A Little Slice of Heaven!
We were away for 8 weeks and this was our final destination before heading home. It was also the best destination, adorable cottage and relaxing time! Daphne’s cottage was perfection all around. The artwork, the fenced in back yard, colorful dishes..truly all the comforts of home. Beds super comfy! The location was so close to everything, so many dining options, beautiful galleries and all dog friendly! I hope we can make this a destination vacation in the future!

We loved our stay at this VRBO in Apalachicola. It was very comfortable, warm, cozy, and dog friendly. We enjoyed the closeness to town and the privacy of the backyard. The beds and baths were clean and comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything necessary to prepare a light lunch or a full dinner.Daphne was super responsive to all questions and made us feel right at home. We would definitely stay again!!

The cottage is very well designed, very comfortable. We walked to town, did not need the car. The piggly wiggly and CVS are very close. The garden is enclosed so my dog could not get out.Dapne is very nice and helpful. Our stay was wonderful.

Glance at the Past Cottage Review
Super comfy & clean cottage. Recent first-class renovation. Short 10-minute walk to downtown Apalachicola. Small fenced back yard for the pup. Even better than the description on VRBO.

This cottage was extremely clean, comfortable and well furnished. I cannot think of anything we could have needed that was not provided. We felt at home the minute we walked through the door and look forward to staying there on our next visit to Apalachicola.

Spent a week in this lovely, light, pleasant cottage. Well appointed, original art throughout. Surprisingly quiet location. About the best example I’ve seen of a renovation blending comfort and character. Daphne was kindness itself. Planning on staying there again, Lord willing.

Perfect Getaway
We stayed in the cottage for a long weekend with our two adult sons. The cottage itself easily slept the four of us, there was free coffee and snacks, it was very clean, decorated tastefully, and had everything we could have asked for, including beach towels, olive oil, and a grill.(we got steaks from the nearby Piggly Wiggly). The location was within walking distance of everything we wanted to see and do in Apalachicola, so we never had to drive anywhere. We had coffee on the porch, took a nap on the lounger in the garden, took walks around the neighborhood... it was perfect.

This home could not have been better. Daphne, besides being a wonderful hostess, is an artist and her creative side flows over into the decor of her home. Charming is a perfect adjective. Located Close to everything in Apalochicola, my husband and I had a fabulous time. Oh and check out her wonderful metal work in the studio out back, very talented Lady!

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!
