Easter Getway

Fabulous! I love that they provide beach chairs, wagon, towels and a shibumi tent. If you have children there are also some noodles and sand toys. There is a pickle ball court and pool right across from the house. The backyard is adorable with pink adirondack chairs around a fire pit with string lights hanging above. I highly recommend this house. It was our 2nd time staying here.

Gorgeous, Well Stocked Home & Great Location

My family had a wonderful stay at Villa Azul. The house looks exactly like the pictures- beautifully decorated, extremely clean and incredibly well stocked. We have rented homes all across the country and never had as many included items- loads of beach gear, towels, kitchen & cooking supplies, spices and oils for meals, food storage items, the owners thought of everything. The home is darling and only a few minutes walk to the beach. The fenced back yard was great for our dog. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

Amazing property, host, and location

We just got back from a week vacation with our two kids. The house was perfect for six of us (four adults and two kids) and we loved Cape San Blas. Low key but still plenty of restaurants near by. The house was a quick easy walk to the beach even with lots of gear. The best part was the host. She was super helpful and responsive. I would highly recommend renting any of her homes!

Beautiful getaway at Cape San Blas

Villa Azul is a gorgeous Home in a quaint Neighborhood on the peninsula Cape San Blas just off the coast of Port Saint Joe. We had a lovely week in this beautiful designer home with so many upgrades! We had a relaxing vacation away from crowds, but everything we could need within a few minutes drive. Don’t hesitate to book your vacation, Lula is a great host and provided so much helpful information and support! Even went to the trouble of returning items we had left behind!

Wonderful home

We had a great experience at Villa Azul. We enjoyed the welcome gift and nice bottle of wine! The property was very clean and well kept. We brought our fur baby to the property and she was also given complimentary treats and a clean set of dishes for her food and water. This was the nicest place we have stayed at vacationing at VRBO properties. The kitchen was well stocked with items to get you started and also had a nice coffee bar. The home was quiet, nicely decorated and very close to the beach. Speaking of beach, everything you needed to use at the beach was provided. Two wagons, 4 beach chairs, 2 regular chairs, umbrella and a Shibumi Shade. The Shibumi Shade worked great! There were also beach toys, we didn't use them as we have grown children. The pool was nice and clean and appeared to be well taken care of. We would certainly stay here again if we come back to the area.

Perfection!!

Best host and absolutely exquisite beach house. Literally all you need to bring is your bathing suit! This house has it all! Kitchen is well equipped with pots, pans, and spices for cooking. Fully stocked coffee bar with Kuerig brewer and pods. All necessities included right down to the spa quality toiletries in all the bathrooms. Perfect location for biking on the trail and beach. Great neighborhood to walk the dogs and plenty of room for them to run in the fenced backyard. It is a beautiful home and we did not want to leave!

Short trip to Cape San Blas in January

The home exceeded my expectations. Very clean and the host provided us with lots of nice "start-up" supplies to save you going to the Piggly Wiggly first thing after a long drive. They have everything you would need for the beach - chairs, carts, noodles, toys, etc. - which would save people a lot of space if travelling with kids. They had a nice welcome bag of things for two legged and four legged guests and a bottle of wine on the counter. The house has a nice layout with the master on the ground floor - huge bathroom, comfortable bed and pillows. The other two rooms were upstairs and shared a porch. The small fenced in yard was a big plus, since we brought our dog, and it saved having to hook them to a leash for any middle of the night bathroom needs. The fence is a decent height too, which will keep you from worrying about anyone escaping. They have quality cookware and should have everything you need to prepare meals. Plenty of drink cups and plates. I can't say enough about the home, and we hope to return again, once we forget how long the ride is from the Mid- Atlantic area, lol.

First let me say that the pictures do not do the house justice. It is so adorable! Our family had the most wonderful stay. She had thought of everything you could ever want or need in a vacation home. The kitchen is fabulous! The beds are soo comfy and all the beach gear you could ever need.

Perfect House - Perfect Stay

We are so happy we chose the rental for our vacation. Plenty of space and the owners have thought of literally everything! The house is appointed nicely, decorated beautifully, and met all of our hopes for our vacation. Beds are comfortable and there is plenty of space inside and out to relax. So close to the ocean plus the added bonus of a fenced private yard, pool, and Pickleball! Ocean rentals (kayaks, paddle boards) literally across the street on the bay side of you need them. We rented a couple paddle boards and carried them back to the gulf. We would choose this stay again in a heartbeat. Owners were helpful, communicated clearly and were absolutely great. This is about as good as it can get.

Superior Experience!

As a regular VRBO user and frequent traveler I’m not easily impressed, but this rental experience stands out in nearly every way. From day one, communication with Luly was great and she went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed as our dates approached. The property is essentially brand new as indicated in the photos, but what stands out are the attention to detail and countless little touches that made us that much more comfortable. Everything you need for the kitchen and beach trips (towels, wagon, chairs, floats, toys) is provided. Lots of extras for pets as well. Location is ideal with super easy beach access. While construction is ongoing, there were no noise issues and the pool and pickle ball amenities appear to be open already. This property will not disappoint.

About the host

Hosted by Luly Allen

Host profile image
I'm a Registered Nurse working as a Case Manager. I initially worked bedside as a Cardiac and Epilepsy Monitoring Unit floor nurse then moved to Oncology Nursing. My patients were the best and made me a better human. I am a wife, and mother residing in Miami! I love my work, the beach, art, family time, everything design, supporting local artisans and small businesses! It was an easy transition from caring for my patients to hosting our guests! My goal with Villa Azul is to bring Miami flair to the Forgotten Coast to ensure guests leave with an unforgettable stay! I hope you enjoy Villa Azul and see the love, fun-cool vibe and attention to detail I have put into it. I've been in your shoes as a guest of short term rentals and took all the positives from everywhere I've been to provide guests an exceptional vacay!

Why they chose this property

Villa Azul has an excellent location, secluded enough for privacy and relaxation and close enough to various downtowns like Cape San Blas proper, Port St. Joe, Apalachicola and Mexico Beach for fun, shopping, dining, and history! We have delish cuisine for everyone, from Smokehouse BBQ, a 7 min walk from the villa to fresh oysters at Uptown Raw Bar, coal fired pizza at Joe Mama's, homemade donuts at Weber's Little Donuts to ice cream at Shoobies! Shopping, you ask? Downtown Port St. Joe will not disappoint with Going Coastal, Joseph's Cottage or Shirley's Boutique, with unique finds and local artisan goodies. Cocktails you wonder? Try craft cocktails at the Parlor Bar at the Gibson, a historic hotel in Apalachicola or the bar at Joe Mama's, they make a mean Mojito!

If you like cooking with your family, you will love our open concept kitchen stocked with all the kitchenware and appliances you need to have an amazing meal. Don't worry if you need groceries, there is a mart 7 minutes away on the Cape or Piggly Wiggly is 15 minutes away!

Our beaches are one of the best! The Emerald Coast does not disappoint! Grab one of the wagons, beach chairs and umbrella--all provided complimentary, and enjoy our gorgeous waters or sunsets. You can even have a bonfire with your family and friends.

There is something for everyone to have the best Villa Azul Vacay!

What makes this property unique

Villa Azul has all master bedrooms, with en suite baths all with brand new 12" pillow top hybrid mattresses. The King Master is on the first level, perfect for multi-generational families and the other two on the second level. We are nestled between the Emerald Coast and St. Joseph’s Bay, so you have magnificent views of sunrises and sunsets.

The villa is a 2-minute walk from your front door through our neighbor boardwalk to the beautiful gulf beaches, 2 wagons are provided along with lots of beach gear in the deck box outside and in the closet across from the powder room. Go for a swim, walk on the beach, collect shells, or even have a on fire at night and gaze upon the twinkling stars. Please remember to leave no trace and pick up after yourselves. We love our pristine beaches and want to maintain them for everyone to enjoy.

I set up the villa to make it comfy, stylish and feel like a fun getaway for everyone with beach goodies, games, books, a fun fire pit area, and café lights outside!

Please enjoy and if there is anything you need, let me know, my goal is to make your stay memorable!
