Good communication with the host. Amenities said soap was available, but it's a small bottle of hand soap, so, if staying here best to bring your own shampoo and body wash. The tub drain was slow-draining. This was reported to the host before leaving. The cottage was very comfortable and clean. All appliances worked well. Easy walking distance to town. Overall, a pleasant stay. Easy parking on the street.

Charming, beautifully restored cottage in a great location, perfect walking distance for all of the quaint downtown shops and restaurants. The house was spotless, the decor welcoming. Only a short drive to the beautiful beaches of St. George Island. Nice size for a couple or small family with sofa bed. Thank you for making our stay awesome!

Oyster city time
Nice little home. Sparse sitting arrangement. Good kitchen, NEEDS MORE CURTAINS or SHADES, other guests can see in some windows. Parking issue-At least 1 parking spot should be designated for House exclusively. great Town and history, 2nd time staying here. May not return to this home due to mentioned . but We love the Forgotten Coast!

no connection with the outside world-- almost like sensory deprivation
the property was good; but as said-- no TV, no newspaper, no computer access, no radio-- it would have been helpful to have known these things in advance. I can see why the South has turned Republican.

Parking Account
The parking was less than desirable and could have been due to the paving of the street over. There was no parking for a boat as had been told.

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.

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.
