Unique Vacations

Unique Vacations aboard our floating homes located just a block from downtown historic Apalachicola.  You will have the choice of five different options to enjoy your waterfront vacation floating homes on the Apalachicola River. All houseboats offer modern fully equipped kitchens with full size appliances, large bathrooms and spacious living area with large waterfront windows to enjoy all the wildlife and boat activity (low wake zone) going by. All boats have spacious waterfront porches so that you will be right on the water’s edge to enjoy your cocktail and dining experience while watching both sunrise and sunsets over the water (the General Lee has a 2-story waterfront porch). The “General Lee” and “Southern Comfort” feature 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms and can accommodate up to 4 guests.  The “Reelaxation” offers a cabin-like experience and features 1 bedroom (king bed) and a large bathroom.  You will enjoy both screened and open waterfront porches.  This cabin can accommodate up to 4 guests with a pull-out couch.  You can also enjoy your vacation aboard the “Rebel’s Rest” or “Tequila Sunrise” which each have a bedroom (queen bed) and large bathroom.  The “Rebel’s Rest” has a large waterfront covered porch while the “Tequila Sunrise” has both screen and open waterfront porches.  These houseboats can accommodate up to 2 guests. All boats have Keurig coffeemakers, TVs with all premium Dish channels, free Wifi, central heating/air conditioning and all linens and towels.  There are fishing rods and kayaks available for your use during your stay.  Outdoor propane gas grills are located on each side of the marina area.  Ample parking is provided just steps from your houseboat. You can also enjoy a fishing or sightseeing trip on the water by contacting Capt. Jimmy Maxwell at Backwater Guide Service (850-899-0063).  He will pick you up directly from your waterfront porch.  Please go to our website at: floridahouseboatrentals.com Address: 309 Water St.  Phone #: (908) 432-4040.  Also, please like us on Facebook: Florida Houseboat Rentals.
