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.

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.

Old town “Charm” !!

We absolutely loved this place ! We spent every morning and every evening on the back deck enjoying all the natural beauty and tranquillity, that seems to want you to remember back when, even though you’ve never been here before. Had every thing we needed and then some. Host are top notch, clean home, comfortable bed-all we could want. Definitely we will be returning and soon ! ** We drove the short distance to spend a day in town and drove to Indian Pass one day and we enjoy them both but the evenings was saved for watching for the dolphins and an old man in a rigidity boat to pull up with his daily catch of fresh oysters to this wonderful “Oyster House”!!

Friends fishing trip

Location is perfect for a fishing trip with friends. The dock is protected by the island in front of it. So it’s perfect for mooring your boat in a protected area . Great location to catch your own bait. And a nice public boat ramp is just down the street . We plan on renting this property again in the near future

We have a tradition of watching the fireworks from our boat in Apalachicola. This was our first time staying here and it totally met our expectations. Photos and description matched the property very well. We traveled around by boat to Half-shell Dockside for lunch and enjoyed nearby sandbars/beaches to swim. Our kids enjoyed baiting the crab traps provided and couldn’t wait to see what they caught. We fished right from the dock and caught redfish, trout and catfish as well. My 5 year old mastered the skill of kayaking/paddle boarding and that was so cute to watch! The mornings were spent watching the boat parade of fishing boats head out at sunrise. The house was well stocked with everything needed to accommodate cooking/grilling at the house, which we mostly did rather than eating out to much. The ONLY con was no dishwasher but that wasn’t a huge deal. I’m not above handwashing but not really fun on vacation. We just made a quick trip to the store for disposable plates and such to cut down on that. Overall, great location, view and communication with the owners! We are already planning our next trip to the Oyster House! Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven with my family♥️
