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.

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!

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Aug 2025
Thank you, Mark! It means a lot to hear that Gulf Jewel is the first home you'd return to after so many years of visiting the area—that’s high praise! We're glad the location, cleanliness, and kid-friendly pool made for a great stay. We appreciate your note about the kitchen size and are happy to hear it didn’t impact your experience too much. We'd love to welcome you and your family back anytime!

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!
