Enjoyed the Forgotten Coast

This was a great place to stay as we took in Apalachicola and the area. Everything is easily within walking distance from the shops and restaurants to the Orman House. The other great thing is you are within easy driving distance of St. George Island, Port St. Joe, and some amazing beaches. The residence was very well put together, exceptionally clean, and had everything you needed for your stay. We will be sure to be back!!

Great hidden location

My wife and I love Apalachicola and try and spend a couple of weekends a year there. We planned our most recent trip last minute and got lucky to find this apartment available. It was a great place to stay, right on the edge of the historic downtown with lots of bars, shops, and restaurants all within walking distance. The apartment was bigger than expected with a 2 bedrooms and a small kitchen. We loved our stay and will be back!

Quiet Area With Everything You Need

My family and I enjoyed the comfort of this rental. It had everything we needed. It was clean and was walking distance from Downtown Apalachicola and a short distance from St. George Island. There are several steps leading up to the rental, but that did not bother us. We enjoyed all the artwork on the walls.

Long weekend in Apalachicola

We had a nice stay in the upstairs apartment. It was very clean. The living area was very comfortable and the bedroom was a good size. It was very conveniently located, within walking distance to town. A couple of things that could improve the rental - the shower is very small and could be more functional. And it would be better to have a dishwasher in the kitchen, instead of having to handwash dishes. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay for our first trip to the 'forgotten coast'.

A Lovely Loft!

This property is unique and charming. The interior was very clean and came equipped with everything we could have needed and more. The mattresses were comfortable and the host was friendly. We had a lovely stay! The only down side: This place could be challenging for someone particularly tall. The attic of this building has been BEAUTIFULLY converted into a loft style apartment (seriously, lovely work). However, there are a few low areas that our heads found on the first night as we stumbled in late. That all being said, I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone who isn't habitually clumsy.

Why they chose this property

We live in the historic neighborhood and can offer expert advice on all things local! This is also a legitimate vacation rental in the appropriate zoning. The reason why Apalachicola is so unique is that people really live here!
