About this property

Popular Blue Moon Carriage House Loft in historic Apalachicola Walk Everywhere


Welcome to the Blue Moon Carriage House Loft!
A Little History, A Lot of Charm, and Your Perfect Apalachicola Getaway
Step back in time and settle into something special! Built above the original Blue Moon Carriage House, dating back to approximately 1900, this one-of-a-kind loft cottage blends historic Southern character with the comforts and luxuries of a relaxing getaway. From the moment you climb the stairs and open the original 100+ year-old front door, you'll discover a space filled with history, charm, and thoughtful details. The Blue Moon Loft features one bedroom, one bath, a convenient kitchenette, and a cozy dining area overlooking your own private bridge balcony. Every corner tells a story, with authentic Southern restoration pieces, reclaimed materials, and vintage treasures that make this space truly unique. Discover the beauty of the antique farm sink and century-old cupboards rescued from the historic McDonald homestead in South Georgia. Reclaimed cypress beams frame a gorgeous sliding barn door, a refinished piece approximately 150 years old. Even the shabby-chic mantel has a story to tell, originating from a home in Lowndes County, Georgia. After a day of exploring, unwind in the oversized garden tub and let the cares of the day melt away. Above, enormous skylights set into the tin ceiling bring the outdoors in. Stretch out on the ultra-plush pillowtop bed and watch the clouds drift by during the day or gaze at the stars at night. It's the perfect place to slow down, relax, and enjoy a little Blue Moon magic. The Best of Apalachicola Is Right Outside Your Door! Whether you're returning from an eco-tour along the river, a day at the beach, fishing or kayaking on the bay, you'll love coming home to the Blue Moon Loft. Take a leisurely stroll or golf cart ride beneath the magnificent live oaks of Apalachicola's historic district. Explore charming local shops just around the corner or enjoy an unforgettable meal at one of the wonderful waterfront cafés and restaurants just steps away. The Blue Moon Carriage House Loft offers a special blend of history, character, comfort, and an unbeatable downtown location. Come experience the charm of Old Florida, make yourself at home, and discover why one visit to the Moon is never enough!

My husband and I stayed in the loft and absolutely loved it!! He told me that was the best Vrbo I had found for us with that being his favorite! The location was wonderful being right there with all the restaurants and walking distance. It was decorated reallly pretty, cozy and immaculately clean! Beth takes great pride in making sure you have all the details and you have everything you need. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and relaxing. The food was really good! Our favorite place was The Station Raw Bar and had the sweetest server there! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and we look forward to coming back!
