quickly resolved. She is very good to work with.

Great Location
We love this house so much that we have stayed here twice now and will stay here again. I love the large parking area that makes it easy to bring my boat and our dogs love the fenced in yard. Spacious, clean, and close to the beach and bay, this is a great house and host.

Top Notch Rental
This was a wonderful alternative to staying at a hotel for me and colleagues while attending a meeting in the area. The host was very responsive throughout the process and helpful with directions as we tried to find it after dark (very thankful for this!). The home has all the amenities you need for a short or long stay and is designed and furnished with comfort and living in mind. As a small example that speaks to the thoughtfulness of details...hooks were in the places where you want/need them and the spaces were not crowded with knickknacks so there is room for your things. It's located in a quiet neighborhood and within short walks and drives of grocery, restaurants, beach, and Apalachicola is just over the causeway that spans the gorgeous bay. This will be our go to VRBO if we go back to Apalachicola and need space for more than 2!
