Reclaimed cypress beams accent the sliding barn door which is also a refinished piece which is about 150 years old as well. The shabby chic mantel is also from a home in the original neighborhood of the legendary 'Doc Holliday' who was from Lowndes County (just over the Georgia/Florida line).

While history is all around, the modern-day oversized Garden Tub bath awaits you to ease away the time and relax. Then 'above it all' are the huge skylights constructed through the tin ceiling. From the ultra plush pillowtop bed, You can lie back and count the stars or watch the clouds roll by after an afternoon restful retreat.

So, whether you are returning from an eco tour up the river, a day at the beach, fishing or kayaking on the bay, a stroll or golf cart ride through the oak lined historic district, shopping around the corner, or dining at the one of the amazing waterfront cafes just steps from your door, The Blue Moon Carriage House Loft is your perfect home away from home for your best Apalachicola experience!

The apartment over the garage could not have been nicer. Everything was provided that was in the listing. You were close to everything that Apalachicola has to offer. This is a great town to just walk around in and see the sights.

Peaceful and Private.

We really enjoyed our time here. The place was comfortable and quiet. The balcony was very enjoyable, we especially enjoyed the birds . The Carriage House is easy walking distance to restaurants and nice shops. Apalachicola is a wonderful place to visit and our stay there was great. There is a lot to do in the area. Fishing, museums and a short drive to beautiful beaches at St George island. The WW 2 museum at Carrabelle was very special to see.

Wonderful stay!

We found this loft very clean, nicely furnished, and comfortable. It had everything we needed for a pleasant two-week stay. The location is in the heart of historic downtown Apalachicola, safe, and just steps away from the wonderful restaurants, historic sites, shops, and bars the area has to offer. Despite the central location, the loft is very quiet, and the balconies are perfect for catching morning sun while sipping coffee. The host was wonderful, too! We highly recommend this place.

Location Location Location

We were in town for the Porch Fest. We wanted to stay in town so we could walk and ride bikes everywhere. This was a perfect location. Close to everything. The rental was very clean and cute. You must be able to walk up stairs. This could be a concern if you are not able to carry luggage or had a lot of items to carry up. This did not impact us. We enjoyed the common areas and enjoyed visiting on the porch with others.

Perfect Couple's Getaway

We loved staying at the loft! Perfect spot to walk to all of the great places in Apalachicola, and a short ride over to the island for beach time. The Loft is extremely well done - the design and decor is so charming and you can tell how much thought and heart went into this place! Has everything you need. We could not get the TV/Wifi to work after trying a few times, however we didn't even need it. The front porch is a great touch as well, spacious to sit and relax outside. Parking is on street but was extremely easy, don't let that scare you or deter you, Apalachicola is quiet and peaceful and we never had an issue pulling right up. We loved how close the house was to everything we needed. Will definitely try to stay here again if we come back to Apalach/SGI!
