House is beautiful. Our room , the Ebony Rouge Suite was very spacious. It was great to have the kitchen available to make morning coffee and evening tea. Also the fridge was handy to keep items from our cooler , including medication, cold. The only problem I had was in the evening and overnight it was so cold in the room. I was not able to change the room tempThe location is great. We were able to walk everywhere. Not a lot of places to eat but we enjoyed trying the oysters in a few different places and in a few different cooking methods. All in all we enjoyed our stay.
We loved staying at this historic house. It is beautifully restored to its full glory. Easy to find, it is handy to walk into this lovely town.
Our room was elegant with a very comfortable bed.
We were warmly greeted on arrival. Definitely recommend this place to stay.
We stayed here for our second year in a row for our annual river trip and it was the perfect place! Itâs very convenient to walk to the shops, restaurants, and bars and we had plenty of space to park the boat. The kitchen area has perfect grab and go breakfast/snacks and the porches were a great spot to sit and hang with our friends. The rooms are absolutely beautiful and Greg was a wonderful, helpful host!
All I can say is âWOWâ! I couldnât have found a more beautiful unique place to stay. Iâm so happy I chose Majestic Jewel! I most definitely will return, hopefully soon!
The room was beautiful and spacious. The location was perfect allowing for walks to the different squares and two blocks from downtown and restaurants. The only minus was the lack of a standard walk-in shower. It made showering after the beach very awkward being you had to kneel or sit and worry about spraying water everywhere. Otherwise, our stay was perfect!
It was a long, cold, and miserable drive to Apalachacola. We were relieved to get there. Unfortunately when we got to the Majestic Jewel and arrived at our room, it was very cold. To their credit, they responded quickly to the issue and by the time we got back from dinner the room was a bit warmer. The room and accessories were beautiful and the linens were plush. We unpacked and settled down. We turned on the TV and what a mess.
Most Cable or Satellite companies have guides that make it easy to find a program and channel. Not this one. The instructions in room guide are out dated. We could never figure out how to navigate the channels. They need to update this and make it easier to use.
I was feeling dirty so I wanted to take a shower. The bathroom is beautiful and wonderfully appointed but the shower is not there. It is in the living area. Something that I could not get used to. I could not get the water hot. We asked them about it and they again responded quickly. It still took about 5 minutes to get warm water each day we were there. In both instances when we called, they responded quickly although we don't think that those issues should be issues.
We thought when booking this property that it was a Bed and Breakfast. It's not. It is a beautiful room in a wonderful house. No breakfast in the traditional sense. They do leave cereal, milk etc.
They could do some work to make the kitchen area feel less sterile and the outside side of the house more appealing.
Lastly, this is the only 'B&B' that we did not meet the hosts. One of the charming aspects of a 'B&B' is meeting them. It creates the right kind of atmosphere.
Wonderful, historical. We enjoyed our week. Relaxed, rejuvenated and explored the area. We had a really comfortable space and alot of amenities. A beautiful place to stay! We could walk to taprooms, brewery etc.
We has such a wonderful time staying here. It was peaceful and relaxing. The room was great and the porches were heavenly! We plan to visit again and hopefully soon!
The house and room was amazing. The large soaking tub was a great addition.
The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We canât wait for our next visit.
This is a beautifully restored historic home that is convenient to the town. When we were there in March, there was no host on site. And the town was quiet. Restaurants were mostly closed on Sunday and Monday.
The room (Ebony Rouge) was spacious and surprising it felt quite private despite being on the first floor. Lots of snacks and beverages available 24 hr. The bed was unbelievably comfortable.
What an amazing time we had! This house is so cool. The suite we stayed in was so beautiful. Appalachacola is a step back in time. Staying here really sealed the deal. It was so clean and the bed slept great. The host June was so wonderful her gardening skills are to envy. She thought of everything from snacks to candy to the well set up coffee station. We will definitely be back soon!
My boyfriend and I stayed in the Ebony Rouge suite over 4th of July weekend. The building is located right next to the heart of downtown, but the space is incredibly calming. We really appreciated the excellent black out curtains, massive bathtub, and comfortable king size bed. We hope to stay here on our visits to Apalachicola in the future.
Beautiful 1908 mansion, charming old Florida. It was very comfortable and relaxing to stay there. June and Greg are very friendly and welcoming, excellent hosts. They have thought of every convenience to make a wonderful stay.
Greg & June's dream came true when they purchased this historic home in Apalachicola! They were determined to bring this jewel back to life! With the help of a few good friends & countless electricians & plumbers, their vision became a reality!
They love sharing their home & the charming little town of Apalachicola with guests. After selling their import business in 2020, they are able to spend about 70% of the month in Apalachicola & the remainder at their home in Atlanta. Although they are not in residence 100% of the time, they welcome requests from guests who prefer to visit while they are there.
In 2017, seeking to simplify life, the search was on for an opportunity to open a "small" business in Apalachicola. All roads kept leading back to the old bank on Avenue E. It had so much potential yet had been sitting dark & empty for almost 8 years! It was originally built in 1908 as a private residence for the family of a prominent German immigrant who made his wealth in the dry goods industry in Apalachicola. It remained in the Flatauer family until the 1980's when it was bought, restored & converted into a bank & insurance agency. The old bank lobby is now the Hospitality Lobby & guest kitchenette. History of the home & its people are exhibited here.
Staying at the Majestic Jewel Inn is the best way to experience southern grandeur in the charming little town of Apalachicola! It is located in the center of the historic district & less than 2 blocks from the town! Walk to restaurants, galleries, shops & pubs or stroll around the neighborhood. The river wharf & the bay are only a 4 block walk. Beauty literally surrounds us! For beach lovers, St George Island is a 10 minute drive & Cape San Blas is 20 minutes.
The veranda wraps around 3 sides of the Majestic Jewel! It is the best place to relax & catch the breeze!
