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.

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.

Tastefully Decorated and Lovely Cottage
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.

Home away from home.
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!

Great Location!!
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! Very clean, great location to walk to town or grocery store and pet friendly!

Exceptional cottage
We chose this cottage for its location to an event we were attending and it exceeded our expectations. The house has updated kitchen, bathrooms and is very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and even included dog biscuits for our 4 legged family members. The front porch looks out on flowers and the historical cemetery so we started and ended our day there. Walking around Apalach reveals beautiful houses and lots of history. We’ll stay here again.

Absolutely Perfect
Our stay could not have been more enjoyable. We literally parked our car and didn’t move it until we checked out. The location is perfect in proximity to everything. We are our fur babies walked the park like neighborhood multiple times a day. Me and my spouse enjoyed the location as well, breakfast, lunch and dinner also walkable distanced. Our host Daphne could not been been nicer, I encourage everyone to ask her to explore her studio/ workshop next door, especially if your searching for something unique to take home for yourself or as a gift for someone else… Cant wait to return, we’re already looking at dates for our next visit.
