About the host
Hosted by Luly Allen
I'm the Host of Pink Door Vacay and 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!
