ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE

Guest Arrival is anytime 4pm EST or after. If the property is approved for early arrival, you will receive a message letting you know you can arrive early and we will activate the door code. If you do not receive a message, then the arrival will remain at 4pm EST.



Guest Departure is anytime 10am EST or before. If you have not departed by this time and do not have written prior approval for a late departure, you will be assessed a $50 late departure fee for every 30 minute delay. The Cleaning Services we use schedule their teams for multiple cleans in advance and any unplanned delays create issues. With unscheduled/unapproved late departures, they are required to bring in additional team members to assist, which incurs a higher cost that must be charged. Any requests made for a late departure must be made a minimum of 24 hours in advance of departure time and are subject to approval/availability.

Beach Place!

My wife and I really enjoyed staying at Gem! 5 minutes walk to the nearest beach access on a quiet road. We took advantage of the kitchen and the grill in the backyard. The bed was comfy and there were extra beach towels. The hosts were easy to contact and gave us great restaurant recommendations. The garage with the washer and dryer was easy to access.

2 Week Get-away

Bart & Sue have done a great job creating 3 different size rentals here at Jacksonville Beach. The location to the beach is great( although tough to walk because of a busy road). Their location is close to restaurants and all kinds of shopping choices( Publix especially). We are looking forward to another visit in the future, but with their GEM 2 option downstairs.

Thanks for staying with us Tom - we are happy you enjoyed the Gem's! We do always recommend crossing at the Stoplight for safety! We are in a bustling busy beach community! We look forward to you returning sometime and not having to do the stairs! Best Wishes, Bart & Sue

Clean and comfortable

The unit was clean and comfortable. Description of the property was accurate and photos gave a clear picture of what is there. The only drawback for me was the location on the non-beach side of 3rd Street, which makes it tough getting to shops, restaurants and down to the beach on foot. 3rd Street is a busy road. Driving to the other side of 3rd street seems safest. The neighborhood was quiet and well kept up.

Thanks for staying with us Paul - we are very happy you enjoyed your visit! Yes, we are a block on the other side of 3rd St - which is A1A. It really comes down to budget - with higher priced rentals all being east of A1A - and more budget friendly options being west of A1A. We have guests that take advantage of our bikes and beach gear - and either ride or walk to the beach. You just are best served to always cross at the stoplights! Best wishes to you! Bart, Jeff & Sue
