Stayed for a week in late winter. Home was cozy and a great location to downtown. Perfect for a single person or couple who would prefer to walk to restaurants and shops. Home is pet friendly but kept very clean - I don't think most people would notice if they didn't have pets. We have 2 large dogs and it was perfect for my husband, them and I. The kitchenette area is small, so if you are someone who will be there for longer than a few days and plan to cook meals, may not be what you are looking for. But overall we really enjoyed our location and stay! Host checked in on us via text a couple times to make sure we were good and didn't need anything. Would stay again!

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.

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.

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.
