4.4 out of 5Nice comfortable B&B in Apalachicola
May 08, 2013
Very accommodating we arrived late and the inn keeper made arrangements for us to access our room after normal hours. Bed and room very comfortable. Setting very nice. We borrowed bicycles and enjoyed all that Apalachicola has to offer. We would return again.
4.4 out of 5First class stay!
April 28, 2013
I was very impressed by Coombs Inn attention to detail. The towels had a freshness like no other inn where I have stayed. Both coffee mugs and insulated cups were provided for the room coffee maker. These may not seem like much but when you attend to the details it make for a great stay. I'll be back!

April 24, 2013
The Innkeepers (Tam & Scott) were delightful and quite accommodating. We very much enjoyed our stay. Only negative was the busy/noisy highway which unfortunately our room faced, preventing us from having a restful sleep. We would stay there again but in a different room.

April 15, 2013
Okay to convince my husband to stay in a bed and breakfast was a huge feat. After the weekend he was amazed at the service and the care in details everything was. He has told me we will be staying there again. The stay was wonderful.
4.0 out of 5Review of room
April 12, 2013
We were overjoyed with our entire experience with the exception of the cleanliness of the room. The bed was clean but the blinds and furniture were not properly cleaned. All had oily polish left on just part of the furniture of some had never been dusted and had 1 inch of dust covering blinds and trim. A mess to say the least. It has beautiful furnishings, food and associates. We loved our stay and will return and hope this problem is addressed immediatly.
5 out of 5Wonderful Seaside Village
April 09, 2013
We had an Outstanding stay at Coombs! People are missing out on a relaxing and fun visit and an opportunity to learn more about the harvest of oysters, sponges and shrimping. The area, including St. George Island (SGI) and light house, is awesome. Apalachicola has some of the best "fresh" seafood you can find and the restaurants are very reasonably priced. Be sure to check out "The Hut" on SGI for great devised crabs, The Owl Cafe for wonderful Black Grouper and shrimp, AJ's Neighborhood Grill for a variety of seafood, and Boss Oyster for 28 varieties of oysters. We had heard good things about Tamara's Cafe, but had to leave before ordering because of the extremely poor service at their store---the only negative to our visit. Coombs staff is very gracious and available at all times...Don't miss their breakfast! The Historic District and most restaurants are within close and easy walking distance. A large number of restaurants are on or have a view of the Apalachicola River. The Maritime Museum is a great visit, also. Coombs is the definite place to be in this village.

March 15, 2013
We Stay 6 weeks in March and April in St. Augustine FL each year. Each year we do a side trip with friends to some other area to see the countryside. This year we chose Apalachicola and were not disappointed! Found the Coombs Inn and loved the our stay. This area is were Oysters are hand harvested and fresh to the table each day. Destiny our inn host was great in pointing us to the local place for dinning and we loved every place we ate.
