In the Heart of Apalachicola~Walk Everywhere~Ebony Rouge Suite~Majestic Jewel

Your review is music to our ears! So glad you were pleased!

We look forward to your next visit!

It was such a pleasure meeting you both! Greg and I love when our guests enjoy their experience and say "we will be back"! Hopefully we will see you in the near future! Try Autumn Moon Suite next time! Spacious suite with king size bed on the 2nd floor!

We love hearing about the comfort of our beds! Guests say that they get better sleep here than they have had in years! That is our goal! Home away from home! Thank you Pamela! Hopefully you take the path back to us one day!

Hi Veronica, We are so happy that you enjoyed your experience! Next time you should stay in the Autumn Moon Suite on the 2nd floor. It is a guest favorite as well! Funny you should mention the black out drapes! I literally just hung them before your visit! Thanks for being a part of our home's story! June & Greg

We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay but upset to hear that you were cold in July! There aren't controls in the suite because we don't want another guest to freeze out their neighbor suite and we try to balance it ourselves. We would have happily adjusted the temperature to make you more comfortable! In the manual in your suite as well as posted in several places we request that we are contacted if a guest needs anything to make them more comfortable. We strive to make sure our guests are comfortable and happy! We wish you had let us know! Next time don't hesitate! Thanks, June

Oh Ninna, You are the best! We really enjoyed your visit! Hopefully you will be back soon! You should try Autumn Moon next time! June & Greg

We love input from our guests! In our photos and description we try very hard to show that the bath has a huge soaking tub with sit down shower utilizing a hand-held shower sprayer. I can see why some guests might find this difficult. Our desire is to insure comfort for all who visit! How can we make the details more clear so that guests can choose the suite that best suits their needs?

Our first 3 star review! I knew it was possible that one day we would get less than a 5 star but I wish it was justified so that we would know how we could make improvements. This guest clearly walked into the Majestic Jewel unsettled due to the bad weather. A few of his issues could have been cleared up before making the reservation. Nowhere on our VRBO listing does it say anything about being a Bed & Breakfast! We like to show southern hospitality by offering guests a little lagniappe; coffee, tea, bottle water, cold drinks, oatmeal, milk & cereal. My husband & I are in residence about 70% of the month & really enjoy meeting the guests and I regret that he was disappointed that we were out of town. When restoring the Majestic Jewel, we added many modern amenities including 6 bathrooms. In a 10,000 square foot, 110 year old home, one might expect that it may take a couple of minutes for hot water to reach the front of the house. After reading his review, we actually timed it. In the evenings when few people are showering, it took 3 minutes to reach the Ebony Rouge, mornings were quicker. As for the shower, when he reserved this suite our listing stated that the bathroom had a huge soaking tub with a European sit-down shower (with spray nozzle). If he read our listing he should have been surprised to find a shower in the suite because we did not have one! We recently added the "shower closet" to please the guests who wanted a stand-up shower. It is a bit quirky because it opens up into the bedroom but it does enable guests to have a choice. We do not expect anyone to use it if they are uncomfortable with it. Smart TV's can be difficult to maneuver if one is not accustom to them. In each suite we have the instructions & channel line up in the guest manual located in the suite. We are also available to help as needed. As for our kitchenette being too sterile, we aren't sure what he meant so I will move on. We are the most baffled by the comment that we could make the outside of the house more appealing! The Majestic Jewel is one of the most beautiful homes in Apalachicola! Not only is the exterior immaculate but the grounds are well maintained. Our desire is that we meet and exceed the expectations of our guests! In our listings, I try to be clear & thorough so that guests know what to expect. In reality, I realize that we cannot please everyone, but we can sure try!
