Guestbook comments from the host:

Neat, clean, and tidy, plenty of room for 2 people on a small houseboat, with all amenities of a condo, air conditioning, fully equipped kitchen , wifi, DISH TV, and kayaks available to slip right off into the water. Dolphins may swim right by while sipping coffee on the porch. I am so glad we chose to stay here , and the proprietor was wonderful, available for whatever was needed.

My husband and I spent four days and loved it! Karen is very nice and does an amazing job taking care of everything. The location was perfect! You can walk to everything in town and when on the houseboat, you have the most amazing view of the river and marshes. I would definitely recommend Rebels Rest!

My husband and I recently stayed in this beautiful home. It was a perfect slice of paradise - even in December - to get away from the craziness of day-to-day. All of the shops and restaurants were within a short walking distance, the sunrises were breathtaking every morning, the house was the perfect size for just the two of us, and there were even dolphins right outside the back patio! We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, gorgeous getaway.

My husband and I needed a peaceful escape and our little houseboat delivered 100 percent. We cooked fresh shrimp and clams in our room. 13 mile market is a treasure. Get the grouper collars to broil. Combination of sun and gentle rocking of the boat gave us both our best sleep in months. Our host was responsive and very kind. She brought over a baking sheet and aluminum foil and provided two adorable masks. My only regret was packing to come home.

We had an extended stay on the Rebel's Rest and it was amazing! My husband & I snuggled into the houseboat and loved it!! The owner of the boat is phenomenal in so many ways. My husband wanted to fish and she recommended a local guide who was fun and knew where to catch fish! I love photography and took many fun photos of a variety of boats passing by. I had to learn to take time to wave as the boat captain and crew are very friendly! We walked to local pubs, restaurants, museums, shopping, the local pier wherever we wanted to go in Apalachicola. We hugged the owner as we said goodbye. It was not easy to leave and I know we'll remain friend. We highly recommend the wonderful experience of a night or an extended stay on one of the houseboats at River Watch!!! If it's on your Bucket List or you just want something different then a hotel stay here!!!
