Charming waterfront accommodation
We truly enjoyed our stay. The house has everything you need and Karen was super friendly and available for any questions. Don’t worry about staying on the water because even the biggest boats passing by caused very little movement. We will definitely be back and plan to tell our friends and family about this little jewel.

Amazing
First time staying in a houseboat and it was a great experience. We loved the peacefulness and beautiful views…. We also got remarried on the boat! Everything fell into place and Ms. Judi did an excellent job with short notice of vows and while exchanging vows… fish started flapping and a boat went by and cheered. We love Apalatchacola, and so did my parents… We left a huge house in St. George ti come back though Apalatchacola one last night. We missed staying on the boat again , but enjoyed touring around and having a fabulous lunch at the Owl cafe . We are very interested in coming back to the boathouses. Thank you , Karen .
