Apalachicola Oyster House, new Dock, FREE paddle boat, 2 Kayaks, 2 paddle boards

Hip studio style, pet friendly rustic beach cottage & former Oyster house refinery on the bay with a brand bew dock, gas powered Golf cart rental at $50 a day w/ plenty of parking for your boat/trailer. 🚬Smoking is not allowed inside but is allowed outside. Just please keep the discarded butts from the yard please. 😀 Amenities include a paddle boat, 2 kayaks, and 2 paddle boards and life jackets on premises. Beach chairs and umbrella for your use. The yard is large with a tropical feel, foliage, picnic table, swing overlooking the bay. Conveniently located 1 mile from shopping and restaurants downtown.
********************************************
The space can be arranged as a king bed with a new pillow top mattress or arranged as 2 twin beds when separate beds are desired such as fishing camp. There is also a sofa/sleeper than can sleep 2 with either arrangement. Just message me with the arrangement that you like. Unless prior arrangements are made, the set up will be a king size bed and a queen size sleeper sofa.
******PETS****
House trained , well behaved fur babies stay for free! Would like to keep at 2 max, but case by case considered. 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! 😀

Oyster House
Our stay at Oyster House was really nice! The place is so unique! It is quaint and cozy. And the fishing dock was wonderful! My husband really enjoyed fishing from the dock! We definitely plan on coming back!

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♥️

Oyster House Sister's Weekend
We wanted a unique place to get away and have adult sister time. It was peaceful and serene on the bay. We were out on the dock a lot. Rode the golf cart into town for a day. Watched the sunrise every morning...perfect for us.

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.

Seafood Weekend
We really enjoyed the property. The place was right on the water and we loved waking up and seeing the sunrise and watching the sunset. We had everything we needed for a fire or to grill out if we wanted. We loved sitting in the swing cuddling, walking out on the dock and sitting on the back porch to eat. We would definitely book it again on a nonevent weekend or week. The only draw back was it was to far out of town for the Seafood Festival. We had a hard time finding a place to park when we went to town. But that’s not the owners fault.

Lovely location
The new dock was very nice, but it needs water and a light. The wiring in the house needs upgraded. We had a very nice time and caught some fish and crabs off the dock. One of the owners friends came over and I am not sure that was appropriate.
