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.

The unit was clean and comfortable. Description of the property was accurate and photos gave a clear picture of what is there. The only drawback for me was the location on the non-beach side of 3rd Street, which makes it tough getting to shops, restaurants and down to the beach on foot. 3rd Street is a busy road. Driving to the other side of 3rd street seems safest. The neighborhood was quiet and well kept up.
My wife and I really enjoyed staying at Gem! 5 minutes walk to the nearest beach access on a quiet road. We took advantage of the kitchen and the grill in the backyard. The bed was comfy and there were extra beach towels. The hosts were easy to contact and gave us great restaurant recommendations. The garage with the washer and dryer was easy to access.
Bart & Sue have done a great job creating 3 different size rentals here at Jacksonville Beach. The location to the beach is great( although tough to walk because of a busy road). Their location is close to restaurants and all kinds of shopping choices( Publix especially). We are looking forward to another visit in the future, but with their GEM 2 option downstairs.
