The Tarpon Cottage near the bay. Relaxing getaway!!!! Snowbirds special.

The Tarpon Cottage
Our recently 1918 renovated cottage is three blocks from the beautiful Apalachicola Bay.
You can stroll down to Lafayette Park and walk out onto the dock that overlooks the bay. It's a sight to behold. Watch a variety of birds, enjoy the porpoise chasing the bait fish. Or just sit and take in all of the natural beauty and quietness of what the bay has to offer.
We are in a quiet neighborhood and within walking distance to shops, restaurant's, the grocery store and the local pharmacy. You will find all the comforts of home here. It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. There are two bedrooms with king beds, and the third one has a queen bed.
There's a large screened- in porch where you can sip your coffee and enjoy the morning or afternoon quiet time. There is also a smaller private porch off of the master bedroom. Perfect for catching up on reading.
The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need to cook those amazing meals. There's a new gas grill outside on the second deck for your enjoyment of grilling. Or if you choose to dine out, there are many options around town.
The beautiful beach at St George's Island is located about 15 miles from Apalachicola.
I will provide you with all the beach equipment that you need to have a wonderful day in the sun. You should have everything you need to make your visit one to remember.
We look forward to having you as our guest. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
It's a 30-day rental.
