Spend time in this treasure coast small Florida town, a piece of paradise called Vero Beach. Home was all upgraded in 2022.

This home is an excellent choice for both relaxing in privacy or as a base for exploring Vero Beach. The property has everything you need, and a bit more. For active folks, both the beach and the intercoastal are within walking/running/biking distance.

The host was very rude. We had no detergent and they asked us to do the sheets and that we had to check out at 10am and not a minute over. When I said we could not do the laundry because there was no detergent the response was “Jesus, calm down.” They were very unprofessional and the house was definitely overpriced. The pool was not heated and very cold and the cooking supplies in the kitchen were very sparse. It was quite mid.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Dec 2025
Unfortunately, we would not host this guest again. Checkout time was clearly stated as 10:00 AM in the listing, and we kindly requested—due to a same-day Christmas check-in for incoming seasonal guests—if one set of sheets could be left washing. This request was met with an unexpectedly rude and disrespectful response. By the way: the pool IS heated and temperature is set to 90, pool heater runs automatically all winter so this guest lied about the pool not being heated out of spitefulness. We strive to be accommodating and respectful to all guests, especially during holidays, and found this interaction disappointing and unnecessary. Communication was difficult and uncooperative. We recommend NOT renting to this guest

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy home! It is filled with everything you could need and Gigi, the homeowner, is lovely. Communicating with her was a breeze! She was very helpful and kind. The pool was wonderful and we enjoyed seeing the marsh bunnies in the back yard every morning and evening. GREAT location, walk to everything downtown! We will definitely stay again!

Love The Gem

I was fortunate enough to stay in the Gem Oct 2024 and couldn't wait to go back. Finally, it was available for ten days in July so selfishly, I took them all. I love this house. With so many places to choose from, you still never know what you're going to get. The only surprises at The Gem are good:) The feeling you get is just peaceful. Extremely clean. No bugs, or noise. The property is larger than it appears in the pictures while the landscaping/garden, architecture of the house provide absolute privacy. The interior design, including baths, kitchen and furniture are exactly what you see in the listing pics. Stylish, well appointed and very comfortable. BBQ tools etc., the K has all essentials. Laguiole knives were a bonus ;) If you don't want to cook, delicious places, all close for a night out, or delivery. Groceries, restaurants, pharmacies etc. all deliver there. Check-in, easy. Location, speaks for itself- perfect. Internet, TV entertainment options all easy and no issues. Most importantly, Gigi is as lovely as her home. Gracious and generous with her time. She promptly and efficiently answered any question or inquiry I had. Again, clean, peaceful, beautiful, convenient...peaceful privacy. I love this house. Thank you Gigi!

This was our second stay at this location and plan on coming back for a third. We love the location, which is walking distance to so many restaurants and shops downtown vero beach. Very lovely and comfortable home, which was spotless. Everything was perfectly organized for our stay. Communication with the host was excellent.
