Florida can be rustic and peaceful!!

This location is a Dream Come True!! The location is ideal; quiet, walking distance to church, fine dining, beautiful ocean views, shopping in a quaint small town of yesteryear. Our host made the stay so nice, the VRBO home / apt is really cute, with everything one could need to cook up a nice meal, and relax! We are country bumpkins and really liked the high board walk in town, and got to see a 6 foot alligator sunning himself on a log, on the water's edge below us! We ate oysters for the first time, the restaurant: Up a Creek, baked them for me, but many eat them raw. The visitor center is very helpful and knowledgeable. We went over to St. George Island to enjoy the ocean and bay views, so private and Beautiful!! Thank you

Fun time at Yule Tide

Had a great first time visit to Apalachicola. The location of the loft is just perfect. Walkable everywhere and the bikes are available if it is too far to walk. The town itself is quintessential Old Florida. Like you've gone back in time. Beautiful gulf views everywhere you look!

Memorial Day Trip

We had the pleasure of staying at the Unique Loft Experience in downtown Apalachicola, and I must say it was an exceptional getaway. From the moment I stepped inside, I was impressed by the cleanliness and attention to detail. The loft lived up to its description on Vrbo and then some.

Close to downtown

The property was clean and relaxing and quiet. Easy walk to restaurants and the water. We look forward to visiting Apalachicola again and staying at the property. If we stayed longer we would have used the bikes and the outdoor grill that was provided. The garden area was relaxing to sit in the mornings with coffee.

Perfect location to enjoy the old town and riverfront eateries. Space is architecturally excellent and furnishings are a comfortable and fun blend of styles. Fenced in patio entrance protects you from the brightness of the 24 hour service station adjacent to the property. Would rent again.

Awesome location.

I have stayed at Yuletide annually for several years. I enjoy the location in Apalachicola. I spend my days on the beach on SGI. I love staying in Apalachicola because there are more restaurants, shops, and entertainment. Everything is in walking distance. The private parking space is very convenient to the loft. I love staying here.

Fantastic place to stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Yule Tide! It was charming and had the perfect amount of space for 2 people with all the conveniences you find at home! Very easy to find and the location was in walking distance of so much to do (shops, restaurants, etc.). Will definitely stay there again if it’s available during my next trip to Apalachicola.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Yule

Host profile image
My husband and I visited Apalachicola in June of 2013 and stayed at the loft; we have been searching for the quintessential Southern town – unspoiled by high-rise condos and chains – we found it in Apalach. We loved Apalach and the loft so much, we leapt at the chance to become the new owners and plan to continue to share the loft with visitors when we are not there.
The former owner is an artist and business woman who expertly renovated the space into the lovely loft you see pictured on the web site. With its exposed brick inside, expansive Cypress woodwork and airy high ceilings, the loft is a welcoming haven for visitors. It has the charm of downtown Apalach right outside its door, but also has privacy with an entry through a charming gated courtyard. Many restaurants and shops in the community have been featured in Southern Living, Coastal Living, and Wine Spectator. But what really sold us is the charm of the local residents. Nice people and genuinely kind with visitors.
Apalach is a walk-around-town with a collection of interesting and quaint shops. We’d be glad to share our favorites when you contact us. Feel free to reach out with any questions and we will be glad to provide more information about both Apalachicola and the loft.

Why they chose this property

We were fortunate to have the opportunity to buy the loft when it went on the market shortly after we stayed there for a long weekend; we hope you will enjoy the charm that both the loft and Apalach offer. Enjoy -

What makes this property unique

A unique living experience awaits at YuleTide. Enjoy the airy loft, which looks out on your private courtyard. Walk to award winning restaurants and wine bars. Unique shopping, antiquing, and art galleries await you. World class fishing and wildlife sightseeing all a couple blocks away at the marina.
