Awesome property that came in clutch after having to evacuate nearby barrier island for imminent hurricane. Able to check in early which was key. Beth was great to work with and very caring. Lovely cottage in the heart of Apalachicola.

Charming cottage in downtown Appalachia that has all the needed amenities ready for you. Bonus is that the lovely town has so much to offer within walking distance (or rent a golf cart) from the Cottage. Restaurants, shopping, art galleries and more! Family of 6 (three generations) stayed for a week and will certainly be returning to The Blue Moon/Apalachicola!

We had a great visit in Apalachicola! The house was cute and cozy, and our hostess accommodating. We were in town for a wedding, and the cottage was within walking distance of shops, eateries, entertainment establishments and even the very cool wedding venue. Thanks Beth!

The cottage was very accessible/accommodating and absolutely LOVED the location. The area was perfect for walking with dogs. Beth was excellent to work with & so friendly. We only wish was that the king bed had been downstairs. We definitely recommend Blue Moon Cottage to anyone that is considering a trip to Apalach.

We loved our three night stay! It was in the perfect location, and the home was very accommodating. The laundry is inconvenient, though. It is only open from 9am to 8pm— during the time when we wanted to be out on the town and not waiting on machines. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and will stay again. We recommend!

Expansive + Great Location

The property is in a great location, and is an easy walk or bike to most of the things to do in Apalachicola. The house is much larger than it appears on the outside, and can comfortably house a larger party like ours. It is very well equipped and stocked, and the host is very communicative. Will definitely look to stay here again next time we're in the area.
