If you plan to visit Apalachicola, you likely already know it's a laid back "old Florida" fishing village and are expecting to enjoy peace, quiet, fresh seafood and friendly folks. We found all of the above and were able to enjoy it all aboard the General Lee. Our mornings began and our evenings ended with the gentle motion of the tides swinging us in rhythm with nature. Thanks to Karen, our accommodations were clean, comfortable and very well stocked. Do yourself a favor and talk to her about booking a stay on one of her houseboats. Enhance your visit to Apalach by stepping on your porch and watch a sunrise, a shrimp boat arriving in port or a bald eagle catching a fish. Thank you, Karen! -- Wally and Gini

We had not even spent the first night there before we decided that this was the very best place we have ever stayed! We had never heard of Apalachicola until 3 days before we came. I googled for best beaches to visit where there are not spring breakers, and that's how I found the destination. Then i looked for available places to stay and when we saw the General Lee, we were hooked! The boat was surprisingly spacious, two bathrooms a bonus. Everything essential for our stay was there, with a niicely appointed kitchen and bright airy feel. The very best part was the screened deck AND upper balcony, perfect for endless relaxation and viewing of fishing boats, osprey, pelicans, a myriad of other birds and even parading dolphins traveling up the creek. We loved Apalachicola and the genuine friendliness we encountered everywhere. With a choice of river tours, or driving a short distance to the spectaculat white beaches of St. George Island and the excellent seafood dining available right there within walking distance of the boat, we lacked for nothing to make the perfect family vacation.

This is our second time returning to the houseboats. It was just as great the second time around, and we are already looking forward to returning again!
