Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Karen Hoff

I purchased the houseboat marina in 2013 and moved to Apalachicola to manage Florida Houseboat Vacation Rentals in 2014 after retiring from my career as a Commercial Lending Officer. Since then, I have added 3 houseboats along with the 2 additional houseboats which were moored in the marina already. I decided to move to Apalachicola for the "Old Florida" charm of the city with it's historic homes and easy lifestyle.
Why they chose this property
The location makes it easy to walk to all of the restaurants, bars, shops and historic homes in downtown Apalachicola.
What makes this property unique

The Rebel's Rest (one of 4 houseboats) offers a covered waterfront porch with space to enjoy a meal or just watch the boat traffic and a very upscale interior.
