Christmas at the Cape!

This property was absolutely wonderful! We celebrated Christmas and it felt so much like home. Our stay could not have been anymore perfect. The location was remote while remaining very close to town for grocery and restaurant trips. The beach is VERY private and dog friendly. The house itself was extremely dog friendly with a plethora of baby/dog gates and hardwood floors making it easy to clean. The rooms slept so many more than we needed in the best way! Perfect for kids as they have their own room with a super cool loft area. Every room had its own respective bathroom in or nearby. We cannot brag on this property enough. Very kid, dog, and family friendly. Will definitely be staying here again

First visit to the Port St Joe / Indian Pass area. The home owners went above and beyond in providing us with information about the area and even checked in on us during the week to make sure everything was going well. It is a beautiful home with great beach access.

Excellent vacation

Loved this vacation home. It was clean when we got there, had plenty of “things” to do but also had the beach pretty much all to ourselves. We had a great time. The owners and property manager with very helpful, friendly and accommodating. We would love to visit again. Port St Joe is a nice little town free from the hustle of the “party” towns.

Two Palms review

Great home right on the beach. Wonderful for families with children and/or dogs. Owner and property manager are both very accessible and helpful. On the second day of our stay, one of the air conditioning units broke. A new unit was installed the SAME day, and the property manager stayed till it was confirmed that everything was working. We had such a fun week with our children and grandchildren!

Great family house

The location of this Port St. Joe beach house simply cannot be beat. Steps to the sand, a beautiful beach with a very private feel. The house has everything you need for a comfortable getaway. We loved the screened porches with ample seating, and we took advantage of many of the beach amenities, especially the paddle boards and beach chairs. Though we didn’t use the hot tub, it was spacious and clean. The house offers easy indoor/outdoor living and really is perfect for a large family group. The house owner and the local house manager went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.

It’s about the view!

This place had a lovely view and the boardwalk and beach were top notch! The beach was quiet and the water was calm and perfect for kids. The neighborhood felt safe. The local town was very close. 8 minutes or so which offered grocery stores, many restaurants and boutiques. The house was large and spacious and the back deck was well equipped with many sturdy chairs tall enough to see the ocean with no obstruction of a banister. The owners were easy to communicate with and graceful.

We had an amazing time at Two Palms. It was a great house! Had all the accommodations we could ask for. The screened porches were perfect when the weather was not so good. The beach was tranquil with very few people around. The hosts were very informative and Jim was great with all the information about the house.

Two Palms is a great house right on the beach with large living areas and many extras! Our family of 11 was very happy with the house size, the porches, the hot tub and all the extras it offered! We used the kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, and games! Would definitely recommend this beautiful house!

New favorite!

My family has been taking a beach vacation for over 20 years. This was our first time in this area and we love it! Great beach and not too crowded. This property is awesome as well. Well stocked kitchen with many of the little things that we sometimes forget to bring ourselves. The beach chairs, beach towels, tent, kayaks, paddleboards were great!

Excellent beachfront home in great location

We stayed at Two Palms for the Thanksgiving week. Everything was wonderful and the house had everything we needed and more. We had other family memebers who stayed in other houses and Two Palms was the favorite. There was plenty of room to entertain and visit. If you are looking for a house in a beautiful location you should consider this home!

Quiet and peaceful with a view!

The Two-Palms Villa was a nice getaway for our family. Peter, the owner, was very informative prior to our arrival. We had 7!adults, one child, and two dogs and had plenty of room inside and out. Everyone enjoyed the house and the beach. The area is perfect for a quiet and peaceful vacation from the hustle and bustle of the typical tourist area that you find west of Port St. Joe. The proximity to money creek/bayou does create brackish water at times but no one really cared. They all want to go back next year.

Peace and Tranquility

If you are looking for a place to get away from it all, Two Palms is the place. Jim, the house manager, greeted us upon our arrival and even helped us with our luggages. He was very courteous and informative. The kitchen was one of the best well stocked kitchen we've seen in a rental, and other than a quick run to a nearby Piggly Wiggly for groceries, the house had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the linens were of good quality. There were several high quality beach chairs enough for a large family. To our delight, we saw several pods of dolphins on our second day, and one even swam next to a kayak we had taken out. We learned that Jim also works at a wine store not far from Two Palms, so if you enjoy good wine, we are certain Jim can help you with that too. The beach felt as if we owned it since we were the only ones on the beach at times, and we savored the solitude. It was rejuvenating. The hospitality extended by the Burns and Jim is the best we've experienced in VRBO. Peace and Tranquility were what we wanted out of this vacation, and Two Palms did not disappoint.

We loved the layout of the house, the view, the short walk to the beach, the hot tub, etc. It's very secluded, but the people we did meet were all friendly and fun. The owner and manager are very determined to make sure you have everything you need during your stay and will check on you while you're there. We had a wonderful time and would return!

About the host

Hosted by Lydia Burns

Host profile image
We are a family from a suburb in Chicago, Il. (Wilmette) who discovered Cape San Blas in 1998. We were so attracted to this beautiful area and this wonderful Gulf Front Beach home, called Two Palms, that we bought the house without me actually seeing the house. Boy we were lucky!!! What a great house and gorgeous area.
We stand ready to provide you with a value added and magical vacation experience. Our private manager/concierge, Jim, who lives in town will be there to help you in any way and will take care of any problem or emergency you may have. We are also a phone call away from helping you in any way we can.
Thanks and Enjoy!!!!
Peter and Lydia Burns- Burns Management

Why they chose this property

The beach is really large and wide here. There were/are 2 vacant lots to the East of our property and allows for wide angle and gorgeous unobstructed views of The Gulf of Mexico.
Check out our reviews and especially our value added service with our new Concierge, Manager- Jim who lives in town. WE GOT YOUR BACK! We can not promise that there will not be a problem or issue......BUT we can promise we will provide solutions IMMEDIATELY!
The lot is almost a full acre and there is only Two Palms between the highway (County Road C-30-A) and the Gulf of Mexico. Finally, on the other side of the road, is a huge Buffer /Preservation Reserve that has no houses or buildings on it. This is an extremely low density area, very private and views as a far as the eye can see. Enjoy the Hot Tub right on the deck for gorgeous views of the Gulf of Mexico, Beach and Brilliant Stars!!

What makes this property unique

This is one of the few Pet Friendly Beaches in the U.S. and the beach at the State Park was rated the BEST beach in the U.S. in 2003. Fishing is out of this world with some of the best and freshest shrimp, oysters, crab, scallops and Grouper you will find anywhere!! Lastly, there are no buildings permitted in Gulf County taller than 3 stories. There are no GIANT condos on the beach.
Bon Fires are permitted on the beach, car permits for driving on the beach are available and there is a very long bike path out to the State Park. Bike rentals are available.
We now have 4 Kayaks available for your personal use. A Two person and One person Ocean Going kayaks and a SUP Board.
