From the wrath of Hurricane Ida –Two Palms has been restored. The house is beautiful, inviting, comfortable and complete. This was our fourth year at Indian Pass and our second at Two Palms. It was wonderful to be back and the house was even more beautiful than before. We went seeking solitude and a place to rejuvenate ourselves. Two Palms provided. The weather was perfect as always-for January- cool sunny days, starry nights, flaming sunsets, brilliant thunderstorms and howling winds that brought abundant shells to the shores. Two Palms was the perfect shelter to take it all in. The white sand beach is wide and beautiful and we could walk for hours in either direction with our Lab and have it all to ourselves. The kitchen was fully equipped right down to the last detail. The furnishings were new, attractive and comfortable, and the beds, new linens and towels offered the pampered finishing touch. The front porch was our favorite spot providing shelter from sun, wind or rain. The winter sun rises and sets on the porch and we brought an extra blanket just for that purpose. Moving the hot tub to the lower front porch was a brilliant idea and so well thought out, creating another vantage point to enjoy the sunset and the moonrise. Within minutes we could have our kayaks in the water either in Saint Joe’s Bay or the bay at Indian Pass. We were even lucky enough to paddle with the dolphins at sunset. Port St. Joe is 20 minutes west with great grocery shopping at the Piggly Wiggly, a wine shop and restaurants. Our favorite is the Coastal Grill. We picked up groceries on the way in and only had to go into town once for supplies and dinner out. Thirty minutes east will take you in to Apalachicola, an old Florida experience with a rich history, quaint shops and wonderful restaurants. Two Palms is the perfect retreat. The Burns and their staff are friendly and eager to be of assistance and are only a phone call away. But with this fully equipped, beautiful home we didn’t have a need or want for anything. Thank you for another wonderful escape to Indian Pass. See you next year!

2Palms Review - Cape San Blas

Interacting with Peter and Lydia from the initial booking was a breeze. They were very communicative, patient and accommodating with my 40th birthday beach plans. When I arrived I was immediately and immensely impressed with this house. Not only does it have an air of authenticity as far as how a beach house is supposed to look and feel, but I audibly gasped at the layout of the house. It was way more expansive than the pictures posted online. The large open space in the living/dining/kitchen area meant that my friends, who are big on cooking, could gather in the kitchen all at once and comfortably prepare several meals at the same time. Although, we brought additional pots and pans, and appliances (we are big foodies) the kitchen was very well stocked.
I never got the chance to meet Donna, the property manager but I spoke to her over the phone a few times and she was gracious. Once I had a problem turning off the outside shower and within 10 minutes, Andy came over with a wrench and fixed it for us. We were stunned at how fast he arrived.
We swam in the gulf with at least a dozen dolphins parading in the waters behind us, caught crabs, grilled and sat in the hot tub which is conveniently located near the grills. I could say more, but I won't. Go see for yourself :-)
I have been to the Cape multiple times, and this is my very first review, and I would and will unequivocally stay and recommend this place over and over again. It's not one to disappoint.
PS - Don't forget your bug spray;-)
Thanks again.

Vacation at Two Palms

Our annual girls trip to the beach is always a special event and we look forward to spending time on the beach. We love the Cape San Blas/Indian Pass area and especially the beautiful beaches. Two Palms is a lovely home with great interior colors with plenty of room. The owners were great to work with we felt the price was within our budget, We did have rain during our stay and we took that time to visit the area and check out shopping and the restaurants nearby. We look forward to returning to this area again.
