Amazing!

We loved our stay at Peachy Palms! We found the condo airy and very clean, well stocked with all the necessary kitchen items needed for the week. We loved that there are two pool options, one close to the unit, bicycles to ride, pickleball equipment, beach cart, beach chairs and umbrellas were also provided. My grandkids enjoyed feeding the turtles in the pond. We loved that it is a quiet complex and family friendly beach. A slower vibe, which I loved. We are glad we found Cape San Blas, we will be back!

Angela and her family was exactly the kind of guests every host hopes for. Great communication, clean and tidy, and very respectful. Five stars! We're so glad you enjoyed your first trip to Cape San Blas and we're so thankful we had the pleasure to host you. We look forward to hosting you again in the future!

Fantastic Getaway!!

The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. All 3 of us had a great time. The bikes were a great amenity. Two teenage girls rode them everyday to go get ice cream! Will definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

About the host

Hosted by Chris & Dodie Tidwell

Host profile image
Hi! We’re your hosts, Chris and Dodie Tidwell, and together with our three children, we’re truly delighted to host you at our beach home.

We’re from the peach state, Georgia. We first discovered Cape San Blas in 2020 while living full-time in our RV, and it was love at first sight. The pristine, uncrowded beaches, the untouched natural beauty, and the peaceful, laid-back atmosphere completely captured our hearts.

Just minutes away, the charming coastal town of Port St. Joe offers that historic Southern feel we adore — friendly faces, local shops, and a slower pace of life invites you to truly unwind.

We knew this was a place we wanted to one day put down roots — and share with others. That’s how our beach home was born: a welcoming space where families can gather, reconnect, and make lasting memories.

Whether you’re here for sunrise beach walks, shell collecting, fishing adventures, or simply relaxing with your toes in the sand, we hope you fall in love with this special area just like we did and that you enjoy your stay at our home away from home!
