Wonderful area, terrible experience
Overall, this is a lovely historic house in wonderful condition. The beds, linens were very clean and comfortable. Downsides- the road construction is occurring right in front of the house and is very loud. All..day..long. I travel with my daughters and were met by the owner's husband who insisted on keeping the key in the lockbox. Totally inappropriate and unsafe for female travelers. Upon check-in, my 2nd daughter had decided to stay with us- last minute decision which garnered a rather hostile call from the manager for the additional payment. Not a problem from my side since we all know that travel plans can change. But it was stated very clearly that they typically host 'senior citizen couples'. As a 60 year old female traveler with my daughter- I felt very unwelcome. No easy access to bring luggage in except though the pea gravel yard. Sidewalk to parking is inaccessible. There is only one entrance to the home.There's also a roach problem in the house- we killed 3 during our stay. It all was enough for us to depart a day early. Sorry, I cannot recommend. Never have been treated so poorly before- I am an educated working professional and certainly didn't deserve the attitude.

Retirees' Retreat
We loved staying in the Blue Moon. It was in the perfect location to walk around and explore Apalachicola. The quick drive to St. George Island State Park provided us with a lovely beach experience, which, of course, included lunch at the Blue Parrot. We loved the fun decor and the porch swing was definitely a plus. Very clean and charming. Only request would be a Keurig coffee maker, however they did provide filters and coffee for the coffee maker they had. Highly recommend this little jewel.

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.

Perfect for our Wedding Weekend
We came to Apalachicola for our daughters wedding. Blue Moon was in the center of downtown. The space in the house and yard made us feel a little secluded which was nice and quiet. We walked everywhere! I was shocked at how perfect everything was. I highly recommend booking here for your next stay in Apalach.

Family time
The house was very charming and had character, The location was terrific. During our stay it was unusually cold weather for the area and the heating system could not keep up, but that is understandable, (The cold front was hitting a large portion of the country,) The kitchen had ample supply of cookware and dishes, Beds were comfortable and clean, Having access to the cute outdoor area was nice, Just wish it had been warmer outside so we could have enjoyed that space, Mother nature didn't cooperate. Would stay there again and recommend to others,
