Recent Reviews in Apalachicola

Coastal 3 BR Townhome overlooking St Joe Bay/Golf Cart/Pools/Steps to Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Very new and clean unit. The golf cart was a nice touch even though we elected to not use it. Just across the road from the beach but you can take the golf cart or drive and park by the road. It's just a few minutes drive to get to Windmark proper or Port St Joe. The host was very timely with communications and responding to questions which is always important if you're traveling from out of town."

The Montgomery by Visit Apalach

10/10 Excellent

"So convenient to restaurants and shops…right in the middle of Apalachicola. We had such a great time. We highly recommend The Station for lunch or dinner, the Apalachicola Coffee & Chocolate Company for coffee and sweets, and the High Five Dive Bar for a good time."

New decks! Gulf views, pool & Bch chairs, dog & kid friendly, affordable rates!

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean. The pool was great and it is right outside our balcony. If i had to complain it would just be the ants in the kitchen and 2nd fl bathroom but it really was a great place to stay just."

Comfy family friendly house, short stroll to the beach!

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great house, and the host is amazing. We had a delay at the start due to Hurricane Isaias, and we contacted the host to extend at the end. We offered to pay for the extra day and were told "stay at no cost". Not typical host behavior. The house is in a neighborhood with the beach, pools, playgrounds, and other amenities within easy walking distance.The area is easily one of the best "beach" experiences we've ever had. Low traffic, lots of great restaurants, amazing beaches (definitely recommend the State Park), and a "chill" vibe. Absolutely no fighting for a place to set up on the beach. Every place we went, we were met with friendly people. I strongly recommend this home, this host, and this slice of Gulf heaven."
