Thoroughly Enjoyed It
We stayed at Two Palms from December 4 Through Jan 4 and thoroughly enjoyed it. The weather was amazingly good, the house very well-equipped and comfortable, and the beach beautiful. We would definitely stay again.

We Fell in Love
Our visit to the cape was everything we could have wanted. Both the owner Peter and the property manager Candy were wonderful to work with. The house is beautifully decorated and It felt as if we had the beach to ourselves. We had adventures catching crabs in Money Bayou and building a fire on the beach was definitely a highlight of the trip. The house is well stocked and comfortable. I recommend Two Palms and I would stay there again.

GREAT BEACH HOME!
We stayed at Two Palms September 19 – 26, 2019 and we really enjoyed our stay. We rate our stay with 5 stars! Peter, Lydia, Candy and the team were very helpful and informative. The wide and secluded beach was amazing and the beach walkway and decking to the house provided great space to sunbathe, grill, hot tub and star-watch. The stars have to be seen to be believed. We also enjoyed Muddy Bayou and watching the crabs moving in and around Muddy Bayou with the tide. And the shells, best shell finding area we’ve seen. Thanks again Peter, Lydia, and Candy for all your help.

Two Palms Villa Right on the Beach
The house had basically everything we could need for enjoying a week at the beach! We have rented many houses in the Port St Joe/ Cape San Blas area, and have never enjoyed so many little extras at our disposal. As two families traveling together, with 7 kids between us, I have to say there were more than enough beds to sleep on! The two trundles you offer are genius! My favorite thing is that it’s practically on the beach. So convenient with little ones in tow. Your manager went above and beyond to make our vacation excellent.

Have Your Own Private Beach!
This was our first time to Port St Joe/Cape San Blas area and we will be back! This beach house had everything you could want and the boardwalk literally is on the beach. Easy to get kids to stay out of the house when your staying on the beach. The owners and property manager were both very informational and willing to help us any way we needed. Not to mention your away from all the hustle and bustle and the beach is your own private beach….can’t ask for more than that!! We are ready to plan our next trip back!! Thanks for a great much needed family vacation!!

We Loved Two Palms!
We loved Two Palms! The house was clean and just as described. The location was amazing for our family of 7! We had a large stretch of the beach to ourselves. Everything we needed for the beach was provided (towels and chairs). Having three outdoor showers was VERY helpful with kids. They loved showering in the private shower. Candy and Peter were very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be going back!

Two Palms Villa is Back, Better Than Ever!
We stayed at Two Palms for the fifth year in a row this June, and the house is back better than ever after Michael! All of the original amenities that we enjoy every year were still available (hot tub, kayaks, SUP, screened-in porch, barbecue grills, etc.), but the improvements were what stood out the most to us. The new deck is HUGE, and they have ramps leading up and down from it to the beach and the outdoor living space underneath. The hot tub is now sunk into the deck, which is a nice touch, and there is some nice shade to be had on the deck while grilling fresh fish in the evening hours. We spent a lot more time on the deck (and new lower sundeck), chilling with our dogs over a couple drinks or our coffee in the morning. I also loved the outdoor living area underneath, with much more space than before and a convenient picnic table. That was the staging area for my fishing gear (and I bring a lot), and a nice breezy, shady area to organize tackle and tie knots, cool off from the beach, etc.
The owners, Peter and Lydia, are as wonderful as ever to work with, and aim to please at every turn. I look forward to my annual call to Peter the week before we arrive, to hear about what is going on in CSB and Port St. Joe, new restaurants, fishing charters, etc. Their property manager, Candy, is also a pleasure to work with. She greeted us when we arrived and is a great resource of information about the house and area. We can’t wait to get back to our family vacation getaway next year!

Best Family Vacations in a Long Time!
Began searching in January 2019 for a beach house at Cape San Blas. When we stumbled on Two Palms Villa located On The Beach, I knew this was it! Stayed in touch with the owners, Peter & Lydia Burns. (Burns Management) Once the clean up & construction on this hidden gem was complete, they posted pictures. All new decks, walkway to beach w/bench, additional bedroom,Smart TV w/Sirius XM, large kitchen w/large sink, all the amenities you could ask for & more… recommend checking this out before booking. Was like our own private beach, our Grandkids & Grandtoddlers and Waylon our Lab loved playing and running in the White Sand. Candy greeted our first arrivals, we had a packed house! Both Candy and the owners were available to answer any questions, Peter & Lydia took care of our only issue… the trash pick up in a matter of 1 hour. By far this was the best family vacation in a long time. Our 3 Son’s, their family and Nana along with Waylon will have ever lasting memories of our stay at Two Palms Villa. Lot’s of family time, fire on the beach w/smores. Of course we enjoyed the Hot Tub. Cannot wait until next year. Blessed to have all together for a short week. Many thanks to Lydia & Peter Burns and Candy and Kit!!!

Great Location, Right On the Beach!
Two Palms is a great house that is directly on the beach. The only thing separating Two Palms to the ocean is a new deck, the private boardwalk and sand. The location of the house was great for our family as we enjoyed the ability to easily walk back and forth, from the house to the beach, without the worry of packing for the beach each day. Access to a gas and charcoal grill made cooking very easy. The kids all enjoyed the hot tub, kayaks and paddle boards that were included with the rental. The house was clean, had nice furniture, and plenty of room for the 9 of us. We especially liked all the seating in the screened in porches and on the lower patio. There was construction going on with the house next door during our week, but it wasn’t a bother as they worked reasonable hours. I’m sure by now they are done with the outside so the disturbance would be minimal. With that, both Peter and Candy were very accommodating and ensured we had everything that we needed. Thanks for a great vacation!

TWO PALMS VILLA WAS AWESOME!
My extended family and I rented both Two Palms Villa and Three Palms Compound, the week of April 20 to April 27. This was our second trip to Two Palms, and we wanted to support the Owner’s and Gulf County recovery effort!
2 Palms was a great getaway. There were awesome renovations and improvements since Hurricane Michael. It is was an excellent beach house, last year. Now it is simply Fantastic! The house has everything you might need while on vacation. The Kitchen has everything you could imagine and more. Waking up in the master bedroom with spectacular views and enjoying coffee on the beach while taking in the dolphins in shallow water right in front of the house was a treat! The hot tub was a nice spot to relax in at the end of each day, and they repositioned it so that you can easily step down into it. This was only house on the beach that had a boardwalk and Deck constructed.
The new Deck with ramps and gates is 2 to 3X’s larger than before and is just exceptional. There are so many amenities it would take pages to list them all. We loved the 3 outdoor showers, sitting/living area next to carport, new Kid’s Bedroom with 1/2 Bath, Loft/Fort area and Smart TV. The new circular driveway is great for trailers and large vehicles. Huge stainless sink, brand new flooring on main floor and 2 Huge Lifeguard Chairs on Deck.
Two Palms Villa has come back better than ever, as has Gulf County. There is still construction everywhere, but great strides have been made! The Beach and Gulf of Mexico are Huge and gorgeous. This stretch of Cape San Blas here is so wide and low density we much prefer this area of the Cape. Great fishing as well! Two Palms Villa is an Oasis amongst the destruction of Hurricane Michael. A sanctuary.
Finally, kudos to Peter and Lydia, the owner’s, who are so easy to work with and extremely accommodative. They jumped on the recovery quickly and rebuilt with a vengeance, Great Job. They provide Four Season Service. They take so much time and energy to make sure everything is good and that you are happy. The on-site manager, Candy Baird, is simply the best and unbelievable with adding value to you your vacation experience. A legitimate “Dream Merchant” who puts and keeps this whole one of kind vacation thriving.
We will be returning next year for a third time, next year!
THE NEW TWO PALMS VILLA POST HURRICANE IS AWESOME!

We had extended stay at Two Palms Villa (5 weeks) and were the first renters since Hurricane Michael (Oct.2018) and all the repairs and awesome improvements had been completed. We had the most wonderful time at this very beautiful home on the beach. Beach front location was ideal as we love to go shelling, beach walking, kayaking and most importantly fishing, which was awesome while we were there. The home is newly updated from Hurricane Michael and beautiful. It was very clean and included new grills, hot tub, screened in porches and deck areas to enjoy the beautiful views. The home was equipped with wonderful amenities; washer/dryer, dishwasher, outdoor showers, beautiful decks and so much more. There are many games for family members to enjoy as well, shuffle board, horseshoes and lots of other items. Two Palms is centrally located to Port St Joe, Apalachicola, Cape San Blas and a nice drive to Panama City/Beach.
Most importantly the Burns were very prompt in communicating and wanted nothing more than for us to enjoy our vacation and be comfortable. Candy, the home manager was wonderful. She was always available to answer any questions and a pleasure to work with.
We have been home for two days and have already REBOOKED for next year…it was a perfect vacation and we are so looking forward to returning to Two Palms. Thank you to the Burns and Candy.
March 2019 – OWNER COMMENTS:
Hurricane Michael caused severe damage to Two Palms Villa and as a result was shut down for repairs from Oct. 2018 until March 2019. We are not only open, we have made major upgrades and improvements and the New Two Palms Villa is AWESOME! There were no rentals during this period and thus we have no Reviews from late September 2018 until March 2019. Check out our website and Videos-Peter J.

![]() Two Palms is a beach house rental gem! It very comfortably sleeps 10 people and has very thoughtful extras that help to make the rental experience over-the-top. The kitchen has everything you’ll need to make cooking and eating-in easy for a large group. The grills, shuffleboard, horseshoe pit, tvs, good pillows/beds, nice deck furniture, kayaks and paddleboard really add so much to making it a place where you have all the extras to make for a great vacation and great memories. The owner really cares that you are comfortable in his home and it shows.
JOHN DAVIS-Georgia Great Balcony off Master Bedroom! ![]() Date of Stay Feb 19 to 25, 2018 Family of 5 and 2 dogs. First time to the St. Joe/Cape San Blas area. Love the dog friendly beaches, bonfires on the beach, kayaking on Money Bayou, views of beach from screen porch and upper balcony off of master (our favorite). Peter and Kelley (the property manager) are so welcoming and accommodating. The house is comfortable with lots of locations for reading and taking in the spectacular views. We enjoyed the close proximity of Indian Pass Raw Bar and Provisions in PSJ. Beach was never crowded. Enjoyed taking day trips to Apalachicola, Touring Cape San Blas, Walking in Downtown PSJ. Kids had a blast setting a bait trap (an accommodation of the house) in Money Bayou and making daily trips to see their catch. Home is situated so one can view the sun rise and sunset. Did I mention the balcony off of the master bed room upstairs?!? Truly a special place with fun, relaxation for the whole family. Not sure who had more fun, the dogs, us or kids. Keith Hooper- Ph.d- Rome, GA. DATE of STAY; FEB. 16, 2018 ![]() Amazing Stay! 5-Star WOW! What a marvelous place to travel to on your next beach vacation! I cannot speak highly enough about the owners Peter and Lydia Burns. These two truly go out of their way to make sure their guests have the best experience possible in their home. We booked this property for presidents day weekend and it was a last minute cancellation. Peter and his wife were able to quickly reserve the rental, payment was easy, and arriving was even easier. We were greeted with a box of treats and a bottle of wine as well as had chairs and a beach tent set up awaiting our walk to the beach! The home is in great shape, very cozy and has everything you need from as a traveler. We did not take advantage of the kayaks or the hot tub but it was available for use. The beach location is very convenient, EASY walk right down the boardwalk. We would definitely return for our next trip! Take advantage of the excellent care, and great house directly on the beach!

Two Palms Villa is AWESOME!
![]() Date of Stay: Dec 8, 2017
This is the second time my husband and I have stayed at a property run by Peter. This time we brought our two little dogs. They enjoyed playing on the beach as much as we did! This is the coolest area to hang out with your pets and the beach here is absolutely beautiful and huge.
The home was fully stocked and absolutely spotless when we arrived. The kitchen is wonderful and has so many appliances and helpful utensils it was a joy to cook in. The small touches (like several spices to choose from while cooking) definitely made our stay special. You can’t beat the views at Two Palms Villa. They are some of the prettiest views we’ve seen in this area.
With 2 vacant lots next door, and nature preserve across the street, there is a vast amount of space and privacy. The main screened in deck is so comfortable and has plenty of comfortable seating to take in the gorgeous scenery. Waking up to sunrise and waves was tops. With no light pollution the stars are unobstructed. So Peaceful.
There is an outdoor shower with a doggie hose attached to wash their paws, and your feet. The homes has motion detector solar lights that shine brightly on the two grills and steps and light the way to the hot tub. We loved using the hot tub after a fun day and watching the sunset into the Gulf. I could go on and on about this home. I wish all the homes we’ve stayed at were this nice and well cared for. I highly recommend a stay at Two Palms Villa for a peaceful retreat. You will be well taken care of. I rate this a 5 Star out 5 , stop looking , this is the place to stay. Book this place!

Thank You, Marilyn, for your feedback! There is a lot of Beach Erosion on Cape San Blas, and this area is very low density and the beach is actually getting larger. It is very wide and houses are not stacked on top of each other. This provides tons of room and privacy for you and your dog. Donna your private Red Neck Concierge is extremely helpful and will help you with anything. She has your back!

Unforgettable Vacation at Two Palms Villa
![]() Date of Stay:Aug 4, 2017
We had a vacation that is unforgettable. It was a perfect location, the Money Bayou was way off to the left, the beach was right in front of the house–this is a big deal. We’ve stayed at Cape San Blas every year and it’s hit or miss with houses that are ‘on the beach’. Sometimes you have to share a pier with several other houses, or climb over dunes. This is a short pier and flat walk –about 25 steps to the beach. The beach is fantastic because it’s not a touristy beach. There are very few people (if any) on it. It feels like you’re on a paradise island. We enjoyed every single moment from sun up to sun down. The hot tub was a treasure after a long day exploring the Cape. The home was beautiful both inside and out and the owners were very helpful and welcoming. We definitely decompressed, made some sand sculptures, toured the beach daily and caught a lot of sand crabs (quick little buggers.) I highly recommend this location Sincerely, A seasoned Cape San Blas vacationer.

Amazing – Private – Spacious – Perfect
![]() Date of Stay: Jul 14, 2017
I could not say enough about this house. It was amazing. Plenty of room for privacy, as well as gatherings. The beach is clean, everyone is friendly, and away from it all. You can have pets on the beach, drive on the beach (with a pass), there is plenty of marine life available, shrimp, crabs, fish, pelicans, you name it, it is there. You have space on the beach to spread out, the screened porch is awesome for morning coffee and if you are lucky to get the master room on the 3rd floor, morning coffee overlooking the ocean in the mornings is breathtaking. Everything you can possibly need or want is at this house. Lots to do from relaxing, to kayaks, crabbing, shuffle board, board games, cooking out and all. Again, a great house with plenty of room, a phone call will bring you a brownie pan or bowl, the house is super clean and oh before I forget the beds and linens are super comfortable. The beds are not old and sunk in (like some places) they have quality sheets, quality pillows, great towels and updated appliances. Truly a hidden gem with EVERYTHING you can think of and more!!!
My Response: Rachelle, thank you for your comments! Two Palms Villa is a Special Place and we work very hard to make it, and keep it that way. The Beach is huge, uncrowded and very private. We appreciate you noticing the SPECIAL little things we do……. Comfortable Beds, Soft Sheets and Pillows, Towels, our Stocked Kitchen and our VERY Comfortable Decks! Most of all our special secret, Donna, our Concierge, who brought over brownie pans, bowls and dish towels. She is Dream Merchant and Loves to help our guests with anything. We look forward to having you back again, soon. Peter B.
