We were well pleased with our accommodations at the Apalachicola Getaway. Location is perfect for exploring the town and condo is very attractive and comfortable for visiting. The balcony deck faces the bay and it is a treat to sit on the balcony and look across the water, watching the moon rise or watch the pelicans in the early morning.

My husband and I had the most wonderful stay at the Apalachicola Getaway on Water Street. Betsey is an exceptional host! Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, creating a space that is stylish, comfortable, inviting and accommodating. We especially loved starting our mornings with coffee on the full balcony, watching the sunrise over the river. In the evenings, it was just as relaxing to unwind outside, enjoying the views. There is live music across the street but it wrapped up at a very reasonable time and didn’t bother us a bit. It was the perfect escape, and we would absolutely stay here again. 10/10 recommend!

Wonderful stay in Apalachicola. Betsy, our host, takes great pride in her property. This is NOT your average rental. Beautifully decorated & every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. Location close to town & the waterfront. Very walkable, or use the bikes provided. Communication was excellent, check-in/check-out were a breeze. Would happily stay here again.

The balcony views were absolutely breathtaking — perfect for watching the boats head out in the morning. In the evenings, you can relax and enjoy the sound of live music from the bar across the street. The location is ideal, within walking distance to everything.

This was the best Vrbo that we have ever stayed at and we have booked several different ones. I loved all of the extras that were included the coffee in the bedroom and also just other little touches that were very nice. I was a little disappointed in the carpet in the bedrooms. It seemed pretty dirty or stained and also there was quite a bit of dust around on some of the tables and things really nothing to complain about just wanted to let the host know that maybe she could check these things out. Thanks for the bikes and all the beach equipment. Hopefully we will be booking again next year.

This place is beautiful. The furnishings are awesomely elegant (for vrbo) and there is "real" art work on the walls. It has everything you could want (including sharp knives in the kitchen!). We had a great time hosting thanksgiving for 10 people and enjoyed the place as well as the company. The only negative aspect is that there is a seafood facility across the street that has noisy compressors. You only really hear it when you are on the balcony and you do get used to it though.

Wonderful place and owner!!

Absolutely enjoyed our stay at Apalachicola Getaway! Clean, comfortable with great amenities. Enjoyed dinner in town and having a night cap with live music at High Five Dive right across the street was an added bonus! Before we departed we enjoyed coffee on the patio watching the fish/shrimp boats headed out. Great little getaway!

Fantastic location and so nice!

We were in town for a few days of wildflower hunting in the National Forest and chose Betsey’s condo for our stay. We fell in love with it! So wonderfully decorated and so well equipped. Our host thought of everything we might need and provided it all! From the wonderful selection of tea and coffee to the snacks provided, it was all simply perfect. I will be staying here again sometime!
