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.

Family Vacation

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. This is by far our favorite place.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

It was short walk to the beautiful beach through the neighborhood and down the boardwalk. I appreciated that a beach wagon, chairs, and other beach gear was available. We also enjoyed the fire table and neighborhood amenities. Communication was super quick from the host. I would definitely recommend staying here and would stay here again!
