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.

Love the oyster cottage

Second we’ve stayed at oyster cottage and just love! Clean, bright, well cared for, cozy- small cottage but rooms nicely done and well maintained- so easy to get around town from this location! Definitely a favorite place to stay in Apalachiacola plus we were able to bring our dog- a bonus!

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.
