Oyster city time

Nice little home. Sparse sitting arrangement. Good kitchen, NEEDS MORE CURTAINS or SHADES, other guests can see in some windows. Parking issue-At least 1 parking spot should be designated for House exclusively. great Town and history, 2nd time staying here. May not return to this home due to mentioned . but We love the Forgotten Coast!

no connection with the outside world-- almost like sensory deprivation

the property was good; but as said-- no TV, no newspaper, no computer access, no radio-- it would have been helpful to have known these things in advance. I can see why the South has turned Republican.

Parking Account

The parking was less than desirable and could have been due to the paving of the street over. There was no parking for a boat as had been told.

Great little cottage for coastal visit

Neat little cottage that looked to be recently refurbished with very good quality appliances, good water pressure and two outdoor sitting/relaxing areas. Right down town, close to nice eating places and just few minutes from St Georges Island. Our third visit to Apalachicola but first time here. Will plan to go back again.

The cottage was clean and just a few steps from downtown. Even though it was so close it was very quiet and comfortable. The yard was beautifully landscaped and we had everything we needed.

Loved it all but the bed needs to be a king. Just small for two adults. We are not big people but the bed is small. Everything else was wonderful for a different experience. Love Apalachicola. We have been coming her about 2 times a month for about 2 years. Please get a larger bed so we will book another stay.

Wonderful Stay at Oystertown Cottage

This was our first time in Apalachicola and we had the best weekend! The Oystertown Cottage was clean, accommodating, and within walking distance to all the bars, restaurants, and shops. The hosts were very communicative and helpful. We will 100% be back!

Love the oyster cottage

Second we’ve stayed at oyster cottage and just love! Clean, bright, well cared for, cozy- small cottage but rooms nicely done and well maintained- so easy to get around town from this location! Definitely a favorite place to stay in Apalachiacola plus we were able to bring our dog- a bonus!
