About the host

Hosted by Karen Hoff

Host profile image
I fell in love with Apalachicola a couple of years ago and decided to make it my home. I have spent the last 20 years renovating a 1850s Victorian home located in central New Jersey along with raising my 2 sons. I am an avid history buff and have only begun to research the historical importance of the Florida panhandle.

Why they chose this property

After renting the Reelaxation (the adjacent houseboat to the Southern Comfort), I found that staying aboard a houseboat was so relaxing that I wanted to spend more time. The amount of activity going by on the water was so interesting from the commercial fishing boats going out for a successful trip to luxury yachts just out for fun. Watching the dolphins swim by, the pelicans perching on the nearby posts and birds of all varieties diving for their food, it is truly a never ending experience.

What makes this property unique

I choose this property for its sensational views of the sunrises and sunsets from the front porch. A relaxing afternoon floating on the houseboat while watching all of the activity or just enjoying the cool breezes with a good book. The location is ideal with easy walking to the area shops which feature local artists' work and a wonderful variety of local restaurants. The sandy beaches of St. George Island are only minutes away by car. There are several golf courses located in the area as well. But, of course, the best fishing is in Apalachicola with a variety of fishing guides.
