About this property

In the Heart of Apalachicola~Walk Everywhere~Ebony Rouge Suite~Majestic Jewel

Enjoy Southern Grandeur and Comfort in one of the most majestic homes in Apalachicola! Located in the center of the Historic District and less than two blocks from the restaurants, shops, galleries and pubs! Six Suites and one Studio available.

Treat yourself to our largest & most luxurious suite on the 1st floor! The EBONY ROUGE SUITE is beautifully furnished with a super comfortable KING SIZE bed & the finest linens! (This bed sits higher than an average bed.) Plush rugs adorn the original hardwood floors & art decorates the shiplap wood walls. The bay window has a nice sitting area with a great view & custom made black out drapes! This suite includes a full bath with soaking tub & spray nozzle for old fashioned "sit down" shower. A separate quirky "shower closet" opens up into the bedroom. Although it is unconventional, many guests prefer a stand up shower so we were creative & added one.

Guests are encouraged to use all of the common areas which include the Grand Salon, Formal Dining Room, Hospitality Lobby, Kitchenette & the many sitting areas on the veranda. Mix and mingle or simply relax! There is plenty of space to enjoy at the Majestic Jewel!

Although we are not a B & B, we do offer guests self-serve coffee, tea, cold drinks, bottle water, oatmeal, milk & cereal PLUS an excellent environment to mix & mingle or simply relax!

Ebony Rouge in the Majestic Jewel Inn is an amazing place to stay for a memorable get away! Please view our photos & captions for more info. Check out our other suites, Ivory Pearl, Vintage Rose, Green With Envy & Autumn Moon!

Embrace the pace of Apalachicola, we promise you won't want to Leave!

House is beautiful. Our room , the Ebony Rouge Suite was very spacious. It was great to have the kitchen available to make morning coffee and evening tea. Also the fridge was handy to keep items from our cooler , including medication, cold. The only problem I had was in the evening and overnight it was so cold in the room. I was not able to change the room tempThe location is great. We were able to walk everywhere. Not a lot of places to eat but we enjoyed trying the oysters in a few different places and in a few different cooking methods. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

Annual River Trip

We stayed here for our second year in a row for our annual river trip and it was the perfect place! It’s very convenient to walk to the shops, restaurants, and bars and we had plenty of space to park the boat. The kitchen area has perfect grab and go breakfast/snacks and the porches were a great spot to sit and hang with our friends. The rooms are absolutely beautiful and Greg was a wonderful, helpful host!

Beautiful suite & perfect location

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Ebony Rouge suite over 4th of July weekend. The building is located right next to the heart of downtown, but the space is incredibly calming. We really appreciated the excellent black out curtains, massive bathtub, and comfortable king size bed. We hope to stay here on our visits to Apalachicola in the future.

Beautiful

The room was beautiful and spacious. The location was perfect allowing for walks to the different squares and two blocks from downtown and restaurants. The only minus was the lack of a standard walk-in shower. It made showering after the beach very awkward being you had to kneel or sit and worry about spraying water everywhere. Otherwise, our stay was perfect!

Good Intentions

It was a long, cold, and miserable drive to Apalachacola. We were relieved to get there. Unfortunately when we got to the Majestic Jewel and arrived at our room, it was very cold. To their credit, they responded quickly to the issue and by the time we got back from dinner the room was a bit warmer. The room and accessories were beautiful and the linens were plush. We unpacked and settled down. We turned on the TV and what a mess. Most Cable or Satellite companies have guides that make it easy to find a program and channel. Not this one. The instructions in room guide are out dated. We could never figure out how to navigate the channels. They need to update this and make it easier to use. I was feeling dirty so I wanted to take a shower. The bathroom is beautiful and wonderfully appointed but the shower is not there. It is in the living area. Something that I could not get used to. I could not get the water hot. We asked them about it and they again responded quickly. It still took about 5 minutes to get warm water each day we were there. In both instances when we called, they responded quickly although we don't think that those issues should be issues. We thought when booking this property that it was a Bed and Breakfast. It's not. It is a beautiful room in a wonderful house. No breakfast in the traditional sense. They do leave cereal, milk etc. They could do some work to make the kitchen area feel less sterile and the outside side of the house more appealing. Lastly, this is the only 'B&B' that we did not meet the hosts. One of the charming aspects of a 'B&B' is meeting them. It creates the right kind of atmosphere.

What an amazing time we had! This house is so cool. The suite we stayed in was so beautiful. Appalachacola is a step back in time. Staying here really sealed the deal. It was so clean and the bed slept great. The host June was so wonderful her gardening skills are to envy. She thought of everything from snacks to candy to the well set up coffee station. We will definitely be back soon!

About the host

Hosted by June Quinn and Greg Vance

Host profile image
Greg & June's dream came true when they purchased this historic home in Apalachicola!
They were determined to bring this jewel back to life! With the help of a few good friends & countless electricians & plumbers, their vision became a reality!

They love sharing their home & the charming little town of Apalachicola with guests. After selling their import business in 2020, they are able to spend about 70% of the month in Apalachicola & the remainder at their home in Atlanta. Although they are not in residence 100% of the time, they welcome requests from guests who prefer to visit while they are there.

Why they chose this property

In 2017, seeking to simplify life, the search was on for an opportunity to open a "small" business in Apalachicola. All roads kept leading back to the old bank on Avenue E. It had so much potential yet had been sitting dark & empty for almost 8 years! It was originally built in 1908 as a private residence for the family of a prominent German immigrant who made his wealth in the dry goods industry in Apalachicola. It remained in the Flatauer family until the 1980's when it was bought, restored & converted into a bank & insurance agency. The old bank lobby is now the Hospitality Lobby & guest kitchenette. History of the home & its people are exhibited here.

What makes this property unique

Staying at the Majestic Jewel Inn is the best way to experience southern grandeur in the charming little town of Apalachicola! It is located in the center of the historic district & less than 2 blocks from the town! Walk to restaurants, galleries, shops & pubs or stroll around the neighborhood. The river wharf & the bay are only a 4 block walk. Beauty literally surrounds us! For beach lovers, St George Island is a 10 minute drive & Cape San Blas is 20 minutes.

The veranda wraps around 3 sides of the Majestic Jewel! It is the best place to relax & catch the breeze!
