Nature Experience
The Houseboat was amazing, relaxing , walking distance to historical town. There is shopping , restaurants , bookstores and boating. The St George Island beach is 30 minutes away . Nature right out your screen porch or open dock with birds , fish , alligators and huge turtles. Marshlands right across from Houseboat . There are great views sunsets with Shrimp-boats going past . Abundance of fresh seafood from the Gulf . We will be back !!!

Relaxing getaway!
We had a relaxing, long weekend on the General Lee! The weather was beautiful which allowed us to maximize our use of the screened in area and observation deck. The sunrises were breathtaking! We enjoy craft beer, and Oyster City Brewing was a short walk away. This was a nice plus for us! Overall, our stay was enjoyable and different than the normal accommodations we would stay in. If we’re ever back in Apalachicola, we would look to stay here again.

Needed to get away
Only reason there are 4 stars for cleanliness is there are sugar ants and the screens on the back porch are buggy. I’m not sure you could do anything about that situation since you are on a boat in the water. This did not bother us. We loved every evening and morning sitting on the porch watching the manatees play. The shrimp boats go by which was really cool. There is also that upper deck which lets you see farther. We only used the bed in the master. It was clean and comfortable. You have to be prepared with the bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallway for the small house/camper type living. The kitchen was furnished very well. The grounds were secure. We took a day trip to St George Island and we spent a day walking downtown. Lots of nice stores. Would stay here again.

Wonderful Birthday!
We really enjoyed staying on the General Lee! The houseboat was clean and very well appointed. Karen met us on arrival, walked us through the houseboat and offered some great recommendations for breakfast (Chowders) and dinner (The Station). We are planning a return visit in May!
