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.

Vacay to Gem 3

Very nice property, was perfect for our needs. It is close to lots of restaurants, grocery stores and the beach. We stayed for the month of February because I had appointments at Mayo Clinic and it was only a short drive there. I highly recommend whether you want to stay a few days or longer, it has everything you need!

The Players Group

We were volunteering for The Players Championship, and we loved the convenience of this place. The unit itself was beautiful, nicely laid out, and well equipped with amenities. The unit is located in a great place with easy access to restaurants, shopping, the beach, and A1A. While we were mostly on the golf course, there were plenty of options for dinner and breakfast.

GEM at Jax beach

We booked a last minute trip to Jacksonville beach for much needed “toes in the sand” time. This rental was clean and conveniently located to many restaurants and beach access (with free parking!) was just a few quick blocks away. My favorite part was the cute screened in porch perfect for sipping your coffee in the mornings. I appreciated the outdoor shower for rinsing off after returning from the beach. Communication with the host was easy with quick responses. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with essentials one might need. Overall- we were very pleased with our location and hosts.We would rent GEM 3 again!

Excellent

Beautiful place very clean. LOVED the screened porch. It was all the little touches that impressed us. Small bag of toiletries ,condiments and keurig cups. Everything we needed was there for us to use chairs, towels, boogie boards. One if the best features is each room has individual air conditioners which is great. will definetly book again.

Updated and cute place, funky smell

I stayed at this property for about 5 weeks this summer. It was really well done.....super nice kitchen appliances, very clean condo, great bathroom, jumbo closets, fully functional TV and Internet. This place was obviously well thought out and maintained. The only issue that I had was that there was a really pervasive odor to the unit....it smelled like mold. And now that I am home, I am having a very difficult time eliminating that odor from my things. I would have given it 5 stars but the moldy smell was what kept me from doing so.

Nice place

Nice property, I did rent for the screened porch, which was slightly odd since we had a couple renting the place right to the back which made us both having a cup of coffee in the morning weird because we were facing each other.

A Gem of a place

This was the perfect place to stay while we were in town visiting friends. Walking distance to the beach, plenty of nearby restaurants and shopping. The Gem 3 was comfortable and very accommodating. We enjoyed drinking our morning coffee on the screened porch. I wish we could have started much longer. We’ll definitely be back!
