Great little cottage for coastal visit

Neat little cottage that looked to be recently refurbished with very good quality appliances, good water pressure and two outdoor sitting/relaxing areas. Right down town, close to nice eating places and just few minutes from St Georges Island. Our third visit to Apalachicola but first time here. Will plan to go back again.

Love the oyster cottage

Second we’ve stayed at oyster cottage and just love! Clean, bright, well cared for, cozy- small cottage but rooms nicely done and well maintained- so easy to get around town from this location! Definitely a favorite place to stay in Apalachiacola plus we were able to bring our dog- a bonus!

The cottage was clean and just a few steps from downtown. Even though it was so close it was very quiet and comfortable. The yard was beautifully landscaped and we had everything we needed.

Another great visit

4th or 5th time we've stayed at the yellow cottage and it was perfect as always. Comfy bed, perfect location and having the washer/dryer is wonderful. We always buy catfood and feed the neighborhood kitties. The black and white one is especially affectionate! We'll be back to stay again.

I thought this cottage was perfect for our short Christmas visit. It worked out great for my dog and I. The fenced in area was a great surprise that allowed my dog some exploration space. I’ll be booking again!

Just Simply The Best!!

I am actually honored to write this review. I have used VRBO on numerous occasions and I can honestly say this was THE BEST rental I have ever had. Small cottage feel that was extremely clean with new appliances, well appointed, with comfortable bet. All within a very easy walk around town. The owner has thought about everything to make you very comfortable. I will definitely be returning to this location for an extended stay. Don’t hesitate to rent this property!! Thank you to the owner!!!

Great location for couples!

This property was exactly as described, appropriately equipped, and in the perfect location for staying in Apalach and walking anywhere you’d like to go. We ran into one minor snafu checking in and the property owner was quick respond and resolved the issue almost immediately so we were able to enjoy our stay without issue. The only item travelers should be aware of is that there is an adjoining property that can be rented separately by another party. This would have been awkward for sharing the patio space, walkways, and gated entrance with strangers but an amazing arrangement if you are traveling with friends. Bottom line: recommended for sure! We hope to stay here again.
