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 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.

This unit is beautiful! The location is fantastic for getting around to all the shops, restaurants and bars. And the view from the balcony is phenomenal for those evenings when you want to sit outside and watch the boats come up & down the river. Our host, Betsey, has thought of everything you could possibly need plus extras you wouldn't expect. She was great with her communication and ensuring we were well taken care of. The elevator in the unit was a welcome perk for the members in our family that needed to use it due to physical limitations. You cannot go wrong with staying here. In fact, I very much recommend it. We will be back in the future.

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!

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!

Our stay was perfect in every way! Mrs. Betsey was the epitome of a gracious hostess and it was obvious that much thought had gone into ensuring guests' needs were met and exceeded! The location was ideal and allowed for us to walk everywhere- dining, shopping, etc. I give this property 10 stars and wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else the next time we are in the area!

About the host

Why they chose this property

We love being in the heart of the Apalachicola commercial district! This town is a real working fishing locale. You can literally sit on the balcony and watch shrimp boats come & go as well as big game fishing boats and yachts. We have shops, restaurants and coffee shops nearby including the same building. We are down the street from two live entertainment venues and bars. Something for everyone!

What makes this property unique

Location! Location! Location! You’ll love watching all the activity from the spacious balcony. Lots of upscale amenities (read reviews), top notch furnishings and of course 4 complementary bicycles with gear. The bikes make it easy to explore Apalachicola. About a 12 minute drive across the bridges gets you beachside at St George Island. Parking is plentiful around town, but most people walk. Golf cart rentals available nearby and they will drop off! New heat & air. Adjust thermostat to suit your comfort (thermostat is programmed to allow temperatures between 68 to 78 degrees).
