About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Pet-friendly comfy cottage with a glance at the past. Easy walk to downtown.

A front porch with a view of Apalachicola’s historic Chestnut Cemetery welcomes you to a completely renovated cottage with the comforts of home including a modern kitchen, vaulted ceilings, nickel-gap and original hard pine flooring. Outside the up cycled garden gate and fence welcomes you to the meandering paths that leads to an artist studio which can be visited upon request. The garden is embellished with sculptures along with a variety species of plants. Potted herbs when in season are available for you to enjoy. Relax on the bench and smell the flowers and watch the birds taking turns in the birdbath while taking in the textures and colors of the garden designed by a local renowned landscape designer.
Located a scenic 15 minutes drive to the pristine beaches of Cape San Blas and St George Island which was ranked the number ONE beach in America 2023 by Dr. Beach.
Works of local artists embellish the space of this beautiful home making it a place of joy to be shared with loved ones. A gas grill is ready for use off the back steps. A doggie gate is available for your convenience.

Great Location!!
We had a wonderful stay at Glance at the Past! Daphne was great and did a wonderful job with the home. It was absolutely perfect with everything we needed. Her studio is on the property but don’t let that hold you back from booking this home, it did not interrupt our stay at all! We would definitely book this home again! Very clean, great location to walk to town or grocery store and pet friendly!

We had the best time at this charming cottage. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and beautiful. It had everything we needed and more. Our host Daphne was great. She went out of her way to buy a beach umbrella and beach towels. I would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to visit Apalachicola!
