Welcome to your bright and breezy home base in the heart of historic Apalachicola. This 3-bedroom, 1-bath coastal retreat sleeps up to 6 guests and captures the spirit of Old Florida with a colorful, boho-surf twist. Step inside and instantly feel your shoulders drop and your vacation mode switch on.

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. Beachy quilts andlocal inspired watercolor art celebrate Apalachicola’s charm - from its iconic oysters to its easygoing Gulf spirit. 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

Front Bedroom: Queen bed with a cozy coastal quilt and soft linens - wake up to morning light and the promise of a slow coffee on the porch.

Middle Bedroom: Another comfy queen bed, artful details, and vintage-inspired touches that make it feel like home.

Back Bedroom: Two twin beds tucked into a bright, cheerful space - perfect for kids, friends, or anyone who loves laid-back comfort.

Each room feels relaxed, light-filled, and thoughtfully decorated with local flair.

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.

Security Cameras on Property

For the safety and protection of both guests and the home, exterior security cameras are installed around the property. Cameras are located on the front porch, side of the house, back porch, and back yard. These cameras monitor exterior areas only and there are no cameras inside the home.

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. It’s historic, soulful, artistic, and full of small wonders: live oaks draped in Spanish moss, salty breezes off the bay, and watercolor sunsets that make you pause mid-sentence. This cottage is your cozy, creative home to soak it all in.

Come stay where the pace slows, the colors glow, and every day feels like a seaside daydream.

    Rachel's charming cottage is a gem! Spotless and so inviting, we felt at home right away. It is nestled in a quiet, residential neighborhood within walking distance of many restaurants and downtown shops. Lots of history in Apalachicola with near by beaches and parks to explore. Rachel's clear and prompt communication made it easy for us to relax and enjoy a carefree vacation.

    THIS WAS A STRANGE STAY. THE BATHROOM SINK DRAIN WAS FILLED WITH MOLD, THERE WERE FLASHING MOTION DETECTOR LIGHTS THAT WENT OFF AND ON THROUGH OUT THE NIGHT. THE OWNERS WERE UNABLE TO SHARE AUTO ENTRY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LOCKING DOOR. KITCHEN ILL EQUIPED FOR PROPER COOKING. THE PROPERTY NEEDS LOVE AND REPAIRS AND CLEANING OUT AND RE SUPPLIED. SOAP DISPENSERS DIRTY AND EMPTY, BUT GENERALLY CLEAN. RECOMMEND COTTON LINENS.
