About this docked boat rental
Reelaxation: Rustic Floating Cabin Houseboat Adventure in Apalachicola
Escape to "Old Florida" with this charming, hand-built floating cabin, a unique rustic retreat sleeping up to 2, ideal for fishing lovers, nature enthusiasts, or anyone seeking pure tranquility on the water.
Crafted from native woods by a local fishing captain, Reelaxation is a stable, spacious floating cabin docked right on the scenic Apalachicola River in historic downtown Apalachicola, the heart of Florida's Forgotten Coast.
Remarkably steady (no rocking, even in storms), it offers an exotic, unforgettable experience of living on the water. Wake to stunning sunrises from your bedroom window, then step onto the expansive screened porch for morning coffee as the river comes alive: playful dolphins, gentle manatees gliding by, pelicans diving for breakfast, families of ducks, osprey nests, and shrimp boats unloading their fresh catch.
Evenings bring moonlit serenity, frog symphonies, and incredible wildlife viewing – all from your private deck, where guests reel in redfish and trout by the dozens with ease.
Prime Waterfront Location
Just steps from vibrant historic downtown Apalachicola, with its charming shops, art galleries, fresh seafood eateries (world-famous oysters!), breweries, and maritime heritage. A short drive reaches sugar-white beaches at St. George Island State Park or St. Vincent Island Wildlife Refuge for hiking and exploration.

The boat hpuse was exactly what we expected in the best way. We had walked by these for years and are so glad we finally stayed in one of them

Great little place for our Memorial Day/Honeymoon getaway! Everything was great!Brought our boat but were told that we weren't allowed to to tie up to the back once we had it in, we made the best of it and just took in and out each day, boat ramp is just down Water Street. Location is perfect, just a walk away from everything Apalachicola.
