Home Sweet Home: A Note From The Homeowner- Welcome to Gulf Jewel, our cherished beach house. From the moment we stepped inside, we knew it was the one. The cozy, elegant feel and abundant natural light made it instantly feel like home. We love morning walks on the beach, just a minute away, followed by a stop at The Shake Shop for coffee and donuts. The nearby Blue Mountain Beach Creamery serves delicious homemade ice creams and sorbets, a favorite for all ages. On warm days, we relax by our private pool with a good book or a cocktail. We often bring our parents, who especially appreciate the downstairs master bedroom with no stairs. Gulf Jewel has a unique charm, with one-of-a-kind furniture, light fixtures, and handpicked art that add to its beauty.

Lined with artsy villages, coastal lakes, upscale boutiques, eclectic beach bars, and world-class restaurants, Florida's Scenic Highway 30A has something for everyone. This unique destination has 25,000 acres of protected habitats. Among many things, this area is known for its family-friendly environment and is home to the world's most beautiful white sand beaches. The Timpoochee Trail bike path connects all the villages of 30A. Be sure to take your bike out and explore! The villages of 30A include: Dune Allen Beach, Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach, WaterColor, Seaside, Seagrove Beach, WaterSound, Alys Beach, Seacrest Beach, Rosemary Beach, and Inlet Beach.

Best family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family are all grown men, 2 married, 2 single. When walking into the rental, “Wow!” was the first thing said. There is so much to say about the place. Location was perfect, very near the beach, the famous ice cream shop and an incredible bakery with the best cinnamon rolls. Back to the house. It is beautifully decorated with large bedrooms with private baths. The dipping pool was a bonus and used everyday by everyone. We ate every meal outside on the table near the pool. Customer service was exceptional. Questions were answered promptly and problems handled immediately. We will use this organization for future rentals and booked next summer as we were leaving. Thank you for an incredible experience.

Beach vacay

We had a great stay! It was very close to the beach! The bikes were great for riding 30A( a basket to carry things would be icing on the cake!). The house was very clean and had everything we needed! The pool was very small, but it didn’t stop our grandkids from enjoying splashing around’. We would definitely stay there again!

Great property

What a great house for a quiet beach retreat! Just a few steps to the beach. It's quiet area so the beach isn't crowded but just a few minutes drive to the best restaurants in the area. Very comfortable furniture and beds as well. Hope to rent again!

Family vacation

This property was just as described on the listing. Easy access to the beach. My 80 year old mother was able to walk to the public beach access with ease. The property management company responded instantly to questions (regardless of the time of day). There was broken handle on one toilet when we arrived but management had it fixed right after I reported it to them. The pool was the perfect end to every beach day.

Excellent house and location

Impressive property. Clean. Support staff was great. You can reach the beach with a sling shot. No need to pay +20% or more to be exactly on the beach. Pool was nice after a day at the beach. AC kept up day and night.

Paradise!

This beautiful home has everything for a comfortable and relaxing getaway! The bedrooms are very comfy and baths are stocked with towels and toiletries. The whole house is very spacious and decorated tastefully. The BEST part is that this home is just steps from the white sandy beach! We spent an amazing 4 days enjoying the views from the home, taking long walks on the beach and enjoying the local eateries. Seaside and the outlets are just a few minutes drive. Amazing place! We definitely plan to go back.

Wow!!

This place was spectacular! Walked out front door, and steps to beach for a beautiful walk every morning and night. House was spotlessly clean and location fantastic. We walked to lunch, natural food market and tasty icecream shop down street for treats! Nicely appointed and outside table around pool area to enjoy. House was great as bedroom on main entry floor as well as plenty of space upstairs. Full of light and charming, happy feel. Would definitely return to this special place.

The overall was okay need to do some maintenance work on the house as there were light,broken porch tiles and the dryer didn't work properly, we had an enjoyable time except for the rain but you have no control over that. Would recommend to anyone to stay at one of your properties. Thanks again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent home in close to beach location. Our family totaling 9 enjoyed the trip. Kitchen was stocked well and we didn’t lack anything. Pool was very clean. Bikes were a plus, however no beach chairs or equipment so bring your own. Also be prepared to pay for beach service to get a good spot (we paid $210 for the week) else you have to go to the public beach spots and they tend to be fairly packed.

Family Spring Break Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time and loved the location of this rental. Everything was great...service and communication with the staff was excellent. The house was very well appointed and furnished, and there were plenty of towels, which was awesome. The public beach access was very limited, though, as there were private areas that restricted the space and this is a very popular access, so getting a good spot on beach with plenty of space was tough....get down there early. This does not reflect on the rental, just a suggestion for future renters. The only thing we wish was different was the TV situation in the house. TVs were antiquated and without TV guide and smart capability. We are TV people and enjoy watching in the evening and before bed. Limited channels, guide viewing and streaming capabilities made catching a good show or movie difficult. Would recommend making this upgrade to better enhance the vacation experience.But the Royal Destination team provided an excellent service and were great communicators and we would highly recommend them.
