Quiet get away

Cottage is well equipped and easily accessible for any activities in Apalachicola or surrounding areas. I was concerned for the possibility of noise due to closeness to 98, but it was very quiet! Two retired couples easily shared the facilities and we had most everything we needed. Would stay again.
