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.

Great 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: 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!

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.

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.
