The location was absolutely perfect with stunning views! The calming sound of the ocean while watching the sun rise right from bed was lovely. The house was very cozy and homey, decorated with a beach feel and a Christmas touch. We brought our bikes and were able to ride down to so many trails at the nature preserve right from the house. Kelly was a great host who was both kind and super responsive. She gave us great tips for restaurant options which we definitely used…. Cap’s on the Water was our favorite! It was only 15 minutes into St Augustine for night of lights while getting to stay where it was peaceful and calm. Our dog felt right at home. We also appreciated that you could close the front gate for added privacy. We loved it and will definitely be back!

The Blue Gem was very clean, and stacked completely with everything you need!Of course we brought a lot of our own supplies. It is also Pet Friendly which we truly appreciated! The location is close to good restaurants and stores,but still a very private beach! We even found a wonderful Church to go to on Sunday! D. & J. Sleete

Check in was a breeze. Kitchen is "tight"y but mighty!! Loved having two sitting rooms convenient to the kitchen. The convenience of the house to the beach (and the view!) is worth every penny. All the beach accoutrements you could need. Great place!!

Awesome Property

We stayed here for our anniversary and had a wonderful time. The property was exactly as described, clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable. The entire yard is fenced, so our dog was safe and able to enjoy being off leash. The firepit was a great feature, especially in the evening with the ocean breeze. The grill worked perfectly and even had a full tank of propane, with a spare ready just in case. Check-in was seamless, and communication with the owners was easy and responsive. We would absolutely stay here again!
