Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Franklin County

We were extremely pleased with the Aargh House for our spring break trip. The layout of the property was within walking distance to the stores and restaurants on the island but also private enough that you didn't feel that the area was crowded. We often like to cook when we vacation and found the Aargh House as one of the best stocked kitchens from any Airbnb we rented from. We will be looking at vacationing here again.

We had a lovely stay at this Airbnb. Although outside downtown Apalachicola, it was just a short drive, and the location was very peaceful. The decor of the cottage was a highlight for us - we could tell that the owners took great care in decorating and we loved the nautical and beachy theme. We also enjoyed sitting on the front porch with a glass of wine in the early evening. Sandra kept in touch with us - letting us know the unit was available for check-in early and making sure everything was okay during our stay. We love the Apalachicola and St. George Island area, and this was a lovely base from which to explore it.

We had a really good time. We didn’t know the river was flooded so that was kind of a bummer. We only caught two fish. We saw an alligator and we went to the beach in Saint Joe with our little dog on Tuesday. She had a blast. I loved the place except the back bedroom mattress was very uncomfortable master bedroom was awesome. Everything you need for a little getaway Renée was very nice. We had one little problem the day we were leaving, but she responded and we got it fixed quickly.😄

We had such a great stay at Wally’s Coastal Cottage. The pictures of Wally’s place do not do it justice! We loved the old Florida charm of this cottage and it was very comfortable. The backyard area was comfy and private. We were a quick drive or bike ride from the center of Apalach’s historic downtown with its cool restaurants, bars and music and a 15 minute drive from the beautiful beaches of St. George Island. We also were lucky enough to meet Wally! Highly recommend his Coastal Cottage.

Amazing place to host our daughter’s beach wedding. Everything is five star for this large house.

Our family had a great time at Molcie's. The location is very conveniently located near the beach. It takes no time at all to get there by foot, even while carrying beach chairs and pulling a wagon. The place was as described and checking in/out was a breeze. I love that she allowed us to bring our fur babies for an extremely fairly priced dog fee. We will be back!

We enjoyed every moment. It was a great space for our large family. We enjoyed lounging on both decks and relaxing by the pool. Great WiFi, my son worked “from home” on the back deck. Short walk to the beach and a short drive to lots of restaurants. Thank you for sharing your home!

Nicole was super responsive and very accommodating for our group! The house was clean and stocked with all we needed. Great location for our fishing crew!

This is the best place we’ve stayed at in Apalachicola. The rooms are amazing and very clean. Thank you for an awesome weekend. We will be Back. Sincerely, Chris & Sandie

This is my second time staying at Dan's. I love the eccentricity and quirkiness. Right on 98, great restaurants nearby.

We can’t imagine staying anywhere else. Such an amazing Host Patti is & location location location. She is the best for sharing such a sweet space. Perfect.

Allison proved to be an exceptional host. Her rental was situated in an ideal location and met all of our requirements. I needed to communicate with Allison on a few occasions, and she was consistently courteous and prompt in her responses. This rental merits a five-star rating.

Donna’s place was beyond my expectations! It was in a perfect location for walking g to various restaurants,bars & shops. It was clean as a whistle & very spacious with everything we needed. Thank you Donna! We will stay with you again when we return to Apalachicola.

Easy to access and easy to get in and out

Wonderful place to stay! Quiet, safe and perfect. You can wall to the main street for food and shopping.

We enjoyed exploring the area. Visited plenty of great beaches and charming local shops nearby. Overall, our experience was wonderful. The location is rich in history, another fascinating part of staying here.

Cameron’s little slice of paradise was exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway! The home was stocked with everything you could possibly need—from extra beach towels and board games to a well-equipped kitchen with spices and even butter in the fridge. We loved spending time at Carrabelle Beach (just 12 minutes away) and exploring the beautiful St. George Island (about 35 minutes from the house). One of Cameron’s local dining recommendations, Mornin Bite, was absolutely delicious—we highly recommend it! Also the Blue Parrot on St. George Island is a must if you don’t want to pack lunch, spend the day on the beach and grab a bite there. This cozy retreat is perfect for small groups or families looking for peace, quiet, and all the comforts of home. We can’t wait to come back!

Super relaxing spring break! We loved the condo, loved the huge backyard. Condo had everything we needed, dishes/towels/cleaning supplies/pool toys, goggles, board games.. very welcoming feel. Went fishing most of our trip, and went to fill out the guest books d a friend showed up, after we left, we realized we never finished our journaling! We’ll fix that on the next trip. Definitely staying again!

probably the cleanest Airbnb we've been to.. but no open restaurants in area... if I have any suggestions it would be to replace sofa with something more comfortable

We booked Gone Fishing with Marlinda. She called to inform us that our room wasn't ready (no fault of hers) and asked if we would be interested in staying at her other place (Gone Fishing 2) or if we wanted to wait for it to be cleaned properly. We agreed to stay at Gone Fishing 2 because it wasn't a problem for us. The place was VERY clean and smelled amazing upon entering. This little place had literally EVERYTHING you could want or need! We cooked breakfast every morning and enjoyed the tea/coffee that was provided. There is room to park in front of the house if need be. The screened in porch was nice as well. We would definitely stay here again and wouldn't be afraid to try the Gone Fishing house. Marlinda is very responsive and handles her houses very well! 10/10 would recommend!

Great place for the affordability. Very clean and across the street from the beach! Easily fits four people.

It was a good stay. The pictures were accurate. It was well supplied and had everything we needed.

We enjoyed our stay. It was peaceful and relaxing to sit on the balcony to watch the waves and hear the sound of the ocean. We even saw dolphins which was very exciting. My family enjoyed playing in the sand , water and even fishing.
