Fenced yard and deck for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Street parking for 1 vehicle. Beautiful, chef's dream kitchen perfect for cooking up that fresh catch. 15 minute drive to the pristine beaches of St. George's Island. **Note this property also has a guesthouse on the premises called Oystertown Loft that is a rental as well and shares the back porch common area. When available, you can rent both spaces to accommodate larger parties.

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.
