What began as a small collection of family-friendly vacation homes has grown into a carefully curated portfolio of more than one hundred ten professionally managed properties across Florida.
Founded by travel lovers and real estate professionals, Blue Gems was created with one mission in mind: to elevate the vacation rental experience for both guests and homeowners. With Guest Concierge services, Local Support 24/7, and Smart Home Technology, we bring a new level of comfort and peace of mind to every stay.
Today, we manage homes throughout Florida’s premier resort communities and vacation destinations. Each property is supported by Housekeeping, Inspections, 24/7 Maintenance, Guest Screening, and Guest Damage Coverage so that guests enjoy a seamless stay and owners enjoy stress-free management.
Our mission is to transform short term stays into unforgettable getaways while helping property owners achieve lasting success.
We combine hands on property care, responsive Guest Concierge service, and expert local knowledge to deliver a seamless experience from booking to check out. Every guest benefits from Smart Home Technology, FREE Digital Locks, Local Support 24/7, and peace of mind through Guest Screening and Guest Damage Coverage.
For owners, we provide a transparent partnership with No Long Term Contracts, No Onboarding Fee, and No Monthly Management Fee. With Marketing, Revenue Management, Fast Listings, and an Owner Portal for clear Reporting and Taxes, we bring hospitality done right for both travelers and homeowners.
