About the host
Hosted by Luly Allen
I'm 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 Blanca is to bring Miami flair to the Forgotten Coast to ensure guests leave with an unforgettable stay! I hope you enjoy Villa Blanca 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 Blanca has an excellent location, one block in from the beautiful Emerald Coast beaches of St. Joe. We are close enough to various downtowns like Mexico Beach, Windmark, Port St. Joe, Cape San Blas and Apalachicola for fun, shopping, dining, and history! We have delish cuisine for everyone, to choose from in downtown Port St. Joe, like 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 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 Piggly Wiggly is 10 minutes away! You can also contact Vacation Prep Squad and they will do the grocery shopping for you! I'm happy to provide you their details.
Our beaches are one of the best! The Emerald Coast does not disappoint! Grab a beach wagon, 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.
