About this property

Shopping, restaurants, quiet beach days - time for relaxing getaways in Apalach

3 private bedrooms - King bed in Master with ensuite, Queen size bed in other 2 bedrooms with a hall access bathroom. (Roll a way cot also available but please arrange in advance. Guest capacity limit is 7 individuals.

Escape to paradise in this lovely unit, equipped with all the conveniences of home. Open floor plan includes a kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances. Fully equipped for meal preparation, the kitchen is stocked with mixer, smoothie blender, toaster, microwave, crock-pot, coffee pot (Keurig Duo) and most anything else you need. The large island makes meal prep convenient and has bar stools for easy entertaining. The dining area provides seating for six.

Our home is tastefully decorated with seaside colors and themes. Ceiling fans in each bedroom and living room. Blinds in all windows and room darkening curtains in bedrooms. Bedding, linens and towels provide a spa resort feel, not commercial laundry service provisions. Bedrooms each have flat screen smart TVs and a 50" model for the living room. The master bath has a floor to ceiling tiled shower with double sink granite vanity. The second full bathroom provides a tub/shower combo. You will have everything you need including blow dryer, iron/ ironing board and a High Efficiency washer/dryer

Enjoy your morning coffee or evening beverage on your private front balcony overlooking the Bay. Watch groups of pelicans glide over the tree tops or spy the resident owl and snow white herons along the waterfront. Fishermen will pass in front of the building searching for the catch of the day. Some shrimp boats leave the Bay through "Two Mile Channel" directly across from our location and sunset is the best opportunity for beautiful photos of them. Comfy chairs with cushions as well as a quaint bistro table set are provided on the balcony. The HUGE covered deck on the side of the building has two chairs and loveseat with cushions, a large slate tile coffee table and two reclining loungers. There is also a large table and chairs to enjoy meals, snacks or play cards or board games when the weather allows. A charcoal grill is available (located under the building). Just roll out to the side yard, safely away from building and grill fresh fish from your catch or local market! Afternoons and evenings are the perfect time to catch a breeze on the deck and nap or read a book. This is also a favorite spot for drinks, a cigar or visiting with family and friends. If interested, we can connect you with a fully licensed boat captain who provides eco tours of the areas' water systems and Dolphins!

We are located within minutes of the most beautiful beaches on the "Forgotten Coast". 2 miles from Historic downtown Apalachicola. Only a 15 min drive to St. George Island and Eastpoint, home of Lynn's seafood, purveyors of genuine Apalachicola Oysters and other seafood (try the smoked mullet dip). Lynn's and The Owl Café were featured in the July 2016 issue of Southern Living. Take a right out of our driveway and you are a short 20 min drive to Indian Pass Trading Post (those Oysters again), Cape San Blas, Port St. Joe and Mexico Beach. We are about 56 miles from Panama City Beach... in case you miss the crowds.

*Please make arrangements with the owners for boat parking. There are 2 vehicle parking spaces assigned to each condo unit, 1 under building - 1 behind building.

**No pets of any kind are accepted. You will be asked to vacate the property (with no refund). Owners are often at the property and outside security cameras are in use. Anyone willfully tampering with security cameras will have their vacation terminated with no refund.

Amazing hosts and property

We came in town for a wedding and found this amazing gem. Not only was the home spotless and comfortable, the hosts made everything so seamless. Their friendly communication and accommodations were amazing. The home itself was clean and we loved seeing the water from the living room area. The downtown area is a quick drive from the property. The neighbors are also extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend staying here on your next visit to Apalachicola.

The bar has been set high for Apalachicola

This was our first stay in Apalachicola. When we first pulled in, the exterior showed some weathering typical of any gulf coast property. The building looks very nice and has clearly been given the TLC it needs but you can never keep up with that salt water breeze. It prematurely weathers your paint no matter what you do. But that is to be expected when staying on pretty much any coast and shouldn't surprise any seasoned seaside vacationer. With that being said, WOW! The exterior is still above average and the interior is immaculate! The owners have done a great job with the place, making it one of the most comfortable properties that we have stayed at. We like to vacation at Margaritaville, Diamond Resorts and other up-scale condos in the Caribbean and this place rivals anywhere that we have stayed. Kudos for providing great accommodations at a great price! It is a great place to relax after exploring the area. And spending time by the gas fireplace on the wraparound deck overlooking the bay was sublime. To top it off, the owners are a real pleasure to talk to. Thanks, Michelle and Tracey. We'll be back!

Seafood festival weekend

We had a wonderful stay. The home had everything we needed and we grilled and chilled on the big deck. We had morning coffee on a smaller deck. It was close enough to downtown Apalach. The hosts were great and responded immediately. Never met but felt like we made a friend!

Hidden Gem of the Forgotten Coast!

Michelle and Tracey were fantastic hosts from booking through our stay and after! The condo was super clean, had everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking dinners and making breakfast, kitchen and bathrooms were updated, and the condo comfortably fit 7 adults for a family get away. The location is perfect to go to the beach - only 15-20 minutes to St. George Island! The view of the bay from the balcony was great for morning coffee and the deck had plenty of room for us all to eat dinner outside. Historic Apalachicola has a ton of cute botiques, an awesome brewery (Oyster City Brewery), and our favorite restaurant from our stay (Up the Creek Raw Bar)! Michelle and Tracey made us feel at home and made sure we had a great time at their condo, which we did! We can't wait to go back next year and invited Michelle and Tracey up to our lake house if they're ever in our area! Fantastic hosts, beautful condo. Perfect long weekend with the family! Hopefully next year we can stay longer!

Very clean

The owners are super nice and are pleasant to deal with. Everything was very easy. This is the cleanest place I've ever stayed. I always have to clean everywhere I stay when I first get there, not this place it was VERY clean and I didn't have to clean anything at all. This was nice for me to be able to relax and not have to clean. I would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area. Thank you to the owners for making everything so easy and for being so nice.

Delightful stay on the Forgotten Coast

The Forgotten Coast is a wonderful place. We have been visiting for years and we like to stay in Apalachicola, a funky little fishing village, very old Florida. We found Michelle & Tracey’s place on VRBO and decided to try it, since it had three bedrooms, which we needed for three couples. It was a great experience from the get-go. Michelle was super in communicating with us. The condo was terrific, very clean, with everything we needed to cook (except for a really large pot we needed for a Low Country Boil, which you don’t usually find in any condos, so we weren’t surprised and which we had brought with us). The furnishings are nice, great outdoor areas - which we very much enjoyed. Shortly after we arrived, we received a text from Michelle asking if everything was okay. I jokingly replied that everything was great, but we needed more wine glasses - in less than five minutes, there was a knock on the door, and there was Michelle standing there with a tray of wine glasses! Highly recommend!

Vacation 2021

Nice quiet place to relax and enjoy family time. The beach was just a short drive away. This by far was the best vacation my family has had in a very long time. We loved it here and the owners were awesome! They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable! We loved their home! If I could give 10 stars I would. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle & Tracey

Host profile image
Tracey & Michelle are considered "semi-retired", although they have never been busier. Managing properties and building Adirondack furniture keeps the schedule full. Both had long careers in retail (sporting goods stores and major gas stations), security, bartending, state and federal law enforcement jobs. They both have entrepreneurial spirits, are nature and animal lovers, and are sports enthusiasts. There is no greater enjoyment now, than taking a ride with good friend and local boat Captain, Cathy Buell and watching the dolphins play!

Why they chose this property

After several visits to this quaint historic town, Tracey & Michelle decided to buy property and make Apalach a more permanent vacation spot. The town is lovely and is a simple, slower pace of life. People are friendly and there is something fun to do every minute. It's a place where neighbors help neighbors and everyone wears a smile!

What makes this property unique

This unique property is positioned in the middle of the most beautiful beaches in the white sands of the "Forgotten Coast". It is not overly crowded but busy enough to create excitement with the many fun activities all year long. No matter what time of year you visit, you will have warm to mild temperatures and leave a little room for some "Sunshine in your pocket". You will just fall in love with Apalach.
