My husband and I chose this area because we love to kayak fish. We were in close proximity to St. George Island where we put in at tbe state park on the. Ay side. Fabulous fishing from this area. Caught several reds, trout, and even 2 sharks. When we returned in the evening, we were skeptical to fish off the house boat in the river due to other reviews of just cat fish. We actually caught reds from the house boat which we were happy about. Large fish kept surfacing in the evening. I joked with my husband stating that i think i keep seeing the lauchness monster. They turned out to be gars. Very large. We caught 2 but ended up losing them before ee could bring them in. What an adrenaline rush. Overall great stay. I would recommend a new set of pans for the house boat, and cleaning out the air conditioner...but other than that...very enjoyable stay!!!!

quiet. Comfortable, close to resturants and entertainment. Plenty of cat fish if you like to fish! Nice quaint town, people friendly. No problems! Couldn't hook up a ps5 on day it rained because we only had remote for dish and not tv so unable to change source. We just found something else to do! The wood work on houseboat is beautiful. Would stay again!

Great location you can walk all over town. We enjoy staying here the only drawback is the cost staying 3 nights is more than staying in a condo on the beach for a week.

Amazing vacation rental.
We had such a wonderful time staying on the houseboat. Such a unique experience that we’ll never forget. Waking up every morning overlooking the Apalachicola river watching the sunrise, it was so beautiful. The houseboat had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Very convenient location and an easy walk to downtown. Karen, Norma and John were great and made sure we had a great vacation.

Houseboat Happiness
We had a wonderful and relaxing time on the Reelaxation in Apalachicola. Perfect for stress release and reconnecting with family!

Just got back home from the houseboat and I miss it already. The houseboat comes equipped with a full kitchen and everything that is needed for a short or long stay. Catch fish and crabs right from the back deck. Great waterfront (watertop) location about15 minutes away from St George Island beaches. Apalachicola is very friendly to visitors and is full of small shops and places to eat just steps away. Private reserved gated parking area. Wifi worked great and next time we'll be sure to take the included kayaks out on the water. It was a pleasure to stay there and there was great communication with the owner and the check in process.

Very relaxing accommodations, fresh seafood all around, and friendly community.
Enjoyed have a gas stove, comfortable king bed, and endless bird watching off back patio. Lazy boy chair may need an update, yet other than that I highly recommend this docked house boat. We had a fabulous stay, and enjoyed the local food & retail shops.

THE BEST STRESS FREE MINI VACATION EVER
My wife and I stayed on the Reelaxation. The second we stepped on this houseboat the daily stress disappeared. This boat was better than we could have dreamed. It was unique, it was very clean and the location was just perfect. The owner, a really happy lady, greeted us and that made our visit even more perfect. Security is not a problem at all with an electronic gate that required a passcode to keep the property safe. This boat had a screened in porch facing the waterway. You could fish, watch nature and enjoy the beauty of each and every day. There was an awesome waterfront seafood restaurant next door and the town of Apalachicola was a short walk with wonderful shops, bars/restaurants and history everywhere. We could right a book but why spoil the fun. This is something that you have to check out for yourself. It was really a dream come true that was much needed for us and it made 2020 look a whole lot better.

Terrific location and service
Staying on the houseboat was a unique and beautiful experience. Really need to call out Karen, the owner, who was terrific. Everything was smooth, she took care to make sure the unit was cleaned thoroughly, and was kind even when as guests we made mistakes. Cannot say enough and hope to see her again soon.

Not again!
We stayed at this property during spring break/Covid19. When we had to bring our daughter due to her college shutting, the manager told us we needed to bring her cash for her to stay. This was after the the president of VRBO sent out a letter stating that property managers would be flexible. There was no smoke alarm on the houseboat and the manager said she sanitized it by squirting Purell around the place. We also had to go buy room freshener to get the mushy smell out. Apalachicola is a great town with great people but this is a place I will not stay again.

Houseboat is my kind of place this
This houseboat is within walking distance of all the restaurants and places of interest in Apalachicola, and sitting on the deck watching the pelicans and other wildlife was a favorite pastime.

Almost 5 stars
I had always admired the houseboats in Apalachicola when visiting in the past, so I though I would try staying in one. I was not disappointed. The location is excellent, and the houseboat had all the amenities that we needed. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the boats and birds on the river. Even saw a dolphin swim by. Karen the owner was very accommodating. The only problem was that it needs a thorough cleaning. Some of the window sills were quite dirty, and also a couple of the throw rugs. But overall we were quite pleased.

Fun experience of "life on the river"!
Although late January is an ambitious time to book a riverside houseboat stay - we truly enjoyed our days on "Reelaxation". Staying in town gave us a better appreciation of Apalachicola as opposed to our drive-in trips from St George Island. The boat was warm, blankets and quilts were available and although we werent able to take advantage of the fishing poles provided, we did enjoy a lunch on the screened porch with carry-in gumbo from the Seafood Grill. We would like to come back - maybe in May or June!

Well maintained and exactly what I was looking for.
Whether it’s a romantic weekend or a week long visit for the local attractions, this is the perfect property. Located right in Apalachicola, this property provides extremely easy access to all this beautiful Town has to offer. St. George Island with its beautiful beach is a short scenic drive away and we’ll worth it. Met a number of very nice local people who had a lot of info and advice to offer. One of the more memorable was Captain Rudy Gay of Apalachicola Charters. Just a property located in a great Town. Can’t wait to visit again.

Reelaxation is definitely what you’ll get...
Reelaxation exceeded every expectation we had when booking this houseboat. We enjoyed fishing off the front of the boat, enjoyed the vast wildlife in the area and enjoyed sitting on the screened porch and front area sipping coffee, drinks and just took in the fabulous view. The town is great! We enjoyed the locals, made friends and enjoyed the great restaurants and stores too. We will be back again! Thanks Karen (and Joe) for taking such good care of us!

Wonderful and relaxing getaway
Everything about this houseboat and vacation was wonderful! The views from the back porch were beautiful and easy walkable access to the town restaurants and shops was convenient. The houseboat had all the right amenities to feel like home.
Karen was a terrific hostess and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Her recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants were spot on. We will definitely be back some day.

Reelaxation cabin in Apalachicola Fl.
Very sweet, calming , relaxing location. The cabin was neat, clean, with all pots, pans, plates, utensils stocked for cooking if you desire to do so. it was unusually cold for that region, and the heating unit was not sufficient to keep the entire space warm, especially at night. There are extra blankets for comfort. Karen was accommodating to make sure our needs were met. Great little place! We enjoyed the early morning dolphin run passing the houseboat and other wildlife. Thank you for a memorable stay!

What great place
We enjoyed our stay...the houseboat was spotless. It would be a perfect place for a long weekend anytime of the year...the bed was comfortable and the kitchen had just what we needed for cooking. We came as strangers but left as friends with Karen...she’s a good hostess and really takes care of her properties...
5.0 / 5.0
Awesome!
We have stayed in this houseboat three times now. Karen keeps her houseboats in excellent condition. Apalachicola is a beautiful fishing village with great restaurants and lots of other surrounding attractions. We went to Apalachicola on our Anniversary and will be back next year. Love this area!
