Evidently we are in a minority but our stay was bad from start to finish. Walk 50 yards to our “ cottage “ over brick walkways that were uneven. Wonder shutters and extension cords everywhere. I’ll stop with that….too much to include. We forfeited our second night and drove 450 miles home.

My wife and I were in Apalachicola for my niece's wedding at the Gibson hotel. She has trouble going upstairs so this was a perfect place for her. Very nice. Very clean in a beautiful setting. I would highly recommend this place for any couple coming to Apalachicola!

Cute pet friendly spot

A great clean spot to spend the night within walking distance to downtown. The decor was perfect and it was exactly what we were looking for! Only thing of note was the mattress being a little bit on the soft side. Otherwise nothing of note!

Escape to the forgotten coast

Cute yet efficient layout with everything you need for a week away from the rat race. Right next to a historic cemetery with many tales to tell.Walk to everything the town has to offer. Very quiet and comfortable. We’ll definitely be back. In fact we already booked the carriage house next door.

Perfectly private in-historic district night away

We needed a midweek clean, cozy & cool place to stay during a home remodel project -- reached out 24 hours in advance and Patrick/Lauren were not only responsive but truly accommodating. Gorgeous main property hidden behind ivy covered brick garden walls with path to our private cottage. A perfect little 'tiny house' with just what we needed for an early check in, AC, kitchenette, and just-as-pictured stay in the cottage. Will definitely keep in mind when we have out of town guests/overflow or simply want to get away from day-to-day! Highly recommended!

Cozy cottage with beautiful coastal decor. Thoughtful touches throughout that made our brief visit very comfortable. Bed and mattress were great we slept soundly. Air conditioning was fantastic after walking around in the heat! Very nice location as you can easily walk to restaurants and local shops within minutes. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Great small town experience

Apalachicola is a great little town that still has the small and historic fishing and lumber vibe, without the touristy crowds of our hometown of St Augustine. Lots to see and do. You can actually walk five or six blocks to town. While so many Vrbo properties say "walk to town," that means a mile or so. Ironically, the owners are from Oxford, MS, where we had rented such a walk-to-town place, and found it not-so-walk friendly. We were surprised at the lack of number and quality of restaurants. Three meals at The Owl was the most consistent, though. Despite a water quality problem making the water smell like sulphur (apparently a lingering problem since Helene hurricane damage to infrastructure and no plans to fix it until July), host Lauren delivered so much bottled water that we never needed to ask. Great communication with host. The cottage itself was "darling" to use my wife's term. Which is a high honor. If you are pet owners, the back door opens up to an alley along the historic cemetery. BTW, do check out the cemetery. All in all, we consider this one of our best Vrbo experiences.

I have been visiting Apalachicola for years but my friend had never been. I found this cottage on Vrbo and it looked perfect for a restful couple of days to get away. The cottage was perfect , clean & comfortable. Very quiet and close to everything. Would definitely stay again and again. Owners were so easy to deal with , we had no problems.
