The Gem of Gilchrist

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Sail away to this sea breeze home away from home! Just a few steps from your humble abode, you'll find the pristine sandy shores of the Gulf of Mexico where you can dip your feet in the waters, take a nap under the shade of an umbrella, or read a good book as you relax in the sun. The Gulf Range is a short drive away, where you and the family can enjoy a couple of games of mini-golfing or eat at its saloon that serves tasty food all day long.

After you're done exploring the beautiful coast, return back to your vacation rental to find a spacious main living area set up with comfortable tawny couches for you and your guests to rest on after a fun-filled day, a full kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances, and a balcony with a breathtaking view of the waters out on the horizon. Take a quick power nap in the sun in the home's hammock or watch the sun slip under the ocean as the clouds overhead shift from its gorgeous orange hue to nighttime. Be sure to bring a couple of drinks with you and talk until the late hours of the evening with your friends. This'll be one trip you won't forget anytime soon!

Wonderful

The house was perfect, view was perfect. We wanted a quiet place to just relax and enjoy. It's far enough from the crowds but still close if you need to run into town for something. Thank you. We will stay here again.

Perfect spot to relax the soul

This house is the perfect spot for all relaxation and beach needs. You can walk to Rollover Pass to the left or walk towards Crystal beach to the right. This will be my go to home when at the coast. The property was spotless and had an open room concept which was refreshing.

on the beach

Great location, nicely furnished, everything seems very new. Loved the hammock on the porch listening to the waves. Only complaint is that the keyless entry didn't work and we were not given a key, so we could not lock the house when we were away. A small table on the porch would be nice to hold cups while sitting in the rockers.
