About Property

The cottage is designed for intimacy and relaxation, featuring 1 bedroom, 1 bed, and 1 bathroom, comfortably accommodating up to 2 guests. The home is a cedar shingled shotgun-style house, hand-built by the owner using reclaimed wood sourced from both Apalachicola and New York City, giving the space a distinctive and storied character.

Enjoy a variety of amenities designed for an effortless stay:

Beyond the general amenities, the property is rich with special details. You can start your mornings sipping coffee on the screened porch over the water as the sun rises over the tree-lined pond. The home includes a fully equipped kitchen and a television for your convenience, along with a refreshing outdoor shower. For those looking to explore the water, two kayaks are included, allowing you to paddle in complete privacy or take a sunset swim. The property also offers plenty of room to park a boat, and bird, turtle, and fish-watching are amazing right from your front porch.

Located just 1.3 miles from the heart of town, you are only a couple of minutes away from the restaurants, shops, art galleries, museums, farmers market, and boat launches of Historic Apalachicola.
