Cottage was good. Older restored home with lots of character and perfectly functional. Price was on the higher side, but it was a holiday weekend last minute, and it was better than other local alternatives. Location is good, in that all of the downtown shops and restaurants are a short walk from the cottage, and it's on a nice quiet street. Parking was fine, and the area was congested from holiday parades and the like.

Quiet get away

Cottage is well equipped and easily accessible for any activities in Apalachicola or surrounding areas. I was concerned for the possibility of noise due to closeness to 98, but it was very quiet! Two retired couples easily shared the facilities and we had most everything we needed. Would stay again.
