Overall clean, industrial but nautical. Our biggest notice is none of the pics show the bathroom with no wall or door. You can see the "kitchen" from the toilet. No one mentioned it either.
Older folks may have trouble with the steps too (we did). Very steep and skinny.
Overall not a bad place to stay, right on the river.

Loved the room and location. Enjoyed the restaurant and bar downstairs. Nice to launch boat but that was costly then boat wouldn’t crank. We will be back. Kathy was very nice in getting us in room. A weekend we won’t forget!

Perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. Studio had everything we needed and was well maintained. Loved having convenient access to the on-site restaurant and bar. Live music each night was fantastic!

The accommodations were perfect! The loft was roomy, clean, and really quiet despite being right next to a working marina and waterfront restaurant. Parking was never an issue, and you were in short walking distance to downtown Appalachicola. It was a great stay and I highly recommend it!

Only thing I would suggest is creating some privacy too the bath. A screen, a curtain, or a wall. Just a suggestion.

A good place to stay. It was fun to be at a marina, seeing the boats (and pelicans) coming and going. The co-located bar and restaurant were an added bonus. Positives: Bright, cheerful, spacious room. Nice décor. Comfortable bed. No noise in the apartment at night from the bar. Suggestions: The kitchen is stocked in an extremely limited way -- one drinking glass, one wine glass, one spoon. You should have at least two of those. As others have commented, the wifi is slow and a bit spotty. And, good grief, please put up at least a curtain to separate the bathroom from the rest of the apartment. Togetherness is all fine and good, but not at every moment!

This is a second floor loft like room. Very clean and modern. The place is quiet, despite the bar with live music downstairs. Place to really unwind. Internet is slow (due to concrete walls). room is spacious and comfortable. Shower is huge ! But be aware that there is no door to the shower or toilet. Bar downstairs is fun with very friendly people and good food.

This property was very cute and comfy! Having the restaurant downstairs was a plus! Great food! The only thing I would suggest is more towels in the bathroom and a door please! There was no privacy in the bathroom.

We enjoyed our stay here and the close proximity to everything Apalachicola has to offer; however, I would suggest window coverings.

The best thing that this rental had going for it was the location during the day only because at night all of the ladies of the night and predators came out and it just wasn't safe to go outside down a narrow path of about 20 steps alone to smoke and let your pets relieve themselves. I cleaned the room upon arrival because of all the sand that was left by the prior renter. And when we asked for fresh towels on day 2 of 4 we were told that it was a "self serve" rental and if we wanted clean towels then we needed to go purchase some. We had 2 towels, 2 wash cloths and 2 hand towels. The kitchen had 2 coffee cups and 2 wine glasses, period. We could have stayed at a 2 star hotel and recieved better treatment. I will never stay another vrbo that this rental agency has anything to do with. I am a registered nurse with over 30 years of experience and this was just an unpleasant situation from day 1. So beware and I hope that you enjoy climbing and descending stairs with one side only with a hand rail and the steps were so narrow and steep that we had to turn our feet sideways just to keep from falling. The hallways and staircase are not air conditioned and the AC is unlike any that I have ever seen in my almost 60 years of living and traveling all over this world. Painted cement floors. Track lighting except for 2 lamps. White washed boards throughout that had scribblings all over the place. Tiny refrigerator. No stove. Tiny microwave. 5 star prices for a 2 star room. Bathroom has no door. Studio room without any frill's.

We had a wonderful stay and this location is a perfect home base for exploring the Forgotten Coast. We took a half day inshore fishing trip out first day, explored historical points of interest in Apalachicola on day two, and visited Indian Pass/Cape San Blas on day three. Four nights total here, and it was great place to recover after each day. Was never disturbed at all from noise outside at the busy marina with a (really nice) water front, open air bar and restaurant. Check in was easy, and Kathy was very accessible for any questions we had. I didn't experience any Wi-Fi problems, I logged into work a couple times per day to stay ahead of the emails while I was out. This place was super clean, super convenient, and the king sized bed was the most comfortable on which I've ever slept. What brand was it? 😀. Just like the pictures and description said. Would definitely stay here again.

Really nice marina, restaurant and VRBO. The best part of the experience is that the locals were extremely friendly and welcoming and the town is just perfectly sized - not too large, not too small. We will be back.
