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!

This property was perfect for us to stay at while we competed in a barbecue contest near battery Park. The home had every single thing we could possibly need. It was a very easy process to check in and check out. Thank you for a great stay.
