Great location just across the street from the Dive Bar. In the middle of everything only steps from the Condo. Very clean and plenty of room for family of 4. Great communication and easy check in and out. Highly recommend.
It’s perfect for 2 couples to stay there. You can’t ask for a better location. We walked around town and enjoyed visiting different bars with live music and ate from the food trucks. We loved our time there and will definitely stay there again.
Nice, comfy place, and very convenient to everything Apalachicola! We had a weekend fishing trip so the property was perfect if you're going out of the marina.
We loved staying at your condo for a wedding we were attending across the street at the Ice House. Extremely clean, well stocked and location was excellent. Will definitely be booking again.
We had a great time here! The space was comfortable, clean, and conveniently located. The property manager was quick to respond to questions. The property was located next to a venue with live music.
This is the perfect location. Close to bars, shops and restaurants. A plus that is has parking. The apartment was great for two adult couples. Open concept in the living area and a fantastic, huge balcony overlooking downtown. Enjoyed our stay. The unit seemed to have everything we needed for a long weekend.
We had a great stay over Memorial Day weekend. The condo was more spacious even than the pictures suggested....a great location and layout! We used the elevator as well. Thank you~
This property was the perfect place for our family to celebrate my brothers graduating from college! We utilized everything the property had to offer - full kitchen, washer/dryer, plenty of seating, beautiful balcony, nice bathrooms and bedrooms, a working elevator, walking distance to everything in town, and close proximity to St. George Island. It couldn't have been more perfect!
We were in Apalachicola for a wedding and decided to make it a weekend trip. Good for the Soul was the perfect location! We were able to walk to restaurants, shops and bars. The space is decorated beautifully and the balcony was a great place for sitting with a glass of wine. Checking in was super easy and Jordyn was very friendly and helpful with questions about the town. We will definitely rent this space again!
What a great condo. Within walking distance of shopping and restaurants. The elevator is a HUGE plus when taking bags and groceries upstairs. The balcony is great for sitting and relaxing while enjoying morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail. Kitchen is large and well-appointed and the unit is spacious, light, and comfortable.

Excellent property! No complaints!!
The Magnolia is nicely equipped and well maintained. Easy check-in/out and secure parking. The location is perfectly central to all of the wonderful shopping, dining, and entertainment that Appalachicola has to offer. (Fun bar right next door!) If you're an early to bed person, you may want to consider that the open air bar has live music until 9:30 or 10 that can be heard clearly inside this end unit.

Loved this place!
Beautiful accommodations within walking distance to everything in Apalachicola! We loved it here. Plenty of room, well-appointed, great kitchen!! We loved the balcony, too! We would love to stay here again on our next visit. Property manager was very helpful, flexible and accommodating, too. Our only complaint - the thousand-piece lighthouse puzzle was so intricate, we were unable to finish it before we left!! Looking forward to visiting again!
It was great. Beautiful. Loved the colors and the decor and outside porch. Everything about this place was great. The one thing there that I don’t think was mentioned was the elevator and one of us has bad knee so he used it each time rather than step. Love the place!
The house was incredibly clean and perfect spot for a visit to Apalachicola. Everything you need is within a short walk. If you like Country music (we don't) there's a fun bar with live music right across the street. The only slight negative was a lot of hoops to jump through with the rental company. to get checked in.

We do require a signed Rental Agreement plus photo ID. We try to make it fast & painless ahead of time so you can begin to enjoy your vacation.
I spent a weekend at Good for the Soul with my two children (high school & college aged). The condo was comfortable and clean. The balcony is extremely spacious, we enjoyed breakfast to-go from Cafe con Leche on the balcony together. I called management with a question about how to use the elevator, and they kindly talked me through it. The elevator was a godsend for my daughter who has mobility challenges. We would definitely book again, hopefully for a longer stay next time!
Great well appointed (although could have used a larger sharper knife) condo. Unfortunately, the cleaning fluid smell permeated and overwhelmed the condo.

Hi Greg, we are happy you enjoyed your stay at Good For The Soul and hope to see you again soon in Apalachicola. The Wild Herb Soap Company is directly below GFTS and at times the soap and herb aroma can be a bit strong.

We split our time between Apalachicola in the winter and Pennsylvania in the summer. Had rented this condo for several seasons before finally deciding to buy it for ourselves.
