Apalachicola Oyster House, new Dock

Hip studio style, pet friendly rustic beach cottage & former Oyster house refinery on the bay with a new dock w/ plenty of parking for your boat/trailer. There are crab traps at the dock that you can bait. We have a Yamaha gas powered golf cart that is available to rent for $55 a day as Apalachicola is a golf cart friendly town. ****🚬Smoking is not allowed inside, but is allowed outside. Please keep the discarded butts from the yard please. ****😀 Amenities include a picnic table, Weber grill, and fire pit with Adirondack chairs and a yard swing for enjoying your time outside. The yard is large with a tropical feel with tropical foliage overlooking the bay. Conveniently located 1 mile from shopping and restaurants downtown.
******PETS****
House trained , well behaved fur babies stay for $25 (one charge for 2). Would like to keep pets at 2 max. The Oyster House has a nice, big yard if you have a dog. Just bring a tie out and a runner to keep them off of Hwy 98 as there is no fence. There is a tie out in the yard if you find it satisfactory to use at your own risk. Please clean up waste after pups! 😀

Nice Get Away And Beautiful Views

Lovely out back with the dock for sunrise and sunset views! Good outdoor space for grilling and hanging out at the firepit. Comfortable for our two night visit to Apalachicola for oysters and relaxation. We enjoyed looking at all the host’s eclectic collections and historical aspects.

Short Trip from South GA

Overall was the best weekend trip we have had in a very long time. Plenty of fun to be had at and around the property. It was a little disappointing that the paddleboat was not working, as it was the initial picture that drew me to the property, and there was nowhere to swim nearby (less than 15 minutes away). However, the property was very clean, had many other fun things to use, and let's talk about the location! We sat out on the dock and saw dolphins and manatees. Fishing, paddling, golf-carting, the beach stuff, crab traps; we stayed very busy and very happy! I have been recommending it to all my friends who want a quick weekend trip.

Super fun place right on the bay

We stayed here for a week-long fishing trip over thanksgiving and had a great time. The house was clean, well provisioned and full of character just as it appears in the photos. The new dock worked well and there's a boat launch just down the street which was convenient. Communication was great with our hosts and check in/out was easy.
