The Vibe
Every corner of this cheerful cottage feels like a love letter to the coast. The interior doors glow in soft sunset hues, from coral to golden tangerine.

Sunshine spills through big windows, keeping the whole home light and happy. It’s peaceful, playful, and full of personality: a true one-of-a-kind stay.
Where You’ll Sleep

The Heart of the Home - The Kitchen
Step into a color-drenched kitchen in “Surfin’ Blue”, where you can whip up fresh oysters, shrimp, or your favorite coastal comfort foods. It’s fully stocked with everything you need - cookware, dishes, utensils, coffee maker, and more - for easy breakfasts or sunset dinners at home. The vibe? Pure joy in every color.
Outdoor Spaces
Screened Front Porch: The perfect perch for your morning coffee or evening glass of wine - no bugs invited! You’ll love listening to the quiet buzz of the neighborhood as the sun dips low.
Back Deck: Shaded and relaxing during cooler months - a sweet spot to unwind after exploring the coast or strolling downtown.
Spacious Yard: There’s plenty of room in the large side and back yards to park a small boat or trailer, so you can easily launch into Apalachicola Bay for a day on the water.
The Neighborhood
Nestled in Apalachicola’s historic district, this cottage blends right into the friendly, easygoing rhythm of this beloved Gulf town. You’ll be just minutes from downtown, where mom-and-pop restaurants, quirky local shops, and fine boutiques line the charming streets. Wander to a cafe, browse local art galleries, or sample fresh Gulf seafood straight off the boat. Locals wave, neighbors chat - it’s the kind of place that still feels wonderfully real.
Explore & Experience
You’re just a short drive from St. George Island’s sugar-white beaches, scenic kayak trails, and the untouched beauty of the Apalachicola National Forest. Spend your days shelling, paddle boarding, or simply meandering through town with a cup of locally roasted coffee in hand. Here, life slows down in the best possible way.

The Magic of Apalachicola
Apalachicola isn’t a flashy beach town - and that’s exactly why people fall in love with it.
