About this property
Dog friendly Vacation Rental Home Downtown Historic Apalachicola
As a builder from Kentucky and life-long Apalachicola fan I looked long and hard at finding the right location for the perfect family vacation spot. I wish to extend my personal invitation to you and your family to share my vacation home. Downtown Apalachicola has so much to offer and being able to provide the creature comforts to hard working families like mine was foremost in planning and building this get-away. My family enjoys a little pampering with their time off that is what we wish to share with you. There is plenty of parking on the property. There is room for the boat to be hitched to the truck while parked in front of the house with a handy water hose accessible with additional private parking spot in the back of the cottage. Inside we designed everything with family in mind. New comfortable beds in every bedroom and a twin size sleeper sofa. A full size washer and dryer, an ironing board and iron, a completely stocked kitchen and a relaxing great room are part of the package. Beyond that are two full bath rooms three private bedrooms. The kitchen & great room were designed to allow an open cooking area with room to do so. The tiled floors are for active, easy care, vacationing. Ground Floor home with wide hallways and door ways are wheelchair friendly. Everyone deserves a little pampering while taking a break for relaxation. That is why we decided to take everything up a notch. The new bedding is matched with quality linens and we carry that over to the bathrooms. The shower heads are spa type. This location, across the street from the scenic river and restaurants, is as much about outdoors as inside. There is a relaxing patio and back yard as well as a covered back porch which is perfect for watching the occasional storms pass through. Bring the boat, kayak, bikes, books and games. There is Wi-Fi and cable for after dinner because there is so much to do during the day. Just about anything you can do in, on, above, below or under the water is offered somewhere nearby. Grab a guide at the Visitors Center a quick stroll away. Apalachicola is one of the most historic towns in the country. Its history is rich, eventful and inspiring. You will want to read up about it on line or in the nearby bookstore. Today it is haven for bird watching, all sorts of fishing, photography, environmental site and studies and artists. Not to mention the seasonal variations - such as the massive butterfly, marine and bird migrations. You can easily rent a golf cart and spend all day simply touring the beautiful homes in the historic district, of which you will be a part of. Spanish moss laden giant oaks, hundreds of varieties of palms, delightful gardens are truly inspiring and relaxing. We picked this downtown location because we wanted to be where could park the car and leave it parked. Apalachicola daytime offers countless boutiques , art galleries, coffee shops and restaurants. It is a safe haven where you need not worry about the family strolling the town. The pace is different and infectious. Fishing and festivals round out the calendar in Apalachicola. Fishing is easy to hook up - Just call Robison Brothers Guide Service. The festivals, parades and fireworks are a block away in almost any direction from this property with the added advantage being your parking spots are secured. Head out your front door to the left and you will be on the grounds for the annual Seafood Festival. Head out your front door to the right and you will be in the middle of arts festivals. Head out the back door to the river for street parades, boat parades and fireworks. Kathy Robinson is the property manager, located just a couple blocks away. We look forward to being your host for your next stay in Apalachicola and for years to come. **Outdoor Shower with Hot & Cold water. Shower Al Fresco! rinse off after a fun day at the beach. ***There is a listing on Craigs List using our photos and property description for long term rental. The Craigs list ad is a SCAM. Do not give the scammer any money or your private info.

We had a wonderful stay in Apalachicola. We stayed in the Apalach Guest House and it was great. The house was so clean and had all the amenities we needed. We hope to come back and spend time there again.
The property is fantastic. The house is spacious, convenient to everything and decorated so cute. We will definitely stay here again.

Great location!!!
We loved the Apalach Guest House for our weekend Getaway! My husband, daughter and I met my parents at the Apalach Guest House for a weekend visit. The location could not have been any better - just steps away from all the restaurants, bars and shops and the bay!!!

Tell all your friends about your home away from home in Apalachicola!
This place was perfect for our stay and the property manager was fantastic as well. Everything was within walking distance, plenty of parking, super clean, well stocked - I can't say enough good things about it!
Love Apalachicola! It is like stepping back in time with the quaint shops and ambiance! The property is located near the bay and in the middle of all Apalachicola has to offer. Great eats too! Property was clean well stocked and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!
Quite comfortable & roomy accommodation. Very high quality build/decor. Walking distance to essentially everything in the historic town, and the waterfront. Location felt safe and private.
It was a perfect place to stay. House was close to shops and restaurants. Will love to stay again. Having a grill there was extra special. Cozy and a great place to relax. Grand daughter loved it for her birthday!
This property perfectly suited our family's needs. Close to beaches, shopping, and the quaint little town of Appalachicola. Would come back here again.

Awesome!
The Apalachicola Guest House is in the perfect location. Very comfortable and very nice. We will be back sooner rather than later!
Perfect location for walking to dining and shopping. LOVED the fenced in back yard/patio. Plenty of room for our party of 4. Kitchen is well stocked, however, no dishwasher. Would absolutely rent this place again. Loved our short visit to Apalach!

The only place to stay.....
The AGH was the most comfortable, adorable, well thought out place to stay with friends or family. Kathy, the owner, was the so quick in response. I had left an item and she was able to mail it back to me.
We would not stay anywhere else. They have thought of everything.... Can literally walk everywhere, no need for a car unless going to St. George Island.
Can't wait to schedule our next trip.

Compact, clean and wonderful location
Our second February at the Apalachicola Guest House was as fun and satisfying as the first February we were here even if the weather wasn't quite as cooperative! It is very clean and easy to keep that way, cozy, and yet has room for guests comfortably. We like that it's all on one floor, has a lovely side yard patio for when it's warm enough to be outside. Our favorite part is that it is in Apalachicola, a friendly town, with funky shops, good restaurants, a brew pub, a scenic small riverfront park, multiple oyster raw bars (our favorite with the best entertaining staff is Hole in the Wall)....all within easy walking distance from the house. We look forward to returning.

Love the Apalach Guest House!
This is a great place to stay in Apalachicola. Why not 5 stars? My only complaint is that there is no dishwasher. We have stayed here a few times and didn't really cook, but this last time was over Thanksgiving, and I tried to limit dirty dishes, but alas, there were quite a few and I hate to wash dishes. The lay out is great, two roomy bedrooms with queen size beds, the smaller bedroom with 2 twins. Two good sized bathrooms. Nice courtyard and back porch. You can walk to everywhere you want to go. Love this place.

About the host
Hosted by Robinson Real Estate Company
As a builder from Kentucky and life-long Apalachicola fan I wanted to build a vacation home my entire family could enjoy for years to come.
Why they chose this property
This property is the perfect retreat because you can park the car and leave parked until it is time to head home. Everything is walking distance. The property is secluded yet the river is across the street. There is a sense home with an established lot, plenty of shade, plenty of privacy, plenty of quiet. Walk one direction to the festivals in the park, another to the festivals downtown, and yet another to the fireworks on the river. There is abundant shade and enough parking to keep the boat hitched to the truck while paring three more vehicles. This is a complete home on a residential lot with refreshing shade and creature comforts. Not available long term. Never advertised on Craigslist.
What makes this property unique
Designed with families in mind yet delightful for couples. The full size washer and dryer, two full baths, Wi-Fi, expanded cable, ironing board and iron and attention to detail are unique to downtown actual home. It is not a loft but a residence. Downtown locations are idea and this particular location beats them all because it is private and spacious as well as closest to all possible events. Events downtown, or in the park, or in the marina or by the river are all easily accessible by foot. The cars stay parked. Everything is new. New beds, baths, kitchen, fenced in patio and expanded parking. Ground Floor home has wide hallways and door ways are wheelchair friendly.
