Once finished, the couple proceeded to name the home after its first owner, lumber baron James Coombs, a Union Army veteran from Maine. All of the Inn's nineteen rooms include a seamlessly installed private bathroom along with telephone and cable television. Ten of the deluxe bedrooms have an enchanting decorative fireplace. Each of the guest rooms is tastefully decorated with unique antique furnishings, Damask-patterned fabrics, and English chintz draperies, and small Asian carpets that add a splash of color to the rooms, along with queen and king sized beds, televisions, and telephones. For those of you traveling with family, you might want to stay in the Carriage House which consists of a living room, kitchen, and private bathroom and bedroom.
Guests enjoy a hearty continental breakfast served each morning in the original formal dining room.
Apalachicola is a quiet town with quiet activities. This historic district houses many shops, galleries, and a variety of seafood restaurants. Fishing is a popular pastime, as well as boating and swimming at the nearby beaches. Just a short distance away are the pristine white sand beaches of St. George Island. Some say this sand is the finest and whitest of any beach their toes have touched.
