About this docked boat rental
Rebel’s Rest: A Unique Floating Home Stay in Historic Apalachicola, Florida
Welcome aboard Rebel’s Rest, a charming floating home permanently moored in the heart of downtown Apalachicola. Perfect for couples, or solo travelers, this one-of-a-kind waterfront retreat blends the comfort of a vacation rental with the romance and character of life on the water.
Whether you’re sipping coffee as the sun rises over the river or strolling to nearby shops and seafood restaurants, Rebel’s Rest offers a relaxing coastal escape with unbeatable access to everything Apalachicola has to offer.
The Experience
Rebel’s Rest is not a traditional boat, it’s a stationary floating home, securely moored and designed for comfort and stability. Guests enjoy the novelty of staying on the water while having all the conveniences of a land-based vacation rental.
Wake up to gentle water views, enjoy evenings with river breezes, and unwind in a peaceful setting just steps from downtown attractions.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. 4th of July weekend is definitely the time be there. Only issue was the sulfur smell of water. It’s Florida, what can you say. Food and shops can all be found within a short walk. Fishing was great. Just an awesome time!!

6 / 10Average·Oct 2025
It was very clean and well appointed but we were not prepared for the terrible smelling water in the houseboat. I couldn’t bring myself to bathe in it. I thought it had a new water filtration system but the water had a disgusting smell.
