About this docked boat rental

This property is a unique and well appointed floating condo with all updated features. It has two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a double bed. There is 1.5 bathrooms which share a shower but still retain complete privacy for each bedroom's occupants. The kitchen has all of the features of a modern home such as a full size refrigerator, new stove and microwave. Small appliances include a coffee maker (coffee provided), blender, toaster, electric can opener along with dishes and glasses and more. The kitchen surfaces are solid Corian with indoor dining seating available for 4. All furnishings are very upscale. The art features a local artist, Tom Tiffin, who has captured a very authentic portrayal of a local shrimp fishing boat. The best feature is the large front porch which offers a spectacular views of both sunrises by looking to the right and sunsets on your left. There are always either boats, fish or birds to view from your porch. Today, I saw 2 dolphins swim by. This area includes seating for 6.. The all electric 950 sq. ft. houseboat offers all of the modern systems including an easily controlled air conditioner/heating system It has an aluminum hull and is surrounded by a new floating dock system which makes getting off and on a breeze. A comfortable temperature can be maintained at all times of the year by merely opening the front and back doors to the river breezes. This is indeed a wonderful way to spend a relaxing and comfortable vacation.

beautiful view BUT needs cleaning

beautiful view BUT needs cleaning

The property has great views. The porch was great however just know neighbors on both sides are just feet away and hear and see everything so no privacy while on the porch . We were very surprised how dirty it was considering we paid over 500$ per night. At that price we did expect the quality to fit the price. I took pictures and showed them to the owner. The mattress cover had stains and hair on it. Their was hair and dust on the baseboards through both bathrooms and the area around the trash can was filthy. There as dirt and grime around the blinds and windows and some of the floor boards were broken as well. If needed I can submit pictures. My suggestion is to have the place professional cleaned !

First trip to Apalachcola

First trip to Apalachcola

This was our first trip visiting Apalachicola. We were excited to stay on the Southern Comfort and it did not disappoint. The houseboat was stocked with everything we needed and more. It was very clean, spacious and well decorated. We enjoyed the quaintness of the boat and everything Apalachicola had to offer. That location was perfect!

Those sunrises 😍

Those sunrises 😍

My husband and I stayed on the houseboat for a long weekend for a destination wedding. All the guests were sprinkled throughout properties in Apalachicola. The deck is truly a spot to enjoy all day long this time of year (February) and we were up every morning at 630 to experience the breathtaking sunrises. It’s peaceful, walking distance to everything. I gave it 4 stars for cleanliness for it’s a boathouse. I wouldn’t expect it to be 5 stars. It’s charming, not perfect, and we enjoyed every minute of our stay!

Southern Comfort at its best

Southern Comfort at its best

I was looking for a peaceful space with a beautiful view, enough space to live in, and nearby good food. This beautiful place hit the mark on all! A lone traveler I felt safe and comfortable to wander the town on my own to return to a secure serene space and relax while watching the water fowl. Each morning I was greeted with a beautiful sunrise from the back patio deck and was able to fuel my photography hobby endlessly. Karen was so nice to offer suggestions for area dining and one of the best was right next door making it a great option if you wished to order dinner and take it "home" to eat on the back deck. Why would I ever want to stay in a hotel setting when there is Southern Comfort!

Location, location, location! Amazing views right on the river!

My husband and I so enjoyed staying in this cute little blue houseboat. Being right on the water was incredible. Nothing prepares you for the view! It was clean with lots of natural light, and like many former houseboat renters we enjoyed getting to know our neighbors in Reelaxation, the houseboat right next to us. They shared my husband's love for fishing - which we all did quite successfully right from our back decks! We also enjoyed wildlife viewing, kayaking right off the boat, and renting a boat and going up river. It's an experience not to be missed.

We enjoyed a Father/ Son long weekend. Houseboat was very Comfortable and extremely well equipped. Fishing right off of the deck, restaurants, bars, and shopping within blocks away. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Karen, the owner, took great care and genuine interest in us having a comfortable stay. Would recommend this property for a wide variety of vacations. Romantic get away, Family Fun, Father/Son quality time, quiet getaway for R&R. I will be looking for reasons and opportunities to come back!!!!

Perfectly located, spacious and beautifully maintained. Comfortable and peaceful inside and out.

Perfectly located, spacious and beautifully maintained. Comfortable and peaceful inside and out.

The back porch of the Southern Comfort overlooking the river is one of the most peaceful places in the world to me. This was my second stay here, with an old friend, and my husband and I have already booked a weekend in October to celebrate our anniversary. We enjoy walking around the town checking out all the little shops or driving up the coast for the afternoon but my favorites are sunrise on the porch, watching the pelicans fly up river and waving or speaking to people in the boats. On that porch we feel like we've literally (although temporarily) turned our backs toward the cares of this world to focus rather on things that are true and lovely and peaceful. This makes everything else worthwhile. Oh, yes, the houseboat itself is perfect too! Thanks, Karen, for all the effort it takes to maintain it so beautifully.

Exactly what we were hoping for.

Exactly what we were hoping for.

This wonderful houseboat was just wanted we were looking for: a unique and comfortable place to get to know the sweet town of Apalachicola. The houseboat was pristine, bright and cheery. We so enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the birds, boats etc. Mrs. Hoff and her son were wonderful hosts. Really enjoyed the Sunset "River Tour" sponsored by the Maritime Museum. Very informative . Would love to come back.
