Apalachicola, Florida
This property is a unique and well appointed floating condo with all updated features. It has two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a double bed. There is 1.5 bathrooms which share a shower but still retain complete privacy for each bedroom's occupants. The kitchen has all of the features of a modern home such as a full size refrigerator, new stove and microwave. Small appliances include a coffee maker (coffee provided), blender, toaster, electric can opener along with dishes and glasses and more. The kitchen surfaces are solid Corian with indoor dining seating available for 4. All furnishings are very upscale. The art features a local artist, Tom Tiffin, who has captured a very authentic portrayal of a local shrimp fishing boat. The best feature is the large front porch which offers a spectacular views of both sunrises by looking to the right and sunsets on your left. There are always either boats, fish or birds to view from your porch. Today, I saw 2 dolphins swim by. This area includes seating for 6.. The all electric 950 sq. ft. houseboat offers all of the modern systems including an easily controlled air conditioner/heating system It has an aluminum hull and is surrounded by a new floating dock system which makes getting off and on a breeze. A comfortable temperature can be maintained at all times of the year by merely opening the front and back doors to the river breezes. This is indeed a wonderful way to spend a relaxing and comfortable vacation.
The property has great views. The porch was great however just know neighbors on both sides are just feet away and hear and see everything so no privacy while on the porch . We were very surprised how dirty it was considering we paid over 500$ per night. At that price we did expect the quality to fit the price. I took pictures and showed them to the owner. The mattress cover had stains and hair on it. Their was hair and dust on the baseboards through both bathrooms and the area around the trash can was filthy. There as dirt and grime around the blinds and windows and some of the floor boards were broken as well. If needed I can submit pictures. My suggestion is to have the place professional cleaned !
Far surpassed my expectations. Ease and convienece to local restaurants and shopping. Will definitely recommend and definitely rebook in the future. Thank you for an awesome stay! The Kempfs
We had the best time! The house boat was a great experience. Loved the wildlife! We even had a couple of manatees come right up to the houseboat! Great local food! We will definitely be back! 10/10
This was our third stay on the houseboat and it didn’t disappoint. The views and the location are fantastic.
We had a fantastic vacation!! The property was excellent!! I highly recommend this place! We travel all the time and this is definitely where we coming back. We enjoyed the property so much we didn’t really get to see the area. We will be back this summer and hopefully can get this property again!
This was our first trip visiting Apalachicola. We were excited to stay on the Southern Comfort and it did not disappoint. The houseboat was stocked with everything we needed and more. It was very clean, spacious and well decorated. We enjoyed the quaintness of the boat and everything Apalachicola had to offer. That location was perfect!
My fishing buddy and I loved sitting on the porch watching the tides go by. Caught a fish from the porch. Our captain picked us up at the porch. Walked to great restaurants. Yep coming back
Southern Comfort did not disappoint. We enjoyed the accommodations- especially the covered deck. The use of the kayaks was appreciated and the ready to use fishing poles were a nice gesture. Highly recommend!
My husband and I stayed on the houseboat for a long weekend for a destination wedding. All the guests were sprinkled throughout properties in Apalachicola. The deck is truly a spot to enjoy all day long this time of year (February) and we were up every morning at 630 to experience the breathtaking sunrises. It’s peaceful, walking distance to everything. I gave it 4 stars for cleanliness for it’s a boathouse. I wouldn’t expect it to be 5 stars. It’s charming, not perfect, and we enjoyed every minute of our stay!
We had a wonderful time on Karen's boat. We cant wait to come again.
