First trip to Apalachcola
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!

You will not be disappointed
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

Perfect weekend
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!

Those sunrises ????
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!
