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.

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.

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.

Close To Public Beach Access

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall the house was really nice. Big rooms with nice bedding. The kitchen is on the small side, so that presented a bit of problem with my husband who loves to cook constantly. Plus the stove is old and we had to call for repairs. Not many wine glasses. I think there was like four random ones. Bring everything you is not the most well stocked kitchen. The pool is small, but was perfect when we were ready for a break from the beach. If you want to swim in a pool, this is not the house for you. The teenagers loved being able to walk to the ice cream shop that is down the street by themselves and they used the bikes provided on several occasions. The house is one house away from a public beach, so if you are planning on being on a more secluded beach...this house is not for you. It is close to a busy intersection with stop sign, with cars going in and out of the parking area going to the beach. I did like the fact that there was a lifeguard on duty who was able to identify a rip current and get swimmers out of the water safely. The chair and umbrella rental was a nice addition (you get two chairs and an umbrella every day (no small tables), but you do have to be out there for him to set them go early to get a good spot!!! Also, you can't leave your chairs too long (tell him that you are leaving for an hour or so and he can do his best to hold them for you), because if you leave for too long of a period they will give your chairs to someone else. Overall we enjoyed the house, but probably will go further down 30A to a more secluded spot.

This house was fantastic! We had seven of us staying there for 10 days. There was room for at least three more to join us. It was located only a block from the beach, and had 2-3 reserved parking spaces out front, and several other public street spaces generally available throughout the day. The unit was clean and up to date, including tons of dishes, glassware, silverware, appliances, towels, and most everything else you would need. It even included four touring bikes and some beach and pool items like chairs and floats. The private pool was a little small, but very soothing on warm days. There were also several nice food/drink places within walking distance to the unit. One of the highlights of the trip was the property management company “Royal Destinations”. They were in constant contact with us before, during, and after our trip, taking care of our every need. They Blue Mountain beach was great as well, including nice clean bathrooms, rinse off stations, and filtered water dispensers. The only issue was most days there was tons of vegetation in the gulf water and some washed up on the beach, but that had nothing to do with the unit or the property management.

Gulf Jewel is worth it

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: We’ve been staying either at Blue Mtn or Gulf Place for the past 11 years. This is the first place I would come back to. The only knock I have against here is the size of the kitchen as it’s a tad small. However we ate out most meals so it wasn’t an issue. Rental was clean and in working order. Location is wonderful, we didn’t even take a cooler to the beach. Close enough for toddlers to walk most of the way. Pool was great for the kids.

Great Vacation!!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great vacation home! Me and my family were very pleased with the location. Place was clean and very accommodating. One of the things that we liked the most was the showers in every room, and we never ran out of hot water. We were just minutes from a lot of great restaurants. The pool was a little smaller than we expected but the children still had a ball in it. We were very pleased with the whole experience!

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.

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.

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!
