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.
